TOPIC: GIVING
TEXT : Malachi 3:8
Will a man rob God? Yet ye have robbed me. But ye say, Wherein have we robbed thee? In tithes and offerings. 3:9 Ye are cursed with a curse: for ye have robbed me, even this whole nation. 3:10 Bring ye all the tithes into the storehouse, that there may be meat in mine house, and prove me now herewith, saith the LORD of hosts, if I will not open you the windows of heaven, and pour you out a blessing, that there shall not be room enough to receive it.
Memory Verse: 2 Corinthians 9:7 Every man according as he purposeth in his heart, so let him give; not grudgingly, or of necessity: for God loveth a cheerful giver
FOCUS
In this series we are going to be looking at ” How does God Prosper ” The kingdom of God has many gates and so also we have many keys that opens the gates. Prosperity is not left out, there are things to do to Prosper and until the right button are pressed you will never get the right results.
This morning we are looking at Giving. God was telling the people in our opening scripture that they have robbed Him and they were bold enough to ask, where have we robbed you? That is why sometimes when you don’t ask questions, you will not get solutions. God answered them; you have robbed me in tithe and in offering. These two are means giving and God wants us to give so that we can get.
Although the primary reason for giving is not to get but there’s no way you will give and not get. So each time you give your tithe, God ensures devourers are far from you and each time you give your offering, the measure you use in measuring for God will be used back for you. Giving is an avenue to be blessed. If you don’t give, you can’t receive; giving is living.
Show me a man that is ready to give and I will show you a man that is ready to live in affluence. God prosper people through kingdom giving; when you give to the kingdom, you get kingdom prosperity.
LESSON
Luke 16:11 If therefore ye have not been faithful in the unrighteous mammon, who will commit to your trust the true riches?
God was generalizing the act of receiving that if you are not faithful with the little in your hands, how will you be faithful with much. There’s unrighteous prosperity and true riches; no wonder the Bible was speaking and said, charge them that are rich in this world that they be not high minded. They must be ready to distribute, they should not hoard. God expects distribution to be a chain not a bus stop. God wants you to give, to circulate whatever He has blessed you with and the more you do that, the more He blesses your resources.
But when you are the type who keeps back, it means you cannot have. God wants us to give according to what He has blessed us with. Who determines the measure? It is us, God will not force you to give what He has not blessed you with. You are the one to decide what you are giving and when you give, give cheerfully. Don’t give as if you are under tension. Give with liberality that you are giving to the kingdom. If you don’t give, you are not likely to get
PERSONAL CONFESSION
I receive a giving grace for divine Prosperity.
PRAYER FOCUS
Father deliver me from evil imagination that will not let me give in Jesus Mighty Name. Amen
FOOD FOR THOUGHT
Giving is Living
The measure of your giving must be proportional to your receiving.
