The principle of giving
True giving is sharing
of ones talent, blessings, time, benefits or resources with
others for the distinctive purpose to strengthen them,
without any sense of reward or pay back. Giving is privilege
to the giver because, it expresses the capacity in the giver
to see beyond limitations into the abilities of infinite
love and comfort. Giving is a gift and key to living the
promises of God here on earth. Whenever we give our
offering, for example in the Church or under normal
situations, we must always thank God for the opportunity to
promote His word or agenda with the finances or resources He
has placed in our care to help others. Whenever, we give,
always ask Him to release more into your hands to enable us
expound or increase our giving into His good works. Do not
give and only ask for returns, but first link His blessings
on the offering to do His will, which is the promotion of
the Gospel. This way, He would mightily trust His wealth
into our hands with His supreme guide over our lives and
family, because our heart concern is to show His living
glory in our life to others in humility and love. Giving is
another form of worship, because you are using His wealth to
praise or appreciate His works in our lives. Nothing ever
used to promote the gospel of Christ is lost. As fact, it is
the best investment, whose yield never ends. Importantly,
always give from your heart with joy in Christ Jesus and
quote a verse or related verses from the Holy Bible on your
offering. This way, your offering is not to man and any
Church official that tries to use the tools of God's works
for personal gain, would face the direct wrath from God. In
most cases, they cannot use your offering for personal
agenda, because the binding power of the verse you read on
your offering will overcome all devilish manipulations
against the works of God, which the offering is meant for.
Although, ministers are to live by the gospel, but the clear
distinction of what the Church appropriates to ministers is
not an allowance to covet the divine mission of God to
selfish end. Giving is freedom to the giver, because by
giving happily, the giver gains free access to the unending
treasures of God. The reason is that, as one stretches his
or her hands of compassion to others, God’s victory in such
circumstance is displayed and some people would recognize
this and praise God in their hearts for His service through
the kind person. Now, because God receives the glory, He
would double His efforts or benefits through that person,
who has opened themselves up for the living God to express
His goodness through to others in love. By giving, you are
expounding your financial and influential capacity. Giving
is a blessing because you are saying; your sustenance is
continuous and flows according to the wealth of God in you.
Giving is an expression of true love, which means, you are
tapping into the peace and everlasting joy of God into our
life and future generation. Finally,
giving is the statement of abundance and not lack, because
the giver only recognizes the ability to spread happiness
into situation of others from the abundance he or she
has from the heart. It is
heart and act issue of confidence, of wealth, of peace, of
kindness and of faith in God, whose resources is infinite.

obedience to God in Christ Jesus is the source."
