We shared about the prayer of Paul for the Philippians, to get to the essence of his prayer, we read: “Now ye Philippians know also, that in the beginning of the gospel, when I departed from Macedonia no church communicated with me as concerning giving and receiving, but ye only. (Following so far? Only one (1) church of all the congregations communicated with the Apostle Paul.) For even being in Thessalonica ye sent once and again unto my necessity. They sustained his needs and wants, not because Paul desired a gift, but Paul desired fruit that abounded in the Philippian’s account. But Paul had all in Christ (can we say that?) By God’s AWESOME grace Paul abounded: being satisfied in Christ, having received of Epaphroditus the things which were sent from the Philippians, which he described as an odour of a sweet smell, a sacrifice acceptable and well-pleasing to God. But my God shall supply all your needs according to His riches in Glory by Christ Jesus.
Philippians 4:15-19
Thus, giving from your lack is a BLESSING received by the giver, and the needs of the giver are met. A prayer with a clause- giving in the lack of possession or digging deep! When was the last time you gave openly? Freely? When was the last time you gave until it hurt? Just asking! Be blessed as you pour out!
