TOPIC: What Type Of Giver Are You? (IV) (Mountain Of Fire and Miracle Ministries, MFM Devotional 31 January 2022)
BIBLE IN ONE YEAR: Exodus 25–26; Matthew 20:17–34
FIRE SCRIPTURE: Mark 12:41-44 (KJV)
41 And Jesus sat over against the treasury, and beheld how the people cast money into the treasury: and many that were rich cast in much.
42 And there came a certain poor widow, and she threw in two mites, which make a farthing.
43 And he called unto him his disciples, and saith unto them, Verily I say unto you, That this poor widow hath cast more in, than all they which have cast into the treasury:
44 For all they did cast in of their abundance; but she of her want did cast in all that she had, even all her living.
MEMORY VERSE: “And the king said unto Araunah, Nay; but I will surely buy it of thee at a price: neither will I offer burnt offerings unto the Lord my God of that which doth cost me nothing. So David bought the threshingfloor and the oxen for fifty shekels of silver.” – 2 Samuel 24:24
MOTIVATIONAL QUOTE:
We rise by lifting others.
PRAISE & WORSHIP
Take praise and worship songs as led by the Holy Spirit.
PROPHETIC WORD FOR TODAY:
I decree that, as you make yourself a giver that pleases God, heaven will give you pleasant surprises, in the Name of Jesus.
The MESSAGE:
Beloved, you should be a voluntary giver. The Bible affirms that Zacchaeus gave his goods to feed the poor without being asked (Luke 19:1-9). He is a worthy example and I advise that you imitate him.
Psalm 41:1-3 says, “Blessed is he that considereth the poor: the LORD will deliver him in time of trouble. The LORD will preserve him, and keep him alive; and he shall be blessed upon the earth: and thou wilt not deliver him unto the will of his enemies. The LORD will strengthen him upon the bed of languishing: thou wilt make all his bed in his sickness.”

Another type of giver you should be is an unpretentious giver. In giving, you should be modest and unassuming; don’t try to impress others or make a show of your giving.
In Luke 10:25-37, the Bible relates the story of a traveller who was attacked by armed robbers, wounded and left half dead. Though a priest and a Levite both ignored the man, the Samaritan had compassion on him. He bound up his wounds, poured oil and wine on it, set him on his beast and took him to an inn to take care of him. He paid for the sick man’s treatment and promised to pay more when he returned from his trip. I want you to note that the Samaritan did all these without making any show of his giving. Imitate him!
As a believer, the Bible enjoins that you should be a perfumed giver. The Philippians were perfumed givers. The Bible says that their gifts were “an odour of a sweet smell, a sacrifice acceptable, well-pleasing to God”(Philippians 4:18). What this means is that they gave a fragrant offering, acceptable sacrifice, pleasing to God. Your giving should have these beautiful features.
Finally, you should imitate the greatest giver –God, who gave His only begotten Son for you and me that we might be saved (John 3:16-17).
Beloved, having learnt the type of giver you shouldn’t be and the type heaven wants you to be, you should now make a decision to be an exemplary giver. Draw up a plan on how to achieve that. Take practical steps to become a faithful giver today. Your rewards will be amazing!
