IOI CHRISTIAN MORNING MEAL
TOPIC: TRUTH ON CHRISTIAN GIVING
talking from last week....
Today is the point Seven.
7. THE BIBLE TEACHES THAT CHRISTIAN GIVING SHOULD BE DONE IN ACCORDANCE WITH OUR MEANS.
Paul is quite clear on this: "For if the readiness is present, it is acceptable according to what a person has, not according to what he does not have" (2 Corinthians 8:12).
Put another way Paul is saying that you should give in proportion to what God has given you. He said it this way in 1 Corinthians 16:2, "each one of you is to put aside and save, as he may prosper." This means at least two things:
(1) Since we are all supposed to give proportionately, those who have more money are expected to give more [we who are particularly blessed materially must remember this], and
(2) The Lord never asks us to give what we do not have, or contribute beyond our means.
Are you really giving in proportion to the material blessings that the Lord has given you?
LET US PRAY
MAY THE LORD JESUS MAKE YOU A GIVER AND NOT A BEGER IN JESUS NAME
