Topic: Be Indispensable
SCRIPTURE: 2 Corinthians 9:7
Let each one [give] as he has made up his own mind and purposed in his heart, not reluctantly or sorrowfully or under compulsion, for God loves (He takes pleasure in, prizes above other things, and is unwilling to abandon or to do without) a cheerful (joyous, “prompt to do it”) giver [whose heart is in his giving]
There is a difference between being important and being valuable. We are all valuable to God, but we are not all important. The Bible tells us that God sent His Son to die for the whole world. That is how valuable every single person is to God. But some manage to increase their value from God’s perspective and graduate from being valuable to being important to Him. Today’s scripture gives you a simple formula for getting on God’s VIP – Very Important Person – exclusive list.
There is something God prizes above all other things: above preaching, above prophesying, above prayer, even above soul-winning, and that is a cheerful giver. You see, money is a tool for moving God’s Kingdom agenda forward. God Himself declared that money causes His cities to be spread abroad, not prayer, not preaching, not prophesying – money! Jesus spoke more about money than about Heaven and Hell combined.
So, how do you make yourself a VIP to God? Be a giver who does not only give because the preacher asks you to give, but one who gives as the Holy Spirit leads at any given opportunity. And when you give, be joyful and quick to do it.
He delights in the one who recognizes the privilege of partnering with Him to fulfil His purposes in the Earth and who takes joy in doing it. God dearly loves, is well pleased with, and is unwilling to abandon or do without such a person. Your attitude in giving can become your best insurance policy. It can guarantee you a permanent position on God’s VIP list.

PROPHETIC DECLARATION
I have purposed in my mind and heart to be a giver. I am anointed to give, and as I do so, I am aligning my purpose with Heaven and fulfilling my priestly order. I bring joy to my Father’s heart and cause the Gospel to reach the ends of the Earth. I am God’s VIP, and I go anywhere without fear because God is unwilling to do without me, His prompt, cheerful giver.
