GIVING (SPOKENWORD)

 Two Christians walk to the altar to pray and give their offering


Stanley: Father in the name of Jesus, I come to you boldly, for your word says in

Hebrews 4:16, Let us therefore come boldly to the throne of grace, that we may obtain

mercy and find grace to help in time of need. FATHER, I NEED MONEY!..I have given

to you saaaaa. I beg o I want the good measure , you’re delaying and things are not going

well. Please hurry up small. AMEN!!!


Myers: My Father in heaven, I thank you for my life and how far you’ve brought me. I

thank you for life’s ultimate privilege, the privilege of knowing you through Jesus

Christ, the privilege of being part of your children. Father as I give this offering, I thank

you for all that you’ve done for me and I commit all that I need into your hands. Let your

will be done in Jesus’ name…Amen


Stanley: Complain and laments for a while…..

Herhhhhh this economy is not doing well at all

This economy has left me in distress

I mean see this ‘stress' I’m going through

It has even affected my medulla oblongata

I check left, right , left again even before I cross a gutter

My wife, Alice thinks we are living in a wonderland

She probably thinks this economy is a program you can easily study on this land, HUH “

Land economy”

She doesn’t believe me when I say, there’s no money

Charley the money is not coming

Sika nu enba

3y3 gari koraaa anka enba’

I have to even change this phone,

Even with my LG life is still not good .

(A lil pause and remembers something)

Ahuhah

Thank you Holy Spirit

Doesn’t the bible say in Luke 6:38, Give and it shall be given unto you, my favorite

verse ( in excitement)

Good measure, Oh Lord make me the ruler over my finances.

Pressed down, shaken together and running over, shall men give unto my bosom (

personalized)..


Oohhhhhhhh ahhhhh ( in worry ) ..

The extended family is coming tonight, they always

“Rush” here like “Ford” with no speed limits

No matter how united we are, my family can’t keep serving them every time they come .

(Looks up )

You see God that’s why you should give me money

So I can take care of the people, my family and keep some for my pockets. Or you want

me to be a pick pocket


Myers: Hold on…hold on my brother(Stands to the congregation)

This is the problem of most Christians of today Let us

not think that God owes us because He doesn’t!

Let’s understand that everywhere we go, He’ll be quick to come through for us if the

need be…like MTN’s “quikloan”

Because our debts have been cleared, let us live with the mentality that we owe God

instead…now what do we owe God?

We owe God our lives

We owe God everything we have

We owe God a life of purity

We owe God a holy life, which is a nature He has given to us through His son Jesus,

according to Ephesians 1:4 and 5

We owe God the Great Commission as we’ve been sent to proclaim the gospel even to

the ends of the earth

We owe God tithe as His word teaches us that we should bring all the tithes into the

storehouse, that there may be food in His house according to Malachi 3:10-12 It is by

doing this that if the devil takes you to the law court to plead saying “My Lord My

Lord”, you shoot 3-pointers in his court saying “I'm saved and I'm free”…like a

point guard.


(Goes back to sit down with Stanley)



Myers: My brother…are you ready to push the kingdom of the one who has saved you?

Like a Force are you ready to do a “new thing”(Newton) for him

Always bear in mind that all that you have is from God and not the other way round

This was what Abraham understood in Genesis 22 that he was willing to give his son

Isaac back to God


Hannah understood this and made a vow to God in 1 Samuel 1:11 that she will give her

son back to the Lord all the days of his life. 

The ultimate example is God Himself sending his Son Jesus to come and die for our sins

according to John 3:16…you and I who had no hope yet felt we were dope even without

soap.

This is the God whose kingdom we are here to push with our substances, our money.
