Give, and you will receive.

You will be given much.

Pressed down, shaken together, and running
over, it will spill into your lap.
The way you give to others is the way God
will give to you.
Luke 6:38 NCV

On being Stingy…
• They always take but give very little
back.
• They disappear kapag offering time sa
church.
• They’ll always borrow stuff rather than
buy their own, and if they break it, they
offer no replacement.
Stingy ones…
• They always are always on the “WIIFM!”
• They always ask for “Pakapin’ or say,
“Wala’y libre?”
• If you lend them money, they quickly get
an amnesia.
• They measure every effort; if they do
something for you, they won’t do it again
unless you reciprocate.
Purpose for Blessing

God told Abraham,

“I will bless you...
and you will be a
blessing to others.

Genesis 12:2 NCV

1 Timothy 6:17-19
As for the rich in this present age, charge
them not to be haughty, nor to set their
hopes on the uncertainty of riches, but on
God, who richly provides us with everything
to enjoy. They are to do good, to be rich in
good works, to be generous and ready to
share, thus storing up treasure for
themselves as a good foundation for the
future, so that they may take hold of that
which is truly life.
