Christian giving 2

“For where your treasure is, there will your heart be also.”  Matthew 6:21

If your treasure is there, your heart is there. If your money is there, you are there. You cannot claim to be involved in anything in this world without your money being involved.  It is possible to give as a Christian in kind and not in monetary term alone. One of the breakthroughs in the Yoido Full Gospel Church in South Korea happened when an old woman brought her food plate and chopping sticks as an offering to God. Rich believers bought the little material for millions of dollars.

“Now there was at Joppa a certain disciple named Tabitha, which by interpretation is called Dorcas: this woman was full of good works and almsdeeds which she did.” Acts 9:36

“And he looked up, and saw the rich men casting their gifts into the treasury. And he saw also a certain poor widow casting in thither two mites. And he said, Of a truth I say unto you, that this poor widow hath cast in more than they all:  For all these have of their abundance cast in unto the offerings of God: but she of her penury hath cast in all the living that she had.” Luke 21:1-4

Christian giving is not measured in value alone but also in the level of sacrifice involved. Christian giving is driven by a vision for the things of God. Let God and the people feel you in the church where you worship. May you be a cheerful giver, may you be relevant in the church of God in Jesus name.

Prayer for today: Oh God give me a vision for your house in Jesus name.
