Jentezen Franklin Daily Devotional (October 2, 2025) Life Measured by Donation.
"I will very gladly spend and be spent for your souls." 2 Corinthians 12:15 (NKJV)
Life is not measured by how long we live, but by how much we give. The true measure of a life is in the difference we make, the souls we touch, and the influence we have for Christ. When you take a stand for Jesus, when you step forward to testify, you are saying, “I want to be a witness for You.”
Revelation 12:11 reminds us, “They overcame him by the blood of the Lamb and by the word of their testimony, and they did not love their lives to the death” (NKJV). This is the essence of faithfulness.
Overcoming comes through surrender and giving yourself fully to God’s purposes, even when it costs everything.
You don’t have to be a preacher to make an impact. Wherever God has placed you—your home, your school, your workplace—you can lead by example, testify boldly, and serve sacrificially. It starts with a single act of obedience, a single step of faith, a single moment of saying, “Here am I, Lord. Spend me and send me.”
Prayer: Lord, I give You my life today. Take my choices, my time, my talents, and use them for Your glory. Teach me to live unashamedly for You, to testify of Your goodness, and to serve my generation with courage. Let my life be spent so that others may come to know You. Amen.
