HIS GIFT
A young man was raised by a Christian mother who taught him that 10 per cent of everything he earned belonged to God.
When he began to work at the age of 16, he gave 10 % of his earnings to God’s work. By the time he was 33, he was a millionaire. By the age of 43, he had the largest company in the world. Sadly, when he was 53 something happened and he stopped giving God first place in his life.
It was then that he got a horrible disease, and the doctors told him he would die before he was 54. The man repented, turned back to God, and he lived to be 98 years old, giving away many millions of dollars just as he had before. The foundations he established are still giving away millions long after the death of John D. Rockefeller.
Rockefeller had a gift of giving. When he stopped using his gift, the purpose of his life ended. When he reestablished living for his purpose, God continued to bless his life.
What has God called you to do? If you’ll do that, God will keep away the devourer.
