Generous Child
There are many good reasons for being generous. Proverbs 11:24-25 says, "One man gives freely, yet gains even more; another withholding unduly, but comes to poverty. A generous man will prosper; he who refreshes others will himself be refreshed." It seems strange that holding back will lead to poverty. Natural wisdom would say, "Whatever is held back to lead to poverty. Natural wisdom would say, "Whatever is held back is saved, providing, because poverty is more than lack of materials well-being. You can be spiritually impoverished as well. In Exodus, the Lord gave the people what they wanted, but sent leanest, or poverty, to their souls. There are many people today who are rich in things, but impoverished in soul;. When all we do is feed ourselves by withholding what we could have given away, self-grows. Selfish pride grows. Independence grows. These are characteristics that will separate us from God, and leave us spiritually impoverished.
Church Needs Help
Giving of ourselves and our resources is an important part of our lives. We reap many benefits as we give with a pure heart. This is categorized into different areas of financial giving for Christians in six ways. If you have an inclination to give to one of these categories, you will probably be reluctant to move your giving into another category. That other area will require additional funds. For instance, one of the categories is mission. If you give a certain amount to missions, and your church starts a building fund, you will not sacrifice your missionary giving for the building fund. This is true of all the areas of giving.
