Giving An Honor or Duty - How To Truly Honor God Part 2

In Phil 4:17 Paul tells us that he didn't preach about giving to the work of God because he seek a gift for himself but because he understood the law of sowing and reaping. We can only reap from God what we have first sown, this is why Jesus said we can expect to be forgiven unless we first forgive. The same is true when it come to provisions, God promises to bless those who bless others. We can't expect for God to take care of our need when we refuse to help others with their needs. We are not to foolishly give to other but are called to follow Gods direction to give and bless others when he lead us to do so. Greed is a big problem, the bible teaches us that the greedy will not inherit the Kingdom of God (1 Cor 6:10). This is why Jesus tells us to not lay for ourselves treasures here on earth but to store then in heaven by being obedient unto God leading to bless those he seek to bless though us. We should always remember that on Judgement Day we will all have to give an account of ourselves, did we live for us to for him, did we do our will or his. The more you are obedient to God leading to bless other the more he will bless you not so you can have more but so he can use you to bless more. Your faithfulness to God leading to bless other will also cause God to bless you so that your needs and the needs of your family will be taken care of. We must always remember that when we die all of our earthly possession will stay behind so lets no lay treasures here on earth but in heaven.
