“Supply The Needs Of The Saints”
Sunday, May 4, 2025Key Verse
“Distributing to the necessity of saints; given to hospitality” (Romans 12:13).
Text —Romans 12:13-16
Message
A popularly quoted axiom states that, “Givers never lack.” This supports the words of our Lord Jesus Christ who said that,” It is more blessed to give than to receive” (Acts 20:35b). We should give to the needy people, especially those of the household of faith. Saints of old practised this principle. God did not only command it in the Bible but also provided the greatest example, by giving us His only begotten Son for the redemption of lost humanity. Giving brings gain in physical, financial and spiritual blessings. Meeting saints’ needs remains part of godliness. The Scripture says, “Give and it shall be given unto you.” Supplying believers’ needs in times of war, bereavement, sickness, or extreme poverty is biblical.
The gospel has reached all nations today because men and women, and even youngsters, gave financially and materially for mission work. When the need arises, don’t hesitate to distribute “to the necessity of saints; given to hospitality” (Romans 12:13). However, give yourself first to God, and your sacrificial giving will be honoured by Him.
