DR. DENNIS INYANGSUNDAY, APRIL 10, 2022TEXT: Prov 11:24-25 (NLT), 2 Cor 8:1-5, 1 Ki 3:3-5, Heb 11:4, 2 Cor 9:5-8, Mal 3:8-12, Deut 16:16#RecapThere are 2 paradigms of prosperity. The world prospers through greed and materialism. In our kingdom, however, we prosper by giving. Generosity unlocks your prosperity.Your liberality is not determined by what you have. It is a function of the state of your heart. No matter how little you have, you can always be generous.Generosity is giving beyond what is required. It is not driven by obligation but affection. The spirit of liberality will always look for opportunities to give.Giving that moves God has to be done by faith. This means giving beyond your ability or current level. It also means giving in expectation of a harvest. What you believe is more important than what you give.Generous giving is intentional. You should be able to plan your giving like any other expense. When giving is planned, it is less likely to be forced or coerced.Difference between giving and sowingYou may give for any number of reasons but you sow for only one - to reap a harvest.Giving benefits the receiver but sowing benefits the sower.You give whatever you have but you only sow the best that you have.You can give to anyone and anywhere but with sowing, where you sow is critical to your harvest.You can give at any time but you only sow in season. Don't miss the season.Giving is at your convenience. Sowing may not. God loves a cheerful giver but accepts a tearful sower.Giving attracts a similar measure of receiving but sowing leads to a multiple-fold harvest.# In the new covenant, we do not tithe to escape a curse (Jesus bore it on the cross) but as an expression of our faith in and love for God.Why you should titheIt is scripturalIt recognizes God as your sourceIt releases your faithIt attracts a blessing
