**Topic: It is dangerous to keep God’s portion with us.
Today’s God’s Promise:**
“I asked them, ‘Each of you give me the earrings from your plunder…’” (Judges 8:24)
Dear brothers and sisters,
In this verse, Gideon asked the people for earrings, and they gave them. This teaches us a spiritual truth.
From the income God has given us, the 10th part belongs to Him.
Every month, from our salary or income:
We must give what we are supposed to give
We should not use it for ourselves
We should not keep it with us; when God’s servant asks for help:
We must give what is due
Those offerings:
Can be used by the servant for ministry
The servant can live through them
This is the authority given by God
But,
If we do not give what we should and keep it with us
It is like using God’s portion for our own selfish needs
Such a condition:
Becomes like idolatry
Because:
We are taking God’s portion and using it for ourselves
Dear beloved,
Be sure to give what you must give
Honor God’s portion as holy
Walk in obedience
Give to God what belongs to God… Amen
Prayer:
Lord, help me not to hold back or hide Your portion from what You have given me, but to offer it faithfully. Amen.
