Daily Manna Devotional 29 May 2018 by Bishop Chris
TOPIC: THE HAND AND HEART CONNECTION!
BASIC SCRIPTURES: 1 CORINTHIANS 13:1-3; 2 COR 9: 5-10
Welcome to today’s devotional with the Holy Spirit, the giver of all good gifts.Note from today’s first scripture that a gift that is not filled with and wrapped with love is not a gift at all. IT’S NOT YOUR GIFT THAT COUNTS (THAT IS, THE PHYSICAL THING, OR THE PHYSICAL ACT OF SERVICE), RATHER IT IS THE LOVE THAT THE RECEIVER FEELS THAT MATTERS! It is the attitude that backs your giving that counts! No wonder the Bible says, “GOD LOVES A CHEERFUL GIVER” (Vs 7 of the second scripture). Oh NOTE THIS:

A HAND THAT GIVES MUST BE SUPPORTED WITH A HEART THAT GIVES. I call it the “HAND-HEART CONNECTION!”
If your hands give, but your heart withholds, you are not giving with a heart of love and the result will be ZERO! “God loves a CHEERFUL GIVER” means that He looks at the ATTITUDE OF YOUR HEART EACH TIME YOU GIVE ANYTHING! This is one reason why GIVERS LACK! If your heart gives, your will definitely give. Daily Manna Devotional 29 May 2018 by Bishop Chris
Don’t give out of compulsion! Never let anyone/pastor pressure you into giving! Give out of a willing, cheerful heart! DON’T THINK THAT “HOW MUCH CAN I KEEP?” RATHER, THINK “HOW MUCH CAN I GIVE?” A HEART THAT FOCUSES ON “HOW MUCH CAN I KEEP?” IS A HEART THAT IS GIVING SPARINGLY AND RELUCTANTLY! Such a heart can never give a gift of love.

Make a change in this 2nd quarter of 2018! Let’s close with words of Mother Theresa, “A life not lived for others is not a life.” And always remember: A HAND THAT GIVES MUST BE SUPPORTED WITH A HEART THAT GIVES! Your giving ATTITUDE (heart) determines your HARVEST ALTITUDE! Love others! Be cheerful! when giving! Give as led! Never give in anger!
