READ: 2 Corinthians 8:1-15
“For if there be first a willing mind, it is accepted according to that a man hath…” – 2 Corinthians 8:12
We all need divine provision. We need God. We cannot put the Lord Jesus on a side plate; He must be the main course! God must be central to our lives and He must be a part of both our financial and social lives. If you want God to divinely provide for you, then you must accept that there are divine laws and principles in place. These divine laws must be set to work on your behalf, otherwise God will not get involved in providing for you.
An important condition for having your offering accepted by God is this: The offering will be accepted according to what you have. This means that everyone is supposed to give in proportion to what he has. When a person gives out of proportion to what he has, it may be unacceptable to the Lord.
Another important condition for an acceptable offering is this: You must not give offerings having in mind things you do not have. If you think about the things you intend to buy, you will not be happy to give. In fact, you will start penalizing God for not having certain things, and you will end up not giving an acceptable offering. You need to forget about all the things you lack when it’s time to build the Lord’s kingdom. Forget about your own projects and give freely to the Lord.
May the Lord give you the spirit of revelation to grasp these powerful truths. Once you live by this revelation, God will always accept your offerings. You will be propelled into divine provision and unbeatable prosperity!
