What is left is this great abundance...!

II Chronicles 31:5, 9-10, 21 NKJV

As soon as the commandment was circulated, the children of Israel brought in abundance the firstfruits of grain and wine, oil and honey, and of all the produce of the field; and they brought in abundantly the tithe of everything. Then Hezekiah questioned the priests and the Levites concerning the heaps. And Azariah the chief priest, from the house of Zadok, answered him and said, “Since the  people began to bring the offerings into the house of the Lord , we have had enough to eat and have plenty left, for the Lord has blessed His people; and what is left is this great abundance.” And in every work that he began in the service of the house of God, in the law and in the commandment, to seek his God, he did it with all his heart. So he prospered.

Shalom! Day #145. Do you know that blessings begin to flow when we give back to God our first fruits? Let's pray. Father, forgive us for robbing you all this while in neglecting to bring our tithes and offerings before You. We repent. Lord, we pray that You would give us a new heart, a heart that give cheerfully. In Jesus name we ask and pray, amen!

Blessings begins to flow when we begin to give cheerfully. Why there is always lack in our finances no matter how much money we earn? The reason is we are not bringing our first fruits to God. God says that the the tithes is His. IT BELONGS TO HIM. So if we hold back from returning it back to God, it means we are robbing God. And robbing is a sin! There is a concept known as sow and reap. What you sow, you shall reap back. Many of us are Jimmy. Give me give me my name is Jimmy. We want blessing, but we are not ready to give, not ready to sacrifice. The verse we read says " the children of Israel brought in abundance the firstfruits." Wow... in abundance! Joyfully they gave!

The bible says in :

Luke 6:38 NKJV

Give, and it will be given to you: good measure, pressed down, shaken together, and running over will be put into your bosom. For with the same measure that you use, it will be measured back to you.”

II Corinthians 9:6-8 NKJV

But this I  say: He who sows sparingly will also reap sparingly, and he who sows bountifully will also reap bountifully. So  let each one give as he purposes in his heart, not grudgingly or of necessity; for God loves a cheerful giver. And God is able to make all grace abound toward you, that you, always having all sufficiency in all things, may have an abundance for every good work.

You have to give first, then it will be given to you. You have to sow the seed first then you are able to reap the harvest. There will be enough and plentiful for you when God begins to bless you because you gave, because you've sowed. A cheerful giver is not calculative in giving. No matter what you receive, learn to give. Are we giving our tithes monthly? Only God knows. Give what you have, and God will make sure you shall not be in lack in anything.

Let this day be the day of the Lord!
