Sowing and reaping

Churches speak about tithing all the time. Tithing is when we bring the first 10% of our earnings to God. That money belongs to God, but He wants to see that we are faithful, that is why He does not just keep His 10%

Everything we have belongs to God and when we give, we are richly blessed.

Besides tithing there are other ways for us to give:

Offering – when we give money over and above the tithe

Sowing – when you give of your time, money or belongings

We often give money and hope the church appropriates the money correctly and that is the last thought we give the matter.

The spirit in which we give is almost more important than what we actually give. You must give not so that you can receive, but knowing that your seed will be blessed and used to further God’s Kingdom.

Your fruit will be returned to you and God will meet you at your point of need. For instance, He may not give you money to join a medical aid, but He will keep you healthy so that you will not need a medical aid.
