Giving means freely transfer the possession of something to someone. We all need the attitude of giving to others. God expects His children to always give because He is the provider of everything that we have.

Giving is a commandment from God and we must obey it and give to people around us.
John 3:16, "For God so loved the world, that he have his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish but have everlasting life."

In other words,God loves us so much that He didn't want us to perish and be consumed that was why He sent His Son to come and die for us and cleanse us from all of our sins. If not for the love God has for us,He wouldn't have sent His Son to come and pay the price for us and thanks to Jesus too because He was ready to do His Father's will by coming to this earth to pay for our sins.

Since God has given to us,we should also help by giving to people who are in need. As an adage will say, "The hand of the giver is always up" and "Givers never lack". No matter what, when you give to people,they will bless you and you will find yourself progressing in life and never lacking any good thing.
Remember, whatever a man sow,he will also reap.

2Corinthians 9:6-7 says

But this I say,He which soweth sparingly shall reap also sparingly; and he which soweth bountifully shall reap also bountifully.
Every man according as he purposeth in his heart,so let him give; not grudgingly,or of necessity: for God loveth a cheerful giver.

When you give to people, God will also give back to you. And it is what you sow now, you will reap later in future.

When God blesses you Financially, do not raise your standard of Living. But raise your standard of GIVING.

Some people,when God blesses them,they use their wealth to chase people away from them and wouldn't want to help them but remember, it is when you give that you will be given back.

Don't forget that when you want to continuously progress in life,give to people so that they can pray for your success and will never lack.

God is not always happy seeing the children He has bless and wouldn't help his/her neighbour who is in need of something. This makes God angry and would want to transfer His wealth to another person just like He did to the rich man and his wealth in Luke 16:19-31.

He was so rich that he never shared his wealth with Lazarus. Lazarus was a poor man who feed himself from the crumbs that fell from the rich man's table but finally they died and went to their destination. This means that when you have and you didn't give to people, you will be judged.

It is not only when God blesses you before you can give out, you can give even out of the little that you have. An example is the poor woman who left everything she had as offering and when Jesus saw this,He was pleased with the woman (Mark 12:41-44)

You can also be like the woman and don't wait till you have enough. "When you don't give now with the little you have,there is no way you can give out when you have enough".

Remember there are benefits of Giving not only to man but to God. Benefits like;

  • Having peace of mind

  • Open Heaven for you

  • Unmerited grace and favour

  • Prosperity, Long life and good health in wealth. etc

God bless you as you change from not giving to giving out in Jesus name. Give as many as you want to give to people and your reward will be given to you both here on Earth and in Heaven.

GOD BLESS YOU FOR COMING BY
