THE GIFT OF GOD (4)
(Message by Tanny Keng)
1. The Gift of God
a) The giver always gets blessed more than the receiver. The first blessing is the joy of the Lord.
(Matthew 25:23 NKJV)
“His lord said to him, ‘Well done, good and faithful servant; you have been faithful over a few things, I will make you ruler over many things. Enter into the joy of your lord.’
(Matthew 25:40 NIV)
“The King will reply, ‘I tell you the truth, whatever you did for one of the least of these brothers of mine, you did for me.’
(Nehemiah 8:10 NIV)
Nehemiah said, “Go and enjoy choice food and sweet drinks, and send some to those who have nothing prepared. This day is sacred to our Lord. Do not grieve, for the joy of the LORD is your strength.”
(Proverbs 19:17 NIV)
He who is kind to the poor lends to the LORD, and he will reward him for what he has done.
(Psalms 41:1-3 NKJV)
Blessed is he who considers the poor; The LORD will deliver him in time of trouble. The LORD will preserve him and keep him alive, And he will be blessed on the earth; You will not deliver him to the will of his enemies. The LORD will strengthen him on his bed of illness; You will sustain him on his sickbed.
(Proverbs 29:7 NKJV)
The righteous considers the cause of the poor, But the wicked does not understand such knowledge.
(Psalms 112:1-9 NIV)

(Psalms 112:1-9 NIV)
Praise the LORD. Blessed is the man who fears
the LORD, who finds great delight in his commands. {2} His children will
be mighty in the land; the generation of the upright will be blessed.
{3} Wealth and riches are in his house, and his righteousness endures
forever. {4} Even in darkness light dawns for the upright, for the gracious and compassionate and righteous man. {5}
Good will come to him who is generous and lends freely, who conducts
his affairs with justice. {6} Surely he will never be shaken; a
righteous man will be remembered forever. {7} He will have no fear of
bad news; his heart is steadfast, trusting in the LORD. {8} His heart is
secure, he will have no fear; in the end he will look in triumph on his
foes. {9} He has scattered abroad his gifts to the poor, his righteousness endures forever; his horn will be lifted high in honor.
