RECIPROCATING THE GOODNESS OF GOD. REV.ISHMAEL ASARE BAKAE
INTRODUCTION
WHAT SHALL I RENDER?
“What shall I render unto the Lord for all His benefits toward me?”
— Psalm 116:12 (KJV)
This piercing question from the psalmist is not rhetorical—it is reflective, personal, and deeply spiritual. In a world where people often take blessings for granted, where divine interventions are quickly forgotten and mercies are met with silence, the Spirit of God is calling us to pause and consider: How are we responding to God’s goodness?
The truth is, we are daily recipients of divine kindness. From the air we breathe to the blood that courses through our veins, from salvation through Christ to the strength to face each day—God’s goodness surrounds us. He loads us with benefits daily (Psalm 68:19), grants us new mercies every morning (Lamentations 3:22–23), and showers us with grace that cannot be earned. But the true test of our spiritual maturity is not just in our ability to receive, but in our willingness to reciprocate.
This book is written to stir your heart toward a lifestyle that reflects gratitude, obedience, worship, service, and testimony. It is not about paying God back—because we never truly can—but about living in such a way that honors His kindness and makes Him known to others.
To reciprocate God’s goodness means to give back from the overflow of what He has given. It is a call to live intentionally for Him, to let your life become a fragrance of thanksgiving, and to use every opportunity to glorify the One who has done so much for you.
Whether you are in a season of abundance or adversity, this book will help you discover that gratitude is not seasonal—it is foundational. You will learn how to respond in worship, serve with joy, trust in trials, and testify with boldness.
This is more than a devotional or a theological reflection. It is a call to action, a summons to live fully for the One who gave His all.
As you journey through the pages ahead, may your heart burn with renewed love for God, and may your life become a living testimony of one who knows what it means to reciprocate His goodness.
Let the question echo again in your soul:
“What shall I render unto the Lord for all His benefits toward me?”
