-
Respond gratefully to what GOD
has first given us. “...but they gave
themselves first to the Lord.”
2 Corinthians 8:5 NKJV.
-
Obey responsibly to glorify God
as a faithful proclamation of
God’s Word. “...they glorify God
for the obedience of your confession
to the gospel of Christ.”
2 Corinthians 9:13 NKJV.
-
Sacrifice proportionately as Christ
sacrificed for us. “...according to
their ability, yes, and beyond
their ability...”
2 Corinthians 8:3 NKJV.
-
Give willingly as moved by the
Holy Spirit. “For I bear witness -
they were freely willing...”
2 Corinthians 8:3 NKJV.
-
Share abundantly as we have
received. “...and God is able to
make all grace abound toward
you, that you, always having all
sufficiency in all things, may have an
abundance for every good work.”
2 Corinthians 9:8 NKJ.
- Give proportionately is our
way of giving in relation to our
abundance. “For If there is a willing
mind, it is accepted according to
what one has, and not according
to what he does not have.”
2 Corinthians 8:12 NKJV.
- Commit intentionally means
making a statement about your
intent and following through.
“...prepare your generous
gift beforehand, which you
had previously promised...”
2 Corinthians 9:5 NKJV.
- Contribute regularly by practicing
our stewardship on a daily basis.
“On the first day of the week let
each one of you lay something
aside; storing up as he may
prosper.”
1 Corinthians 16:2 NKJV.
- Live Genuinely by putting your
faith into action. “I
speak not by commandment, but I am testing the sincerity of your love
by the diligence of others” 2 Corinthians 8:8 NKJV Accept a challenge
by recognizing the dynamic nature of our faith. “He who sows sparingly
will also reap sparingly, and he who sows bountifully will also reap
bountifully.” 2 Corinthians 9:6 NKJV.
- Accept a challenge by
recognizing the dynamic nature
of our faith. “He who sows
sparingly will also reap sparingly,
and he who sows bountifully will
also reap bountifully.”
2 Corinthians 9:6 NKJV.
