“Investment” <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

“Upon the first day of the week let every one of you lay by him in store, as God hath prospered him, \u2026” I Corinthians 16: 2a “Give, and it shall be given unto you; good measure, pressed down, and shaken together, and running over, \u2026 ” Luke 6:38a <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

These two verses, taken together, confirm God’s faithfulness to those who invest properly. First, the standard is as God has prospered one, and second, the attitude is, it will be given to the giver. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

In the first place, our giving should exceed the Old Testament tithe, for grace is the new arena in which we serve God.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In the second place, we should trust God to meet our needs in the giving process. It is untrue to say, “I cannot afford to give.” If God honors faithful giving, and, He does, then He can be trusted to make up any deficiency we might experience when we give to the level He requests. I have never known a tither and giver who would say, “God never met my needs.” Remember, the attitude of a giver is based upon the person’s level of gratefulness for what God has done for him or her. Unthankful people are usually stingy and selfish. They \u2022 think only of themselves, not of others, and they certainly do not trust God to meet their needs. It is all about them, not about obedience to God or helping others. Invest wisely, and your returns will be vast! Remember: ” \u2026he which soweth bountifully shall reap also bountifully.” And, ” \u2026God loveth a cheerful giver” (II Cor. 9:6b & 7b). \u2014G.G. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
