HOW CAN I GIVE
CHEERFULLY?
1. Remember it all
comes from God.

seed for the farmer and then bread
to eat. In the same way, he will
provide and increase your
resources and then produce a great
harvest of generosity in you.” 2

guarantee.

in every way so that you
can always be
generous.” 2

eternal reward.

resources to benefit
others... In this way,
your generosity stores
up a reward for you in
heaven." Luke 16:9

3. EXPECT GOD TO
MEET ALL MY NEEDS
“And God will generously
provide all you need.
Then you will always
have everything you
need and plenty left over
to share with others.” 2

WHY IS MY GIVING SO
IMPORTANT TO GOD?
"Bring your whole tithe into the
storehouse... Test me in this, says
the Lord, and see if I will not throw
open floodgates of heaven and pour
out so much blessing that you will
not have enough room for it!"
