YOUR MOTIVATION

AND THROUGH I BESTOW ALL MY GOODS TO FEED THE POOR, AND THOUGH I GIVE MY BODY TO BE BURNED AND HAVE NOT CHARITY, IT PROFITETH ME NOTHING. 1 CORINTHIANS 13:3 The motive behind our gift is more important than the gift itself. If you give all of your goods to feed the poor, or if you make the ultimate sacrifice of giving your life for someone else, and is not motivated by love, your gift will profit you nothing. Many Christians give faithfully but never see the hundredfold return that the Lord promised because of wrong motives (Mark 10:29-30). God loves a cheerful giver not one who gives grudgingly or out of dept (2Corinthians 9:7). Jesus gave us the key to purifying our motives. Jesus said but when thou does not alms, let not thy left hand know what thy right hand doeth Matthew 6:3. Giving in a manner in which you will not recieve recognition for your gifts will gurantee that your motives are right and grant you the true joy that comes through selfless giving Act 20:24. Ask the Lord to show you an opportunity today to give a kind word or a helping hand to someone who will not be able to repay you and others will never know about it. This could be a motorist in a traffic jam, a spouse, a child who won't even notice your kind deed, or any number of other people. Opportunities are all around us.

SUPERNATURAL ABILITY

HOW GOD ANIOTED JESUS OF NAZARETH WITH THE HOLY GHOST AND WITH POWER: WHO WENT ABOUT DOING GOOD AND HEALING ALL THAT WERE OPPRESSED OF THE DEVIL. FOR GOD WAS WITH HIM. ACTS 10:38 In the presence of God there is liberty. The presence of God in the life of a man makes him to operate supernaturally. The presence of God with the Isrealites caused heaven to be opened. The supernatural power of God flows in the direction of those who have genuine encounter with God on regular basis. Through this unusual power can come upon you as a gift, it is activated and operated by prayer and fasting. To be for God and against the devil, we must be much with God. Our ability to overcome and subdue satanic agents and their demonic operations lies in our regular and uninterrupted contact with God's anointing which is availabe in His presence.
