Hi Steemians, > This is the day the Lord has made, we will rejoice and be glad in it. As I was closed from church this morning and was on my way home. I noticed something that really made me to think for a second. There was this church that I over heard someone making an appeal for funds to support the church activities and for like 15 minutes: some 10 souls out of the congregation had bothered to stand to give. So I paused for a second to think about why it is only in the church that when it comes to giving money it becomes a tar of war. I was then moved to talk about giving today ![](https://s3.us-east-2.amazonaws.com/partiko.io/img/64466fb864093e5589cb3fcce0d91b9b1f68720e.png) [Image Source](https://images.theconversation.com/files/25742/original/4rm9v5wz-1371530696.jpg?ixlib=rb-1.1.0&rect=0%2C53%2C1000%2C676&q=45&auto=format&w=926&fit=clip) Memory verse: > > > Mark 12 :41-44 > 41 > Jesus sat down opposite the place where the offerings were put and watched the crowd putting their money into the temple treasury. Many rich people threw in large amounts. > 42 > But a poor widow came and put in two very small copper coins, worth only a fraction of a penny. > 43 > Calling his disciples to him, Jesus said, "I tell you the truth, this poor widow has put more into the treasury than all the others. > 44 > They all gave out of their wealth; but she, out of her poverty, put in everything--all she had to live on. Nowadays, it is only in the church that it becomes a tag of war, when ever they are asked to support God's work. Many are of the view that, they don't have money while others say why should they give when the money won't be sent to heaven but will be used here on earth. It's sometimes funny when i hear my Christians brothers and sisters speak this way. The Bible says; > Lack of knowledge my people perish. Most a times I remember the above phrase, when I hear Christian brothers and sisters talk this way. The above scriptures tells how a poor widow, gave her all to support the church. Even tho this poor widow had two small copper coins which didn't wealth a penny. As Christians today, we should give willing, no matter what we face or have. We don't have to be rich before we give to support God's work. No matter the situation we face, we should give to God freely and the more you give to God, the more blessed you become. Always remember When you share your food to the Poor will be rich. Those who leans to the poor leans to heaven. Who ever loves God pray If you really want to Grow in Christ, you should study the word of God. Lastly, It's only when you give yourself as a gift to God, is when you can give your talent, procession and everything you have to the Lord. Thanks for reading....
