What do you see?
God revealed himself to the prophet Jeremiah by asking him exactly what he saw in his life.
God has a specific message for each of us. Just as Jeremiah saw his promises fulfilled despite the hostile environment around him
Principles of generosity
A generous life leads to an abundant life
If we apply the principles of God, it opens the promise of God in our lives.
Principle of the “first fruits”. Honoring God first
Malachi 3 10 Bring the full tithe into the storehouse, that there may be food in my house. And thereby put me to the test, says the Lord of hosts, if I will not open the windows of heaven for you and pour down for you a blessing until there is no more need. Tithing is a biblical principle that when applied, will ALWAYS trigger God’s blessing
A generous heart is a surrendered heart
King David was giving out of his personal wealth to build something he was not even going to see accomplished but he still proceeded to give Glory to God! When your heart is surrendered , you WANT to give Glory to God , even through your giving.
Living a generous life leaves a lasting LEGACY “I am watching over my word to perform it.”
Generosity is not a given amount, it’s a principle that we need to apply in our daily lives.
God challenges us to “test” him in this, I challenge you today to start living a generous life, and see how God will live up to his promises!
2 Corinthians 8 7 Since you excel in so many ways—in your faith, your gifted speakers, your knowledge, your enthusiasm, and your love from us —I want you to excel also in this gracious act of giving. (NLT)
You want to be part of the blessing? “I see an almond branch.”
God is in the business of fulfilling his word among us! God see’s things when we still don’t get it or acknowledge it! God is going to make things blossom even in the middle of the snow!
But we need to decide are we going to be a part of it? Are we going to get our heart in the right place?
