TOPIC: The Giving That Guarantees Reward (I) (Mountain Of Fire and Miracle Ministries, MFM Devotional 30 January 2023)
BIBLE IN ONE YEAR: Exodus 38, Exodus 39, Exodus 40, John 20, John 21, Acts 1
FIRE SCRIPTURE: 2 Corinthians 9:5-15 (KJV)
5 Therefore I thought it necessary to exhort the brethren, that they would go before unto you, and make up beforehand your bounty, whereof ye had notice before, that the same might be ready, as a matter of bounty, and not as of covetousness.
6 But this I say, He which soweth sparingly shall reap also sparingly; and he which soweth bountifully shall reap also bountifully.
7 Every man according as he purposeth in his heart, so let him give; not grudgingly, or of necessity: for God loveth a cheerful giver.
8 And God is able to make all grace abound toward you; that ye, always having all sufficiency in all things, may abound to every good work:
9 (As it is written, He hath dispersed abroad; he hath given to the poor: his righteousness remaineth for ever.
10 Now he that ministereth seed to the sower both minister bread for your food, and multiply your seed sown, and increase the fruits of your righteousness;)
11 Being enriched in every thing to all bountifulness, which causeth through us thanksgiving to God.
12 For the administration of this service not only supplieth the want of the saints, but is abundant also by many thanksgivings unto God;
13 Whiles by the experiment of this ministration they glorify God for your professed subjection unto the gospel of Christ, and for your liberal distribution unto them, and unto all men;
14 And by their prayer for you, which long after you for the exceeding grace of God in you.
15 Thanks be unto God for his unspeakable gift.
MEMORY VERSE: “Thou shalt surely give him, and thine heart shall not be grieved when thou givest unto him: because that for this thing the Lord thy God shall bless thee in all thy works, and in all that thou puttest thine hand unto.” – Deuteronomy 15:10

PROPHETIC WORD FOR TODAY:I PROPHESY THAT THIS YEAR, YOU WILL GIVE BIBLICALLY AND BE BLESSED TREMENDOUSLY, IN THE NAME OF JESUS.
MFM Devotional For Today 2023 MESSAGE:
Surely, God rewards faithful givers in His kingdom. However, it is common to hear some believers say that they give but do not get rewards for their giving. The truth is that the kingdom of God is run by principles and laws. Therefore, giving in God’s kingdom does not automatically guarantee reward. If your giving is not in line with the standards of the Bible, it will not yield the rewards or results that you desire. Many give offering but not in obedience to the Bible standard. Many give first fruit but violate God’s command in doing so. Many pay tithe but follow their discretion, whims and caprices, rather than God’s rules on tithing. Each of these givers or payers expects rewards and they blame God when they do not get their expected results.

Do you want God to remember and reward your giving handsomely? Here are the steps you should take to guarantee that. First, you (the giver) must be saved and living in the will of God. Your prayer, tithe and first fruit will rise to God as a sweet smelling sacrifice; He will accept as well as reward them. So, you should first give your life to Jesus, become a member of His kingdom and a citizen of heaven.
Second, you must get rid of iniquity in your life. Job 22:23-25 makes this clear: ‘If thou return to the Almighty, thou shalt put away iniquity far from thy tabernacles. Then shalt thou lay up gold as dust, and the gold of Ophir as the brooks. Yea, the Almighty shall be thy defence, and thou shalt have plenty of silver.’ This passage enjoins that you (1) Repent and return to God if you have sinned or wandered away from Him. When you do this, He will lift and build you up. (2). Put away iniquity far from your life – be holy, walk with God and be perfect. The result is that your giving will be acceptable, you will have gold as dust and plenty of silver (stupendous or untold wealth), and God will be your defence.
