"Your Lion Wallet"

            And they did not do as we expected, but they gave themselves

                first to the Lord and then to us in keeping with God's will.

                                             2 corinthians 8:5

Jesus was once confronted by hypocritical religious leaders who disparaged what a woman did for Him in the house of simon the leper. She poured her perfumed and anointed His feet. 

         "Why not sell the perfume and give the money to the poor?" They prodded, ignoring the fact that, had they been honest, they would have kept the money for themselves, Jesus explained, "The poor you will always have with you, and you can help them at any time you want. But you will not always have me" (Mark 14:).

           Paul on the other hand, commended the Corinthians who "gave as much as they were able, and even beyond their ability," pointing out that they first gave themselves to the Lord (2 Corinthians 8:3-5). When you have given God your heart, then what you have is easily placed on the altar as well.

          A widely circulated e-mail by unknown writer contends that "If you have food on your table, clothes on your back, a roof over head, and a place to sleep in the night, you are richer than 75% of the rest of the people in the world. If you have savings in the bank, money in your wallet, and coins in a piggy bank or dish on your night stand, you are among an elite 8% of the world's population."

         Can you answer "yes to some of these conditions? If yes, then you might be wealthier than you think you are. What you have belong to the Lord it will free you of a great obligation and allow you to become a tool in His hands. But they that seek the Lord shall not want any good thing
