A GIVER IS A GIVER NOT A KEEPER!
(A giver gives more than he keeps!)
In as much as the human body is prone to attack from sicknesses and diseases especially when hygiene and health precautions are ignored, the human spirit is similarly prone to attack from spiritual sicknesses and spiritual diseases theologically referred to as demonic possession!
Demons and satanic agents attack undecided undiscerning believers in many ways.
Below are subtle ways many unsuspecting christian believers unknowingly succumb to demonic oppressions due to their own ignorance!
1. Early this year God blessed the work of your hand and you managed to secure yourself and your family with a nice family car. The asset has been of great service to everyone in your family such that of late you have been harbouring thoughts of buying another car similar to the other one in your garage, but only this time you want to get one that has American wheels. To you this is what everyone is driving, the american wheel type! You are willing to secure a loan just to purchase this car but in real essence you are suffering from an ungodly desire for more possessions and more this more that!
Beloved, this type spiritual suffering and spiritual sorrow is not from God.
The blessing of the Lord makes one rich and it adds no sorrow to it.
Why would you buy a second car, a third car and probably a fourth car, flaunt them all in your garage yet there are some supposedly mutual friends of yours in your “inner circle” who don’t even own a motorbike let alone a car.
Don’t be busy planning to buy a car “with money that you don’t have, to please a neighborhood who’s inhabitants you hardly love just to always keep in the garage..due to high maintenance..which eventually will not be serving the need you had in the first place.” He who has an ear let him hear what The Spirit is saying today!
In as much as God calls us into a life of complete abundance and prosperity, His nature should remain in us. God loves a cheerful giver because by nature God is a giver. (See John 3: 16. For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son, that whoever believes in Him should not perish but have everlasting life.)
In as much as we are expected to embrace a rich mentality, it is so that we be a channel where God will “flow” through!
There’s nothing wrong if you own numerous items while at the same time you use your blessings to touch numerous lives.
A giver is a giver, not a keeper!
We are blessed so as to bless others. Keeping (withholding) the blessing that God gives you is embracing the wrong attitude that you are better than your Employer, or you are better than your Gym trainer, Gym Instructor, or you are better than your Teacher or Master Who in this case is God your sole Creator!
Perfect love brings “deliverance” from demonic oppressions and demonic torment where in this case the oppressions and torment in a christian’s is the pride of life that comes when he begins to adore the gifts that God gives him and on the other hand he’s busy abhorring God his Source and Giver!
“Don’t allow mere things marked by mortal man in the name of logos and brand names cause you to miss the mark that God has ordained in you!” @christinekimaita
“Love has been perfected among us in this: that we may have boldness in the day of judgment; because as He is, so are we in this world.”
“There is no fear in love; but perfect love casts out fear, because fear involves torment.”
“But he who fears has not been made perfect in love.”
“We love Him because He first loved us.”
2. As a wife, a mother and an employer, your husband gifted you with a beautiful wardrobe. In fact you have such a big beautiful wardrobe that it doesn’t fit all your Turkey suits and China Manufactured clothing. In other words, every member of your merry go round group knows you as the woman who dresses expensively, and dresses her children in a similar standard. You are a true admiration among other women. However you are lacking in one subtle way, the last time you gifted your house help expensively was when you bought her a mobile device which in all essence was so that you maintain communication whenever you are away from your house. As if not enough, you went ahead and deducted from her salary that phone’s purchase!
With all your Turkey suits overflowing in your wardrobe, you hardly know what to wear to where and how to wear to where and when to wear to where!
You are in constant mind battles within yourself whenever you want to dress up.
One minute you want to dress modestly as a mother the next minute another voice cries that you need to dress sexy to save your marriage!
Beloved, this type of spiritual suffering and spiritual sorrow is not from God.
The blessing of the Lord makes one rich and it adds no sorrow to it.
Why would you buy a second Turkey suit, import another expensive dress from China and probably order a designer handbag accessorial from Germany, flaunt them all in your wardrobe yet there are some supposedly mutual friends of yours in your “inner circle” who don’t even own a single Turkey suit let alone a designer collection.
There’s nothing wrong if you own numerous items while at the same time you use your blessings to touch numerous lives.
A giver is a giver, not a keeper!
We are called into a life of abundance, abundant in love for others just like God loves us…
“No one has seen God at any time. If we love one another, God abides in us, and His love has been perfected in us.”
“By this we know that we abide in Him, and He in us, because He has given us of His Spirit.”
“And we have seen and testify that the Father has sent the Son as Savior of the world.
Whoever confesses that Jesus is the Son of God, God abides in him, and he in God.”
“And we have known and believed the love that God has for us. God is love, and he who abides in love abides in God, and God in him.”
“
We are called into a life of abundance, abundant in kindness …
“Let all bitterness, wrath, anger, clamor, and evil speaking be put away from you, with all malice.
And be kind to one another, tenderhearted, forgiving one another, even as God in Christ forgave you.”
We are called into a life of abundance, abundant in peace and patience with fellow man..
“Flee also youthful lusts; but pursue righteousness, faith, love, peace with those who call on the Lord out of a pure heart.
But avoid foolish and ignorant disputes, knowing that they generate strife.
And a servant of the Lord must not quarrel but be gentle to all, able to teach, patient,
in humility correcting those who are in opposition, if God perhaps will grant them repentance, so that they may know the truth, and that they may come to their senses and escape the snare of the devil, having been taken captive by him to do his will.”
SUMMARY;
A Giver is a giver, not a keeper!
A Giver Vs. A Keeper
1. A giver is a lover. 1. A keeper is a liar
2. A giver is patient. 2. A keeper is always a receiver
“If someone says, “I love God,” and hates his brother, he is a liar; for he who does not love his brother whom he has seen, how can he love God whom he has not seen?”
The minute you realise that you own something that you can do away with for a long period of time, humbly accept that it is your call to love your brother!. Love is a doing Word!
Love is a good lifestyle!
“And this commandment we have from Him: that he who loves God must love his brother also.”
