Recap:
If I trust God is truly generous then I get to live like a “river” not a reservoir!
Jesus styled generosity releases extraordinary Joy into our lives because it takes Faith!
Getting Practical – First things First
Jesus:
“But seek first his kingdom and his righteousness, and all these things will be given to you as well.
“But store up for yourselves treasures in heaven… For where your treasure is, there your heart will be also… Matthew 6
“This is how it will be with whoever stores up things for themselves but is not rich toward God.”Luke 12:21
Generosity begins with “bring”, “return,” “give” back to God and His Kingdom. This is the foundation of a generous life!
“Trust in the Lord with all your heart, lean not on our own understanding… Honor the Lord with your wealth the first-fruits of all of your crops” Proverbs 3
“Bring the whole “tenth” into the storehouse….. test Me in this…!” Malachi 3
What about bringing the “first tenth” (tithe)?
It is a matter of Trust which always places us under the waterfall of blessing!
