Be encouraged to embrace giving as a lifestyle and a spiritual duty. The consistency of your giving reflects your trust in God’s provision and your commitment to supporting His work. As you apply the principles mentioned in this article, you will experience the joy of generosity and the fulfilment that comes with honouring God through your finances.
While anybody can get rich by extorting money from others and stealing, you, a child of God, are not to trust it. Why? Because people who practice those things believe that that is a sure way to get rich, which is a fallacy.
Dear one, be decent with how you use money. Pay the price to gain financial wisdom, especially from the Bible and Christian business people, and be conscious of your integrity before the Lord.
Life is in seasons. There are seasons of plenty and seasons where little resources are available. If you don’t grasp this understanding well, you’ll live thinking every day should be evergreen in your life, which you may rarely get.
Kindness pays, especially when expressed to people in need. There is a blessing that comes with it, and that blessing is from the Lord. Even if you can’t afford to dash certain things in your life to the poor, don’t give yourself that excuse to be benevolent in other things unto them. The God who blesses and no man can curse will keep blessing you so you can have more in abundance to share with those in need.
Watch how you sow into God’s kingdom. You may not have as much finance or provision in your life right now. However, the way to come out of it is to have an abundant mindset that blacks out the noise of life issues in your mind. God will surely step up in your case. It is well with you.
If you are going to get the maximum blessing you can ever get for giving in God’s house, you cannot give casually or sparingly. You must give bountifully with intentionality. Add offering to your budget every week. It’s a way God uses to teach you consistency. Become responsible for your finances, dear one.
If you discover in your life that whenever you get something, you want to give to others, it’s a sign that you have giving as your divine gift. So, if that is true for you, then give generously. Don’t complain when you do so because it’ll not help you get the utmost blessing embedded in utilising that gift of yours.
Can God trust you with millions, and you’ll handle it well? According to Luke 16:11, the true riches in God’s kingdom are entrusted, not worked for. Check your heart, dear treasurer, because if you don’t do it, you will indirectly allow the devil to lure you into stealing and think nothing bad will happen to you. May God protect you from greed.
Dear friend, have you owed people for a long time? Are you happy about it? No. Right? Why don’t you determine in your heart to settle every debt you owe, even those from several years ago? Debt is not good as long as you abandon its repayment. It’ll paint a bad reputation for yourself to others, and you’ll lose connections to precious and influential people because of that behaviour.
Child of God, there is a promise from God in Psalm 37:29 that the righteous shall inherit the land and dwell in it forever. It doesn’t say the righteous “may” inherit the land but “shall.” That means it is definitely going to happen. But there is a responsibility on your end as a believer. God is a Spirit, so whatever He sets His heart to do on this Earth will require men to bring it to physical manifestation. Take your place, and don’t settle for less.
Dear friend, the Bible says you must rest in the Lord and wait patiently for Him. In your waiting period, remain at peace, and the way to do that is to cease thinking about the successes of others. Do yourself a favour by praying earnestly for the peace of God to rule in your heart and mind (see Philippians 4:6-7). And don’t rush into things just to please others.
