The Bible says, ‘whoever sow generously will also reap generously. Each man should give what he has decided in his heart to give, not reluctantly or under compulsion, foe God loves, a cheerful giver. And God is able to make all grace abound to you, so that in all things at all times, having all that you need, you will abound in every good work….you will be made rich in every way so that you can be generous on every occasion’ (2 Corinthians 9:6-11). DO IT WHILE YOU STILL CAN
Are you are a cheerful giver or a fearful giver? It’s not that we’re greedy or opposed to supporting God’s work; we’re just concerned that if we don’t look out for our own interests, they might not get looked out for all. But such fear is irrational! It’s like a farmer, who, out of fear of losing his seed, refuse to plan his fields. Don’t hoard the seed God intends to be sown foe the harvest He wants you to have. God’s promise to you is, if you saw generously you’ll reap generously,’ when you make giving to God your first priority, you don’t have to fear. TAKING PERSONAL RESPONSIBLITY
But seek first the kingdom of God and His righteousness, and all these things shall be added to you. (Matthew 6:33). When you strive to be a faithful conduit for His kingdom, God promises to ‘increase your store of seed.’ And it gets better: ‘you will be made rich in every way.’ When you partner with God, He rewards you abundantly for every good deed.
When you view your money from God’s perspective, the thing to fear isn’t giving away too much but sowing too little!
