" Nope, It Is Not In Vain"
(1 of 5)
It is truly amazing how large existences spring from such very tiny beginnings.
This applies in every area of our lives; people and animals evolving from sperm cells, endearing relationships and
marriages developing from casual introductions, huge arguments igniting from one insensitive word, etc.
James 3:5-...a tiny spark can set a great forest on fire.
Large and majestic oak trees originate from very small seeds.
How often do we forget this very simple truth: that if we plant seeds, we can grow trees!!
Just as we "give" seed into the ground to receive back multiplied seeds, so it is with everything we give.
Whether it is money, possessions, emotions such as love or hate, prayers, o r our time, we will reap a harvest on whatever we give.
We reap exactly what we sow (Galatians 6:7-8), and we receive proportional to the same measure that we give.
"He which soweth sparingly shall reap also sparingly; and he which soweth bountifully shall reap also bountifully" (2Co 9:6).
(NLT- You will always harvest what you plant.). (A.Wommack Ministries).

"Nope, It Is Not In Vain" (2 of 5)
If we plant seeds of kindness to others, we will grow trees of thankfulness and blessings both from them and from God for allowing God to use us to "minister" to them.
Each time we sacrifice our time, efforts, smiles, words, finances and other resources for the enrichment and blessing of others;
Daddy-God takes note and rewards us.
Even if it is not the same people we have extended kindnesses to, Daddy-God uses others to sow back into our lives for the good deeds we have done.
Daddy-God does not penalize us or cancel His principle of blessing us when our acts of kindnesses are not appreciated or accepted by others
We don't have to insist that others accept our offers of good deeds so that we won't miss our blessings.
We must just have a sincere desire and willingness to do or give whether it is accepted or not; for Daddy-God deals with and rewards us individually.
That truth gives us the motivation to refocus and to recommit to continue doing acts of kindnesses even when we have been wounded or rejected.

"Nope, It Is Not In Vain" (3 of 5)
How many times have we witnessed the truth of Luke 6:38- Give, and you will receive.
Your gift will return to you in full-pressed down, shaken together to make room for more, running over, and poured into your lap.
The amount of time, resources and other kindnesses which we give will determine the amount we get back.
"Jesus' followers must be generous. We must be known among men as givers rather than judges.
Boundless generosity, limitless kindness to all, saint and sinner-that is what He, the Master, would press home to those who would follow His lead.
Men would find out in time what generous friends they were, and would in their turn freely give to them." (Pulpit Commentary).
|
"Nope, It Is Not In Vain" (4 of 4)
Give liberally of your worldly substance to needy persons as you have an opportunity, according to your ability, and
as cases require: and it shall be returned again to great advantage; with great rewards." (Gill Commentary).
So family, we don't lose or lessen our resources when we give, but only increase them.
We don't go unnoticed by our Heavenly Father when we extend ourselves to others because we are told in
Proverbs 19:17-NIV-Whoever is kind to the poor lends to the LORD, and He will reward them for what they have done.
|
"Nope, It Is Not In Vain" (5 of 5)
"What is given to the poor (those lacking in any area), or done for them, God will place it to account as lent to Him, lent upon interest (so the word signifies); He takes it kindly, as if it were done to Himself, ... A very rich reward shall be made for it: He will pay him again, in temporal, spiritual, and eternal blessings. Almsgiving is the surest and safest way of thriving." (Matthew Henry) Our kind actions are neither done in vain nor unrewarding-Proverbs 11:17- Your kindness will reward you, but your cruelty will destroy you. Remember, we benefit ourselves by doing well to others while the cruel injure themselves as well as others. (Fausset)

Words from the Heart!
I love you!!!!! Dr. Tonya D. Lewis! XOXO you are looking Fabulous !!!!! J J C
Thank you so much, this is such a blessing. I so desperately needed the song: Lord, I surrender! I couldn't get a breakthrough in Prayer until I listen to that song over and over again. I'm desperately crying out to God, for His guidance but all I can remember, is The Lord told me to keep my focus in Sunday School. Thank you again and please keep me in Prayer. Expecting a great move of God in my life. J S
Hi Dr. Lewis, Hope all is well with you. I just want you to know that I truly enjoy the One Faith Fellowship newsletter. The articles are awesome and so is the music. When my life gets back to 'normal', I plan to participate in some of the activities and events. May God continue to bless your ministry! J F
