ALL I WANT FOR CHRISTMAS IS

TO GIVE
GOD APPRECIATES US MORE WHEN
WE DO EXTRAORDINARY THINGS
 Generosity is not in giving me that
which I need more than you do, but it
is in giving me that which you need
more than I do.
God has promised to
bless His people
abundantly.
Because God has promised to bless us
abundantly, we should be a blessing to
others.
2 CORINTHIANS 9:8
God can give you all you need. He will give
you more than enough. You will have
everything you need for yourselves. And
you will have enough left over to give
when there is a need.
2 CORINTHIANS 9:11

God will give you enough so

you can always give to others.
Then many will give thanks to
God for sending gifts through
us.
WRONG MINDSET
We adjust our dreams to
our financial capacity
We adjust our dreams to
our family background
Every problem has hidden in it an
opportunity so powerful, that it
literally dwarfs the problem.
Conquer famine by
planting or by sowing
GENESIS 26:12-13
12 Nang tang iyon, si Isaac ay nagsaka sa
lupain ng Gerar at makasandaang ibayo ang
kanyang inani kaysa kanyang itinanim.
Pinagpala siya ni Yahweh.
13 Patuloy na lumago ang kanyang kabuhayan,
at siya'y naging napakayaman.
The only way that God can get us out
from famine out of poverty is not
when we hide our money, it is when
we plant and sow it on good soil, it is
when we plant to the Lord.
PROVERBS 18:16

Giving a gift can open doors;

it gives access to important
people!
1 KINGS 17:7-15
7 Some time later the brook dried up
because there had been no rain in the
land. 8 Then the word of the Lord came
to him: 9 Go at once to Zarephath in the
region of Sidon and stay there. I have
directed a widow there to supply you
with food.
10 So he went to Zarephath. When he
came to the town gate, a widow was there
gathering sticks. He called to her and
asked, Would you bring me a little water
in a jar so I may have a drink? 11 As she
was going to get it, he called, And bring
me, please, a piece of bread.
12 As surely as the Lord your God lives,
she replied, I dont have any breadonly
a handful of flour in a jar and a little olive
oil in a jug. I am gathering a few sticks to
take home and make a meal for myself
and my son, that we may eat itand die.
13 Elijah said to her, Dont be afraid. Go home and
do as you have said. But first make a small loaf of
bread for me from what you have and bring it to
me, and then make something for yourself and
your son. 14 For this is what the Lord, the God of
Israel, says: The jar of flour will not be used up
and the jug of oil will not run dry until the day the
Lord sends rain on the land.
15 She went away and did as Elijah
had told her. So there was food every
day for Elijah and for the woman and
her family.
God meets us at our
point of emptiness.
When God blesses you financially, dont
raise your standard of living. Raise your
standard of giving.
God didnt add another day to your life
because you needed it. He did it
because someone out there needs you!
Give, but give until it
hurts.
