THE POWER OF GIVING
THE POWER OF GIVING
Beloved, I wish above all things that thou mayest prosper and be in health, even as thy soul prospereth.
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.
Earthly Principle: The more you save is the more you have.
Heavenly Principle: The more you give is the more you receive. We don’t live on savings or salary, we live on incomes.
Attitude of Giving
Every man according as he purposeth in his heart, so let him give; not grudgingly, or of necessity: for God loveth a cheerful giver.
The power of your giving
His seed shall be mighty upon earth:
The generation of the upright shall be blessed.
And he said, Lay not thine hand upon the lad, neither do thou any thing unto him: for now I know that thou fearest God, seeing thou hast not withheld thy son, thine only son from me.
And the king said unto Araunah, Nay; but I will surely buy it of thee at a price: neither will I offer burnt offerings unto the Lord my God of that which doth cost me nothing. So David bought the threshingfloor and the oxen for fifty shekels of silver.
Will a man rob God? Yet ye have robbed me.
But ye say, Wherein have we robbed thee?
In tithes and offerings.
Ye are cursed with a curse: for ye have robbed me,
Even this whole nation.
Bring ye all the tithes into the storehouse,
That there may be meat in mine house,
And prove me now herewith, saith the Lord of hosts,
If I will not open you the windows of heaven,
And pour you out a blessing, that there shall not be room enough to receive it.
And I will rebuke the devourer for your sakes,
And he shall not destroy the fruits of your ground;
Neither shall your vine cast her fruit before the time in the field, saith the Lord of hosts.
And all nations shall call you blessed:
For ye shall be a delightsome land, saith the Lord of hosts.
Your words have been stout against me, saith the Lord.
Yet ye say, What have we spoken so much against thee?
Ye have said, It is vain to serve God:
And what profit is it that we have kept his ordinance,
And that we have walked mournfully before the Lord of hosts?
And now we call the proud happy;
Yea, they that work wickedness are set up;
Yea, they that tempt God are even delivered.
Then they that feared the Lord spake often one to another:
And the Lord hearkened, and heard it,
And a book of remembrance was written before him
For them that feared the Lord, and that thought upon his name.
And they shall be mine, saith the Lord of hosts,
In that day when I make up my jewels;
And I will spare them, as a man spareth his own son that serveth him.
Then shall ye return, and discern between the righteous and the wicked,
Between him that serveth God and him that serveth him not.
I will pay my vows unto the Lord
Now in the presence of all his people.
