SENSITIVE GIVING IS LINKED TO UNUSUAL BREAKTHROUGHS (PART 4)

It is that time of the year that people celebrate the birth of Jesus Christ, rejoice, and exchange gifts. It is also when people remember the poor and the less privileged.

Many around the world will have unusual breakthroughs through sensitive greetings. Do not look at anyone as not needing gifts. Do not think that that person is fine and you don’t need to sow into their lives.

Covid-19 has damaged a lot of people and families financially. Many rich men and women have become poor. Many churches are struggling financially. Businesses are collapsing. Many have lost their jobs and are in debt.

So, financial gifts to those you are led to give to will not be out of place.

I will tell you a touching story. In December 2002, I had just started pastoring a branch of our former church where I served for 15 years. I was working as a lawyer but that month,

I had no income. I was driving a nice Mercedes car and I was dressing well. No one remembered my family in the church except one member who gave me £100.00. It was as if I was given £1000,00. That was all we (my wife, myself and three young children).

relied on that Christmas, a very hard one. So, remember that your pastor as he may be struggling but cannot beg you for a gift.

By being sensitive, you may have unusual breakthroughs like those we read about in the Bible. Remember, your parents, brothers, sisters,

mentors and friends in need. It may not be much and you cannot give to everyone but your little gifts will go a long way. God richly bless you.
