God Is A Giver, Not A Taker.

25th January 2023

God Is A Giver, Not A Taker.

Romans 8:32: He who did not spare His own Son, but delivered Him up for us all, how shall He not with Him also freely give us all things?

Some Christians mistakenly believe that God gives and also takes away. At funerals, we sometimes hear the minister say, “The Lord giveth, and the Lord taketh. Blessed be the name of the Lord.”

I remember an occasion when I was looking at a baby who was suffering from cancer. I heard one of his family members comment, “You can’t be sure what God’s will is. He may or may not heal.” What that person meant was that although the Lord had given the parents this baby, He might later take the baby away from them.

Job displayed this very same attitude when he received the news that he had lost his property and children. Thinking that God was the source of his problems and not knowing that it was actually Satan who had come against him, he said, “Naked I came from my mother’s womb, and naked shall I return there. The Lord gave, and the Lord has taken away; blessed be the name of the Lord.” (Job 1:21) Such a statement seems to honor God, but in reality, it reveals an erroneous view of our heavenly Father.

As children of God, we know what the Father’s will is for us. He is a giver, not a taker! Jesus said, “Do not fear, little flock, for it is your Father’s good pleasure to give you the kingdom.” (Luke 12:32) It is the devil who is the thief. He comes to steal, kill and destroy. But Jesus came to give us life more abundant. (John 10:10)

Jesus met every need and healed every sickness brought before Him, and at the cross, He gave His own life. Never once did He take anything away from the people who came to Him. And the Bible says that whoever has seen Jesus has seen the Father. (John 14:9)

Beloved, your heavenly Father wants you to know today that He is the one who gives you all good things. And if He has already given us heaven’s best — Jesus, “how shall He not with Him also freely give us all things”?

    Wowwww, my dearest pastor Enoch Alamu. I just love the way you break down these Devotionals.

    The simplicity of it, anyone can understand especially a child.

    Indeed, we tend to say that, God gives and He also takes away.

    From the very beginning of time God gave us, until satan came to decisive Eve, because Adam was not being attentive to The Word of God .

    God gave us life from the very moment He created The Universe.

    It was too good to be true for satan. So he became envious of our Father’s loving relationship with us.

    Instead for him to be grateful in making The Father’s heart 💓 joyful as Our Father made him so beautiful, handsome and full of music, he wanted to be better that his creator.

    Sorry to go on sir, but this is a massive revelation for me, I don’t know about anyone else.🤗🙏🏾🔥

    But these are the things we over look, when we don’t study who God really is in our lives and we in Him.

    We must know that, as you always say.

    EVERYTHING GOOD IS FROM GOD AND EVERYTHING BAD IS FROM the devil.

    Thank you so very much sir. This really has opened my understanding about what my Heavenly Father’s plan is for my life.

    JEREMIAH 29 V 11.
    ITS OF GOOD AND NOT OF evil, TO GIVE ME A HOPE AND A FUTURE.

    INDEED, WHEN I LOOK INTI THE SCRIPTURES I SEE MY PICTURE TO GIVE ME A FUTURE.

    MIGHTY MAN OF THE ALMIGHTY GOD. YOU HAVE TRULY BLESSED ME BEFORE GOING TO SLEEP. I LOVE AND CELEBRATE YOU SIR. MORE GRACE, FRESH ANOINTING UNSTOPPABLE, UNCOMMON FAVOUR AND WONDERS WITHOUT LIMITS. 🙏🏾 IN THE MIGHTY NAME OF JESUS CHRIST AMEN 🔥🔥🙏🏾🔥🔥🙏🏾🔥🔥🔥🔥🙏🏾🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

    What ever he gives me, the gift makes me rich and ads no sorrows to it.

    If only Mr Job knew who he was and the power in his mouth I’m sure he could have used his mouth and his authority as a child of God to pray and rebuke the hand of Satan in his family.
    Thank you so much pastor 🙏

    “Anything that is not good is not God”… Pastor Enoch

    So, if we see anything contrary to goodness it is from the devil who has evil in him.

    However one guarantee that we also have is that our heavenly Father who gives us ll things is also able to protect us and all things given to us from the devil and all evil because He is greater than them all (John 10:29)

    O ju won lo
    Baba mi ju won lo
    Gbogbo agbara okunkun
    Ati satani baba won
    JESU ju won lo

    Thank you so much Pastor for another eye-opener and faith booster not to watch what we do not want or any negativity.

    More Grace Sir
    The Lord bless you more abundantly in the name of Jesus. Amen
    Shalom my Father

    God is a giver, He gave His Son just to show us His love, forgiveness and mercy. What again is that thing we want God to give us that He won’t freely give to us? He delights in our prosperity and He wants us to be joyful, peaceful, with sound mind and no fear of tomorrow. Infact, Jesus has already given us all that we need on the cross! It’s our job to reinforce those finished works! HALLELUJAH 🔥💃🏾🥳🎆✝️🙏🏾. Thank you so much for this devotion sir 🙏🏾✝️.

  20. Psalm 84:11
    For the LORD God is a sun and shield; The LORD will give grace and glory; No good thing will He withhold From those who walk uprightly.

    If my heavenly Father has already given me heaven’s best — Jesus, how shall He not with Him also freely give me all things? Christ was the most selfless and giving being in the whole of humanity to ever touch the earth. He gave us everything we ever need to serve our purpose in this world and to prepare us for Heaven. Once again He is simply the best and despite us not deserving Him God freely gave Him to us. Also we thank God that we can learn from Bro Job and be clear that the enemy will always try to set up traps to take things away from us, but so long as we remain steadfast with God He will turn things around for our good. Therefore I embrace His Word in Psalm 84 vs 11 that tells me that He will not only be like a Sun pouring all good things on to me, but my shield and restorer of every good thing the devil tries to take away from me. He is forever my Source to every resource that I need. Thank You Lord for not withholding Christ from us and for daily reminding me through Christ that You want nothing but good things for my life!

    God richly bless you Pastor for this enriching devotional! May the Lord continue to reward you Sir!
