Give, and it shall be given unto you; good measure, pressed down, and shaken together, and running over, shall men give into your bosom. For with the same measure that ye mete withal it shall be measured to you again. (Luke 6:38)
Giving is an act of worship and reverence towards God. Giving is a spiritual law and the key to unlocking God’s blessings and receiving more.
Bible says, “…this I say, He which soweth sparingly shall reap also sparingly; and he which soweth bountifully shall reap also bountifully” (2 Corinthians9:6). It’s a spiritual law. If you’re miserly in your giving, you’ll reap a meagre harvest, but if you give generously, you’ll also reap generously. Yes the size of your seed doesn’t matter, but if you have been blessed by God and yet choose to act miser in giving, you short circuit your grace of supply. The size of your giving should be big for you, it should cost you something, else it’s not a sacrifice.
Also, you must always plan your offering. Remember, He is God; He’s not a man. Your offering to Him is holy; it’s a sanctified thing and it deserves careful consideration; it’s something you have to be intentional about.
You must inculcate in you a generous Spirit of giving because God did not even hold Himself from giving His son for you, now you are His child and born of Him. The importance of tithing and offering is immense but as a Christian you are also called to give your time, resources and prayers to the kingdom of God.
I encourage you therefore, to give freely and recklessly in love for God, believing that God will reciprocate with even greater blessings.
Prayer:
Dear Father, I thank you for the privilege and blessings of giving. I refuse to be a miserly giver but i give freely and generously. I walk in abundant blessings, bearing increased fruits of righteousness, in Jesus’ Name. Amen.
