OUTLINE
Giving is to release one’s possession willingly to another person. It is an act of kindness towards others. God gave us His only begotten Son. To every sacrifice given, there is a string attached. Giving without a purpose or without a willing heart can make it to be unacceptable to God. Sacrificial giving requires total surrender.
God gave us Jesus Christ to die for our sins, to show us the way to Him and to come back and take us to Him. He also gave us His Son to secure eternal home for us in heaven (John 14:1-3). A giver is a sover. The time of reaping will come at an unexpected time. The whole world is undergoing economic meltdown, famine and scarcity. The little you give now can go a long way to save lives (2 Corinthians 9:7-8).
God is able to make all grace abound towards you by making you to have sufficiency in all things. Lack is never a portion of a cheerful giver. In the same vein, God needs our hearts. Give your heart to Him. Jesus is a sacrificial gift to mankind from God. The Almighty told Abraham to give him Isaac, the promised child he had in his old age, and he obeyed to the last instruction. Can you give God your best, even what is most precious to you: your money, house, cars, land? Yes, you can!
But what God requires from you of all these is your heart. A broken and a contrite heart God will not despise. Please read (Psalm 51:17). This is the sacrifice of God. Your body should be a living sacrifice to God, holy and acceptable. This is your reasonable service unto God (Romans 12:1-2). You must be holy. especially you who carry the vessels of God. David was determined not to offer burnt offering unto God that cost him nothing (2 Samuel 24:24).
When you give, especially towards the work of God, to the needy and the poor, it is counted unto you for righteousness. God, in retum, now ministers to your own needs, increases your bread, multiplies your seed sown and increases the fruits of your righteousness. This promise can be found in 2 Corinthians 9:7-12. Our sacrificial giving gives glory to God and blesses us too.
