The principle of giving is one of the basic principles that God has laid down for the interest of His children. God wants us to be successfull and be wealthy, so much so that we will have the ability to lend to nations. However, the measure of God’s generosity to us is decided by our generosity to Him.
All of the principles of the Almighty God are very simple and straightforward. One of the principles we will be looking at today simply says Give and it shall be given to you. That means we have to give for you to receive.
Unfortunately, as easy as this principle is, a lot of Christians don't apply it, because from the bottom of their hearts they do not believe it.
When you sow a seed, you can never reap the same seed you gave out. For instance, a farmer who plants a water an orange seed will reap multiple water orange with so many seeds in them; everything from that single seed.
That is the definition of good measure. God continuously multiples whatever you give Him, and also God never owes anyone. He continuously pays back His what he owes and that is the reason why Genesis 8:22 says that seedtime and harvest will never cease.
If you are faithful the time you are supposed to be sowing sees, you can rest assured that God will be faithful enough to give you your due harvest.
Why do a lot of individuals sow without receiving in good measure? This might be because they do not give willingly.
The Bible lets us know that we must not give grudgingly or as if we are under compulsion. In other words, for us to reap the good of our sowing, it must be done cheerfully from the heart.
Our God loves a cheerful giver, and not those who give as though that were been come to compel, and for this reason, aside from the fact that you have to give with all your heart, you also have to do it joyfully.
Do you know that if you murmur to give an offering, you are just wasting your money? That kind of contribution isn't accepted by God, it is better you don't give it at all.
Correct your behavior to giving from today. Whenever you have the chance to give, just have it at the back of your mind that when you give joyfully, you will also receive in good measure.
