MY DAILY COVENANT WITH GOD DEVOTIONAL

Topic:
Be Influential and Honourable
Text:
Psalm 112:9
It was Aquinas who sagely said, “Man
should not consider his outward possession as his own but as common to all; so
as to share them without hesitation when others are in need.” Have you
ever asked yourself what are the things people will use to remember you when
you die? What will people say that you achieved?
The concern of people is just to acquire wealth
for their immediate family and generations unborn. The generous person is
someone who is God’s reserviour from where His abundance flows out to supply
the need of the needy. While a stingy person do have great in-gathering but very
slow in dispersing those blessings. Which group do you belong?
In our text, the Psalmist said that God will
remember those who give generously for their good deeds. He asserts that being
generous with our gifts and blessings is the very way to become influential and
honourable. This reminds me of Dorcas (Acts 9:36 – 43). What are the lessons
for us in Proverbs 19:17 & 2 Corinthians 9:6 – 7?
Are you generous with the blessings God has
bestowed on you? If not repent today and begin to share your blessings with
other so that you can become influential and honourable. Above all God will
remember and reward your good deeds. Use this Lenten Season as a period to
start something.
Food for
Thought: It is
your generosity that will bring you influence and honour and not the wealth you
have accumulated.
Memory
verse: 2
Corinthians 9:9
Prayer:
God grant to me the spirit of generosity and help me never to be stingy with
the blessings you have bestowed on me
