God, Giving and Asking
When it comes to your giving and our asking, here are some thoughts on a biblical perspective that we try to follow.
| 1. |
God owns it all (1 Chr. 29:14) |
|
God has provided us with all of our time, wealth, possessions, and resources. God owns everything. These resources are His gifts to us, which God will use to accomplish wonderful things for His kingdom. |
| |
| 2. |
We are to manage God's resources (1 Peter 4:10) |
|
Since God owns everything, Christians are called to be managers or stewards of all God entrusts to them, to honor and glorify Him. |
| |
| 3. |
Why should we give (Psalms 24:1) |
|
Biblical stewardship stems from the understanding that God is the owner of all that we have, and we are managers of God's resources. He has chosen to give us tings to use for His glory. |
| |
| 4. |
Our giving is to God (Rom 12:1, Phil:17) |
|
Giving is a worshipful, obedient act of returning to God from what He has provided. Your giving should be directed to God and His work, not to an organization. Therefore, giving is a spiritual decision. |
| |
| 5. |
God is watching our giving (Rom. 14:12, 2 Cor. 5:10, Luke 16) |
|
From God's kingdom view, our giving becomes a tool to further God's work on earth, a test to see how much responsibility we will be given in heaven, and our giving serves as a trademark of our lives as Christians. |
| |
| 6. |
God is the fund-raiser (1 Chr. 29:9, 2 Cor. 9-7) |
|
When needs are shared, the response is from the heart. God is the only one who stirs hearts and moves spirits. |
