TOPIC: BE FAITHFUL IN YOUR GIVING

 

OPENING SCRIPTURES

Malachi 3:10, “Bring ye all the tithes into the storehouse, that there may be meat in mine house, and prove me now herewith, saith the LORD of hosts, if I will not open you the windows of heaven, and pour you out a blessing, that there shall not be room enough to receive it.”

Luke 6:38, “Give, and it shall be given unto you; good measure, pressed down, and shaken together, and running over, shall men give into your bosom. For with the same measure that ye mete withal it shall be measured to you again.”

2 Corinthians 9:6-7, “But this I say, He which soweth sparingly shall reap also sparingly; and he which soweth bountifully shall reap also bountifully. Every man according as he purposeth in his heart, so let him give; not grudgingly, or of necessity: for God loveth a cheerful giver.”

 

MEMORY VERSE

2 Corinthians 9:6-7, “But this I say, He which soweth sparingly shall reap also sparingly; and he which soweth bountifully shall reap also bountifully. Every man according as he purposeth in his heart, so let him give; not grudgingly, or of necessity: for God loveth a cheerful giver.”

 

PRAISE AND WORSHIP

Take time now to worship the Lord who owns the cattle upon a thousand hills and who has no need of anything, yet delights in the willing heart of a giver. Sing songs of thanksgiving for His provision, and let your heart rise in gratitude before you bring your gift before Him.

 

EJOM DAILY DEVOTIONAL: September 11, 2026 – Be Faithful in Your Giving

Beloved, giving is an important part of the Christian life. A believer should not only know how to receive from God but should also learn how to give faithfully, cheerfully, wisely, and with the right motive.

God has blessed us in different ways, and everything we possess ultimately comes from Him. 1 Chronicles 29:14 says, “But who am I, and what is my people, that we should be able to offer so willingly after this sort? for all things come of thee, and of thine own have we given thee.”

David understood that whenever we give to God, support His work, or help another person, we are giving from what God first enabled us to possess.

Giving is not limited to money. You can give your time, food, clothes, knowledge, encouragement, hospitality, skills, attention, resources, and practical assistance without regretting it. Sometimes what somebody desperately needs is not money but your time.

Sometimes an elderly person needs somebody to visit them. A young person may need your guidance and wisdom. A struggling family may need food and attention. The orphanage children may need your love and gift.

Someone searching for employment may need information about an opportunity. A grieving person may simply need somebody who is willing to listen. Therefore, when we talk about giving, we must not reduce generosity to putting money into an offering basket.

However, money is also part of biblical giving, and believers should not become uncomfortable whenever Scripture addresses it or pastor preaches about it.

Jesus Himself spoke repeatedly about money, possessions, stewardship, generosity, greed, and our attitude toward material things because money can reveal what is happening inside the heart.

Matthew 6:21 says, “For where your treasure is, there will your heart be also.” The issue is not simply whether you have money; the issue is whether money has you.

Beloved, faithfulness in giving begins with understanding that you are a steward. Psalm 24:1 says, “The earth is the LORD’S, and the fulness thereof; the world, and they that dwell therein.”

Your salary, business income, opportunities, abilities, connections, and resources are things God has allowed you to manage.

A steward understands that what enters his hands should not be used selfishly without any thought for God, family responsibilities, those in genuine need, or the advancement of good works.

Some people are generous only when they have plenty. They say, “When I become rich, I will definitely start helping people.”

But generosity is first an attitude before it becomes an amount. Jesus watched people putting money into the treasury in Mark 12:41–44.

Wealthy people gave much, but a poor widow put in two mites. Jesus drew attention to her because her gift represented genuine sacrifice. The lesson is not that poor people should give away the little they need for survival under pressure.

However, the lesson is that God sees our heart, sacrifice, and motive behind giving, not merely the size of the amount. This is very important because Christianity should never turn giving into a competition.

Somebody may give one million while another person gives one thousand. Human beings may immediately notice the larger figure, but God understands the circumstances of both people.

The person who gave one thousand may have made a greater sacrifice than the person giving one million.

Therefore, never become ashamed because your offering appears smaller than somebody else’s. Give according to your ability and with sincerity before God.

2 Corinthians 8:12 says, “For if there be first a willing mind, it is accepted according to that a man hath, and not according to that he hath not.”

Notice those words: “according to that a man hath.” Biblical giving should not become reckless financial behaviour. God does not require you to pretend that you possess money you do not have.

Giving should not become a reason to neglect essential responsibilities, refuse to provide for your household, or enter unnecessary debt simply because you want people to see you as generous.

Beloved, there is a difference between sacrificial giving and irresponsible giving. Sacrifice may cost you something, but irresponsibility giving ignores wisdom and responsibility.

1 Timothy 5:8 speaks strongly about providing for one’s household. Therefore, you cannot neglect your children’s school fees, refuse to provide necessary food for your home, ignore important responsibilities, and then proudly announce that you gave everything away.

Generosity and stewardship must walk together. God is also concerned about the motive behind our giving. 2 Corinthians 9:7 says we should not give “grudgingly, or of necessity: for God loveth a cheerful giver.”

 Giving grudgingly means giving while your heart is angry about it.  Giving “of necessity” can carry the idea of giving because you feel pressured or compelled to do so. God wants generosity to flow from a willing heart.

This is why ministers and churches must also be careful about how people are encouraged to give. People should be taught biblical generosity, but they should not be manipulated to give through fear.

Statements such as, “If you don’t give this amount, something terrible will happen to you,” should never become a method of fundraising.

Neither should people be promised guaranteed miracles simply because they transfer a particular amount of money.

Giving is an act of worship and obedience, not a commercial transaction where we purchase miracles from God. Simon the sorcerer attempted to use money in relation to spiritual power in Acts 8, and Peter strongly rebuked him.

The grace of God is not for sale. Salvation is not for sale. Healing is not for sale. Prophecy is not for sale. God’s attention cannot be purchased by the highest bidder.

We give because we love God, because Scripture teaches generosity, because ministry requires resources, because people have needs, and because giving helps loosen selfishness and greed from our hearts.

Beloved, examine your motive whenever you give. Are you giving because you genuinely want to honour God, or because you want everybody to know how generous you are? Jesus warned in Matthew 6:1–4 about doing charitable deeds simply to be seen by people.

There are occasions when public giving may be necessary for accountability or to encourage collective participation, but the desire for recognition should never become the reason for generosity.

You do not need to announce every person you help. You do not need to photograph every bag of rice you give to someone who is struggling. You do not need to embarrass poor people so that social media can applaud your generosity. Protect people’s dignity.

There is a kind of giving that blesses somebody materially but humiliates them emotionally. Christian generosity should carry compassion.

Another important area is giving to those genuinely in need. Proverbs 19:17 says, “He that hath pity upon the poor lendeth unto the LORD.” Throughout Scripture, God repeatedly expresses concern for the poor, widows, orphans, strangers, and vulnerable people.

James 2 challenges believers who speak spiritual words to people in physical need while refusing practical assistance when they have the ability to help.

James 2:15–16 says, “If a brother or sister be naked, and destitute of daily food, And one of you say unto them, Depart in peace, be ye warmed and filled; notwithstanding ye give them not those things which are needful to the body; what doth it profit?”

Sometimes the answer to somebody’s prayer may be something God has already placed within your ability to provide.

You may be praying, “Lord, provide food for that family,” while there is enough food in your house to share with them. You may be praying for a student’s education while you have the ability to purchase a textbook.

You may be asking God to help a widow while you could quietly contribute something toward her needs. Prayer is essential, but sometimes compassion must become practical.

The early church understood this. Acts 4:34–35 describes believers voluntarily sharing resources so that needs among them could be addressed.

Their generosity was an expression of love and community. Christianity was not merely something they preached; it affected how they treated one another.

Beloved, faithful giving should also include supporting genuine gospel work. Ministry requires resources. Missionaries need support. Churches have bills to pay. Evangelism requires materials. Media ministry costs money these days.

Christian books must be produced. Workers need to be supported. Paul taught in 1 Corinthians 9:14, “Even so hath the Lord ordained that they which preach the gospel should live of the gospel.” Supporting genuine ministry is biblical.

But wisdom is also necessary. Do not assume that everybody who uses God’s name is trustworthy with money. 2 Corinthians 8 shows that Paul cared about accountability in handling financial gifts.

It is important that ministries should have responsible financial structures. People who handle ministry resources should understand that they are handling something entrusted to God through His people.

Giving should never become an excuse for ministers to live without accountability. Believers should also practise discernment because scams sometimes hide behind emotional stories and religious language.

Generosity does not mean abandoning wisdom. If a request is substantial or suspicious, it is reasonable to verify it.  Matthew 10:16 tells us to be “wise as serpents, and harmless as doves.” A compassionate heart and a discerning mind can exist together.

Faithfulness in giving also means learning consistency. Some people give only when they are emotionally moved or brainwashed. Today they give everything; tomorrow they give nothing.

But Paul told the Corinthians in 1 Corinthians 16:2, “Upon the first day of the week let every one of you lay by him in store, as God hath prospered him.” There was planning involved. Generosity can become part of your financial discipline.

Consider creating room in your budget for giving. Decide prayerfully what portion of your resources you can regularly dedicate toward ministry, people in need, family responsibilities, charitable work, and other worthy causes.

A planned generosity helps you avoid spending everything on yourself and then discovering that nothing remains when an opportunity to help appears.

At the same time, never allow giving to become pride. If God has blessed you with the ability to help many people, remain humble.

Deuteronomy 8:18 says, “But thou shalt remember the LORD thy God: for it is he that giveth thee power to get wealth.” You are not better than the person receiving assistance. Circumstances can change quickly. Give with gratitude because God has placed you in a position to help.

When somebody helps you, learn gratitude too. Generosity should not create entitlement. Some people become angry when someone who helped them previously cannot help again. They forget that assistance was kindness, not permanent obligation.

Appreciate people God uses in your life. Pray for them. Say thank you. Do not turn yesterday’s generosity into today’s entitlement.

Parents should also teach their children generosity. Children should learn that not everything they receive exists only for their personal enjoyment. Teach them to always share.  Let them see you helping people without making a show of it. Let them understand that compassion matters.

Beloved, generosity also involves forgiveness, encouragement, knowledge, and opportunities. Perhaps you cannot give somebody money, but you can recommend them for an opportunity. You can teach them something that took you years to learn.

You can introduce them to someone who may help their career. You can give honest advice. You can mentor a younger person. You can share useful information with them rather than hiding everything because you fear somebody else will succeed than you.

There are people who are financially generous but emotionally stingy. They can give money but cannot give appreciation. They find it difficult to say, “Well done.” They cannot recommend somebody else. They cannot celebrate another person’s success.

Giving your time can also be costly. Sometimes sitting beside a grieving person for one hour is a significant gift. Listening patiently to your spouse can be a gift. Spending meaningful time with your children is a gift.

Visiting an elderly parent is a gift. Volunteering your professional skill to help someone who cannot afford it can be a gift. Never measure generosity only by money.

However, generosity requires boundaries. You cannot meet every need in the world. Jesus Himself did not personally solve every problem in Israel during His earthly ministry. You need wisdom regarding what you can carry.

Constantly giving beyond your capacity can produce resentment, financial instability, and exhaustion. Sometimes saying “I cannot do this right now” is responsible stewardship, not wickedness.

You should also avoid enabling destructive behaviour. If somebody continually wastes money through gambling, addiction, or irresponsible choices, repeatedly handing them cash may not be the wisest form of help.

Sometimes generosity means buying food instead of giving cash. Sometimes it means paying a necessary bill directly. Sometimes it means connecting the person with counselling, employment, rehabilitation, financial education, or another form of practical support.

Your giving should also extend beyond the walls of the church. Galatians 6:10 says, “As we have therefore opportunity, let us do good unto all men, especially unto them who are of the household of faith.”

Look around you. There may be someone silently struggling to feed a child, pay school fees, obtain medical care or return home from work. Ask God to open your eyes to needs you are capable of meeting.

Some people pray for God to use them greatly but overlook the opportunities already around them. The food in your kitchen may be the answer to someone’s prayer. Your unused clothing may restore another person’s dignity.

Your professional knowledge may help someone build a career. The small amount you consider insignificant may prevent a family from going to bed hungry. Never despise the power of a sincere gift.

When you give, avoid announcing everything you have done. Jesus said in Matthew 6:3–4, “But when thou doest alms, let not thy left hand know what thy right hand doeth: that thine alms may be in secret: and thy Father which seeth in secret himself shall reward thee openly.”

There are occasions when public generosity may inspire others, but giving should never become a performance designed to attract praise. Let God receive the glory.

Faithfulness in giving begins with what is already in your hand. You may not have millions. You may not be able to solve everybody’s problems. But there may still be something you can do. Remember the widow whom Jesus observed in Mark 12:41–44.

Many rich people gave large amounts, but the poor widow gave two mites. Jesus did not despise her contribution because it looked small. He saw the sacrifice behind it.

God does not measure generosity merely by the size of the amount; He also sees the heart, capacity and sacrifice of the giver.

This means you should never become ashamed because somebody else can give more than you. Giving is not a competition. If another person gives $1,000 and you can genuinely afford only $5, do not borrow $1,000 because you want to appear good and kind.

God knows your capacity and your motives. Likewise, if God has genuinely blessed you greatly, do not continually hide behind small giving simply because there is no human being forcing you to do more.

The question is not, “How much did everybody else give?” The question is, “Am I being faithful with what God has entrusted to me?”

Sometimes people read a message about giving and immediately think, “I don’t have money, so this message is not for me.” But generosity is much bigger than money. What else has God placed in your hands?

Peter once encountered a lame man asking for money. In Acts 3:6 he said, “Silver and gold have I none; but such as I have give I thee.” The principle is powerful: such as I have, I give.

Stop concentrating only on what you do not have. Ask God to show you what you already possess that can become useful to somebody else.

Nevertheless, giving is not a business transaction through which you attempt to control God. You should never give with the attitude that God now owes you a particular miracle. Give because you love Him, trust Him and desire to bless others.

God’s rewards may come through provision, protection, peace, divine relationships, opportunities, spiritual growth or an eternal reward. Allow Him to determine how and when He responds to you.

Another important lesson is that true giving should not become a method of controlling people. Some people give and expect the person to give when they are also in need. You hear statement like, “Have you forgotten what I did for you?” Its wrong and unbiblical.

That is not healthy giving. If you give someone a genuine gift, do not turn the gift into an invisible chain. If it is a loan, clearly call it a loan. If repayment is expected, make that clear to the person. But if you call something a gift, avoid using it later as a weapon of control.

Beloved, examine your giving life today. Are you faithful only when you have excess? Do you remember people in need? Do you support the work of God willingly?

Do you give with humility or expect everyone to praise you? Have fear, selfishness or past disappointment closed your heart against generosity? Ask the Holy Spirit to reveal where you need to give.

The greatest example of giving remains Jesus Christ. Second Corinthians 8:9 says, “Though he was rich, yet for your sakes he became poor, that ye through his poverty might be rich.”

Jesus gave Himself for our salvation. He did not give reluctantly or halfway; He surrendered His life completely. Every time we remember the cross, we are reminded that true love gives sacrificially.

You may not have everything you desire, but you have something that can bless someone. Begin with what is available.

Your gift may appear small to people, but when offered with faith and love, God can use it to produce a great testimony. Remain a faithful steward, because the God who sees your heart will never forget your labour of love.

Beloved, be faithful with little. You do not need to become a millionaire before you enforce generosity. If you cannot share anything when you have little, having more money will not automatically create a generous heart.

Luke 16:10 says, “He that is faithful in that which is least is faithful also in much.” Start where you are. Start with what God has placed in your hands. At the same time, never give because you believe you can force God into multiplying your money.

2 Corinthians 9 certainly teaches sowing and reaping, but the passage also speaks about generosity, righteousness, thanksgiving to God, and having resources to continue good works.

The return on generosity does not always come as immediate cash. God may provide opportunities, relationships, sufficiency, peace, wisdom or resources that enable you to continue doing good.

2 Corinthians 9:8 says God is able to make grace abound so that we have sufficiency and can “abound to every good work.” Notice again that God’s provision has purpose attached to it.

Give because you love God. Give because you care about people. Give because you believe God’s work deserves support. Give because generosity is part of Christian character. Trust God with the outcome.

Proverbs 19:17 says, “He that hath pity upon the poor lendeth unto the LORD.” God cares deeply about how we treat vulnerable people. James 2 challenges a faith that speaks beautiful words to someone who lacks food and clothing but refuses practical help when help is possible.

Sometimes we pray for God to provide for somebody while God has already placed part of that provision in our hands.

Imagine someone saying, “Please pray for me; my children have not eaten today.” You have enough food available, yet after hearing the request you simply say, “It is well. God will provide.”

There are times when prayer is necessary, but there are also times when you may be part of God’s answer to the prayer you are praying.

Some people gave a particular amount when their income was very small. Ten years later, their income has multiplied significantly, but their generosity has never changed.

Their lifestyle has expanded, their house has improved, their car has improved, their wardrobe has improved, but their willingness to help others remained exactly where it was.

There is nothing wrong with enjoying legitimate blessings. First Timothy 6:17 says God “giveth us richly all things to enjoy.” But the next verse tells those with resources “that they do good, that they be rich in good works, ready to distribute, willing to communicate.”

As your capacity increases, allow your generosity to mature too. One reason some people stop giving is disappointment. Perhaps you helped somebody who later betrayed you. You supported someone who never appreciated it.

You gave to somebody who misused what you provided. After several experiences like that, you may say, “I will never help anybody again.” Be careful. Wisdom may require you to change how you give, but disappointment should not destroy generosity in your heart.

Galatians 6:9 says, “And let us not be weary in well doing: for in due season we shall reap, if we faint not.” Learn from experience. But do not allow an ungrateful person to turn you into a permanently hardened person.

 

In Conclusion

Beloved, faithful giving is not about trying to impress God with money. It is not about purchasing miracles, competing with other people or responding to manipulation. Giving is an expression of love, stewardship, gratitude, compassion and obedience.

God looks at the heart, the motive and the capacity behind what we give.

Therefore, begin where you are. If you have little, be faithful with the little. If God has given you much, recognize the greater responsibility that comes with greater capacity.

Support genuine kingdom work. Remember people in need. Honour legitimate responsibilities. Give cheerfully. Give wisely. Give without controlling people. Give without announcing everything. Give without demanding that God repay you according to your own formula.

And never think that generosity is only for wealthy people. Sometimes the greatest gift you can give is not money. It may be your time, encouragement, knowledge, recommendation, food, attention, skill or presence.

Ask yourself today, “What has God placed in my hands that can become a blessing to someone else?” Remember the words of Jesus recorded in Acts 20:35: “It is more blessed to give than to receive.”

Therefore, whenever God gives you the ability and a genuine opportunity to do good, do not always look away. You may never know how deeply your act of kindness can affect another person’s life.

Be faithful in your giving, be wise in your giving, be cheerful in your giving, and let your generosity continually point people toward the goodness of God.

May your hands never become so tightly closed that nothing can leave them, and may your heart never become so attached to possessions that you cannot obey God when He places a genuine opportunity to bless someone before you.

 

 

WISDOM FOR TODAY

A farmer who eats all his seed today will have nothing to plant tomorrow. In the same way, a believer who holds back everything out of fear of lack will never see the harvest that faithful giving was designed to produce.

 

PERSONAL CHALLENGE

Today, examine your giving with honesty before God. If you have been inconsistent or grudging in this area, commit before Him to give faithfully and cheerfully from this day forward, regardless of the size of the gift.

 

EVANGELISM CHALLENGE

Share with someone today the truth that giving is not about religious obligation but about trusting God as the source of provision, and encourage them to test God’s faithfulness according to Malachi 3:10.
