Blessing For Todayគំរូ

Only Increase 

The Lord expects us to build His kingdom on earth by helping the needy and the downtrodden. The more you give, the more you receive. It is God who gives the increase. 

The news of the demise of the world renowned singer Michael Jackson known as the King of Pop, shook the nations. He was just 50 years old when he died. The world celebrated him for having sold more than a hundred million music albums. The entire world sang his songs and danced his steps. Through this, he earned many millions of dollars. However, one fine day, in a fraction of a second he passed away. The newspapers wrote, “He lived as a millionaire but at the time of his death he passed away with nothing in his hands.” The reason was that he had incurred heavy debts. Sometime ago, I read in the daily newspaper, of a rich man who lived abroad. He was reported to have 12 aeroplanes for his own personal use. He was blessed with enormous riches because he donated with great joy ten-twelfth of his income (ten rupees out of every twelve that he earns) for the missionary work of our Lord. Thus he was blessed richly. 

My friend, the riches of the world don’t last forever. But when you give like this millionaire to the Lord what belongs to Him, He will surely shower His blessings on you too. 

Prayer

“Lord God, I choose to give You what belongs to You - the first fruits of everything I have. Fill me with Your grace to increase year by year and to be a blessing to many downtrodden people. Let me rejoice in Your household. This I pray in Jesus’ name, Amen.”
