GENEROSITY
What is Generosity?
Generosity is a show of being unattached to material possessions, by giving gifts, time, money, food or showing kindness kindness to people in need.
If you have more money than you can spend on yourself, the question is how can you be compassionate, intelligent and foresighted in distributing it?.
In other words, the problem of how to spend wisely and compassionate sets in. This however is for those who have in abundance, we would also see if people with little or just enough needs to be generous.

Now let's look at what the Bible says about Generosity.
Malachi 3: 10 - 12 (KJV)
- bring ye all the tithes into the storehouse, that there may be meat in mine house, and prove me now herewith, saith the Lord of hosts, if I will not open you the windows of heaven and pour you out a blessing, that there shall not be room enough to receive it.
11 . And I will rebuke the devourer for your sake and he shall not destroy the fruits of your ground, neither shall your vine cast her fruit before the time in the field, saith the Lord of hosts.
12 . And all nations shall call you blessed, for ye shall be a delightsome land, saith the Lord of hosts.
This passage is talking about our 10% (tithe), it shows us the promise of God to does who fulfil this by giving unto the Lord. God doesn't need our money but wants us to do it.
It's like a test for us, if we can bring out of what he has given us back to him.it shows love and it would serve as a covenant between God and Man, whenever we are in need.we might think our salary is small, giving out of it is a test from God and he never fails.
God is not a man, that he should lie, neither the son of man, that he should repent, hath he said, and shall he not do it?

Man is a creature made up by blood, and soul but God is spirit, eternal, immense and infinite.
Check more about God and his promises in Psalm 89:35, Malachi 3:6, Luke 21:33, Titus 1:3
With these few bible verses above I hope we can see that God always fulfill his words.
In this Chapter we have established some things which are:
- What is Generosity
- What God says about Tithe
- Promises of God on Tithe giving
- God always fulfill his promises
- God is not a Man .
Let me leave you with this saying.
