“If anyone does not provide for jis relatives, and especially for his immediate family, he denied the faith and is worse than an unbeliever.” – 1 Timothy 5:8

When I was still studying, my father would often say, “Just finish your studies and then you can marry”. It’s his way of saying, I don’t have to repay them.

Indeed, parents will send their children to college. They will do everything to provide education without expecting anything in return. However, It is up to us, if we will let them taste the fruits of their labor.

Although our parents will not oblige us to give a portion of our wages, when we know that they are having financial difficulties, we should provide for them.

As Christians, we do not want to be like the unbeliever neither will we want to be worse than them by not providing for our families.

In light of this, I pray that the Lord our God, who has called us to serve His purpose, bless us financially that we may provide not only for our immediate family but also for our relatives. May He bless the works of our hands and prosper us so that we will experience the kind of life He promised us… Life in its abundance. May He be glorified in our prosperity and His name be lifted up! This is my hearts prayer to the Lord Almighty through His Son, my Savior, Jesus Christ. Amen
