GIVING LIFESTYLE OF MEN AND WOMEN IN THE BIBLE

Giving to God and the needy is not a waste, it is a seed down for increase. It is written, 'Give, it shall be given unto you' You are not giving to lose, you are giving to gain much more than you gave out, 'Good measure, press down, shaking together and running over'. What you give may leave your hand but it will not leave your life.' E.A Adeboye. Your seed goes forth and yield increase for you, 'There is he that scattereth and yet increaseth.' Your giving to God will give you increase according to what you sow, in quality and quantity. There are men and women of old, who through giving become great and have other blessing. Lets look at some them.

-Abraham
He was a heart giver to God. He gave to both God and men, even strangers. Wherever he got to, he raised altar of sacrifice to God. He gave to angels who appeared inform of men. The highest, he gave his beloved son to God in sacrifice. His heart had given it, if not for the angel, he will have  slaughter him. With this giving life style, God sworn a blessing upon him, he was indeed blessed and today, children of God through Christ are partakers of it.

-David
David was a man that will not give anything that does not cost him to God. He desired to build a house for God but He said no. Instead of giving up. He made treasures ready for the building of the temple. He gave to God sacrificially and in large quantity. David was a blessed man, a blessed king. He won all the battle he fought.

-Solomon
Solomon was a large giver, he gave in large quantity. At first, he gave 'A thousand burnt offering' unto God at ones. Then God appeared to him and ask him what he wanted. At another time, during the dedication of the temple, he offered, 22 thousand oxen, 120 thousand sheep unto God at ones (1Kings8:63) Then the LORD appear to him again, making promises to him. He was a great man, great above many who were regarded as great.

-Job
Job gave to God and man. He daily raise sacrifice unto God. He was the eyes to the blind, he defended the widow. God blessed him greatly, he became the richest in the east during his time.

-Zarephath widow
She had little for her son and her to eat, after was, they will set their mind to death. But the servant of God Elijah came and asks that she might give her a morsel to eat, she did after Elijah had spoken. She and her household were fed through the famine by divine supply. But for the giving act, she might have perish during the famine.

-Dorcas
She used what she had to bless the life of others. When sudden death struck, those she had given to couldn't bear it, they sent to Peter to come and raise her up. If not for her heart of kindness, she might have died prematurely.

-Abigail
She was the wife, of the foolish man. David was in need, he sent to Naval to help him but he turned down the request. David got angry and was ready to destroy him. On his way to Nabal's house, he met Abigail, who was already coming with gifts. This turned away his anger, saving many lives from destruction.

-Christ
Christ Jesus gave his life hat human might be save from sin. The greatest of all. By doing this, he inherited great glory, having his name raise above all name.

Giving is powerful, for every one who desires continuous blessing from God, he or she must continuously give to God and man, according to his need, in quality and quantity.

Many mothers had through their mouths condemned their children  to zero, from poor to poorer but, no, she believed in the future she wanted for her son and knew that, all that was needed was embedded in him. Sonya deserved to be celebrated on her son, because, she did not give in to the reports of others and she did not give up on her son, who later became a saviour of many, who would have lived miserable or even died in pains.
