DON’T GIVE TITHES OR OFFERINGS…

I used to be one of many people that didn’t give offering “honestly”. Sometimes while giving I thought about how much I should give because a bill needs to be paid and something else could be done with the money. If you ever felt this way when giving tithes or offering PLEASE STOP KEEP YOUR MONEY! Yes, I said keep your money, what you will be doing is setting your self up for poverty. Let me explain, When you give with that mind set of lack and resentment you are not giving freely. Galatians 6:7-8: “Be not deceived; God is not mocked: for whatsoever a man soweth, that shall he also reap. For he that soweth to his flesh shall of the flesh reap corruption; but he that soweth to the Spirit shall of the Spirit reap life everlasting.” You will reap what you sow, would you plant seeds thinking that it wont grow? Wouldn’t you give it the sun light and water that it needs to grow? When you plant seeds you expect a plant to grow because there is no doubt in your mind to think other wise. That is how your faith should be. When you give your tithes, offerings or give to anyone you are planting a seed and your thoughts, words and faith represents the soil, sun and water. You will get back what you give with the same energy you give it. When you give while worrying about a bill you are mocking God. Remember God hears our thoughts even when we are not praying. He gives us the desires of our hearts. If you are thinking about how much you need money instead of asking our father you are not standing on God’s promises. Begin to stand firm on your faith, give and it will come back to you!
