BIBLE IN ONE YEAR: Exodus 29–30; Matthew 21:23–46
FIRE SCRIPTURE: Genesis 22:1-18 (KJV)
1 And it came to pass after these things, that God did tempt Abraham, and said unto him, Abraham: and he said, Behold, here I am.
2 And he said, Take now thy son, thine only son Isaac, whom thou lovest, and get thee into the land of Moriah; and offer him there for a burnt offering upon one of the mountains which I will tell thee of.
3 And Abraham rose up early in the morning, and saddled his ass, and took two of his young men with him, and Isaac his son, and clave the wood for the burnt offering, and rose up, and went unto the place of which God had told him.
4 Then on the third day Abraham lifted up his eyes, and saw the place afar off.
5 And Abraham said unto his young men, Abide ye here with the ass; and I and the lad will go yonder and worship, and come again to you.
6 And Abraham took the wood of the burnt offering, and laid it upon Isaac his son; and he took the fire in his hand, and a knife; and they went both of them together.
7 And Isaac spake unto Abraham his father, and said, My father: and he said, Here am I, my son. And he said, Behold the fire and the wood: but where is the lamb for a burnt offering?
8 And Abraham said, My son, God will provide himself a lamb for a burnt offering: so they went both of them together.
9 And they came to the place which God had told him of; and Abraham built an altar there, and laid the wood in order, and bound Isaac his son, and laid him on the altar upon the wood.
10 And Abraham stretched forth his hand, and took the knife to slay his son.
11 And the angel of the Lord called unto him out of heaven, and said, Abraham, Abraham: and he said, Here am I.
12 And he said, Lay not thine hand upon the lad, neither do thou any thing unto him: for now I know that thou fearest God, seeing thou hast not withheld thy son, thine only son from me.
13 And Abraham lifted up his eyes, and looked, and behold behind him a ram caught in a thicket by his horns: and Abraham went and took the ram, and offered him up for a burnt offering in the stead of his son.
14 And Abraham called the name of that place Jehovahjireh: as it is said to this day, In the mount of the Lord it shall be seen.
15 And the angel of the Lord called unto Abraham out of heaven the second time,
16 And said, By myself have I sworn, saith the Lord, for because thou hast done this thing, and hast not withheld thy son, thine only son:
17 That in blessing I will bless thee, and in multiplying I will multiply thy seed as the stars of the heaven, and as the sand which is upon the sea shore; and thy seed shall possess the gate of his enemies;
18 And in thy seed shall all the nations of the earth be blessed; because thou hast obeyed my voice.

Mountain Top Life MESSAGE:
Dear reader, can you really affirm that you have been faithful in giving? If you can’t, then you need to make an important decision to be faithful in giving this year. What does faithful giving entail?

Faithful giving is investing in eternity. It is predicated on the truth that you are not giving to the pastor or the church but to God. Apostle Paul said, “Not because I desire a gift: but I desire fruit that may abound to your account” (Philippians 4:17).
Beloved, when you give to the work of the Lord, you are putting money in the Bank of Heaven and it pays guaranteed interest for all eternity. So, I encourage you to plan and determine to give more this year.
Also, faithful giving is one motivated by worship. God sees our giving as a spiritual matter directly relating to our worship of Him. In Philippians 4:18, Apostle Paul described the gift he received as “an odour of a sweet smell, a sacrifice acceptable, well-pleasing to God.” Giving faithfully to God and for the furtherance of the gospel amounts to laying up treasure in heaven because where your treasure is, there your heart will be (Matthew 6:21).
God rewards faithful giving. Abraham offered his son, Isaac, to God faithfully and God rewarded him with transgenerational blessings. In Genesis 22:15-18, the Bible says, “And the angel of the LORD called unto Abraham out of heaven the second time, And said, By myself have I sworn, saith the LORD, for because thou hast done this thing, and hast not withheld thy son, thine only son: That in blessing I will bless thee, and in multiplying I will multiply thy seed as the stars of the heaven, and as the sand which is upon the sea shore; and thy seed shall possess the gate of his enemies; And in thy seed shall all the nations of the earth be blessed; because thou hast obeyed my voice.”
I encourage you to trust the living God who gave His Son for you by giving secretly, generously, systematically, purposely, cheerfully, sacrificially, out of a heart of gratitude, love and worship. If you do this, God will meet all your needs according to His riches in glory by Christ Jesus.
