THE HEART OF GIVING
1Corinthians 13:13
[13]And now abideth faith, hope, charity, these three; but the greatest of these is charity.
Basi, sasa inadumu imani, tumaini, upendo, haya matatu; na katika hayo lililo kuu ni upendo.
And most have rejected this discipline of giving, because of wrong perceptions we have had when it comes to offerings.
I want to teach something about THE HEART OF GIVING as a kingdom principle.
There has been a lot of confusion in the many believers, especially when the doctrines of giving is preached
Many don’t look at God, they look at people. They are not giving to God but are giving to men. Their hearts are full of men, this has made their offerings rejected by God, and never received their blessings.
And others don’t give at all because of the concepts they are having in their focus not on God but on things and people.
The scripture that we just read mentions three things that abides forever that is Faith, love and hope.
Hear me it doesn’t matter, how much you say that you trust in God, or you trust God. The fact that you are not willing to give to that God is a pure indication that you trust something else. not God.
Faith will make you a giver, it is the principle of faith.
Whenever Abraham heard the voice of God, he rushed to the offering, every time God spoke to him, he offered something to that voice
Faith offers
Am giving you a principle of the keys to the kingdom
There are several doors in the kingdom that you can’t open unless you are ready to offer something
The way you are willing to give to the blessings you get everyday, indicates your faith in that God.
If any soul is getting what I am saying here let it be healed by this message tonight
Children of God I am crying to your souls that you may understand this, prayers have been done to you, blessings have been spoken over you, but you are still the same and you are even complaining. But have you tried to sow something on that blessing have you tried to sow something on that decree?🤔
Giving means that you believe that you have received
Try sowing, try giving and let’s see if God will not look into your matter
God has surrounded you with values, but He is looking at your response to His gifts around you. How do you treat the place He has set you to, how do you treat the messages He is giving. What have you done that will qualify you for the next level you desire from God.?
Do you really trust those messages, do you really trust that kind of a presence.
When coming to love
Love does not only give but true love must also learn to receive.
God is receiving your offerings, not because He is poor, no. But He is receiving your offering because He loves you.
Whoever loves the giver must also love the gift.
Whoever loves God must receive Jesus Christ and His servants.
When coming to hope
And because God loves you, He receives your offerings no matter how small they seems but before God, it is not small, He does big things out of that offering
Kuna kitu YESU alikisema kwamba mahali hazina ya mtu ilipo ndiko moyo wake ulipo
You have chosen farming, because your hope is in the product of the field, you expect to get something from it.
You only invest where your hope is
If your hope is in God, you will be ready to invest in anything that has to do with the Gospel of Christ.
Any plans that focus on touching lives your heart will be ready to give on that, you will always be at the front line.
