Proverbs 3:27-28 (AMP) “27 Withhold not good from those to whom it is due [its rightful owners], when it is in the power of your hand to do it. 28 Do not say to your neighbor, Go, and come again; and tomorrow I will give it–when you have it with you.”

Jesus said that one day everyone will stand before Him and have to give an account of the good they done while here on earth. As a matter of fact He said that many will say on that day that they done great works in His name; driving out demons and healing the sick, but they did not care for others in need. When the fire of God is burning in your heart, you will be compelled to give and share with others. Amen!

SEVEN
GLORIES OF THE GIVER

Those who do
not give are like dustbins.

Be an
incurable giver

  1. 1.
    DIVINE BREAKTHROUGH GENESIS 18: 1-14

Abraham saw and ran after strangers to entertain them. He was a voluntary
giver. What he had been waiting for, for 25 years came that day. Givers do not
know the day when the breakthrough will come.

  1. 2.
    DIVINE PRESERVATION (THE WIDOW OF
    ZAREPHATH) 1 KINGS 17:8-16.

Why did God send Elijah to the widow? God knew she was a giver; she was
saved with her household.

Be an obsessed giver.

God will preserve a passionate giver.

  1. 3.
    DIVINE TREASURER 2 KINGS  4:8-17

The Shunammite woman voluntarily gave to Elisha. She gave food, then a
home. God gave her what money cannot buy: A
Child.

 

  1. 4.
    OVERFLOWING GLORY 2 CHRONCLE 1:6-12

Solomon receive a blank cheque from
God

Solomon gave 1000 burnt offerings to God

God gave him a blank cheque.

God asked him to ask whatsoever he wanted.

He asked for divine treasure of wisdom; God gave him more than he asked
for.

  1. 5.
    DIVINE ATTENTION MARK 12:41-44

Widow’s mite.

God pays attention to giving. When the widow gave all that she had; Jesus
called the disciples to see what the widow did.

God knows our ability.

  1. 6.
    DIVINE VISTATION ACTS 10:1-4

and paid them a visit.

    IRREVERSIBLE BLESSING AND BLESSING THAT
    OUTLIVES THE BLESSED
