RULE THE WORLD BY YOUR GIVING!

TO THE BIBLE: 2 Corinthians 9:7 AMP

“Let each one [give] as he has made up his own mind and purposed in his heart, not reluctantly or sorrowfully or under compulsion, for God loves (He takes pleasure in, prizes above other things, and is unwilling to abandon or to do without) a cheerful (joyous, “prompt to do it”) giver [whose heart is in his giving].”

LET’S TALK

This scripture above is a spiritual principle that is guaranteed to always produce results: “Let each one [give] as he has made up his own mind and purposed in his heart, not reluctantly or sorrowfully or under compulsion, for God loves (He takes pleasure in, prizes above other things, and is unwilling to abandon or to do without) a cheerful (joyous, “prompt to do it”) giver [whose heart is in his giving]” (2 Corinthians 9:7 AMP).

Take the experience of Solomon for an example. The Bible records in 1 Kings 3:4 that he offered a thousand burnt offerings to God, and this moved the Lord to visit him that same night: “…the Lord appeared to Solomon in a dream by night. And God said, Ask what I shall give you” (1 Kings 3:5 AMP). He got a blank cheque from the Lord for his big giving. This clearly shows that no matter how big we give, we can never out-give God. Make up your mind this year to give bigger than you’ve ever done.

Your giving begins with giving to God that which belongs to Him. That means your firstfruit offerings and tithes. When you do this, He’ll surely multiply your seeds sown and increase your capacity to give, and you’ll have more and more.
