BE A GIVER

July 19, 2024 • Dr Zubeda Sing, Pastor Zubeda Sing

give, and it shall be given unto you; good measure, pressed down, shaken together, running over, shall they give into your bosom. For with what measure ye mete it shall be measured to you again. Luke 6v38

Giving is a characteristic of our heavenly Father. Our Father is very concerned about us and would love for us to live our best life so he sent his only Son Jesus to die for us, giving us salvation. We find that this characteristic resides on the inside of us. We too love to give. I am not only talking about money, I am talking about kindness and compassion to others. Reaching out a helping hand to those in need etc. When it comes to giving to the kingdom of God, that is elementary stuff, it should be something we do automatically in response to our gratefulness to God for what he has done for us. It is part of the return on investment that God has invested in us. There is another part to this. In receiving, it is dependent on our relationship with others, as it is men who shall give into our lives. We can only receive from people with whom we have a good relationship. So practice your love walk in your giving and you too will receive a reward on your investment into the lives of people.

In your God-given calling, the area of giving will be cultivated in your life by the Holy Spirit as he helps develop your character.

CONFESSION/PRAYER

I am a giver, I give of my resources and of the love God has placed in my heart. I invest in the kingdom of God by my giving and I invest in peoples lives by what God has place in my life. holy spirit help me in my giving.

You will show me the path of life; In Your presence is fullness of joy; In Your right hand there are pleasures forevermore. Psalm 16v11 Yes, in the presence of the Lord there is fullness of joy. When we say, practice the presence of God, it simply means, become God conscious in all that you do, in all of your daily living, talking, walking life. Engage God in your day. Whenever you remember, just invite the Holy Spirit in. Say to him as you get up in the morning, “good morning Holy Spirit”. During the course of your day, when you are overwhelmed by chaos or an unexpected situation, call on the name of Jesus and you will suddenly feel his presence fill your heart. Even in a joyful part of your life, speak his name and begin to thank him for his goodness in your life. This is a personal choice each of us have to make if we are wanting more in our lives. It is a glorious choice to have an intimate walk with God, it fills your life with a wealth of wisdom and power for each day. Give God a chance to change you today. CONFESSION/PRAYER Lord God almighty I need you more and more each day. Holy Spirit help me to practice being in your presence each and every day. You are my helper and comforter in every moment of my life. I give you all of me as you have given me all of you.

Then He spoke a parable to them, that men always ought to pray and not lose heart. Luke 18v1 But you, dear friends, carefully build yourselves up in this most holy faith by praying in the Holy Spirit, staying right at the center of God’s love, keeping your arms open and outstretched, ready for the mercy of our Master, Jesus Christ. Jude 20 There are many types of prayer. Prayer of petition, where you make requests on behalf of others. Warfare prayer, where you command evil spirits to flee etc. However, in the life of a believer, praying is staying connected to God. Prayer helps us to hear God and receive direction in our lives. Prayer is essential. You may start out not knowing how to pray, but as you spend time in the presence of the Lord, you will grow to love prayer because it brings peace and allows you to learn the voice of God. it’s the most wonderful fellowship you will ever having. You should set aside time each day to pray. You may say I am too busy to pray, the response to that would be, you will be even busier if you do not pray. God can make things happen that would not be possible in your own strength. Give God a chance, it’s so worth it. In your relentless pursuit of your God given calling, prayer is a divine connection to heaven that gives you authority on this earth. CONFESSION/PRAYER Holy spirit I give myself to you to help me develop a time to worship the father and a prayer language to speak to him. I need his spirit of counsel and might in my life. I need direction for each and every day, so my prayer life prepares me for each day.

And the Spirit of the LORD will rest on Him— The Spirit of wisdom and understanding, The Spirit of counsel and strength, The Spirit of knowledge and of the [reverential and obedient] fear of the LORD—Isaiah 11v2 The same spirit that raised Christ from the dead reigns in us. This is the presence of the Holy Spirit. This spirit of counsel rests in us as well. It is the spirit of wisdom and understanding that helps us in our daily lives. When we meet people who are in need of counsel, you will find this spirit of counsel well up on the inside of you and you will begin to speak words to the people, not realizing you had this on the inside of you. The presence of God makes you rich in wisdom and understanding so the spirit of counsel can help you in your everyday life. God placed his spirit in you so you can be an extension of him on this earth. Let the Holy Spirit use you in counselling others. It’s God’s way of reaching out to his people through you. This is the wealth and riches he talks to us about. The debt of love to others. CONFESSION/PRAYER The spirit of the Lord rests on me as it rested on Jesus. Holy Spirit help each and every day so I can reach out when someone is in need of counsel. It is not my own words that I speak, it is your words, so it brings healing to the hearer.
