MFM Daily Devotional Message Friday, 24th July, 2026.
Stinginess is the unwillingness to give or share what one has with others. It stems from a mindset of scarcity and fear of lack. On this day, let us reflect on the dangers of stinginess and the importance of cultivating a generous heart. I recall the story of Mr. Ade, a businessman in Lagos who was known for his stingy nature. Despite his wealth, Mr. Ade refused to help those in need, including his own family members. He believed that giving would deplete his resources and that he needed to hold on tightly to what he had. Over time, Mr. Ade's relationships suffered, and he became isolated. His business also faced challenges, as potential partners were reluctant to work with someone who was known for his lack of generosity. Mr. Ade's story is a stark reminder of how stinginess can negatively impact our lives and relationships.
On the other hand, there is the story of Mama Grace, a widow from a small village in Kenya. Despite her limited resources, Mama Grace was known for her generous spirit. She often shared her food with her neighbours and provided support to struggling families in her community. Mama Grace believed that God would provide for her needs as she helped others. Her generosity did not go unnoticed; the community rallied around her during difficult times, and she always had enough to meet her needs. Mama Grace's story highlights the blessings that come from a generous heart.
God's word teaches us about the dangers of stinginess and the blessings of generosity. Proverbs 11:24-25 says, "One person gives freely, yet gains even more; another withholds unduly, but comes to poverty. A generous person will prosper; whoever refreshes others will be refreshed." This verse emphasises that generosity leads to prosperity, while stinginess leads to lack. 2 Corinthians 9:6-7 reminds us, "Remember this: Whoever sows sparingly will also reap sparingly, and whoever sows generously will also reap generously. Each of you should give what you have decided in your heart to give, not reluctantly or under compulsion, for God loves a cheerful giver." Generosity should come from the heart, and it brings joy to both the giver and the receiver. Luke 6:38 encourages us, "Give, and it will be given to you. A good measure, pressed down, shaken together and running over, will be poured into your lap. For with the measure you use, it will be measured to you." This verse reminds us that our generosity will be rewarded abundantly by God.
