Giving is a matter of faith ,not a matter of what we have.As the scenario follow,here is a spiritual principle you will disagree with unless you have faith.

After you have given one steemit dollar in tithe out of your ten steemit dollar income ,the nine dollars left -with Gods blessing on it -will go farther towards meeting your needs than the ten dollar without Gods blessing.
No mathematical lecture in the world unless he or she is a tithe Christian would agree with this principle.The natural understanding says that a ten steemit dollars will provide more than the nine steemit dollars.That is agreeable unless the Lord's Jesus miracle of multiplication is on the the nine steemit dollars which are left.It will be,if you are a tithe giver

In John 6 :9 a little boy gave Jesus a faith offering of his five loaves and two fishes,it was all he had.

Let look at this ,What happened to the little boy ? Did he go hungry?No! When Jesus Christ blessed his offering ,it turned five loaves and two fishes to feed five thousand people ,plus the little boy.Then Jesus took up another offering of the bread and fish left over-and it was able to filled twelve basket full.
The little boy willing gave five loaves and two fish and He got twelve basket of bread and fish.That is how God multiplies back blessing and wealth to the giver.

THE MEASURE OF OUR GIVING

Is there any great giver? Yes ,the little widow who only had two mites ,about one penny -and she gave it.Jesus said,"..... This poor widow has given more than all the rest of them combined"
God measures our giving by what we have left,not what we are putting in the offering.
The more we complain we are not having therefore ,squeezing our hands in giving denies us of the blessing promised to the givers.

Covetouness can easily overtake us if we don't learn this important principle in kingdom economics:"Give and it shall be given unto You!"
If we hold on to our lives ,we will surely lose them ,and if we hold onto our money ,we will end up looking that too.By giving away what we have we will experience Gods increase as never before.Many of us have very little because we not generous with what we have .let give and it shall be given unto us.
There is no better way to overcome covetouness than by learning to be generous with what you have.

There is more blessing in giving than receiving, our heavenly father is ready to bless us ,let learn to bless someone by giving and surly we all be a blessing.
Many thanks to @sirknight for being a blessing to many Christian steemians worldwide ...God richly bless you sir....

The Old Testament has way more commands about financial giving – who, when, and how much – than the New Testament. Maybe the New Testament writers just assumed that as God had given far more to us in the New Testament – giving Himself to death – that our giving should follow fairly logically and easily. But, just in case we might miss the link, there are clear New Testament commands also (e.g. 1 Corinthians 1:2). As all of God’s commands are given to enhance our lives, obeying this command will increase our happiness.

The act of giving is of faith, and there is more blessings in giving than to received says the Lord. We as Christians must inculcate this habit in our Christian life. Thanks for sharing this write-up @Odsam2
