LET’S KILL THAT SELFISHNESS TODAY WITH UNSPEAKABLE JOY

LET’S KILL THAT SIELFISHNESS TODAY WITH UNSPEAKABLE JOY: LET’S MAKE THE SPIRIT OF GIVING – RULE THE DAY IN OUR WORLDS FOR OTHERS JOY! 

“Wherein ye greatly rejoice, though now for a season, if need be, ye are in heaviness through manifold temptations: 7 that the trial of your faith, being much more precious than of gold that perisheth, though it be tried with fire, might be found unto praise and honour and glory at the appearing of Jesus Christ: 8 whom having not seen, ye love; in whom, though now ye see him not, yet believing, ye rejoice with JOY UNSPEAKABLE and full of glory: 9 receiving the end of your faith, even the salvation of your souls” 1 Peter 1:6-9. 

I know sometimes it’s difficult to be out there for someone else when you are going through some personal challenges that are overwhelming too. 

But I have come to know and understand by God in Christ Jesus, that an exceeding great JOY — the unspeakable, indescribable, and immeasurable joy — is experienced in the loving act of GIVING FIRST to others, before our trinity self which I call — I, Me, and Myself, otherwise ascribed sometimes as the me, me, and me. 

For it takes the desire to extend that unspeakable joy to others to kill the spirit of selfishness and self-centred lifestyle. 

Living a selfless life toward God and man in Christ Jesus’ stead is the only way to bear along others’ burdens by the incredible opportunity that we may have that others don’t have. 

Life is about sharing the good and goodness with others who are vulnerable and limited in life resources — with our abundance, or even the so-called little we have, as the biblical widow’s mite, we’ve all heard or read about. 

“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” Acts 20:35. 

“And Jesus sat over against the treasury, and beheld how the people cast money into the treasury: and many that were RICH cast in much. 42 And there came a certain POOR widow, and she threw in two mites, which make a farthing. 43 And he called unto him his disciples, and saith unto them, Verily I say unto you, That this POOR WIDOW hath cast MORE in, than all they which have cast into the treasury: 44 for all they did cast in of their ABUNDANCE; but she of her WANT did cast in all that she had, even all her living” Mark 12:41-44 [Luke 21:1-4]. 

The word JOY to me means J for JESUS — as the first, O for OTHERS as the next, and Y for YOURSELF as the last. 

And I’ve found JOY indescribable and absolutely thrilling ever since I have learnt this act in my doing life and living godly in Christ Jesus’ stead through the years. 

And I highly recommend its application to you without prejudice, sentiments, and dissimulation, and it’s irrespective of whoever and whatever. 

For the act of love and loving is embedded in the spirit of GIVING to others first. Hence, God so loved that He GAVE first and the best — not leftovers and rejects. 

That’s how to kill the selfishness and selfish spirit in you and about you, in order to make love purposeful, meaningful, and fulfilling. 

“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” John 3:16. 

Therefore, TODAY, while and when it is called TODAY, think about what GOOD and GOODNESS that is in you in terms of – TIME, EFFORT, FINANCE, MATERIAL – that you can GIVE to make a huge and great difference in someone else’s life without complaining and murmuring. That’s what love and loving is all about – in giving to someone else first, before the you-self trinity within. Endeavour to give it a go today and even now. 

As said earlier, the fulness of JOY can be attributed as pleasing JESUS and OTHERS, then YOURSELF. Meaning preferring in this order as said FIRST [J] – Jesus and Second [O] – Others and before You [Y] – Yourself. 

The exceeding great JOY of God is of the heart, born in the human spirit of love and loving. Therefore, put an end to SELFISHNESS – and start LOVING, start GIVING today and even now as an ONWARD and UPWARD trajectory in Christ Jesus’ stead. Amen. 

“And hope maketh not ashamed; because the LOVE of God is shed abroad in our hearts by the Holy Ghost which is given unto us . . . 8 But God commendeth His LOVE toward us, in that, while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us” Romans 5:5, 8. 

I do pray that you may experience the exceeding great and fulness of God’s joy today as you express your acts of love and loving in the GIVING-FIRST spirit today. 

SELAH – PAUSE AND THINK! 

SCRIPTURAL THOUGHTS WORTH PONDERING IN CONTEXT: 

“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” John 3:16. 

“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” Luke 6:38. 

“Thou wilt shew me the PATH OF LIFE: in thy presence is FULNESS OF JOY; at thy right hand there are pleasures for evermore” Psalms 16:11 

“When they saw the star, they REJOICED with EXCEEDING GREAT JOY” Matthew 2:10. 

“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” Acts 20:35. 

“The DESIRE of the RIGHTEOUS is only GOOD: but the EXPECTATION of the WICKED is WRATH. 24 There is that SCATTERETH, and yet INCREASETH; and there is that WITHHOLDETH more than is meet, but it TENDETH to POVERTY. 25 The LIBERAL soul shall be MADE fat: and he that WATERETH shall be WATERED also himself” Proverbs 11:23-25. 

SUMMARY: 

The message tells us that Selfishness dies when we choose to GIVE first. The spirit of GIVING rules our world and births UNSPEAKABLE JOY — the kind of JOY that puts JESUS first, OTHERS next, YOURSELF last. Today is the day to stop complaining and start LOVING through giving. 
Acts 20:35 — “IT IS MORE BLESSED TO GIVE THAN TO RECEIVE” 

KEY POINTS: 

  1. JOY IS FOUND IN GIVING FIRST
    The exceedinggreat JOY — unspeakable, indescribable, and immeasurable — is experienced in the act of GIVING to others first, before the “I, Me, and Myself” trinity. 
    1 Peter 1:8 — We rejoice with JOY UNSPEAKABLE and full of glory even in trials, as our faith is tested. 
    Psalms 16:11 — In God’s presence is FULNESS OF JOY. 
  1. KILL SELFISHNESS WITH A GIVING SPIRIT
    It takes the desire to extend joy to others to kill the spirit of selfishness andself-centred lifestyle. 
    Living a selfless life toward God and man in Christ Jesus’ stead is how we bear others’ burdens. 
    God set the example: John 3:16 — “For God so LOVED the WORLD that He GAVE His only begotten Son” — He gave His best, not leftovers. 
  1. GIVE WHETHER ABUNDANCE OR “WIDOW’S MITE“
    Life is about sharing the good and goodness with the vulnerable and those limited in resources.
    Mark 12:41-44 — The poor widow gave more than the rich, because she gave out of her want — all she had. 
    Proverbs 11:24-25 — “There is that SCATTERETH, and yet INCREASETH… The LIBERAL soul shall be MADE fat.” 
    Luke 6:38 — “GIVE, and it shall be GIVEN unto you; GOOD MEASURE, pressed down, and shaken together…” 
  1. THE J-O-Y PRINCIPLE
    JOY = Jesus first, Others next, Yourself last.
    The fulness of JOY is attributed to pleasing JESUS and OTHERS, then YOURSELF. 
    This order makes love purposeful, meaningful, and fulfilling. 

CALL TO ACTION: 

  • Examine your “WHATEVER” — What can you give today? 
  • Reject Selfishness — Choose the “you-self trinity” last. 
  • Give First — Like God did. Like the widow did. 
  • Expect Joy — Unspeakable joy comes when you bless others first. 
  • Live J-O-Y — Jesus, Others, Yourself. 

Final Word: 

Let’s make the SPIRIT OF GIVING rule the day in our worlds for OTHERS’ JOY. When we kill selfishness with giving, we experience the exceeding great JOY of God. IT IS MORE BLESSED TO GIVE THAN TO RECEIVE

OCCUPY TILL I COME IN GIVING

OCCUPY TILL I COME IN GIVING: FOR GOD’S LOVED-WORLD IS A GIVING WORLD! 

“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” John 3:16. 

God’s LOVED-WORLD is an awesome world of LOVE – therefore, don’t be SELFISH about it. To many, the opposite of LOVE may be HATE or HATRED. On the contrary, in God’s scriptural kingdom, LOVE’S opposite is SELFISHNESS – being selfish, covetous, hoarding and greedy. 

“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” Luke 6:38. 

The LOVED-WORLD of God is made to be liveable, likeable, loveable and enjoyable because of the act of GIVING that takes place every now and then. For example, the plants GIVE out oxygen to RECEIVE or TAKE IN carbon dioxide for their photosynthesis. In same scenario are humans and all living creation. We GIVE out carbon dioxide and TAKE IN oxygen to keep our human body alive and life in check. This cycle keeps life going every day. It is a GIVING world; hence it is LOVED-WORLD, and it is LIKEABLE, LIVEABLE, LOVEABLE, REACHABLE, INDESCRIBABLE and ENJOYABLE  

God so LOVED, He GAVE! Genuine LOVE GIVES. Where God’s LOVE is, GIVING goes along. Giving could be in the form of giving once TIME, FINANCE, PHYSIQUE (STRENGTH), TALENT/SKILL, PROTECTION [DEFEND], VISITATION, MATERIAL GIFT, SPIRITUAL CARE and such likes and MORE, to the needy and vulnerable ONE especially. To authenticate and ensure that God’s LOVE that saves us from sin keeps abounding in us by grace, our Father God abundantly and lavishly GAVE us the Holy Spirit of LOVE, to ensure that the DNA of love is embedded in us as default to live and do life in love. Thus, indicating that everyone born of God in Christ Jesus is carrying the default of love, irrespective of circumstances, except the individual chooses and decides to live otherwise against the true being in Christ Jesus’ stead. 

“Such hope [in God’s promises] never disappoints us, because God’s LOVE has been ABUNDANTLY POURED out within OUR HEARTS through the Holy Spirit who was GIVEN to us . . . 8 But God clearly shows and proves His own LOVE for us, by the fact that while we were STILL SINNERS, Christ DIED for us” Romans 5:5, 8/Amplified. 

It is MORE BLESSED to GIVE than to RECEIVE, for givers NEVER go down no matter what. This I know so well. Hence you see that the hand of the giver is always above and over the recipient’s hands to receive. That is the kingdom principle which also works in the natural world. Make yourself a living giver today, propelled by love and not by pride and arrogance, nor by sentiments, prejudice and dissimulation. 

Therefore, do a self-check and be a GIVER today: For God’s LOVED world is a GIVING world – and our passion to help people when they are falling should outweigh our intent to crucify them when they fall – THERE’S NO ROOM FOR SELFISHNESS, HOARDING AND WITHHOLDING to enjoy the unspeakable gift of joy of God that’s in Christ Jesus stead. 

SCRIPTURAL THOUGHTS WORTH PONDERING IN CONTEXT: 

“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” John 3:16. 

“I have shown you in every way, by labouring like this, that you must support the weak. And remember the words of the Lord Jesus, that He said, ‘IT IS MORE BLESSED TO GIVE THAN TO RECIEVE” Acts 20:35. 

“There is that SCATTERETH, and yet INCREASETH; and there is that WITHHOLDETH more than is meet, but it tendeth to POVERTY. 25 The LIBERAL soul shall be MADE fat: and he that WATERETH shall be WATERED also himself. 26 He that WITHHOLDETH corn, the people shall CURSE him: but BLESSING shall be upon the HEAD of him that SELLETH it” Proverbs 11:24-26. 

“For God is not UNJUST so as to FORGET your WORK and the LOVE which you have SHOWN for His name in MINISTERING to [the needs of] the saints (God’s people), as you do. 11 And we desire for each one of you to SHOW the same DILIGENCE [all the way through] so as to realize and enjoy the full assurance of hope until the end, 12 so that you will not be [spiritually] sluggish, but [will instead be] IMITATORS of those who through faith [lean on God with absolute trust and confidence in Him and in His power] and by patient endurance [even when suffering] are [now] INHERITING the promises” Hebrews 6:10-12 (Amplified). 

SUMMARY: 

Central Thesis: God designed the world and His kingdom to operate by love expressed through giving. Selfishness, hoarding, and withholding are the true opposites of love and block both natural and kingdom blessing. Every believer carries a default of love by the Holy Spirit and is called to live as a giver — in time, strength, resources, and compassion — because “it is more blessed to give than to receive.” 

  1. Kingdom Mandate: Occupy by Giving

The exhortation opens with Luke 19:13 — “Occupy till I come” — but reframes it as “Occupy till I come in giving.” John 3:16 anchors the entire message: “For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son.” God’s nature is love, and love proves itself by giving. Therefore, God’s world is a “loved world” and a “giving world” by design. 

  1. Doctrinal Correction: Love’s True Opposite

Culturally, people assume love’s opposite is hate or hatred. The message corrects this biblically: In God’s scriptural kingdom, love’s opposite is selfishness — manifested as being selfish, covetous, hoarding, and greedy. 1 Corinthians 13:5 underlies this: “love seeketh not her own.” Selfishness is the anti-kingdom posture; hate is the fruit, but selfishness is the root. 

  1. Natural Law Confirms Kingdom Law: The Cycle of Giving

Creation itself illustrates the principle. Plants give oxygen and take in carbon dioxide; humans do the reverse. This cycle keeps life going daily. The world is “liveable, likeable, loveable, reachable, indescribable and enjoyable” because giving and receiving are built into it. Luke 6:38 is cited: “Give, and it shall be given unto you… with the same measure that ye mete withal it shall be measured to you again.” What works in nature is also kingdom principle. 

  1. The Default of Love in Every Believer

Romans 5:5, 8 explains how: God saved us by love, then abundantly poured His love into our hearts through the Holy Spirit who was given to us. This embeds the “DNA of love” as default in everyone born of God in Christ Jesus. Therefore every believer carries the capacity for love irrespective of circumstance, unless they choose to live contrary to their true being in Christ. Genuine love gives — it is not theoretical. 

  1. Forms of Giving + Attitude of Giving

Giving is broad: time, finance, physique/strength, talent/skill, protection/defense, visitation, material gift, spiritual care, and more — especially to the needy and vulnerable. The attitude matters: be propelled by love, not by pride, arrogance, sentiments, prejudice, or dissimulation. Acts 20:35 is quoted: “It is more blessed to give than to receive.” The giver’s hand is always above the recipient’s hand. Proverbs 11:24-26 confirms: the liberal soul shall be made fat; he that watereth shall be watered himself, while withholding leads to poverty and curse. 

  1. Compassion Over Condemnation: No Room for Selfishness

The writer confronts a critical heart issue: our passion to help people when they are falling should outweigh our intent to crucify them when they fall. There is no room for selfishness, hoarding, and withholding if we want to enjoy the “unspeakable gift of joy of God that is in Christ Jesus’ stead” 2 Corinthians 9:15. Hebrews 6:10-12 reinforces: God does not forget work and love shown in ministering to His people. We are called to diligence and to imitate those who inherit promises through faith and patience. 

Key Scriptures Anchoring the Message 

  • John 3:16: God’s love is proven by giving His Son 
  • Luke 6:38: Giving/receiving law of measure 
  • Romans 5:5, 8: Love of God poured into hearts by Holy Spirit; Christ died for us while sinners 
  • Acts 20:35: It is more blessed to give than to receive 
  • Proverbs 11:24-26: Liberal soul made fat; withholding leads to poverty 
  • Hebrews 6:10-12: God remembers ministering in love; imitate faith and patience 

Tone & Call to Action 

Tone: Urgent, weighty, doctrinal, and corrective. It is both teaching and exhortation. 
Call: Do a self-check. Reject selfishness, covetousness, hoarding, greed. Choose to be a “living giver” today because God’s loved-world operates on giving. 

In one sentence: The message declares that because God is love and He gave His Son, His world and kingdom function by giving; therefore, believers must reject selfishness as love’s true opposite, embrace the Holy Spirit’s embedded default of love, and occupy their lives as givers in every form, knowing giving is the blessed kingdom principle that keeps one above.

START-UP YOUR DAWN YEAR LIFESTYLE WITH A GIVING HEARTS MARK

By Leave a Comment

START-UP YOUR DAWN YEAR LIFESTYLE WITH A GIVING HEARTS MARK: BE HUMANE TO GIVE WISELY OF YOUR – TIME, MONEY, MATERIAL AND EFFORT [TALENT/SKILL] – TOWARD A GIVEN CAUSE! 

“For God SO LOVED the WORLD, that He GAVE His only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in Him should not perish, but have everlasting life” John 3:16. 

“GIVING HAVE NOTHING TO DO WITH BEEN – RICH OR POOR. KNOW FOR SURE AND CERTAINTY THAT THE POOR DON’T GIVE, NEITHER DOES THE RICH GIVE – IT’S ONLY THE GIVERS [POOR OR RICH] THAT GIVES” Chukie MORSI Snr. 

Begin the dawn YEAR with a giving note – not every opportunity in life should ALWAYS be of monetary and self-centered gains for self-egotism and applaud. One most important act I want you to know in order to be established with the Scriptural Kingdom cause of God, especially to us as Believers of God in Christ Jesus, and among the LIVING, is to be GIVERS. 

GIVING HAVE NOTHING TO DO WITH BEEN RICH OR POOR. YOU NEED TO KNOW THAT THE POOR DON’T GIVE, THE RICH DON’T GIVE – ONLY GIVERS GIVES; just as the scriptural giver WIDOW whose giving was Scripturally ascribed in the Holy writ as the widow mite – which was observed and acknowledged before Christ Jesus while the self-centred and selfish RICH, who was also ascribed and acknowledged as the RICH FOOL, as observed before Christ Jesus as written in Mark 12:41-44 and Luke 12:13-21.  

You can note now that only GIVERS as the Widow of the widow’s mite, that GIVES, because they know and understand the implication and dividend of GRACE and BLESSEDNESS in giving before God in Christ Jesus stead – without prejudice, sentiments and dissimulation. 

“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” Luke 6:38. 

“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” Acts 20:35. 

The POSSIBILITIES OF GOD in us, is a default lifestyle that requires the spirited and heartedness of a GIVING spirit of our TIME, EFFORT, MATERIAL and FINANCE to ANOTHER – for the good of others, in a healthy kingdom CAUSE; and this is an ACT of a good will and not a WISH. Hence PERFORMANCE of the WILLING heart is imperative and fundamental to all who calls God’s name in Christ Jesus stead. 

“And herein I give MY ADVICE: for this is EXPEDIENT for you, who have begun before, not only to do, but also to be forward a year ago. 11 Now therefore PERFORM the DOING of it; that as there was a READINESS TO WILL, so there may be a PERFORMANCE also out of that WHICH YE HAVE. 12 For if there be first a WILLING mind, it is ACCEPTED according to that a man HATH, and not according to that he HATH NOT” 2 Corinthians 8:10-12. 

Let’s do an analysis as an example to explain this line of context: Show me a nation, community, family and individual who is committed to giving to OTHERS and other cause beyond themselves and boundaries when it comes to their TIME, MONEY (FINANCE) and EFFORT (Physical and Mental Exertion) by an act of LOVE, HOPE and FAITH, I will show you why such has PROSPERED and KEEP PROSPERING in comparison to the one that has been stingy, complaining, arguing, always taking and collecting as if it’s an entitlement while blaming, murmuring and always receiving (collecting, taking) and UNWILLING to GIVE to others or to any CHARITABLE cause in life because they THINK life is about ENTITLEMENT and not about responsibility and accountability in principle. 

For it’s MORE BLESSED to be a GIVER than a COLLECTOR and TAKER, simply for this reason – the RECEIVER will always be LESSER to the GIVER, that’s a spiritual law that works also in the natural. I learnt that first from my parents, long before I knew it’s equally from the Scriptures and it’s of God in Christ Jesus stead. 

There’s nothing wrong in RECEIVING, but only when you are a CHANNEL vessel to others too and not a DEAD end as an entitlement. A RECEIVER who doesn’t GIVE is like the DEAD SEA that RECEIVES water from many sources and NEVER GIVE out or distribute to other waterways channels. It’s called DEAD SEA because it’s salty and no living creatures are sustained in it. Don’t be a DEAD-END being, like the DEAD SEA, but be a LIVING being that is ALIVE and that BLOSSOM, REFRESHES and REJUVENATES because you are a VESSEL and CHANNEL of GRACE to others and not merely a DISPLAY ORNAMENT. 

I challenge you to arise to SOAR and GLIDE in DOMINION by GIVING, which is – Begin small, from where you are to give TIME, FINANCE (MONEY – Cash/Kind) and EFFORT (Physical and or Mental Exertion) to the cause of others, you will definitely notice the hand of God through others prospering you in God’s grace. 

The Living of the POSSIBILITIES default life as touching PROSPERITY is by GIVING and not by FASTING and PRAYERS. Fasting and prayers have their place in the kingdom. You need to give in HOPE, FAITH and LOVE to unlock your prosperity door; and not necessarily to RECEIVE also from who or those you gave. 

Make your dawn YEAR, your year of LIVING the POSSIBILITIES default life as a GIVER – meaning as an individual, family, community or a nation. Make the GIVING ACT your lifestyle in order to ACTIVATE and ENHANCE the POSSIBILITIES of God within you in Christ Jesus stead. That’s the LIFE that makes and keeps you to be – ABOVE ONLY. 

Take a step today; you will see the heavenly outpour. For God GAVE His Son Jesus Christ to us all, and by His Son GIVING His life, He got us all back again. Learn of HIM by making the GIVING ACT your lifestyle in order to ACTIVATE and ENHANCE – your POSSIBILITIES DEFAULT. 

SELAH – PAUSE AND THINK. 

SCRIPTURAL THOUGHTS WORTH PONDERING IN CONTEXT: 

“And herein I give MY ADVICE: for this is EXPEDIENT for you, who have begun before, not only to do, but also to be forward a year ago. 11 Now therefore PERFORM the DOING of it; that as there was a READINESS TO WILL, so there may be a PERFORMANCE also out of that WHICH YE HAVE. 12 For if there be first a WILLING mind, it is ACCEPTED according to that a man HATH, and not according to that he HATH NOT” 2 Corinthians 8:10-12. 

“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” Luke 6:38. 

“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” Acts 20:35. 

“And Jesus sat over against THE TREASURY, and beheld how the people CAST MONEY INTO THE TREASURY: and many that were RICH cast in much. 42 And there came a certain POOR widow, and she threw in two mites, which make a farthing. 43 And he called unto him his disciples, and saith unto them, Verily I say unto you, That this POOR widow hath CAST MORE in, than all they which have cast into the treasury: 44 for all they did cast in of their ABUNDANCE; but she of her want did cast in ALL that she had, even all her living” Mark 12:41-44. 

“And one of the company said unto him, Master, speak to my brother, that he divide the inheritance with me. 14 And he said unto him, Man, who made me a judge or a divider over you? 15 And he said unto them, Take heed, and BEWARE of COVETOUSNESS: FOR A MAN’S LIFE CONSISTETH NOT IN THE ABUNDANCE OF THE THINGS WHICH HE POSSESSETH. 16 And he spake a parable unto them, saying, The ground of a certain RICH MAN brought forth plentifully: 17 and he thought within himself, saying, What shall I do, because I have no room where to bestow my fruits? 18 And he said, This will I do: I will pull down my barns, and build greater; and there will I bestow all my fruits and my goods. 19 And I will say to my soul, Soul, thou hast much goods laid up for many years; take thine ease, eat, drink, and be merry. 20 But God said unto him, Thou FOOL, this night thy soul shall be required of thee: then whose shall those things be, which thou hast provided? 21 So is he that layeth up treasure for himself, AND IS NOT RICH toward God” Luke 12:13-21. 

Further Scriptural Reading: Philippians 4:14-20; Deuteronomy 15:6; 28:12; Proverbs 28:19-22; Proverbs 22:7, 9; Luke 10:25-37.

OCCUPY TILL I COME IN GIVING: FOR GOD’S LOVED-WORLD IS A GIVING WORLD!

“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” John 3:16.

God’s LOVED-WORLD is an awesome world of LOVE – therefore, don’t be SELFISH about it. To many the opposite of LOVE may be HATE or HATRED. On the contrary, in God’s scriptural kingdom, LOVE opposite is SELFISHNESS – being selfish, covetous, hoarding and greedy.

“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” Luke 6:38.

The LOVED-WORLD of God is made to be liveable, likeable, loveable and enjoyable because of the act of GIVING that takes place every now and then. For example, the plants GIVES out oxygen to RECEIVE or TAKE IN carbon dioxide for their photosynthesis. In same scenario are the humans and all living creation. We GIVE out carbon dioxide and TAKE IN oxygen to keep our human body alive and life in check. This cycle keeps life going every day. It’s a GIVING world; hence it’s LOVED-WORLD and it’s LIKEABLE, LIVEABLE, LOVEABLE, REACHABLE, INDESCRIBABLE and ENJOYABLE

God so LOVE, He GAVE! Genuine LOVE GIVES. Where God’s LOVE is, GIVING goes along. Giving could be in the form of giving once TIME, FINANCE, PHYSIQUE (STRENGTH), TALENT/SKILL, PROTECTION [DEFEND], VISITATION, MATERIAL GIFT, SPIRITUAL CARE and such likes and MORE, to the needy and vulnerable ONE especially. To authenticate and ensure God’s LOVE that saves us from sin keeps abounding in us in the grace, our Father God, abundantly and lavishly GAVE us the Holy Spirit of LOVE, to ensure that the DNA of love default is embedded in us to live and do life in love. Thus, indicating that everyone born of God in Christ Jesus, is carrying a default of love and it’s irrespective, except the individual chooses and decides to live otherwise against the true being in Christ Jesus stead.

“Such hope [in God’s promises] never disappoints us, because God’s LOVE has been ABUNDANTLY POURED out within OUR HEARTS through the Holy Spirit who was GIVEN to us . . . 8 But God clearly shows and proves His own LOVE for us, by the fact that while we were STILL SINNERS, Christ DIED for us” Romans 5:5, 8/Amplified.

It’s MORE BLESSED to GIVE than to RECEIVE, for givers NEVER goes down no matter what, this I know so well; hence you see that the hand of the giver is always above and over the recipient hands to receive; and that’s the kingdom principles which also work in the natural world. Make yourself a living giver today that’s propelled by love and by not in pride and arrogance that’s propelled by sentiments, prejudice and dissimulation.

Therefore, Do a self-check and be a GIVER today: For God’s LOVED world is a GIVING world – and our passion to help people when they are falling should outweigh our intent to crucify them when they fall – THERE’S NO ROOM FOR SELFISHNESS, HOARDING AND WITHHOLDING to enjoy the unspeakable gift of joy of God that’s in Christ Jesus stead.

SCRIPTURAL THOUGHTS WORTH PONDERING IN CONTEXT:

MARK YOUR DAWN YEAR START-UP LIFE STYLE WITH A GIVING HEART

By Leave a Comment

MARK YOUR DAWN YEAR START-UP LIFESTYLE WITH A GIVING HEART: BE HUMANE TO GIVE WISELY OF YOUR – TIME, MONEY, MATERIAL AND EFFORT [TALENT/SKILL] – TOWARD A GIVEN CAUSE!

“For God SO LOVED the WORLD, that He GAVE His only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in Him should not perish, but have everlasting life” John 3:16.

“GIVING HAVE NOTHING TO DO WITH BEEN – RICH OR POOR. KNOW FOR SURE AND CERTAINTY THAT THE POOR DON’T GIVE, NEITHER DOES THE RICH GIVE – IT’S ONLY THE GIVERS [POOR OR RICH] THAT GIVES” Chukie MORSI Snr.

Begin the dawn YEAR with a giving note – not every opportunity in life should ALWAYS be of monetary and self-centred gains for self-egotism and applaud. One most important act I want you to know in order to be established with the Scriptural Kingdom cause of God, especially to us as Believers of God in Christ Jesus, and among the LIVING, is to be GIVERS. GIVING HAVE NOTHING TO DO WITH BEEN RICH OR POOR. YOU NEED TO KNOW THAT THE POOR DON’T GIVE, THE RICH DON’T GIVE –  ONLY GIVERS GIVES; just as the scriptural giver WIDOW whose giving was Scripturally ascribed in the Holy writ as the widow mite – which was observed and acknowledged before Christ Jesus while the self-centred and selfish RICH, who was also ascribed and acknowledged as the RICH FOOL, as observed before Christ Jesus as written in Mark 12:41-44 and Luke 12:13-21. You can note now that only GIVERS as the Widow of the widows mite, that GIVES, because they know and understand the implication and dividend of GRACE and BLESSEDNESS in giving before God in Christ Jesus stead – without prejudice, sentiments and dissimulation.

“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” Luke 6:38.

“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” Acts 20:35.

The POSSIBILITIES OF GOD in us, is a default lifestyle that requires the spirited and heartedness of a GIVING spirit of our TIME, EFFORT, MATERIAL and FINANCE to ANOTHER – for the good of others, in a healthy kingdom CAUSE; and this is an ACT of a good will and not a WISH. Hence PERFORMANCE of the WILLING heart is imperative and fundamental to all who calls God’s name in Christ Jesus stead.

“And herein I give MY ADVICE: for this is EXPEDIENT for you, who have begun before, not only to do, but also to be forward a year ago. 11 Now therefore PERFORM the DOING of it; that as there was a READINESS TO WILL, so there may be a PERFORMANCE also out of that WHICH YE HAVE. 12 For if there be first a WILLING mind, it is ACCEPTED according to that a man HATH, and not according to that he HATH NOT” 2 Corinthians 8:10-12.

Let’s do an analysis as an example to explain this line of context: Show me a nation, community, family and individual who is committed to giving to OTHERS and other cause beyond themselves and boundaries when it comes to their TIME, MONEY (FINANCE) and EFFORT (Physical and Mental Exertion) by an act of LOVE, HOPE and FAITH, I will show you why such has PROSPERED and KEEP PROSPERING in comparison to the one that has been stingy, complaining, arguing, always taking and collecting as if it’s an entitlement while blaming, murmuring and always receiving (collecting, taking) and UNWILLING to GIVE to others or to any CHARITABLE cause in life because they THINK life is about ENTITLEMENT and not about responsibility and accountability in principle.

For it’s MORE BLESSED to be a GIVER than a COLLECTOR and TAKER, simply for this reason – the RECEIVER will always be LESSER to the GIVER, that’s a spiritual law that works also in the natural. I learnt that first from my parents, long before I knew it’s equally from the Scriptures and it’s of God in Christ Jesus stead.

There’s nothing wrong in RECEIVING, but only when you are a CHANNEL vessel to others too and not a DEAD end as an entitlement. A RECEIVER who doesn’t GIVE is like the DEAD SEA that RECEIVES water from many sources and NEVER GIVE out or distribute to other waterways channels. It’s called DEAD SEA because it’s salty and no living creatures are sustained in it. Don’t be a DEAD-END being, as the DEAD SEA, but be a LIVING being that is ALIVE and that BLOSSOM, REFRESHES and REJUVENATES because you are a VESSEL and CHANNEL of grace to others and not a merely display ORNAMENT.

I challenge you to arise to SOAR and GLIDE in DOMINION by GIVING, which is – Begin small, from where you are to give TIME, FINANCE (MONEY – Cash/Kind) and EFFORT (Physical and or Mental Exertion) to the cause of others, you will definitely notice the hand of God through others prospering you in God’s grace.

The Living of the POSSIBILITIES default life as touching PROSPERITY is by GIVING and not by FASTING and PRAYERS. Fasting and prayers have their place in the kingdom. You need to give in HOPE, FAITH and LOVE to unlock your prosperity door; and not necessarily to RECEIVE also from who or those you gave.

Make your dawn YEAR, your year of LIVING the POSSIBILITIES default life as a GIVER – meaning as an individual, family, community or a nation. Make the GIVING ACT your lifestyle in order to ACTIVATE and ENHANCE the POSSIBILITIES of God within you in Christ Jesus stead. That’s the LIFE that makes and keeps you to be – ABOVE ONLY.

Take a step today, you will see the heavenly outpour. For God GAVE His Son Jesus Christ to us all, and by His Son GIVING His life, He got us all back again. Learn of HIM by making the GIVING ACT, your lifestyle in order to ACTIVATE and ENHANCE – your POSSIBILITIES DEFAULT.

SELAH – PAUSE AND THINK.

“And one of the company said unto him, Master, speak to my brother, that he divide the inheritance with me. 14 And he said unto him, Man, who made me a judge or a divider over you? 15 And he said unto them, Take heed, and BEWARE of COVETOUSNESS: FOR A MAN’S LIFE CONSISTETH NOT IN THE ABUNDANCE OF THE THINGS WHICH HE POSSESSETH. 16 And he spake a parable unto them, saying, The ground of a certain RICH MAN brought forth plentifully: 17 and he thought within himself, saying, What shall I do, because I have no room where to bestow my fruits? 18 And he said, This will I do: I will pull down my barns, and build greater; and there will I bestow all my fruits and my goods. 19 And I will say to my soul, Soul, thou hast much goods laid up for many years; take thine ease, eat, drink, and be merry. 20 But God said unto him, Thou FOOL, this night thy soul shall be required of thee: then whose shall those things be, which thou hast provided? 21 So is he that layeth up treasure for himself, AND IS NOT RICH toward God” Luke 12:13-21.

OCCUPY TILL I COME – IN GIVING

OCCUPY TILL I COME – IN GIVING: FOR GOD’S LOVED WORLD – IS A GIVING WORLD!

“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” John 3:16.

God’s LOVED WORLD is an awesome world of LOVE – therefore, don’t be SELFISH about it. To many the opposite of LOVE may be HATE or HATRED. On the contrary, in God’s scriptural kingdom, LOVE’s opposite is SELFISHNESS – being selfish, covetous, hoarding and greedy.

“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” Luke 6:38.

The LOVED-WORLD of God is made to be liveable, likeable, loveable and enjoyable because of the act of GIVING that takes place every now and then. For example, plants GIVES out oxygen to RECEIVE or TAKE IN carbon dioxide for their photosynthesis. In the same scenario are humans and all living creations. We GIVE out carbon dioxide and TAKE IN oxygen to keep our human body alive and to keep life in check. This cycle keeps life going everyday. It’s a GIVING world, hence it’s LOVED-WORLD and it’s LIKEABLE, LIVEABLE, LOVEABLE, REACHABLE, INDESCRIBABLE and ENJOYABLE

God so LOVE, He GAVE. Genuine LOVE GIVES. Where God’s LOVE is, GIVING goes along. Giving could be in the form of once TIME, FINANCE, PHYSIQUE (strength), TALENT, VISITATIONS, MATERIAL GIFT, SPIRITUAL CARE and such like and more to the needy one.

For it’s MORE BLESSED to GIVE than to RECEIVE, for givers NEVER go down no matter what, this I know so well, and that’s the kingdom principles which also work in the natural world. I saw it in my parents as a child and now live experiencing it daily.

“I have shown you in every way, by labouring like this, that you must support the weak. And remember the words of the Lord Jesus, that He said, ‘IT IS MORE BLESSED TO GIVE THAN TO RECIEVE” Acts 20:35.

Therefore, Do a self-check and be a GIVER today: For God’s LOVED world is a GIVING world – and our passion to help people when they are falling should outweigh our intent to crucify them when they fall – THERE’S NO ROOM FOR SELFISHNESS, HOARDING AND WITHHOLDING in order to enjoy the unspeakable gift of God’s given joy that’s in Christ Jesus stead. Amen.

LETS KILL THAT SELFISHNESS TODAY

By Leave a Comment

LETS KILL THAT SELFISHNESS TODAY: LET’S MAKE THE GIVING SPIRIT – RULE THE DAY IN OUR WORLDS!

“Wherein ye greatly rejoice, though now for a season, if need be, ye are in heaviness through manifold temptations: 7 that the trial of your faith, being much more precious than of gold that perisheth, though it be tried with fire, might be found unto praise and honour and glory at the appearing of Jesus Christ: 8 whom having not seen, ye love; in whom, though now ye see him not, yet believing, ye rejoice with JOY UNSPEAKABLE and full of glory: 9 receiving the end of your faith, even the salvation of your souls” 1 Peter 1:6-9.

I know sometimes it’s difficult to be out there for someone else when you are going through some personal challenges that are overwhelming too. But I have come to know and understand by God in Christ Jesus, that an exceeding great JOY – is experience in the love act of GIVING first to others, before the our trinity self which I called – I, Me and Myself, otherwise ascribed sometimes as the me, me and me. The word JOY to me means J for JESUS – as the first, O for OTHERS as the next and Y for YOURSELF as the last. And I’ve found JOY indescribable and absolutely thrilling ever since I have learnt this act in my doing life and living godly in Christ Jesus stead through the years. And I highly recommend it’s application to you without prejudice, sentiments and dissimulation, and it’s irrespective to whoever and whatever.

For the act of love and loving, is embedded in the spirit of GIVING to others first, hence, God so love that He GAVE first and the best, not leftovers and rejects. That’s the how to kill the selfishness and selfish spirit in you and about you, in order to make love purposeful, meaningful and fulfilling.

“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” John 3:16.

Therefore, TODAY, while and when it’s called TODAY, think about what’s that GOOD and GOODNESS of you in terms of – TIME, EFFORT, FINANCE, MATERIAL – that you can GIVE to make a huge and great difference in someone else’s life without complaining and murmuring. That’s what love and loving is all about – in giving to someone else’s first, before the you-self trinity within. Endeavour to give it a go today and even now.

As said earlier, the fulness of JOY can be attributed as pleasing JESUS and OTHERS, then YOURSELF. Meaning preferring in this order as said FIRST [J] – Jesus and Second [O] – Others and before You [Y] – Yourself.

The exceeding great JOY of God is of the hearts, born in human spirit of love and loving. Therefore, put an end to SELFISHNESS – and start LOVING, start GIVING today and even now as an ONWARD and UPWARD trajectory in Christ Jesus stead. Amen.

“And hope maketh not ashamed; because the LOVE of God is shed abroad in our hearts by the Holy Ghost which is given unto us . . . 8 But God commendeth His LOVE toward us, in that, while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us” Romans 5:5, 8.

I do pray that you may experience the exceedingly great and fulness of God’s joy today as you express your acts of love and loving in the GIVING first spirit today.

SELAH – PAUSE AND THINK!

God so LOVE, He GAVE. Genuine LOVE GIVES. Where God’s LOVE is, GIVING goes along. Giving could be in the form of once TIME, FINANCE, PHYSIQUE (strength), TALENT, VISITATIONS, MATERIAL GIFT, SPIRITUAL CARE and such like and more to the needy one.

For it’s MORE BLESSED to GIVE than to RECEIVE, for givers NEVER goes down no matter what, this I know so well; and that’s the kingdom principles which also work in the natural world. I saw it in my parents as a child, and now, do live experiencing it daily.

“I have shown you in every way, by labouring like this, that you must support the weak. And remember the words of the Lord Jesus, that He said, ‘IT IS MORE BLESSED TO GIVE THAN TO RECIEVE” Acts 20:35.

Therefore, Do a self-check and be a GIVER today: For God’s LOVED world is a GIVING world – and our passion to help people when they are falling should outweigh our intent to crucify them when they fall – THERE’S NO ROOM FOR SELFISHNESS, HOARDING AND WITHHOLDING in order to enjoy the unspeakable gift of God’s given joy that’s in Christ Jesus stead. Amen.

SCRIPTURAL THOUGHTS WORTH PONDERING IN CONTEXT:

“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” John 3:16.

“I have shown you in every way, by labouring like this, that you must support the weak. And remember the words of the Lord Jesus, that He said, ‘IT IS MORE BLESSED TO GIVE THAN TO RECIEVE” Acts 20:35.

“There is that SCATTERETH, and yet INCREASETH; and there is that WITHHOLDETH more than is meet, but it tendeth to POVERTY. 25 The LIBERAL soul shall be MADE fat: and he that WATERETH shall be WATERED also himself. 26 He that WITHHOLDETH corn, the people shall CURSE him: but BLESSING shall be upon the HEAD of him that SELLETH it” Proverbs 11:24-26.

“For God is not UNJUST so as to FORGET your WORK and the LOVE which you have SHOWN for His name in MINISTERING to [the needs of] the saints (God’s people), as you do. 11 And we desire for each one of you to SHOW the same DILIGENCE [all the way through] so as to realize and enjoy the full assurance of hope until the end, 12 so that you will not be [spiritually] sluggish, but [will instead be] IMITATORS of those who through faith [lean on God with absolute trust and confidence in Him and in His power] and by patient endurance [even when suffering] are [now] INHERITING the promises” Hebrews 6:10-12 (Amplified).
