- Your willingness to give cheerfully is more important than the amount you give.
- Strive to fulfil your financial commitments
- If you give to others in need, they will in turn help you when you when you are I need.
- Give as a response to Christ, not for anything you can get out of it.
Dearly beloved.
The Bible says in 2 Corinthians chapter 9:7 “Every man according as he purposeth in his heart, so let him give; not grudgingly, or of necessity: for God loves a cheerful giver”.
How we give reflects our devotion to Christ. Our attitudes when we give is more important than the amount we give.
We don’t have to be embarrassed if we can give only a small gift. God is concerned about how we give from the resources we have.
Furthermore, in 2 Corinthians chapter 9:10 says “Now he that ministered seed to the sower both minister bread for your food, and multiply your seed sown, and increase the fruits of your righteousness”.
Meaning, God gives us resources to use and invest for Him. In this verse Apostle Paul used the illustration of seeds to explain that the resources God gives us are not to be hidden or wasted, rather they should be cultivated in order to produce more crops.
When we invest what God has given us in His work, He will provide us with more to give.
