God's Glory Church

Do you know someone who is constantly sharing something with others?

They are generous with their words, selfless with their time and generous with their money. And yet it seems that they always have something more to give.

The author of the book of Proverbs, who is traditionally considered to be King Solomon, said:

“The desires of the righteous bring them blessings, the desires of the wicked bring God’s wrath.”
Proverbs 11:25

King Solomon understood generosity. At most, the Scriptures tell us this: “King Solomon became the richest and wisest among all the kings of the world.” (1 Kings 10:23). But he was also generous: he spent years of his life financing and building the temple in Jerusalem, and he also shared the knowledge he gained with other people.

Some of the most miserable people on earth are also selfish. But if you’ve ever been generous in your life—giving money, sharing your experiences, giving time, opening your home, or providing spiritual, emotional, and physical support—you know from experience that he who renews others will be renewed.

Of course, we should not give to receive. And we must also apply God’s wisdom when it comes to setting boundaries and preventing burnout. But Jesus is the King of the inverted Kingdom, in which:

Last will be first.
The eldest will be the servant.
He who gives his life will save it.

Jesus even told a story about a poor woman who gave the most because she gave all she had (Mark 12:41-44).

To be generous, it is not necessary to be rich, it is enough to have a heart that is ready to serve.

Therefore, today, instead of scarcity thinking, we have abundance thinking. Our God has unlimited power, authority and resources.
