How to give They are many areas where most people don’t realise they need help with and giving is one of such areas. The Bible declares that the disciples came unto Jesus and asked him to teach them how to pray. Luke 11:1 Now it came to pass, as He was praying in a certain place, when He ceased, that one of His disciples said to Him, "Lord, teach us to pray, as John also taught his disciples. The Bible declares that Jesus taught them in regards to prayer how they should pray, saying "Our father in heaven". The Bible declares, Ask and it shall be given unto you, and let every man who lacks wisdom ask God who freely gives and find no faults in him. (Mat 7:7-11, James 1:5). When it comes to giving, the Bible declares that God looks at the heart and God loves a cheerful giver for he gives cheerfully himself (2 cor 9:7) When the Children gave unto the Lord the Bible declares that the offerings which were accepted, were given willingly. Ex 25:3 Then the LORD spoke to Moses, saying: "Speak to the children of Israel, that they bring me an offering. From everyone who gives it willingly with his heart you shall take My offering. And this is the offering which you shall take from them: gold, silver, and bronze; God looks at the heart in case you are wondering what the size of your offering should be. When the people came into the temple to give unto the Lord, the Bible declares Jesus beheld as the people gave, and a certain widow showed up who gave her last mites. The Bible declares she gave the most for out of her need she gave unto the Lord. (Mark 12: 41-44). You may not have much on you or anything at all, but as long as you have a heart to sow, the Bible declares it is God that gives seed to the sower (2nd Cor 9: 10 2 Cor 8:12 12 For if there be first a willing mind, it is accepted according to that a man hath, and not according to that he hath not. You may say to me "I don’t have anything to give financially, well the Bible says they first of all offered themselves to God (2nd Cor 8:5). It may surprise you to know that God acknowledges the fact that you may not have seed to sow based on 2 Cor 8:12. Never allow condemnation or manipulation creep on you based on your inability to give to God. If he needs a sacrifice, he’ll provide a lamb like he did with Abraham. Luke 2:36-37 says Anna the widow served God with fasting’s and prayers and you can do likewise and give of yourself unto Gods work.
