LEARN TO SERVE AND GIVE

Success means many things to many people. Some feel success is having enough money in the bank. Some feel success is making it to the top in their career. Some feel success is family or health. However, God has another definition in mind. To Him, for us to be successful we are to give. His definition of success is to follow, obey and believe in Him. And that means serving Him, giving to others and sharing His love.

SCRIPTURE: 2 Corinthians 9:10 “For God is the one who provides seed for the farmer and then bread to eat. In the same way, he will provide and increase your resources and then produce a great harvest of generosity in you.” (NLT)

ACTION STEPS:
1. List ways you minister to others.
2. Write down what you give to others.
3. Know God wants you to serve Him and share His love.
4. Seek ways to give and share God’s word today.

PRAYER: Dear Lord, there are so many opportunities for us to serve and to give to others. We sometimes pass them by because we are too busy focusing on ourselves. We sometimes overlook these opportunities because we are thinking about what we want rather than what we can give. Help us to be more mindful of the needs of others and show us where to give to others with what You have so generously blessed us with. In Jesus’ name. Amen.

REMEMBER:
God tells us it is more blessed to give than to receive. Acts 20:35

When we give what God has blessed us with, we can share His word with others and give Him the glory.

When we give to others what God has blessed us with, they will thank God and give Him the glory.

FOCUS: 2 Corinthians 9:13a “As a result of your ministry, they will give glory to God.” (NLT)

We should strive for success by giving what God has blessed us with.
