Without Exception

Paul wrote by The Holy Spirit in 2 Corinthians chapter 9:

6 Here’s my point. A stingy sower will reap a meager harvest, but the one who sows from a generous spirit will reap an abundant harvest. 7 Let giving flow from your heart, not from a sense of religious duty. Let it spring up freely from the joy of giving—all because God loves hilarious generosity! 8 Yes, God is more than ready to overwhelm you with every form of grace, so that you will have more than enough of everything—every moment and in every way. He will make you overflow with abundance in every good thing you do. 9 Just as the Scriptures say about the one who trusts in him:

Because he has sown extravagantly and given to the poor,

    his kindness and generous deeds will never be forgotten.  TPT

And The Holy Spirit also recorded in Psalm 112:

1 Shout in celebration of praise to the Lord!

Everyone who loves the Lord and delights in him

will cherish his words and be blessed beyond expectation.

2 Their descendants will be prosperous and influential.

Every generation of his godly lovers will experience his favor.

3 Great blessing and wealth fills the house of the wise,

for their integrity endures forever.

4 Even if darkness overtakes them,

sunrise-brilliance will come bursting through

because they are gracious to others, so tender and true.

5 Life is good for the one who is generous and charitable,

conducting affairs with honesty and truth.

6 Their circumstances will never shake them

and others will never forget their example.

7 They will not live in fear or dread of what may come,

for their hearts are firm, ever secure in their faith.

8 Steady and strong, they will not be afraid,

but will calmly face their every foe

until they all go down in defeat.

9 Never stingy and always generous to those in need,

their lives of influence and honor will never be forgotten,

for they were full of good deeds.

10 But the wicked take one look at a life lived like this

and they grit their teeth in anger, not understanding their bliss.

The wicked slink away speechless in the darkness that falls,

where hope dies and all their dreams fade away to nothing,

nothing at all!

Our Lord Jesus Christ displayed the highest form of giving when He went to the cross on our behalf to redeem us back to Our Heavenly Father.  What better way to imitate Him than to be joyous givers to those in need.  Jesus was never hesitant to heal the sick or feed the hungry.  He is our perfect example of walking in full maturity as Sons and Daughters.

Jesus did not wait in the temple for everyone to find Him.  Instead, He went all about doing good, healing the sick, and casting out demons.  We should all aspire to emulate Him in every way because in John chapter 14 He spoke the following:

12 “Most assuredly, I say to you, he who believes in Me, the works that I do he will do also; and greater works than these he will do, because I go to My Father. 13 And whatever you ask in My name, that I will do, that the Father may be glorified in the Son. 14 If you ask anything in My name, I will do it.”

We should not shy away from this declaration made by Our Elder Brother but fully embrace every word He spoke.  Since He only spoke what He heard from FATHER, we know this is FATHER’S Divine Intent for us if we will submit to The Holy Spirit in all areas… without exception.
