LOVE BIG!

                                                   LOVE BIG

He who sows sparingly will also reap sparingly, and he who sows bountifully will also reap bountifully.
—2 Corinthians 9:6

Have you ever heard heavenly music in your sleep? That has happened to me maybe five times in my life where in my sleep I heard music too wonderful to describe. It was music unlike anything I’ve ever heard in this world. I love music in this world, but the music I’ve heard a few times in my sleep is indescribable. 

One time when this happened and that particular time I heard these words in the music: “Love big and take out the decimal point.” I felt like the Lord was telling me to love big, give big, and live big. In 2 Corinthians 9:6, Paul says, “He who sows sparingly will also reap sparingly, and he who sows bountifully will also reap bountifully.”

So I want to encourage you today, beloved one, to trust God—live big, love big, give big, and expect big things from God. You’re more than you think you are. And God wants us to step out of our comfort zone and live in His glory zone. He wants us to take risks. He wants us not to shrink back and try to fit in with the crowd. He wants us not to live in fear. He wants us not to withhold giving to the kingdom because we fear what might happen tomorrow. No, God wants us to trust Him. Give big; love big!

Stay in Balance!

  Then Jesus said, “Let’s go off by ourselves to a quiet place and rest awhile.” He said this because there were so many people coming and going that Jesus and his apostles didn’t even have time to eat. Mark 6:31 Stay in Balance Everywhere Jesus went, He was healing people, teaching in the synagogues, pouring Himself into His disciples. People made constant demands on His time and energies. Imagine how He felt. As the Son of God, He had this incredible power, anointing, wisdom, so much to offer. Yet at times, when He was exhausted, He would go away from the crowds and get alone so He could be refreshed. Despite the pressing needs around Him, Jesus knew that He had to take care of His temple.  If the Son of God had to be alone and rest, if He couldn’t meet all the demands of the people around Him, why do we think we can go all the time and be everything for everyone? No matter how anointed, strong, smart, or gifted you are, you get depleted. Despite all the needs around you, yo...

Give Cheerfully!

        Give Cheerfully “Each of you should give what you have decided in your heart to give, not reluctantly or under compulsion, for God loves a cheerful giver.”  (2 Corinthians 9:7) When giving is done with the right attitude, it can be a gateway for God to move in significant ways in our lives. It is important to remember that it is not the amount we give that matters so much as it is the attitude that characterizes our giving. God loves it when we give out of a cheerful and grateful heart. God’s loving of a cheerful giver results in God taking action in our lives. Scripture states unequivocally that God will make all spiritual and earthly blessing abound to us so we can multiply our efforts for the kingdom. This is why I believe giving provides a major gateway for God to work in our lives, we can expect God to visit us. Jesus will fellowship with the cheerful giver, and the Holy Spirit will impart life to out mortal bodies. When we weave a pattern of giving...
