TOPIC: WHEN THE GIVER DELIGHTS IN HIS GIVING
TEXT: 2 COR 9:7: Every man according as he purposeth in his heart, so let him give; not grudgingly, or of necessity: for God loveth a cheerful giver.
Brethren, have you ever been in church when a special offering was being taking and thought like this came into your mind, “I have given a lot this month, and financially I am tapped out. Let somebody else do the giving today? But do you realize that if somebody else do the sowing, somebody else will reap it for you. Is that okay with you? Child of God.
Paul said “Let us not be weary in well doing; for in due season, we shall reap, that is, we faint not (Gal 6:9). Note child of God that there is a date schedule for your harvest but the only thing that will keep you from not reaping it is if you get cynical discouraged or impatient. When someone has a need, or a letter arrives asking for your help, ask yourself, “Could this be God giving me a chance to schedule another harvest? Note that, “offerings are not how God gets blessings to you”. As Paul said to the Corinthians, “Take plenty of time to think it over and make up your own mind what you will give. For God loves it when the giver delights in His giving” (2 Cor 9:7). Remember your giving” is the bridge to your future. God bless you.
