KEY SCRIPTURE:1Ti 6:18 WEB “that they do good, that they be rich in good works, that they be ready to distribute, willing to share.”

​

God blesses  an individual so that he would be a blessing to the needy. In the economy of God, the less privileged are the responsibility of the blessed. Eph 4:28 WEB” Let him who stole steal no more; but rather let him labour, producing with his hands something that is good, that he may have something to give to him who has need.” The Lord, through Paul, is telling the robber to stop stealing and work with his hands so that he can be a blessing to the needy. This clearly reveals that every Christian ‘s ambition to be rich should primarily be  to relieve the poor, the weak and the helpless from their depravity.

​

Many people, including Christians, have no thought or consideration of the poor in their pursuit of financial freedom. Dear child of God ,you are God’s representative on the earth to do what God would have done for mankind if He were physically living in their midst. This brings you into perfect partnership  with the Lord in discharging His will on the earth. God considers you who gives to the poor as one who has loaned to the Lord. Pro 19:17 KJV” He that hath pity upon the poor lendeth unto the LORD; and that which he hath given will he pay him again.”

​

Please, can you imagine God repaying a loan with His own term of interest? Do you remember what He said in Luke 6:38? Luke  6:38 KJV” Give, and it shall be given unto you; good measure, pressed down, and shaken together, and running over, shall men give into your bosom. For with the same measure that ye mete withal it shall be measured to you again.” The word says you must be rich in doing good. This means you are a prolific or ready to bless. God always cherishes cheerful givers.
