TOPIC: What Will I Give unto the Lord?
Praise the Lord Saints! What a blessing it is to write unto you once again in the name of the Lord Jesus Christ. We give all honor and praise unto Him, who gave up the ghost and died on the cross for our sins while we were yet still sinners. We honor all Prophets, Prophetesses, Bishops, Pastors, Mothers, Elders, Evangelists, Teachers, Ministers, Deacons, Saints, and Friends. As I was preparing to write this message unto the Saints, a question came to my mind, “What will I give unto the Lord?” We can’t give the Lord our houses, land, money, or anything that we might have accumulated while living in this earth, because the things we obtained already belong to God. Psalm 24:1-5, The earth is the Lord's, and the fulness thereof; the world, and they that dwell therein. 2) For he hath founded it upon the seas, and established it upon the floods. 3) Who shall ascend into the hill of the Lord? or who shall stand in his holy place? 4) He that hath clean hands, and a pure heart; who hath not lifted up his soul unto vanity, nor sworn deceitfully. 5) He shall receive the blessing from the Lord, and righteousness from the God of his salvation. Acts 20:32-35, And now, brethren, I commend you to God, and to the word of his grace, which is able to build you up, and to give you an inheritance among all them which are sanctified. 33) I have coveted no man's silver, or gold, or apparel. 34) Yea, ye yourselves know, that these hands have ministered unto my necessities, and to them that were with me. 35) I have shewed you all things, how that so labouring ye ought to support the weak, and to remember the words of the Lord Jesus, how he said, It is more blessed to give than to receive. Luke 6:38, Give, and it shall be given unto you; good measure, pressed down, and shaken together, and running over, shall men give into your bosom. For with the same measure that ye mete withal it shall be measured to you again. Matthew 16:24-27, Then said Jesus unto his disciples, If any man will come after me, let him deny himself, and take up his cross, and follow me. 25) For whosoever will save his life shall lose it: and whosoever will lose his life for my sake shall find it. 26) For what is a man profited, if he shall gain the whole world, and lose his own soul? or what shall a man give in exchange for his soul? 27) For the Son of man shall come in the glory of his Father with his angels; and then he shall reward every man according to his works. I Timothy 4:7-12, But refuse profane and old wives' fables, and exercise thyself rather unto godliness. 8) For bodily exercise profiteth little: but godliness is profitable unto all things, having promise of the life that now is, and of that which is to come. 9) This is a faithful saying and worthy of all acceptation. 10) For therefore we both labour and suffer reproach, because we trust in the living God, who is the Saviour of all men, specially of those that believe. 11) These things command and teach. 12) Let no man despise thy youth; but be thou an example of the believers, in word, in conversation, in charity, in spirit, in faith, in purity. II Peter 1:5-10, And beside this, giving all diligence, add to your faith virtue; and to virtue knowledge; 6) And to knowledge temperance; and to temperance patience; and to patience godliness; 7) And to godliness brotherly kindness; and to brotherly kindness charity. 8) For if these things be in you, and abound, they make you that ye shall neither be barren nor unfruitful in the knowledge of our Lord Jesus Christ. 9) But he that lacketh these things is blind, and cannot see afar off, and hath forgotten that he was purged from his old sins. 10) Wherefore the rather, brethren, give diligence to make your calling and election sure: for if ye do these things, ye shall never fall. Acts 2:38-39, Then Peter said unto them, Repent, and be baptized every one of you in the name of Jesus Christ for the remission of sins, and ye shall receive the gift of the Holy Ghost. 39) For the promise is unto you, and to your children, and to all that are afar off, even as many as the Lord our God shall call. We must continue in the faith of our Lord Jesus Christ until the end, that we can say, we pleased God. We must give Him our body as a temple for His Holy Spirit to dwell within. I pray your steadfastness in the Lord. May He bless you mightily.
