“Do not ‘nickel and dime’ Me. What do I mean by this? Do not sell Me short. Do not undervalue Me. Do not bargain with Me, looking for the cheapest way in which to follow Me – the cheapest way monetarily and the cheapest way of your soul. I would have your ALL. I would have your soul be generous and ever giving to Me. Have I not been so to you, My People?

“How generous are you to your fellow man? Do you look for opportunities to give? Do you create opportunities when there would be none without you paying attention? I demand your kindness to your fellow man. Your generosity. I demand your generosity toward Me. Remember that ALL you possess has been given by Me. It is rightfully MINE. Therefore declare it is MINE. Live in the knowledge that I give you all I give you in order for you to give it back to Me, so it can be used according to My Will. This involves your time as well as your money. It involves the gifts I have given you, the spiritual favor I have given you, the patience I have shown you. The Love I have heaped upon you. The knowledge and experience I have built within you of Myself. All of this and so much more – EVERYTHING I have given you – is for you to give back to Me and use as I choose.

“This is a time of much needed resources among My People. For the harvest now comes in. And your resources are needed. Your money, your time and energy. Your spiritual wisdom, built by Me and FOR Me. Do not be stingy with My Harvest.

“I say this again to you, My People: your resources ARE NOT your own. They are MINE. Act like it. Amen.”

Notes:

I Chronicles 29:12-14:  Both riches and honor come from You, and You rule over all, and in Your hand is power and might; and it lies in Your hand to make great and to strengthen everyone. Now therefore, our God, we thank You, and praise Your glorious name. But who am I and who are my people that we should be able to offer as generously as this? For all things come from You, and from Your hand we have given You.

James 1:17: Every good thing given and every perfect gift is from above, coming down from the Father of lights, with whom there is no variation or shifting shadow.

Proverbs 11:25: The generous man will be prosperous, and he who waters will himself be watered.

Hebrews 13:16: And do not forget to do good and to share with others, for with such sacrifices God is pleased.

Luke 6:38: Give, and it will be given to you. A good measure, pressed down, shaken together and running over, will be poured into your lap. For with the measure you use, it will be measured to you.

Isaiah 58:10-11: And if you give yourself to the hungry and satisfy the desire of the afflicted, then your light will rise in darkness and your gloom will become like midday. And the Lord will continually guide you, and satisfy your desire in scorched places, and give strength to your bones; and you will be like a watered garden, and like a spring of water whose waters do not fail.

I Timothy 6:17-19: Instruct those who are rich in this present world not to be conceited or to fix their hope on the uncertainty of riches, but on God, who richly supplies us with all things to enjoy. Instruct them to do good, to be rich in good works, to be generous and ready to share, storing up for themselves the treasure of a good foundation for the future, so that they may take hold of that which is life indeed.

Proverbs 22:9: He who is generous will be blessed, for he gives some of his food to the poor.

I Peter 4:10:  As each one has received a special gift, employ it in serving one another as good stewards of the manifold grace of God.

II Corinthians 9:6-11:  Now this I say, he who sows sparingly will also reap sparingly, and he who sows bountifully will also reap bountifully. Each one must do just as he has purposed in his heart, not grudgingly or under compulsion, for God loves a cheerful giver. And God is able to make all grace abound to you, so that always having all sufficiency in everything, you may have an abundance for every good deed; as it is written, “He scattered abroad, he gave to the poor, His righteousness endures forever.” Now He who supplies seed to the sower and bread for food will supply and multiply your seed for sowing and increase the harvest of your righteousness; you will be enriched in everything for all liberality, which through us is producing thanksgiving to God. 

Luke 3:10-11: And the crowds were questioning [Jesus], saying, “Then what shall we do?” And he would answer and say to them, “The man who has two tunics is to share with him who has none; and he who has food is to do likewise.”
