READ: Genesis 4:1-7
“And in process of time it came to pass, that Cain brought of the fruit of the ground an offering unto the Lord. And Abel, he also brought of the firstlings of his flock and of the fat thereof. And the Lord had respect unto Abel and to his offering:” – Genesis 4:3-4
There are always two kinds of people: an Abel or a Cain. Those who do what is convenient and those who do a little bit more! To please someone, you always have to do a little bit more.
The concept of doing “a little bit more” is applied in other areas of life with outstanding results. Today, most women do not come out of their houses with their natural hair. They do a little something to their hair. They know that a little bit of effort applied to their hair will make them look more beautiful. Most people do not come out of their houses with their natural smells. A quick bath and some perfume make them completely different people.
If you were informed that you were going to die, you would want to give a little bit more towards eternity. One day, one of my church members was informed by the doctors that he was going to die in a few months. Shortly after the doctors informed him of his impending death, he called me to his house and gave a large offering towards evangelism. I urged him not to give this offering because he would need a lot of money to pay medical bills. But he insisted on giving it. Eternity was looming and he felt that he should do a little bit more. Before the reality of death struck, he did not sense the need to do more.
Dear friend, there is no need to wait until eternity looms. It is time to do a little bit more. Do not wait till you are dying before you give a little more or serve God a little harder. It is time for you to do a little bit more of giving and sacrificing for God’s work.
