Giving is a fundamental natural and spiritual requirements for financial increase. If you really desire financial blessings and increase, believe me, you must learn to give and do that continuously, generously and cheerfully because the more you give, the more you’ll receive.
2 Corinthians 8:7 NLT says
Since you excel in so many ways—in your faith, your gifted speakers, your knowledge, your enthusiasm, and your love from us—I WANT YOU TO EXCEL ALSO IN THIS GRACIOUS ACT OF GIVING.
The result which the act of giving will produce, other things like knowledge, enthusiasm, etc may not produce it. So, scripture admonish us that as we strive to grow and excel in faith, in speaking, in knowledge, in enthusiasm and in love, we should also take conscious diligence to grow in giving too.
If you grow in other areas of your life but not in giving, you will receive the reward only in those areas but the result that giving brings will be lacking. This simply explain the law of seed time and harvest (Genesis 8:22).
You don’t need to have everything before you start learning to give. Surely, we all have something to give. So, start from where you are. As little as #500 may seem to you, it could be the saving grace of someone. So, at your level, look for people who needs help and be a blessing to them. If you observe that someone needs help or you’re led to help them, don’t wait until they ask. Just give without expecting a reward from the same person or people and God will bless you in return.
Give to the less privileged and the needy; give to God’s work, the church, the gospel and to the body of Christ. Give and expect a return only from God. If you want more financial blessings, then you should also grow in giving.
