Kingdom Key - Giving

The Good News (Gospel) According to Matthew
Today’s Focus: Kingdom Key #3 - Giving
Scripture: Matthew 10:41-42; Matthew 16:19

Greetings Kingdom Citizens
Giving is one of the most difficult Keys of the Kingdom for the citizens to use. In this World we are kept by our possessions and God is saying I own everything so let it go. Now you have to remember this scripture to understand how the Key works, Matthew 16:19. So in order for God to loose something from Heaven to Earth, you have to loose something on Earth. Now this is good. How many of you, if someone walked up to you today and said, “hey, I like that coat, I wish I had one” and the Holy Spirit said “give them your coat”, would you? Now the only way you will know the voice of the Holy Spirit is that you have a relationship with the Holy Spirit. When you give to others, God gives to you. Now look at the scripture because this is a very unique situation.

Now if a man or woman of God comes in your presence and you receive that person and give that person even something as a small drink of water, God will give unto you. Now does that mean we only give to the man or woman of God to get things from God? No! Because the poor will always be with us and it is our calling to give and help others along the way. Now if you give to someone with the intent of trying to get something back then your giving is in vain. But also be careful who you are trying to get from. If you give to a crook then you get a crook’s reward. Giving should be from the heart to start with and when you give silently, God blesses you openly. Giving is not just material things. It is also service and time. Even though you may not have money, just giving of your service and time will unlock Heaven’s door and allow God to over-run you with blessings.
