Radical Generosity : receiving, giving and growing
James 1:16 Don’t be deceived, my dear brothers and sisters. 17 Every good and perfect gift is from above, coming down from the Father of the heavenly lights, who does not change like shifting shadows. 18 He chose to give us birth through the word of truth, that we might be a kind of firstfruits of all he created.
Spiritual Reality
Radical Receiving: The Starting place of the Christian life Life, Love, Salvation and provision = More than enough Radical Giving: The natural response to receiving from the Father God is love = Love gives. We are being transformed into His image. We are givers by design Receiving + Giving = Growing - receiving, giving and growing are like working out. What made my muscles sore in the beginning is easy for me now. Giving should hurt like sore muscles the day after you workout.
Natural Reality
Proverbs 11:24 One person gives freely, yet gains even more; another withholds unduly, but comes to poverty. 25 A generous person will prosper; whoever refreshes others will be refreshed.
Luke 21:1-4 Jesus was in the temple, observing all the wealthy wanting to be noticed as they came with their offerings. 2 He noticed a very poor widow dropping two small copper coins in the offering box. 3 “Listen to me,” he said. “This poor widow has given a larger offering than any of the wealthy. 4 For the rich only gave out of their surplus, but she sacrificed out of her poverty and gave to God all that she had to live on.”
Christian Life = Praise, Charity and Fellowship. Radical receiver of God’s love = faithful giver.
Here’s how I give. “Father thank you for providing my needs and funding my dreams How would you like me to be a radical receiver and a faithful giver this season?”
Questions What amount can I be faithful with? Whether it’s $10/month or $500/month start somewhere. No one is judging you in your process of being radical. (Keep to yourself or with your spouse.) When you think about being radical in receiving and giving, what feelings, thoughts or responses are you having?
