TOPIC: TEACHINGS ON GIVING – Why Giving? (12)
MEMORY VERSE:
Acts 20:35.
“35. …, It is more blessed to give than to receive.
BIBLE READING:
Proverbs 11:24
24 Give freely and become more wealthy; be stingy and lose everything. (NLT).
This question might have been bothering you since the beginning of this series. Must i give? Why will I give? If no one is giving me why should I give?
The first reason is this, We give to grow and increase, Yes, we release what we have in order to move forward. Let’s check this scenario. As human, we give out carbon dioxide to take in oxygen. The oxygen sustains us while the plant are sustained by the carbon dioxide. Without oxygen we can’t live, likewise the plants without carbon dioxide. Also, for us to grow in life we need to release something in other to get what will sustain us. You work so you can be paid. We listen, learn, go for formal education, sacrifice our time so we can get knowledge to be better in life. Those who release what they have never lack.
When we plant a seeds, we harvest multiple. Likewise, when we give, we reap back in multiple, so, to have in abundance is to be a giver. Giving is not a waste of resources but a process of investment. Have you being giving? If not, start giving in order to experience abundance.
Good Day and God bless you.
Happy Birthday to all celebrants and Happy Wedding Anniversary to those celebrating today. May you experience God’s fruitfulness in Jesus Mighty name, Amen.
