A wealthy person, he was the interesting way in which he used part of this wealth. Every couple of months, he would bring in hundreds of poor people from this country. He met with them individually and discussed their needs. Then, in most cases, he would give the people whatever they needed. If they needed a car, he would buy them car. If they needed a home, he would buy them a home. If they need money for an operation, he provided that as well. Whatever the need, he would meet it. He gave away hundreds of thousands of dollars land literately million more in property and materials.
But the principles of giving are spiritual principles. They work regardless of nationality, skin color or even region. If you give unselfishly, it is going to be given back to you. If give unselfishly, it is going to be given back to you. If you meet other people’s need, God will make sure your own needs are supplied in abundance.
When you help the poor you are lending to the God. He has lent to God by helping the poor and God will not be in debt to any person.
You may be thinking, well, if I had all that money, I would do the same thing. No, that is where you miss it. You have to start right where you are. You must be faithful with what have then God will trust you with more. You may not have a lot of extra money to give, but you can buy somebody’s dinner every once in a while. You can give someday a smile. You can go out of and to pray for somebody in need.
Now is the time to develop an attitude of giving. The closest thing to the heart of our God is helping hurting people. God loves when we pray. He loves when we come together to celebrate. His goodness. But nothing please God any more than when we take care of more of His creature.
