TOPIC: THE ALCHEMY OF GIVING AND RECEIVING

AUTHOR: MARY LAWRENCE-DOKPESI

SCRIPTURE:

(Give, and it will be given to you. A good measure, pressed down, shaken together and running over, will be poured into your lap. For with the measure you use, it will be measured to you.)- Luke 6:38

SPIRITUAL POSTULATION:

The act of giving opens the flow of abundance to receive.

REFLECTION:

The teachings of Jesus in the Bible offer a unique insight into achieving wealth and prosperity. In Luke 6:38, Jesus teaches us the art of giving and receiving. When we give generously, we open the door to receive blessings in return. However, our giving must be done well for us to receive back from God. Give timely, confidential, and useful items without expecting anything in return. When someone needs bread, don’t give them clothes instead. Giving is an essential aspect of living a fulfilling life. It not only helps those in need but also fosters gratitude, humility, and empathy. When we give selflessly, we attract abundance and prosperity, as the universe reciprocates our generosity. Our actions and intentions are of utmost importance in the journey to wealth. By focusing on giving and helping others, we cultivate a positive mindset that will ultimately lead to success and happiness.

PRAYERS”

Father, in the name of Jesus Christ, help me to be generous, kind, and compassionate, and to use my resources wisely. May your wisdom and love be my guide as I strive to create a better world for all. Amen.

TAKE ACTION;

1. Give to those in need through charities, volunteering, or helping friends/family.

2. Be kind, respectful, and generous in daily interactions, and help others with your resources and time.
