- It is found in 1 Timothy 6:17 Don’t trust in your riches but trust in the living God. Don’t let your money get to your head, thereby looking down on others …for it is God who makes your supply available.
- Do good, be rich in good works , be generous; ready to distribute and willing to communicate (1 Timothy 6:18).
You can have all the money and maintain a humble attitude.
1 Chronicles 29:10-14 Can you still give God His proper place no matter how much you control?
This chapter of 1 Chronicles is what proves David to be a man after God’s heart.
Some people like to come to a place when things are fixed but God cannot do much with them.
The best way to preach is with actions not just word. Sacrifice is not just giving of money but giving of self. You don’t give God things and come to insult Him; He’s the one that gives you the power to make wealth.
We must realize, that money or resources did not evaporate from the earth, they are very much available here on earth, just position yourself to be a channel and God will supply. Being rich or poor is not a ticket to heaven but righteousness is.
Attitude is very important in giving. God is interested in our attitude/motives.
Anyone that practices the points in 1 Timothy 6:17-8 will live in abundance and still have eternal life (Verse 19) when you are giving to God, you are not doing God a favor.
Luke 6:36 money is spiritual first before it’s physical which is the reason why people look for it in the occultic realm through rituals etc.
- Human beings are God’s channel.
Relationships are channels.
