TOPIC: EMBRACING GOD'S INDESCRIBABLE GIFT

MEMORISE 

Thanks be to God for His indescribable gift! (2 Corinthians 9:15)

READ:2 Corinthians 9:15

[15].   Thanks be to God for His indescribable gift!

EXPOSITION 

In 2 Corinthians 9, Apostle Paul unfolds a profound narrative of God's grace that extends beyond individual lives to encompass the entire world. This passage isn't solely about promising personal prosperity but emphasises divine enablement for overflowing generosity and good works. As recipients of God's abundant grace, we are entrusted to become conduits of that grace to the world around us.

God's grace isn't limited to providing material resources; it also offers spiritual nourishment than chocolate cake can offer as today is National Chocolate Cake Day. We are blessed not just for ourselves but to bless others, both spiritually and materially. Our acts of kindness serve as powerful testimonies, drawing others to glorify God for His abundant grace manifested through His people. Thus, as vessels of grace, believers are called to embrace a lifestyle of generosity and good works, recognising that God's grace empowers us not only to meet our own needs but also to contribute significantly to the welfare of others, as today also marks International Holocaust Remembrance Day

PRAYER POINTS

1.    Thank God for the incomparable gift of Christ readily available to us.

2.    Lord, I receive divine enrichment in all aspects of life.

3.    Lord, help members and leaders of our churches to embrace the spirit of sacrificial giving.

1. What shall we offer our good Lord,

 Poor nothings, for His boundless grace?

 Fain would we His great name record

 And worthily set forth His praise.

2. Great object of our growing love,

 To whom our more than all we owe,

 Open the fountain from above,

 And let it our full souls o'er flow.

3. So shall our lives Thy pow'r proclaim,

 Thy grace for every sinner free;

 Till all mankind shall learn Thy name,

 Shall all stretch out their hands to Thee.

4. Open a door which earth and hell

 May strive to shut, but strive in vain;

 Let Thy word richly in us dwell,

 And let our gracious fruit remain.

5. O multiply the sower's seed!

 And fruit we every hour shall bear,

 Throughout the world Thy gospel spread

 Thy everlasting truth declare.

6. We all, in perfect love renewed, 

 Shall know the greatness of Thy pow'r,

 Stand in the temple of our God

 As pillars, and go out no more.

Amen.
