The Honour in Giving

Most of us know what God’s Word tells us about giving. We’ve

taught this subject a few times ourselves. Our heart is to help

decipher or break what Church tradition teaches about tithing,

offering, and giving. Jesus taught about giving, and that it would

be given back multiplied (Luke 6:37-38). Jesus also taught the

dangers of hoarding up for oneself (Luke 12:16-21). The important

thing for most of us is to keep the Heavenly balance in all we do,

especially in our giving.

But why do we give? Is it protection money to keep the devourer

away (Malachi 3:11) or for God to open the windows of Heaven?

(Malachi 3:10). Most of us, at some point, have had to deal with

the manipulations and condemnations in our past concerning

tithes and offerings. I will say if your church or a ministry is

strong-arming you to give, walk away because building The

Kingdom of God is not first and foremost on their agenda.

Personally speaking, we have the opportunity and honour to give

into our Father’s House, and the rewards we receive, have

received, and will receive cannot be measured in just monetary

value, although that is part of it.

God never meant, nor has He tried to take money or anything

else from us. He doesn’t need our wealth. The Creator already

owns everything (Haggai 2:8, Job 41:11). Of all the reasons

God Almighty desires us to give begins with getting poverty out of

our minds. Poverty is a mindset of limitations. When God says,

“Give to Me,” His desire is not to take it from us, but to inevitably

bring it to us through Kingdom collaboration and stewardship.

Ultimately, God is seeking our heart. For most of us, our hearts are

tied to what we accumulate to a degree. Just being direct here.

In this big Ecclesia picture, people are taught to give but not

instructed how to rule and reign as a joint heir with Jesus Christ.

Most of us know the principles of tithes and offerings, but few

know how to steward the wealth of the Kingdom of God here on

earth. In other words, the Father wants us to be givers so that we

become rulers. We are heirs to the promises, Kingdom ambassadors,

and managers of Kingdom resources, not beggars looking for the

Heavenly handout if God deems us worthy.

We’ve learned how to give but not so much about how to multiply.

As God’s own, we’re not meant to merely survive or even thrive but

to reign and bring circumstance under submission to the power of

God within us.

Personally, we tithe, we give offerings, we sow, all those things. We

are part of a good church that builds churches and supplies

needs for pastors globally, as well as fills the needs in our local

communities. We don’t pay church tax or spiritual protection

money to a heavenly mob boss. We don’t have to give; we get to

give to the Kingdom of God here on earth through our church and

our own ministry. Like Jesus, ours is to build people for Kingdom

inheritance, not monuments to self or past acts and moves of

God.

As we offer all that we are, please remember that God desires His

very best for us all. Let us break the chains of past bondage of

giving from fear to living for the honour of giving, amen.
