“Give, and it will be given to you. A good measure, pressed down, shaken together, and running over, will be poured into your lap. For with the measure you use, it will be measured to you.” Luke 6:38 (NIV)
Are you thankful for the gift of giving God has blessed you with?
It is a gift if you love to give and bless others.
Think about the people you know who keep their fists clenched tight and think it’s foolish when you give so much to the church or charities.
There are multitudes of ways we can give to others and be a blessing to them. And it is not always money!
We can:
- Bless others with our gifts of a smile, a word of encouragement, or a meal.
- Entertain others with your talents of singing, reciting poetry, playing a musical instrument, or baking cookies.
- Utilize our skills to help someone become more marketable.
Remember that we return our tithe and give an offering. The tithe is our debt to Jehovah and the offering is our thanksgiving.
The tithe or ten-percent belongs to God and we should thank Him for giving us the ninety-percent to use any way we wish.
Our blessings and favor come from the offerings we give out of sacrifice, love, obedience, and faith.
Because we believe God’s Word, we should never stop giving due to changes in our financial situation. Put Yahweh to the test and discover that He works it out every time!
I have seen the blessings in my life from my giving and have experienced God provide me with more as I gave more.
I have also seen Elohim attack the devourer on my behalf (The law of giving works).
Do not fall ploy to Satan’s tricks, lies, and deceptions.
Believe God.
Believe the words that started this blog off – “Give, and it will be given to us, a good measure, pressed down, shaken together, running over – will be poured into your laps.”
Help us, Lord, to remember that when we open our fists to give to others, it also opens our hands to allow others to pour into them.
We are givers!
We are blessed with the gift of giving.
“Bring the whole tithe into the storehouse, so that there may be food in my house, and test me now in this, says the LORD of hosts, if I will not open for you the windows of heaven and pour out for you a blessing until it overflows.” ____________Malachi 3:10 (NASV)
