*MORNING DEW*
WIDOW'S MITE
Wednesday, 27th May 2026
Apst. Bod' D. Olukole
“Assuredly I say to you that this poor widow has put more than all those who have given to the treasury” Mark 12:43.
JOHN MASON once said, “A good way to judge a man is by what he says, a better way is by what he does, the best way is by what he gives.” I believe that fitly summarises what Jesus is saying in our main text today. For me, it suggests that God has keen interest in the way and manner people give to His work and Kingdom service. Jesus commended the poor widow who though gave comparatively less than the rich who gave much of their stupendous wealth, but in God’s eye actually gave more from her heart than all others did.
Contrary to my sociological class back in the day, the big problem here is neither in the ‘Haves’ nor the ‘Have nots’, the problem is in the ‘Give nots’ – those who do not give, or give but not in proportion to how they've been blessed. Hear Apostle Paul's testimony of the churches of Macedonia: "For I can testify that they gave not only what they could afford but far more. And they did it of their own free will". 2 Cor.8.3 (NLT) For Jesus, the true test of generosity is not necessarily in how much, but how much you have left. Is your 'widow’s mite' truly commensurate with how God has blessed you? Think on this!
Prayer:
--------------------------------------------------
Lord, I receive the willingness to give in proportion to how much you have blessed me.
