Reflections

Givers will be blessed both here and in heaven. Luke 6:38 (NIV) Give, and it will be given to you. A good measure, pressed down, shaken together and running over, will be poured into your lap. For with the measure you use, it will be measured to you.”

Now I want to clarify that I am not teaching a hyper-prosperity doctrine. That teaches: the more you give the more God will bless you materially, regardless of your attitude. It is giving so that you may get. Often that promotes greed.

But the Bible teaches that we should give unto God for His purposes, not so that we can get a multiplied return. And when we give with the right heart, not in greed, God will bless the most. It could be materially, emotionally, spiritually or in heavenly rewards. When our heart is right, we will have no problems giving even if God does not bless us materially as we may hope.
