GIVE FOR THE SPREAD OF THE GOSPEL AND GOD’S KINGDOM

Matthew 6:19-21 (AMPC)

Do not gather and heap up …for yourselves treasures on earth, where moth and rust and worm consume and destroy, and where thieves break through and steal.  But gather and heap up …for yourselves treasures in heaven, where neither moth nor rust nor worm consume and destroy, and where thieves do not break through and steal; For where your treasure is, there will your heart be also.

There is great joy in Heaven when a soul is saved, (Luke 15:7). God wants us to be deliberate about investing our money and resources in things that will bring joy to Heaven and God’s kingdom. Invest your money and resources in things that have eternal value. The Bible speaks about certain women who supported Jesus with their substance, (Luke 8:1-3). Paul spoke very highly of the believers at the Macedonian church for how they gave and supported both him and others, (Phil.4:15). They were so willing to give that they gave joyfully even out of their deep poverty and they were pleading with him for the opportunity to give to bless others, (2Cor.8:1-5). It was the revelation of the grace of God that produced this mindset and attitude in them. Don’t give to show off or to be recognized by men. Jesus said when you do this, you will not get any reward from God the Father, (Matt.6:1-4).

Be willing to give not just your money, but also your time, your energy, and your talent/skills for the spread of the Gospel and the advancement of the kingdom of God. Salvation is free but preaching the Gospel is not cheap. A lot of resources are needed for organizing crusades, conventions, printing of tracts, books, devotionals, sponsoring missionaries, buying airtime on television and radio, building churches, etc. Give to ministers of the Gospel (1Cor.9:11, Phil.4:14-17).

Faith Declaration:
I am a financier of the Gospel and kingdom of God. I give my money, time, energy and talent for God’s kingdom.
