Spiritual Warfare: 'Generous Giving Brings Good Results'

God's Power for Our Battles — Saturday, November 28, 2026

So two good things will result from this ministry of giving — the needs of the believers in Jerusalem will be met, and they will joyfully express their thanks to God.
— 2 Corinthians 9:12 NLT

Today's Prayer

Lord, I confess that I have been stingy and selfish with my giving in the past. Help me to now give with joy in my heart and a bounce in my step. Remind me what You did with just five loaves and two fish, Lord, and use my contribution to help many find Jesus. And help me to give not ONLY of my money but also of my time and talents. Help me to live each day dedicated to recognizing the opportunities You are placing before me each and every day. Help me see where You are at work and know how You want me to join in that work. In Jesus’ Name, Amen.
