GIVIVNG GOD THE BEST

There is one thing that stood out for King Solomon in the bible and this was the fact that he gave God the best.

What does the best mean?

“of the most excellent or desirable type or quality.”

“to the highest degree”

“that which is the most excellent, outstanding, or desirable.”

“of the highest quality, or being the most suitable, pleasing, or effective type of thing or person”

In order words, giving God our best is giving him the most excellent or desirable per time, or the highest degree of a thing.

This will mean different things for all of us per time but will mean the same thing to God.

Ø Solomon gave the best of materials and even craftsmen in order to build the temple of God according to 2Chronicles.3:10-15.

Ø David, his father gave God one of the best things ever- 2Samuel. 23:15-17

Ø God gave humanity his best in Jesus- John.3:16

Ø When Jesus will teach us about offering in the new testament, he said the woman who gave two very small copper coin gave more than those who gave seemingly substantial things. Mark 12:41-44

44 ”They all gave out of their wealth; but she, out of her poverty, put in everything—all she had to live on.””

Ø What re you giving God? Our best? The best version of ourselves?

May God help us all in Jesus name Amen.

Peace!

Doors Do Open

Have you ever felt like you have exhausted all of your options and you can’t seem to find a way out? Or you know that there is more that can be out of a case you are on? I can’t imagine what the widow whose husband left some debts for her to pay before he died must have gone through. Wait, you think all that happened is all there is. In the sense, you have pressed all your buttons and made all your moves. Knocked all the doors you know and made the calls. You now think its over. You think there’s no way out again? Be there! You seem to have forgotten so quick that God is the one that makes things happen. Look at the widow whose husband left her in debt. She was broke. No money no possession my sons up for sale kindof broke. Her two sons were going to be taken captive to pay for the debts that was on ground. Of course she was devastated. She had no possession to sell to get some money. The only thing she knew to do was to go meet Elisha who her husband served with. ...

Guest Post

Hello people,i've got something new for us today. Its a guest post from a sister from another mother,dated back to sometime in August. I'm sure you'll be blessed in some way.😃.It blessed me. Enjoy the read😘. *******Hi Everyone, It's an awesome privilege to be here sharing with you guys. This blog has been a blessing to me personally and I'm so proud of what Dr Grace 😍is doing here. She invited me to share from my heart and I have been pondering on what to share because I like to avoid situations like this 😃 but God keeps pushing me and breaking my walls. I was at a hangout for young leaders yesterday and it was an awesome time in God's presence with God's people. One thing I've learnt in recent times is the beauty of growing together with power minds chasing after Christ and making an impact in our world for the kingdom. In these days and times, a whole lot is going on and we cannot run this race alone. We need a support system to help us g...

Unusual Stuff

Today, I’m going to share something very unusual of me to share. Its simply what God has placed in my heart to share. Holiness. I’m continually understanding holiness to be a honest walk with God and an openness to do his will regardless of the things that are around. Its simply to be set apart. To be separate. To be distinct. Thus separating ones self from everything that defiles. Its identifying what God would have you do and giving yourself to it. Its allowing God to have his full way in your lifes- that’s like a surrender to God’s way of doing stuff. Malachia.3:3 says And he shall sit as a refiner and purifier of silver: and he shall purify the sons of Levi, and purge them as gold and silver, that they may offer unto the LORD an offering in righteousness. Our heavenly father wants to make us into the persons he would have us be-Holy. Releasing who we are to his style of doing things. When Love calls us to be holy, we can be sure that ...
