Today's Word of Blessing

GOD WILL REWARD YOUStella Dhinakaran

Give, and it will be given to you. A good measure, pressed down, shaken together and running over, will be poured into your lap.    (Luke 6:38)

Dearly beloved, God will richly reward you.

Many years ago, my husband and I had to face financial problems. After the 20th of every month, we would not have money at all. I was very prudent in spending. Hence I didn’t appoint a maid to do the household work. I did all the work myself. But still, there was no end to our financial problems.

It was at that time the Lord spoke to us through the Holy Spirit. He said, “Give your income into My hand. I will bless it and increase it.” Accordingly, as soon as my husband got his salary, both of us would kneel down and pray.

My son Paul Dhinakaran was just three years old then. We would give the salary in his hand and place our hands upon it and pray for God to bless it. Then the Lord blessed my husband with a promotion in his job and thus increased his salary. That is how the Lord changed our financial condition.

The Lord says, “Bring the whole tithe into the storehouse, that there may be food in my house. Test me in this," says the LORD Almighty, "and see if I will not throw open the floodgates of heaven and pour out so much blessing that you will not have room enough for it” (Malachi 3:10).

During the initial stages of my married life, I did not know the importance of tithing. Since my husband’s salary was very meager, I was wondering as how we could manage the whole month after giving one tenth of his salary to God. I was gripped by unbelief. But my husband was very faithful in giving his tithe every month.

The Lord who promised, “I will open the floodgates of heaven and pour out so much blessing that you will not have room enough for it,” proved this promise true in my life hundred percent. The hand of God began to supply all our needs in a miraculous manner every month.

Dearly beloved, the Bible says, “Give, and it will be given to you. A good measure, pressed down, shaken together and running over, will be poured into your lap” (Luke 6:38). You too should be careful in giving one tenth of your income to the Lord. Then the Lord will bless you in an abundant measure.

Prayer:

Loving Lord Jesus,

You are my Provider. I trust in You. Bless the work of my hands. Bless my income and increase it. Resolve my financial problem. Throw open the floodgates of heaven and pour out your blessing upon me. Supply all my needs in a miraculous manner.

I ask this through Christ our Lord.

Amen.
