Every
man according as he purposeth in his heart, so let him give; not grudgingly, or
of necessity: for God loveth a cheerful giver (2 Corinthians. 9:7).
Whenever God asks you to
give Him something you cherish dearly as a seed, be prepared to do it. Someone
may unwisely want to hold on to that thing and struggle with whether or not to
give it. But think about it; can anyone out-give God? He only asks you to give
so you can by so doing, launch yourself into the next level of your prosperity
in Him.
Another reason you must
always be prompt to give is that your financial seeds to God could sometimes
serve as ransom for your life against evil. Proverbs 13:8 says, "The
ransom of a man’s life are his riches…." You need to realize that though Satan
is a defeated foe, he’s a rebel, who continuously seeks to snare God’s people.
Therefore, don’t give him a foothold in your life. Sowing special
seed-offerings is one sure way to silence him and obliterate every hindrance he
places in your way.
Testimonies abound of
people who were healed of terminal ailments after they gave a special
seed-offering. That offering became the ransom for their lives! Don’t hold on
tenaciously to anything God asks you to give, for the promise is to the giver.
Luke 6:38 says, "Give, and it shall be given unto you; good measure,
pressed down, and shaken together, and running over, shall men give into your
bosom. For with the same measure that ye mete withal it shall be measured to
you again."
You place a limit on
God’s ability to provide for you when you’re reluctant to give. Don’t limit God
in your mind! Quit thinking you’ll lose for being a giver, for no one is ever a
fool for faith. Nothing should be too much for you to give to the Lord; be it
your time, money, talent or skills. The beautiful thing is, whatever you give
to Him in faith, He’ll multiply it back to you a hundred times over.
Prayer
Dear Lord, I thank you
for your grace and providence in my life. I’ll give joyfully always, without
holding back, because I recognize that all I have comes from you; you’re my
source, my greatness and my prosperity. I thank you for increasing your grace
and capacity in me to give and be a blessing, in Jesus’ Name. Amen.
