MFM Daily Devotional 31 January 2021 Outline
There is a mystery that many believers do not understand. It is to know God through giving. The evidence of your total submission to God is measured by your giving. Your giving shows your love for God. Many claim to know God but do nothing to further His kingdom. Some people cherish their possessions and what they have received more than the Giver.
Abraham in our memory verse wanted to sacrifice his only son because God asked for him. God is interested in what we give and He is equally interested in what we do with what remains after we have given. How do you show that you know God through your giving? By the generosity of your giving, of course.
You appreciate God as the GIVER of every good and perfect gift (James 1:17) through your giving. When you give, it shows that you trust God to provide for you. One of the reasons why people are stingy towards God and others is fear. Fear does not recognise God, but faith shows that you know that God did it and that He will do it again. We have the example of the widow of Zarephath. God was concerned about the needs and misery of the poor widow.
In fact, God sent Elijah to encourage her faith and give her some material blessings when she gave her last meal. Not many people can do this but this widow clearly showed that to offer all is nothing to her. God was her all in all and her sufficiency, even when it looked like all hope was lost (1 Kings 17:2). Because of her faith in God, she was willing to exchange certainty for uncertainty.
Beloved, do you know God? Are you willing to show that God is paramount in your life, then give your all.

HYMN
TAKE MY LIFE AND LET IT BE
1. Take my life and let it be,
Consecrated, Lord, to Thee;
Take my moments and my days,
Let them flow in ceaseless praise.
2. Take my hands and let them move,
At the impulse of Thy love;
Take my feet and let them be
Swift and beautiful for Thee.
3. Take my voice and let me sing
Always, only, for my King;
Take my lips and let them be
Filled with messages from Thee.
4. Take my silver and my gold,
Not a mite would I with-hold;
Take my intellect and use
Every power as Thou shalt choose.
5. Take my will and make it Thine,
It shall be no longer mine;
Take my heart it is Thine own,
It shall be Thy royal throne.
6. Take my love my Lord, I pour
At Thy feet its treasure store;
Take myself and I will be
Ever, only, all for Thee.
