Finest of Favor

 ..And he who gives to the rich, will surely come to poverty. 
Proverbs 22:16

Saints,

From experience, the finest of favor truly comes from helping the poor.  Yet, Jesus does not stop there, He goes a step further and calls us to love our enemies, do good and lend to them.  Not the televangelists.  

Some televangelists are awesome, while others everyday ask, ask, and keep on asking.  Reminds of the proverb The leech has two daughters— Give and Give!    Honestly, they have raped Luke 6:38. 

Luke 6:30, 32-28

Give to everyone who asks of you. And from him who takes away your goods do not ask them back.
32 “But if you love those (televangelists) who love you, what credit (harvest) is that to you? For even sinners love those who love them. 33 And if you do good to those (televangelists) who do good to you, what credit (harvest) is that to you? For even sinners do the same. 34 And if you lend to those from whom you hope to receive back, what credit is that to you? For even sinners lend to sinners to receive as much back. 35 But love your enemies, do good, and lend, hoping for nothing in return; and your reward will be great, and you will be sons of the Most High. For He is kind to the unthankful and evil. 36 Therefore be merciful, just as your Father also is merciful.

37 “Judge not, and you shall not be judged. Condemn not, and you shall not be condemned. Forgive, and you will be forgiven. 38 Give, and it will be given to you: good measure, pressed down, shaken together, and running over will be put into your bosom. For with the same measure that you use, it will be measured back to you.”

In Closing,

You will have the finest of favor when you help the poor and graciously love your enemies doing good and lending.  For as Jesus puts it, your reward will not only be great, but shall be manifested right before your eyes!  Give, and it will be given to you: good measure, pressed down, shaken together, and running over will be put into your bosom..
