Pastor's Pen
Beginning with the first chapter of Genesis, in the whole creation episode, we behold a God of abundance, a God of fruitfulness, a God who is generous.
God blessed them and said to them,"Be fruitful and increase in number; fill the earth and subdue it. ..."I give you every seed-bearing plant on the face of the whole earth and every tree that has fruit with seed in it. They will be yours for food. And to all the beast of the earth and all the birds of the air and all the creatures that move on the ground - everything that has breath of life in it - I give every green plant for food." And it was so. God saw all that he had made, and it was very good.
Genesis 1:28-31
Our God is Good
A good God makes good things! Creation was graded "very good" because it was an outflow made in the image of the master craftsman who does not compromise on quality and beauty. No matter how ugly the world around us has become or no matter how badly we have been treated by others ...Remember: Our Good God harbours no evil intent but desires always to bless us!
Our God is Giving
He is no scrooge who withholds from giving. He is a God who gives and does not hold back. Wherever God has positioned you or whatever His calling upon your life, He will not just put you there to do whatever you can do just to get a job done! ...Remember: Our Giving God will give us all that we need to be successful, fruitful and joyful!
Our God is Generous
He gives so that we may have life - nad have it abundantly. In those few verses of Genesis, superlatives are used to describe His generosity. He is no stingy poker and His generosity overflows with abundance ...Remember: Our Generous God of the more than enough will flow through us too!
Our Good, Giving and Generous God is with us!
