Now that we've covered God's Financial Plan, Tithes & Offerings, let's talk about how you give, because how you give matters!
God is not concerned about how much your tithe and offering are, but about the condition of your heart. Do you have a heart for God? Do you truly trust God as your source? Since money is the one thing man has the most difficulty letting go of, what you do with your money reveals the condition of your heart to God. As we learn from Matthew 6:19-21 -do you lay up everlasting treasure in heaven in your heavenly bank account, or on earth in the fleeting temporary pleasures of the world?
So when you give, you need to have a heart for God, with an attitude of it being an honor to be able to sow into the work of the Kingdom, and not a motivation of giving just to get.
In the next Post we'll talk about the importance of how you prepare to bring the tithe and give an offering, also a reflection of the condition of your heart.
