Prayer Pointers - Week 12
Attitude of heart(Sharing and Giving)
Above all else, guard your heart,
for it is the wellspring of life.
- Proverbs 4:23,NIV
How's your heart? What is the attitude of your heart? Do you have the heart of compassion and love that God has for the lost and poor? Have you been serving God's heart and having God's heart in your life? Have you been guarding your heart like God wants you to?
Last week was the heart of compassion for the poor and the lost. Now it's the heart of sharing and giving.
Be careful not to harbor this wicked thought: "The seventh year, the year for canceling debts, is near," so that you do not show ill will toward your needy brother and give him nothing. He may then appeal to the LORD against you, and you will be found guilty of sin.
-Deuteronomy 15:9,NIV
Back then, the seventh year is the year all the debts will be cancelled. However, many people are calculative and say: "The seventh year is near, I must not give to these needy person in case I don't give back." But that is the wrong attitude of heart! If Jesus died for you, what is compared to it? GIVE 4 the Lord first given you! Is there anything else compared to it? Did the Lord calculate before he died for you that you might never repent? Or what the Lord will gain in return? NO! EXERCISE THE HEART OF JESUS! DON'T BE CALCULATIVE IN GIVING AND SHARING!
A generous man will prosper; he who refreshes others will himself be refreshed.
-Proverbs 11:25,NIV,Emphasis added
By giving and sharing you care for the poor and the poor and lost will ask you why and you can reply because Jesus did and share with them. Get to meet the needs of the people, GIVE AND SHARE!
Pls also read Matthew 25:31-46
