TOPIC:   RELEASING THE POWER OF THE OFFERING
ICE BREAKER: Did you agree with your spouse on the amount to give in last year’s  MyMMO?
REFLECTIONS: Bringing an extravagant offering is not bribing God. It is surrendering to God who we are and what we have. It is a statement to Him that: He is precious, He is our source and that we love and need Him. Without Him we can do nothing and we are nothing without Him. Whenever we bring an offering that God accepts, something happens in our hearts that allows His grace to be poured out into our lives. One of the turning points is the state of our marriage. When our marriages are not in order, we lose out on the blessing of God in our lives. When God accepted Solomon’s offering, He answered his prayers and also gave him over and above what he had asked for.  Can we make this MyMMO-25 a turning point in our marriages and families?

TEXTS:   2 Chronicles 1:6-12 (NIV)

Solomon went up to the bronze altar before the Lord in the tent of meeting and offered a thousand burnt offerings on it.  That night God appeared to Solomon and said to him, “Ask for whatever you want me to give you.” Solomon answered God, “You have shown great kindness to David my father and have made me king in his place. Now, Lord God, let your promise to my father David be confirmed, for you have made me king over a people who are as numerous as the dust of the earth. Give me wisdom and knowledge, that I may lead this people, for who is able to govern this great people of yours?” God said to Solomon, “Since this is your heart’s desire and you have not asked for wealth, possessions or honor, nor for the death of your enemies, and since you have not asked for a long life but for wisdom and knowledge to govern my people over whom I have made you king, therefore wisdom and knowledge will be given you. And I will also give you wealth, possessions and honor, such as no king who was before you ever had and none after you will have.” 

1 Peter 3:6-7 (NIV)

“Like Sarah, who obeyed Abraham and called him her Lord. You are her daughters if you do what is right and do not give way to fear. Husbands, in the same way be considerate as you live with your wives, and treat them with respect as the weaker partner and as heirs with you of the gracious gift of life, so that nothing will hinder your prayers.” 

DISCUSSION:

1. Solomon received an answer of over and above all he had asked for, what areas in your marriage would you love to experience this kind of favor?
2. What are the things that stand as hindrances to prayers and offerings of couples?
3. How can we prepare better as couples to participate cheerfully, extravagantly and in faith in the forthcoming My Miracle Missions Offering?
4. Take time to pray for one another and the church to realize the MyMMO-25 goal.
