It is important to teach others to give because there are some spiritual truths that are vital to transfer to the life of every believer, and that can not be learned if it is not through the process of generosity, through the process of giving, and doing so. consistently.
The greatest men and women of God were characterized by their generosity. If we say that the Bible is our guide, and those who are in it, our example, then we have to see in them that vital part of their sacrifice. This is not what everyone would want to see; They want to see the warrior in David, but not the giver, who said he did not want to give God something that did not cost him. We talk about the faith of Abraham, however, Abraham is one of the first in the Bible that teaches us tithing. When you do not see this, you focus on more exciting characteristics, but even our Lord Jesus Christ is the best example of a generous person; He left everything in heaven to come to earth, and here on earth he gave everything, life, for us. So, you have to teach people to give; The great men and women of the word of the Lord, one of its characteristics was generosity.
In the New Testament, we are taught that we have to make treasures in heaven; Our decisions and economic actions cause the sky to be moved in our favor; When you learn to be generous, you accumulate in the spiritual world, an economic bank that nothing can corrupt, nothing can harm, and that assures you that place of blessing when you need it. Everything you do will yield a result, both in the natural and the spiritual world. The Bible tells us to learn to do good, to be rich in good works, to be generous, and to say: Treasuring for a good foundation for the future, speaking specifically about the treasures we have to do in heaven. Unfortunately, the focus of many is on the earthly, where things undergo great changes; But in heaven they do not suffer the dramatic changes that occur here on earth; There is no bad economy in heaven; There is no corruption. For the best administrator you are, things in the natural world have their expiration date, and you have to learn to live with that.
Naturally speaking, the only way to promote the Gospel is through finances. Some do not want to understand, receive, accept this truth, but the only way to do the work we do is through economic resources. The spiritual value of what we do is incalculable, but everything we do costs.
Your gift makes you a more reverent person to God. The Bible clearly says that where your treasure is, your heart is. Your economic decisions revolve around what is your financial priority. Unfortunately, many do not invest what is necessary in the work of God, so their devotion to God is minimal. You can not buy God, but you can show your devotion when in your finances He is also first. And your generosity allows you to enter that level of relationship where there is a depth that did not exist before.
Perhaps you today are not seeing God as He wants to manifest through your gift, specifically in the area of finance. Your reward, what you will receive from God, goes according to your sowing, and not with anything else. Most of the miracles that people expect, go in relation to their gift; That is a reality of God's system. Some people think that God does not care about our relationship with money, but one of the topics that the Bible deals with is precisely that of finance. And what you are going to receive goes 100% in accordance with what you are planting. So, if you want to see God in a special and unique way, it is vital that you learn to sow, give, and be generous. Planting and giving do not exempt you from worshiping, from assembling, from praying, from fasting; But you can not pretend to have the results of the offering, fasting. You have to do everything, to receive every result, and every manifestation of God over your life. And you have never seen God as you can see at the moment you offer. When you learn to be a generous person to God, and to offer to God, you will see him in a special way in your life in all areas. Experience God through your gift; Sowing.
