Giving, Machaira with Apostle Bennie, Service

EPISODE 866 – DO YOU HAVE THE RIGHT MOTIVE?

CHRIST COMMONWEALTH-COMMUNITY

The Love-Life Agency

Your mark of discipleship is TO CONTINUALLY REMAIN FAITHFUL TO THE WORD (or teaching of Christ). It is not how long you have been a disciple of Jesus, it is how long you will continue to be a disciple of Jesus. Beloved, you must intentionally imbue focus in the teachings of Christ.
Apostle Bennie
Author

Nobody thought of the donkey, it was all about the Lord.

Your joy of service to the Lord should be that He is seen, celebrated, praised, and honoured.

John the Baptist said,

“He must increase in importance, while I must decrease in importance”, John 3:30 (Names of God Bible)

In John 6:1-15, we see a little boy who selflessly gave his lunch to Jesus, and it fed more than 5,000 people. 

The young boy didn’t consider himself. His motive was this:

Jesus needs it, and I will trust Him with it.

The joy of our service and giving to the Lord is for the impact of the Lord in the lives of others.

In 2 Corinthians 12:15, Paul said,

“And for the sake of your souls, I will most gladly spend my money and myself. If I love you more, will you love me less?” (Berean Standard Bible)

From the Message Bible:

” I’d be most happy to empty my pockets, even mortgage my life, for your good. So how does it happen that the more I love you, the less I’m loved?”

Amplified:

“But I will very gladly spend [my own resources] and be utterly spent for your souls. If I love you greatly, am I to be loved less [by you]?”

And then The Passion Translation:

“ I am glad to give you myself and all I have for your spiritual good, even though it seems that the more I love you, the less you love me.”

Beloved, the Lord needs you; avail yourself for His use, not because of your selfish gains.

Be motivated and inspired by His Lordship, His love, and the impact of others.

” People may be pure in their own eyes, but the LORD examines their motives” Proverbs 16:2 (NLT)

Selah.

DIG DEEPER
(John 6:5-13; 2 Corinthians 1:6,14; James 4:3; 1 Samuel 2:3; 16:7; Proverbs 21:2; Philippians 2:20-22; Colossians 3:23)
 
WE PRAY
That we shall increase in the understanding of the Lord’s intention to rightly correct our motives so that our service may not be of our selfish interests.

This message has really blessed me and caused a shift in my mindset…
Previously I misunderstood what the Bible said in Luke 6:38…”Give and it will be given unto you…”
Though the Word of God is right and true in every sense of the Word…I misinterpreted it and my reason for giving was so that I could receive in an abundant measure…

But all thanks to this episode, I now know better…

“Your joy of service to the Lord should be that He is seen, celebrated, praised, and honoured.”

This has taught me that when it comes to giving, my only drive, passion, motive and motivation should be the total and absolute glorification of God…

Once the Lord has need of any of my resources(given to me by the Lord Himself), I must willingly give it up for His purpose so that lives can be blessed.

Glory to God
This episode has made me understood that
..The Lord has need of me
..The Lord has need of everything I posses
…His need for me is to produce impact in the Life of others
…My motive for giving to the Lord should primarily be that the Lord has need of Me and what I have.

Despite the numerous blessings in serving the Lord, my focus should only be that God has need for me and what i have.

FROM THE STORY OF JESUS MULTIPLYING BREAD AND FISH, THE YOUNG BOY GAVE IT OUT BECAUSE JESUS NEEDED IT
FROM THE STORY OF THE COLT, THE OWNERS KNEW THAT JESUS NEEDED IT.

FROM THIS TWO INSTANCE, IT HAS BEEN FIRMLY ESTABLISHED THAT OUR SERVICE IN WHATEVER CAPACITY WHETHER, GIVING, TIME, ATTENTION, ETC; IT SHOULD BE BECAUSE THE LORD NEEDS IT AND NOT WHAT WE WILL GET

Philippians 2:20-22 NLT

20 I have no one else like Timothy, who genuinely cares about your welfare. 21 All the others care only for themselves and not for what matters to Jesus Christ. 22 But you know how Timothy has proved himself. Like a son with his father, he has served with me in preaching the Good News.

Motives Are a very crucial thing in a walk or relationship with someone
It actually spells out what every was in a man’s heart from day one
The Lord gave David , Abraham , Moses etc special positions and Appellations because of their motives for doing what ever they do.
It can never be undermined that when you make the Lord your motive as he is glorified it is not in him alone but in you as well
He is a light and everywhere light shines what ever is there will be exposed so the Lord will shine his light through you in due time when your motives are in line with his glory

No one can pretend it is like pregnancy or will surly come out a day you are really provoked or put in a tight corner

When things are not really favourable that is when. We will see that you will still be you or another you will show forth
