READ: Philippians 4:12-20
“I can do all things through Christ which strengtheneth me” – Philippians 4:13
Today, there are many little things that we can do that will make a huge difference in the overall effort of building the kingdom of God. Just a little bit more effort, a little bit more time, a little bit more money to advance the cause of Christ, a little bit more interest in the unsaved soul, a little bit more care for your neighbour will make a huge difference.
When you give a little bit more, you become like the Philippians and you will receive “a little bit more” blessings from God. Blessings such as “My God shall supply all your needs according to His riches in glory in Christ Jesus.”
You cannot say that your offering means nothing. A little bit more always means something and a little bit less also means something.
One day, I visited a church and preached powerfully. It was a very large church with a blessed pastor. When I finished preaching, they blessed me with “a little bit less” than they had blessed me with before. Indeed, whilst I was preaching, I had felt that I was not so welcome any more. Ensuing events confirmed all that I had thought. I was right when I interpreted that a little bit less meant I was a little bit less welcome.
It is time to honour your pastors with a little bit more. It is time to honour your church with a little bit more. It is time to honour God’s work with a little bit more of your money. A little bit more means a little bit more love. Can’t you do just a little bit more? This is a clarion call we cannot ignore!
