“THERE IS GAIN IN GIVING”

Key Verse

“I have showed you all things, how that so labouring ye ought to support the weak, and to remember the words of the Lord Jesus, how he said, It is more blessed to give than to receive” (Acts 20:35).

Text —Acts 20:34-38

Message

John D. Rockefeller learnt the blessedness of giving the tithe (ten percent) of his income from his mother. At age 16 he started a job and was faithful in tithing. He became a wealthy young millionaire and established the world’s biggest company at age 43. At age 53, he stopped giving the tithe. He contracted a terrible terminal disease. He repented of his selfishness and was healed. He started Charity Foundations that supported the weak and needy. He lived healthy till a ripe age of 98 years.

Apostle Paul was a professional Lawyer before he met Christ. From that day he consecrated himself to evangelism and Church planting in the heathen nations. He took to tent-making to support his basic needs and those of the brethren who were with him (Acts 18:3; 20:34). Paul was a giver, hence he admonished saying, “Distributing to the necessity of saints; given to hospitality” (Romans 12:13). He was a champion of “sowing into the lives of others.” Do not always expect to receive; also give. Give tithes and offerings and never forget the needy.

Quote
