You and I are called to be a blessing to others!
Giving is all about attitude.
Paul wrote by The Holy Spirit in 2nd Corinthians chapter 9:
6 Here’s my point. A stingy sower will reap a meager harvest, but the one who sows from a generous spirit will reap an abundant harvest.
7 Each one must give as he has decided in his heart, not reluctantly or under compulsion, for God loves a cheerful giver.
In other Words, let giving flow from your heart, not from a sense of religious duty. Let it spring up freely from the joy of giving—all because God Loves hilarious generosity!
Giving should be intentional “as he has decided in his heart” suggests thoughtful, willing generosity rather than impulsive or forced giving. Giving should not come from pressure or guilt “not reluctantly or under compulsion” means GOD is not pleased by giving driven only by manipulation, fear, or resentment. In essence, GOD values the heart as much as the gift. “God Loves a cheerful giver” points to joy, gratitude, trust, and Love as the proper motivation.
8 Yes, God is more than ready to overwhelm you with every form of grace, so that you will have more than enough of everything—every moment and in every way. He will make you overflow with abundance in every good thing you do.
9 Just as the Scriptures say about the one who trusts in Him: Because he has sown extravagantly and given to the poor, his kindness and generous deeds will never be forgotten.
10 This generous God Who supplies abundant seed for the farmer, which becomes bread for our meals, is even more extravagant toward you. First He supplies every need, plus more. Then He multiplies the seed as you sow it, so that the harvest of your generosity will grow.
11 You will be abundantly enriched in every way as you give generously on every occasion, for when we take your gifts to those in need, it causes many to give thanks to God.
Paul also wrote by The Holy Spirit in Galatians 6:
7 God will never be mocked!
8 The harvest you reap reveals the seed that you planted. If you plant the corrupt seeds of self-life into this natural realm, you can expect a harvest of corruption. If you plant the good seeds of Spirit-life you will reap beautiful fruits that grow from the everlasting Life of the Spirit.
9 And don’t allow yourselves to be weary in planting good seeds, for the season of reaping the wonderful harvest you’ve planted is coming!
10 Take advantage of every opportunity to be a blessing to others, especially to our brothers and sisters in the family of faith!
So, a “stingy sower” would be someone who gives reluctantly, clings tightly to resources, refuses to help others despite having the ability, or gives with a selfish or fearful heart.
The issue is not merely the amount given, but the spirit behind it. Someone with little money can still be generous, while a wealthy person can be stingy.
Stinginess is often connected with lack of trust in GOD’s provision, selfishness,
greed, or lack of compassion.
By contrast, generous sowing reflects faith, gratitude, Love, and trust that GOD is able to provide.
Wisdom wrote in Proverbs chapter 11:
24 Generosity brings prosperity, but withholding from charity brings poverty.
25 Those who live to bless others will have blessings heaped upon them, and the one who pours out his life to pour out blessings will be saturated with favor.
Those walking in Wisdom are those who fully trust FATHER’S Word, especially in the area of giving!
