列王記上 17:1~24

真正的奉獻—談信心

  • 真奉獻,就是把上帝放在第一位,並相信他的供應。真奉獻不是增加我們的金錢,而是增加我們對上帝的信心。真奉獻增加我們相信上帝會供應的信心。
  • 說到真奉獻,你總是能找到一個歷史的記載,一個上帝總是豐富供應的歷史記載
  • 列王紀上17的故事教導我們認識真奉獻:
  1. 惡王亞哈統治時發生的一次旱灾,以利亞順服上帝,躲藏在曠野裏,上帝讓烏鴉來供養他
  2. 當那條溪水乾涸以後,以利亞又順服上帝“瘋狂的指引”:到一個危險的地方找一個貧窮而饑餓的寡婦。
  3. 以利亞順服,不是因爲他知道這是怎麽一回事,而是因爲他有上帝供應他的經歷。

Real Giving 

  • Real giving to God puts God first and trusts him to supply. Real giving develops our trust in God not our money. Real giving develops our trust in the God who supplies.
  • Elijah obeys. He goes immediately without any question to this wilderness, and he puts himself in a place of depending on God because nobody else is going to provide for him there. God must come through. And God does.
  • Before real giving happens, God wins our heart. That’s where it starts.
