              Cheerful giver

​

​

​

​

Each man should give what

he has decided in his heart to give,

not reluctantly or under compulsion,

for God loves a cheerful giver.

2 Corinthians 9:7

God has given to men life,

blessing and only Son.

He has given them all willingly.

Thus he loves those who give

cheerfully for they are after his heart.

God's enemy, devil does not give.

It steals, robbers and devours like

black hall; and has become hell.

The 2 Corinthians is the Apostle Paul's second letter to the 

Corinthian Churches. Letter is the most intimate and personal.

Two thousand years ago, the Corinth city in Greece reminds

us today's New York city. The Corinth seaboard city was

then a center of trade, merchandize, wealth and luxury.

Also there was the Venus temple which led people not only

to moral deterioration but also sexual disaster.

The original location of Humanism, which against Creator God

and focus on human, the Corinth city in Greece lay in

spiritually formless, empty and darkness.

Here by God's mercy small lights began to shine. They were the

Lord Jesus' house Churches. They belong to the low social class.

Envious and jealous devil attempted to destroy God's

House Churches by questioning Paul's integrity and Apostleship.

And it caused to delay and complicate the promised loving

collection as well for the poverty stricken Jerusalem church.  

It was the process of the life giving Gospel to us, and it

continues so. How beautiful are the feet those who

bring good news !
