But, we don't spend the same amount of time thinking of giving portions of our earnings to the poor and needy.I hope you won't be surprised if I say "The More You Give offline or online, The More You Will Receive."The Bible says "He that hath pity on the poor lendeth unto the Lord; And that which he hath given will He pay him again." (Proverbs 19:17)This means that how much ever money or goods we give to the poor and needy people, that much money or goods God is going to give back to us.
He will definitely repay you, maybe more than you can imagine.The Bible says "There is that scattereth and yet increaseth; and there is that withholdeth more than is meet, but it lendeth to poverty." (Proverbs 11:24)This means that the person who spent his earnings on charity by giving to the poor has increased his income. On the other hand, the person who kept his earnings with himself more than that was necessary to him and therefore became poor.The Bible says "The liberal soul shall be made fat; and he that watereth shall be watered also himself." (Proverbs 11:25)This means that everything related to a generous person shall be made fat.
And, he that provides help in whatever way or kind to others shall be helped by God.The Bible says "Honour the Lord with thy substance, and with the firstfruits of all thine increase; so shall thy barns be filled with plenty, and thy presses shall burst out with new wine." (Proverbs 3:9, 10)This means that you have to honour God by giving your income by first sale to Him. And, you have to set apart your first increases of every venture for charitable cause.
Then, the All-knowing God who is watching over you all the time shall reward you with plenty of further increases in income and with more new sales.The Bible says "Blessed is he that considereth the poor; the Lord will deliver him in time of trouble. The Lord will preserve him and keep him alive; and he shall be blessed upon the earth; and the Lord will not deliver him unto the will of his enemies." (Psalms 41:12)The above verse is self-explanatory.The Bible says "But, whosoever hath the worlds good, and seeth his brother have need, and shutteth up his bowels of compassion from him, how dwelleth the love of God in him ? My little children, let us not love in word, neither in tongue; but in deed and in truth." (I John 3:17, 18).This means that if you have enough and do not consider the poor and needy, then you do not have the love of God in you.
You are loving God with mere words and not in truth.Now, there are two important points to be considered before giving to charity :-1) The Bible says "Take heed that ye do not your alms before men, to be seen of them: otherwise ye have no reward of your Father which is in heaven. Therefore when thou doest thine alms, do not sound a trumpet before thee, as the hypocrites do in the synagogues and in the streets, that they may have glory of men.
Verily I say unto you, They have their reward.But when thou doest alms, let not thy left hand know what thy right hand doeth:That thine alms may be in secret: and thy Father which seeth in secret himself shall reward thee openly." (Matthew 6:1, 4)This means that you must give in secret and not before men or to be seen of people. If you are seen by people, then you already recieve your reward from people.
If you are not seen by people, then the Almighty God who sees you shall reward you in secret. It is the reward from God that you must seek for and not the reward from people.
Therefore, let your giving be unknown to others.2) The Bible says "But this I say, He which soweth sparingly shall reap also sparingly; and he which soweth bountifully shall reap also bountifully.Every man according as he purposeth in his heart, so let him give; not grudgingly, or of necessity: for God loveth a cheerful giver." (II Corinthians 9:6, 7)This means that if you give less, you will recieve less and if you give more you will recieve more. And, you will be appreciated by God, if you give happily.
If you give unhappily and complainingly, then it is better you don't give at all for you shall receive nothing in return.The Bible was written by God-chosen men and contains the words of Almighty God Himself. Therefore, these words never fail.
God himself is the 100% guarantee for these words.So, my dear friend, if you do not give due importance to charity then you lose the chances of receiving the above mentioned blessings which God has in store for you.The choice is yours.....Pardon me if I have hit you hard at some places. The Bible says "Faithful are the wounds of a friend; but the kisses of an enemy are deceitful." (Proverbs 27:6).
And also, that "He that rebuketh a man afterwards shall find more favour than he that flattereth with the tongue."--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------C.J.L.J.Rao is the Owner of a small internet business online which provides the netizens with resources for building income on the web.
