Friday showers of blessings come from Philippians 4:15-19 "Moreover, as you Philippians know, in the early days of your acquaintance with the gospel, when I set out from Macedonia, not one church shared with me in the matter of giving and receiving, except you only; for even when I was in Thessalonica, you sent me aid again and again when I was in need. Not that I am looking for a gift, but I am looking for what may be credited to your account. I have received full payment and even more; I am amply supplied, now that I have received from Epaphroditus the gifts you sent. They are a fragrant offering, an acceptable sacrifice, pleasing to GOD. And my GOD will meet all your needs according to his glorious riches in CHRIST JESUS.
Paul acknowledged the Philippians Church's financial help and other gifts in kind although he ministered among many Churches. He was even supported by Philippian Church when he was in Thessalonica Church. (kana vatendi vasati vakura pamweya vanofarira kupihwa chose chero vari able) But Paul also revealed the secret about giving which is deeper and good for Christians: the account of a giver gets credited. Giving is an act of worship. When you give, know for sure that your gift to support the work of GOD in cash and kind are a fragrant offering, an acceptable sacrifice pleasing to GOD. May the LORD enable us as believers of the Gospel to see and understand the blessing in giving. May your account overflow with abundance as you walk in obedience to the cause of the Gospel. Amen.
Blessings and Shalom
