25 Sep 2021: THREE LEVELS OF GIVING UPWARDS – Luke 8:3, Romans 10:15

In the kingdom of God, you can give upwards towards manifested grace on three levels:

• The man of God
• The house of God
• The work of God

Anytime and anywhere you find yourself giving to one of these three, it must be giving towards ‘manifested grace’. Before you give to a man of God, ask, “Is he sent?”

“And how shall they preach except they be sent?” (Rom. 10:15).

An unsent preacher is a danger to you. Did he go to start a ministry in rebellion? Was he punished or disciplined somewhere but reacted against discipline and started his own ministry by gathering people and labelling such gathering church? We have a lot of that happening today. Such a man will lead people into error.

Take note of this, if you give to a man that is not sent by God, you will join in the curse that is on his life. You cannot just believe and give to a man, a house or a work because they claim to be of God.

1 Thessalonians 5:21 – “Prove all things; hold fast that which is good”

Verify, this work of God: is it God that is working it?

This house of God: is it the house of God indeed?

Before you say you want to give towards it, you must satisfy that in your conscience before it really amounts to giving upwards.

PRAYER: Father, help me to recognize and verify my opportunities to give upwards to break loose a flow of grace upon my life. Amen.
