Acts 10:1-8
It is important to understand that your prayer alone is not what God looks at before He blesses you.
That's why we have been exploring the other things God considers before blessing you.
In this ministry we have looked at messages like 'Prayer and Direction', Light and Prayer', 'Your Prayer and your Vision', 'True Faith, True Prayer', Blessings and Prayer' to name a few.
We take our time to consider the other things that go along with prayer because I've discovered there are many people who pray but aren't mature in the things of God.
The most prayerful people aren't always the most successful people. If prayer is the only yardstick for God's approval and blessings, those who pray the most- prayer warriors should be the most blessed people on earth but it's not always so.
The life of Cornelius shows this.
This man didn't have salvation, but he always made an effort to pray and support the poor.
One day an angel appeared to him and salvation came to him and his household. Acts 10:22-48
Many people have missed out on great opportunities to be blessed, not because they don't pray, but because they don't give.
Prayer is important to a Christian, so should giving.
Everything God controls, gives. Eg. plants, human beings and the sun.
Giving should not only go to ministries or ministers of the gospel. Giving to ministries that support missions and evangelism is great. Supporting and sowing into the life of true ministers is scriptural. What about the poor?
But we must not neglect giving to the poor.
Proverbs 19:17, Luke 6:38, Romans 12:13, Hebrews 13:16, Luke 3:10,11, Ephesians 4:27-28, Proverbs 22:9
Sharing what you have with someone less privileged than you always catches God's attention.
