Month’s Theme: OUR MONTH TO RECEIVE MULTIPLIED GRACE 2 Corinthians 4:15, 2 Peter 1:2
Memory Verse
“And now, brothers and sisters, we want you to know about the grace that God has given the Macedonian churches. In the midst of a very severe trial, their overflowing joy and their extreme poverty welled up in rich generosity. For I testify that they gave as much as they were able, and even beyond their ability. Entirely on their own” 2 Cor.8:1-3
Introduction
To God be the glory for bringing us to another week. Our prayer text for today identifies the GRACE upon the Macedonia church and how they were enabled to GIVE generously even though they were facing SEVERE TRIALS and also in NEED. The Macedonia church gave as much as they were able, and even beyond their ability.
Beloved, with God’s grace upon our lives, we can still give joyfully even in deep lack and life challenges. May the Lord release Giving Grace upon us in Jesus name. Amen!
