1. SPIRIT OF EXPECTANCY AS YOU PLOUGH IN HOPE: Proverb. 23:18; Luke 6:38
When you give to God, He wants you to be an expectant. Don’t just give but give with great expectation because he has promises attached to giving unto Him. Therefore let there be strong faith in you when you give.
“Faith is the mother of expectation and expectation is the mother of manifestation”.
2. A SPIRIT OF TRUTH: Acts. 5:1-3
God does not force you to give, so when you give let’s give with the spirit of truth, no deceit, no false impression because God cannot be fooled.
3. A SPIRIT OF PURPOSE:
Deuteronomy. 8:18
One of the purposes of giving is to connect to God’s blessings for us. Therefore when you give purposefully it will affect what you give and how you give.
4. A SPIRIT OF PURITY:
Psalm. 24:3-5
Our God is a Holy God and in Him there is no filthiness, so therefore always give with a heart of purity. Give an Holy sacrifice, pleasing and acceptable unto God.
5. SPIRIT OF SACRIFICE:
Hebrew 11:17-19
The more painfully you give, the more abundance of blessings awaits you. God said “Test Me”. So give sacrificially to move God to the fulfillment of His Promises.
6. SPIRIT OF COMPASSION:
Matthew 23:23
Do not give arrogantly like the Pharisees but always give with a heart of compassion, be humble so that God himself can lift you up
Conclusion
“The essence of giving is the Heart of the giver.” God is not hungry neither does He need our money or substances. He asks us to give so he can bless us. He can’t give you more if you don’t let go of the ones in your custody.
Happy Sunday. Stay blessed
