Our goal is to assist in your maturing process into the fullness of being a Son or Daughter of Our Heavenly Father. We cannot be reluctant in addressing topics we know to be sensitive to those who are pursuing a higher level of maturing. Giving is one such sensitive topic.
Over the years, people have come up with all sorts of reasons not to be givers. Often, they look at the ministry and search for flaws which would justify them withholding their giving. Unfortunately, they are missing the point. Their rationale has caused them to miss the blessing of giving. It is all about intent of the giver, not the potential recipient’s righteousness.
Wisdom wrote in Proverbs chapter 3:
5 Trust in the LORD with all your heart,
And lean not on your own understanding;
6 In all your ways acknowledge Him,
And He shall direct your paths.
And:
9 Honor the LORD with your possessions,
And with the firstfruits of all your increase;
10 So your barns will be filled with plenty,
And your vats will overflow with new wine.
Do you think FATHER is restricted in providing you a financial blessing if the recipient of your giving fails to handle your gift in a righteous manner? Absolutely not! My wife and I have given significant contributions to various ministries who have been found to misallocate resources based on what was advertised. Nevertheless, FATHER blessed us in our giving because we gave with the right intent out of a pure heart. In several cases, we gave significantly beyond our “emotional comfort zone” but FATHER provided us with exceptional blessings in return.
We currently pay no salaries out of Servias Ministries and never have since its inception thus there is no incentive to “tickle” the ears of the readers with popular topics which may add nothing toward the maturity of the believer. FATHER provides for my family through my business. All contributions go to keeping our website up and operational and disbursing to those in need as our funds allow.
Historically, my wife and I have been major contributors to Servias. Since FATHER told us to start this organization, I know it is fertile ground to plant our seed. FATHER continues to bless our giving and I trust HE is blessing those who contribute to this ministry as well. What a blessing to teach what FATHER gives us daily to a wide and diverse readership! We have over 3,000 different readers come to our site each month. I believe many of these readers are being encouraged and matured by The Word in preparation of the challenges ahead.
I can share testimonies of many past blessings due to our giving but they only serve to assure you that FATHER’S Word will work for you as well. If you become a frequent giver then you will receive frequent blessings. But if you are a reluctant giver or a “zero” giver, you too will be rewarded according to the measure you give.
Wisdom urges you to become a giver so that your barns will be filled with plenty and your vat will overflow with new wine. As Jesus said in Luke 6:
38 Give, and it shall be given unto you; good measure, pressed down, and shaken together, and running over, shall men give into your bosom. For with the same measure that ye mete withal it shall be measured to you again.
In Genesis chapter 12, FATHER spoke to Abraham:
2 I will make you a great nation;
I will bless you
And make your name great;
And you shall be a blessing [a source of great good to others].
FATHER has blessed my family and as a result, we have been a blessing to others. That is how the Kingdom operates.
