Giving

What serves as a principle for creation is broadened into a principle for life in Luke 6:38. Jesus said, “Give, and it will be given to you.” By this principle, the thing you give is also the thing you will receive. This is critical to understanding how to fully live as a kingdom steward. If you have a need, make sure you sow a seed in the life of someone else in the same area as your own personal need. Don’t just ask God to meet your need without making sure you plant the seed.

Based on this principle, you can get very specific with God. If you are facing a financial need, look around you and see how you can help someone else financially, even if it’s with a minimal amount. Do you have an emotional need for comfort? Then see how you can comfort someone else. In this passage we discover a powerful tool for accessing the graces of God on a greater, more tangible level. This is when your need is actually in the seed.

The problem today is people want God to manufacture a miracle when they’re unwilling to give what they have to anyone else around them, which usually means they’re not exercising any faith at all, or their motivation has no connection to the glory of God and the advancement of His kingdom. But when God sees faith through our actions and not just our words, He responds.
