In fact, my first car came as a result of me confessing, sowing monetary seeds, and believing God for it. Pretty much every time I put something in the basket, I confessed God's word over my situation. I had no real money, no job, and no way of knowing how it was going to happen. I hadn't even asked my parents for one. But, on the day I graduated from high school, my prayers were answered, and I received my first vehicle paid in full.
Since that time, I have steadily increased my giving to God. I give my regular tithes and offerings, plus I give some monies monthly to a charity that I believe in. I have also challenged myself to give an 'extra' something per paycheck to someone or some cause that God brings across my path.
Now, I'm no millionaire or baller by any stretch of the imagination --- yet. However, my every need has always been met. Physically, spiritually, and mentally. I have never been in lack for anything!
I have a peace in my mind and heart that passes all understanding. God has kept me through so many difficulties and times when I wasn't sure what would happen. Each time He made a way.
Giving has been a principle with God since the time of Adam. We see how God showed favor to Abel and was displeased with Cain merely off of their offerings to him. (Genesis 4:3-5) There is another level of favor you can reach merely by giving to God in the right way.
Is God pleased with you in the area of giving? Have you experienced the favor of the Lord because of your willingness to give back to Him and to His Kingdom? Make sure you are continuing to place yourself in the position to be blessed by the way that you give!
Verse of the Day: Give unto the LORD the glory due unto his name: bring an offering, and come before him: worship the LORD in the beauty of holiness. I Chronicles 16:29
