*🧌🍃 GLHOFIM CLOSER TO GOD DAILY DEVOTION*
*FRIDAY AUGUST 28TH 2026* 🥀
* TOPIC: _THE LIFE OF CHARITY*_
*🌳 VERSE: _1 CORINTHIANS 13:3 NKJV*_
_“And though I bestow all my goods to feed the poor, and though I give my body to be burned, but have not love, it profits me nothing.”_
There’s an adage that says _charity begins at home_.
*🌱 WORD / FACTS 🌱*
*WITHOUT THE HEART OF LOVE YOU CAN'T SERVE GOD.*
Beloved, God came down from heaven to mankind because of His heart of love to deliver them.
The life of charity is a divine life. Jesus came to us as an exchange and by example.
The Bible clearly said if you hate your brother, you are a murderer. _1 John 3:15_
That is, until you love, you don’t have the heart of charity.
Charity is a lifestyle that draws people back to their Maker.
The full lifestyle of Jesus and His followers is charity and having compassion on people.
*Never you live for yourself alone, but also for others each day.*
Life consists of giving. Until you give, you don’t have life in abundance. _John 10:10b_
*REMEMBER:* _WITHOUT THE HEART OF LOVE YOU CAN'T SERVE GOD_
*🍂 ASSIGNMENT:*
1. Start with what you have now
2. Have plans for others as God keeps blessing you
3. Your prayers for others count
4. Represent your Maker in your location
*🌷 COUNSEL POINTS:*
1. *Give from the heart, not for show* — God sees the motive _1 Cor 13:3_
2. *Charity starts small* — A meal, a call, a prayer, a smile. Don’t wait to be "big"
3. *Love in action* — Words are good, but deeds draw people to Jesus
4. *Share what you have learned* — Your testimony, your time, your resources
Learn to share with others.
*PRAYER 🙏*
_Father, teach me Your way so I can replicate the same Lord to my world and neighbors around me, in Jesus name, Amen_
*🪴 BIBLE PLAN:* _PHILIPPIANS 1 - COLOSSIANS 1_
*🎋 PROPHETIC DECLARATION*
_May you reflect the lifestyle of Christ as you go out today in Jesus name.
May your hands be blessed to be a blessing, in Jesus name, Amen_
_IMMANUEL — GOD IS WITH US_ 🛬
