Love you all, praying for you!
Are you a giver? God is. It’s part of who He is. The joy of life comes from giving. Why don’t many people give? Because they think giving is losing, when God says giving is gaining. Givers are joyful – because giving brings joy. Givers are faith-full because giving demonstrates faith. Givers are unlikely to cheat you, they are givers, not takers. Givers always get more – have you noticed? God is a giver – He owns everything – and He gives us everything we need. God’s Word says He gave us His own son, how would he not also (along with Him) freely give us all things? If you have the heart of God and the Spirit of God – you’ll be a giver. So what should you give? #1 - Give Praise - Psalms 57:7 – My heart is fixed, O God, my heart is fixed: I will sing and give praise. Praise is Giving 101. #2 – Give thanks - I Thessalonians 5:18 – In every thing give thanks for this is the will of God for you in Christ Jesus. #3 – Give Glory. This is your testimony. Give unto the LORD the glory due His Name. Glory is weight, credit, it's what makes you look good. To give God glory is to make Him look bigger in your eyes and others. You can’t make Him any bigger than He already is – but your testimony which makes Him bigger just lets people see – how great He really is! #4 - Give your tithe – off the top, not even a thought – give Him the chance to open the windows of heaven and pour out a blessing you can’t contain. This is obedience. #5 - Give an offering! This is obedience also. Whatever God tells you to give, give. Offering is if your heart is willing – but what the offering is – is what He tells you. His money, not yours. #6 – Give honor. Give honor where honor is due. Take responsibility, give credit. Be humble – honor those worthy of honor – or those given position by God. Whether you like or agree with them – is immaterial. #7 – Give an Account – know the condition of your flocks - give careful attention to your herds – a detail of transactions. Know where God’s money is – so you can do what He tells you to do with it. Get a 4C’s Tool. #8 - Give your best effort! - I Corinthians 15:58 – Therefore, my dear brothers, stand firm. Let nothing move you. Always give yourselves fully to the work of the LORD, because you know that your labor in the LORD is not in vain. What is the work of the Lord? – whatever God told you to do. His assignments for you, not yours #9 – Give your life - Romans 12:1 - present your bodies as a living sacrifice… this is your time – PiVAT - the essence of life – directed by Him. #10 – Give more than you receive – not expecting anything in return. When you work, always give more than you are getting paid. And God will make sure you get a raise. If you're trading - don't get cheated, but always give them the bigger piece. And God will make sure you get what you need. God said it is more blessed to give than to receive, and He said when you give don’t let your right hand know what your left hand is doing. And #11 – Give no thought. Those who give thought – won’t give. Matthew 6:31 – So do not worry, saying, “What will we eat?” or “What will we drink?” Or “What will we wear?” These things dominate the thoughts of the unbelievers, and your heavenly Father already knows that you need them. But seek first His kingdom and His righteousness, and all these things will be added to you as well. So do not worry about tomorrow; for tomorrow will care for itself. Praying that you will be givers, that you will Give Praise, and Thanks and Honor, and Glory, that you will give your tithe, the offering of His choosing, honor where its due, an account of God’s money, your best effort in everything God told you. That you would give your entire life! That you would always give more than you receive, and that you would give no thought to tomorrow because His provision is already waiting for you! He promised. God said - Freely you have received, freely give. Praying that you will give just what He says, and that you will give - like His supply never ends. Love you all, dad
