Giving as an act of worship to God, Abiakum Macbeth

  Digging Deep Tuesday 26th March 2024 GIVING AS AN ACT WORSHIP TO GOD Bible text: Genesis 27:1-4 Abiakum Macbeth abiakumm@yahoo.com Introduction: Worship is a feeling or reference and adoration to God. Its a way to express your love to God. Giving means providing love or other emotion support. Giving as an act of worship therefore means a form of reference we show to God by parting with our substances or what is precious to us. Note that giving is also a form of thanksgiving, sacrificial giving or obligatory giving. While these other forms of giving are good, giving as a form of worship surpasses them all as it has no attachment or conditions to it. While giving as a form of thanksgiving is a way of thanking God for all his benefits, sacrificial giving is aimed at provoking the heavens to do the miraculous.

ABIAKUM MACBETH Trigger

DIVISIONS Everything that God created or that which man has ever invented comprises of two halves; the Material and the Formative halves. The Material, which are the physical ingredients from which the thing is made expresses its nature or characteristics and can be accessed through the senses. The Formative, is the expression of the ideal, the real and original or changeless frame or structure of the thing. Though the Formative is not visible to the senses, it is real in the mind of the creator and it is this reality that is transformed into the Material World. Without this Formative, nothing will exist in the Material and without the Material, nothing can be created. Thus, the Material and the Formative halves must co-exist for creation to come into being. Between the Material and the Formative halves, there is a bond that binds the two halves together. This binder is not a halve per se, but it is necessary for the two halves to be Complete though not Whole. The Completeness th...
