The Lord is calling His people
to a new area of Giving. It is more than
resources. It is your time and your
talents. Be assured the Lord will one
day expect an accounting of all that we have done. This accounting is not about obligation but
rewards. He will also in that day check
your motives.
Giving starts with faith which
responds to the word of promise and the expression of divine will. You give because you believe in the Lord’s
abundant harvest and you believe that as you give it will be given unto
you. Next, you give because you love the
Lord. His love has been shed abroad in
our hearts. You know that love gives and
love shares. Thirdly, you give because
of obedience. You are committed to a
higher authority which is the Lord. You
give out of gladness to the divine will.
You have been given so much and in return you give. When you give it adds fruit to your account
and you are sowing into eternity. You
give gladly and cheerfully. Your motives
are one of purity and love to the divine purpose and will. We are called to be stewards of the manifold
grace of God. We chose to give because
He first loved us. You give because you
are a faithful servant. Lastly, we give
out of wisdom. We give according to what
we have and not according to what we do not have. We give our time, talents and resources to
God because He has done so much for us and in return out of love and gratitude
we give for His praise and glory. So
that which we have we give unto Him and bless those around you for the glory of
God.
