Don’t settle for anything less when your heart asks for more
Pr. David Lai

Mark 10:46-52 - Blind Bartimaeus determined in his mind & heart to get his sight.
The devil doesn’t want us to have more. He wants to kill, steal and destroy us from having more.

Genesis 37:3 – Joseph was hated by his brothers because he had more. Likewise when we have more the devil wants to destroy us. But we need to rise up and allow God to bless us move that we can impact nations.

Daniel - Served four kings but finally he had more and became a prophetic voice to the nation.

Saul (1 Samuel 9:1-27) – Saul a handsome guy was selected to be the king of Israel but Saul with his own mind and perspective say I’m from the smallest clan of Benjamite and tries to avoid the more that God wanted to bless him.

We just need o allow God to touch our hearts for His blessings are unlimited, we need to change our believe system so that we can trust on what the Word of God says; only then our spirit-man will line-up towards God’s plan for us.

1 Sam 10:9, 26 – God gave Saul another heart, a changed heart to do His will. Learn to pull down every stronghold in the mind in Jesus’ name.

Gideon (Judges 6) – Gideon had the same mind set like Saul that he was from the smallest and weakest clan, but he wanted move- to see the deliverance of the nation of Israel. Since he wanted more, he became a mighty leader. God is a God of Much More!

Jabez (1 Chron 4:9-10) – “Oh, that You would bless me indeed, and enlarge my territory, that Your hand would be with me, and that You would keep me from evil, that I may not cause pain!"

2 Chron 25:6-9 - God has power to help and to overthrow - "The Lord is able to give you much more than this."

Eph 3:20 “Now to Him who is able to do exceedingly abundantly above all that we ask or think, according to the power that works in us.”

So don’t settle for anything less when your heart asks for more in the things of God!

Do You Really Know God
Bro. Daniel Jacob

Gen 19:1 -15 ~ Sodom & Gomorrah were punished.
Gen 18:20 – Sodom and Gomorrah was destroyed because of their sin. Ezekiel 16:49 says their sin was that they did not help the poor, were haughty and did detestable things.
The main reason God destroyed them was because they did not help the poor and the needy.


Gen 18:20 – Sodom and Gomorrah was destroyed because of their sin. Ezekiel 16:49 says their sin was that they did not help the poor, were haughty and did detestable things.
The main reason God destroyed them was because they did not help the poor and the needy.

Gal 2:9-10 ~ The Apostles and Paul had the same desire that is “to remember the poor”.

Jeremiah 22:16 ~ To have compassion on the poor. That compassion must do something, and
not just having good intentions but without actions. The Bible says that Jesus was moved by
compassion to do something.

Lev 19:1-10 ~ The Lord told how the harvesters must consider the poor & needy by leaving some at the edge, whatever falls don’t pick up, so that the poor may collect them.

We have to heed the call of the poor and needy.
Pro 21:31~ Don’t shut the cry of the poor and remember what we sow is what we will reap.
Mt 25:31-46 – Jesus mentions that whatever we do to the least of the brethren, we do it unto Him.

Eph 2:8 By grace we have been saved through faith. James says ‘Faith without works is dead”. If we have faith, the natural result is action to do something.
We become selfish and self centred if we do not give or help the poor. When we are insensitive to something, we are oblivious to the problems around.

Poor are those who due to circumstances in life are not able to help or fend for themselves due to ill health, death of sole provider, lack of opportunity, oppression from outside.

We should proactively want to help the poor & needy.
Pro 22:9 – Generous giver will be blessed.
Deut 15:10 – Give without grieve and God will bless all your works
Pro 19:17 – He who has pity on the poor lends to the LORD…

You can give without loving but you cannot love without giving!
So to what extend do we help the poor & needy? The picture of a true Christian is one who blesses the poor.

Conclusion: God is interested in people, especially people in difficulty. Give without expecting anything in return!
