| DAY 6 |
| Read: |
2 Corinthians 9:7: |
| |
So let each one give as he purposes in his heart, not grudgingly or of necessity, for God loves a cheerful giver. (NKJV) |
| Speak: |
As I purpose to give to God, I will give. I will not give reluctantly or in response to pressure. I will give cheerfully because I know God loves a cheerful giver. |
| Think: |
We should never feel “forced” into giving to God or like our arm is being twisted to give. When we give to God it should always be with a willing heart and cheerfully because of our love for Him. |
| Pray: |
Heavenly Father, I love you. I purpose never to give because I feel like a man is forcing or pressuring me to give. My desire it to give into Your kingdom with a cheerful heart because I love You. |
| Grow: |
One of the greatest examples of a believer who honored God with his giving was Abram (later renamed Abraham by God). |
| |
|
| Abraham saw incredible prosperity and success at every turn because of His attitude in giving. Abraham recognized that everything he had came from God, and he willingly and joyfully gave back Him. Be quick to obey when the Lord leads you to give before Satan has a chance to try to argue you out of it. He will do everything he can to keep you from totally trusting and honoring God with the abundance with which God has blessed you. |
