Jesus thinks in quality and purpose, not quantity!
Whatever we give, it should line up with FATHER’S Divine Intent.
Jesus observed and spoke in Luke chapter 21:
1 And Jesus looked up and saw the rich putting their gifts into the treasury,
2 and He saw also a certain poor widow putting in two mites.
3 So He said, Truly I say to you that this poor widow has put in more than all;
4 for all these out of their abundance have put in offerings for God, but she out of her poverty put in all the livelihood that she had.”
The rich only gave out of their surplus, but the widow sacrificed out of her poverty and gave to God all that she had to live on, which was everything she had.
At Servias Ministries, we appreciate every contribution no matter how large or small the contribution. Our Heavenly Father knows the intent of the giver.
Jesus celebrates quality and purpose!
Many know the act of generosity, but how many know the lifestyle of generosity? There are many things we know how to turn on but some of those things should never be turned off. It’s a way of thinking, a way of seeing… it’s your intent.
When you mind is renewed, the impossible looks logical. Faith doesn’t come from the mind, faith comes from heart. The renewed mind creates a context for faith.
Jesus affirmed this when He spoke in Mark chapter 11:
22 So Jesus answered and said to them, “Have faith in God.
23 For assuredly, I say to you, whoever says to this mountain, ‘Be removed and be cast into the sea,’ and does not doubt in his heart, but believes that those things he says will be done, he will have whatever he says.
Paul wrote by The Holy Spirit in Romans chapter 10:
10 For with the heart one believes unto righteousness, and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation.
It is written by The Holy Spirit in Hebrews chapter 11:
6 But without faith it is impossible to please Him, for he who comes to God must believe that He is, and that He is a Rewarder of those who diligently seek Him.
Giving is a heart issue. Your giving reveals what is in your heart… your intent.
Jesus spoke in Luke chapter 12:
48 Every servant who does not know his master’s will and unwittingly does what is wrong will receive a less severe punishment. For those who have received a greater revelation from their master are required a greater obedience. And those who have been entrusted with great responsibility will be held more responsible to their master.”
It is all about being faithful with what you have. By faith, we understand! Understanding comes after faith. Faith requires an action. The activity of faith will always take you into greater understanding.
The Beloved Disciple wrote by The Holy Spirit in John chapter 6:
22 On the following day, when the people who were standing on the other side of the sea saw that there was no other boat there, except that one which His disciples had entered, and that Jesus had not entered the boat with His disciples, but His disciples had gone away alone-
23 however, other boats came from Tiberias, near the place where they ate bread after the Lord had given thanks–
When were the loaves and fishes multiplied? It was after Jesus had given thanks, not before. What did Jesus give thanks for? He gave thanks for that which wasn’t enough.
When you see the Divine opportunity at hand, thanksgiving starts. When FATHER gives you a dream, expectation is birthed in your heart. As you give FATHER thanks, you set the stage for manifestation of your dream. One aspect of thanksgiving is the tithe. Abraham understood this Truth when he gave Melchizedek the tithe.
Moses recorded by The Holy Spirit in Genesis chapter 14:
18 Then Melchizedek king of Salem brought out bread and wine; He was the priest of God Most High.
19 And He blessed him and said: “Blessed be Abram of God Most High, Possessor of heaven and earth;
20 And blessed be God Most High, Who has delivered your enemies into your hand.” And he gave Him a tithe of all.
Melchizedek instituted Holy Communion with Abraham and at the same time blessed him. Think about it.
