Luke 6:38


Luke 6:38
New King James Version (NKJV)
38 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.”




In a time where it has been hard to get let alone to give, we must realize that there is an order into receiving blessings.


Aside from prayer, you have to be willing to give whether it is giving of your money as offering to your church or volunteering your time to help others. One of the biggest ways to prevent unnecessary financial obligations from pilling on is to tithe to your church. Unfortunately to so many Christians do not tithe because they think it was only meant for those in the Old Testament times. Contrary to popular belief, tithing is still to be practiced-where do you think the money to fund the church and the church activities come from? Why is it hard to follow such a small yet important part of scripture in order to help your church and be blessed? It’s just a fact that people in general will find any reason as to why they don’t need to “fork over” some money.


Just know that the “devourer” will still come after you and get you to give away the money that should have gone to tithing but now has to go to a car repair shop or a past due electric bill. Either way, that money will leave you with the latter being stressful and more costly.
