Every man is born selfish but when we are born again we become generous like our heavenly father. When we are saved, God changed our heart so we can give everything when God ask. The Lord is able to give us a generous to give generously to God's people and God's work." God can change a selfish heart to a liberal and generous heart. talking about liberality-the practice of being generous and free with our material possessions. Take a look again at today's Scripture, which says, "You shall supply him liberally from your flock, from your threshing floor, and from your winepress.”
We may not have threshing floors or winepresses nowadays, but we are still called to give liberally from what God has blessed us with. We are not to be stingy in our giving; we are to be generous. That's why we must cultivate a liberal heart. This goes against the grain of our fallen natures, but it's perfectly consistent with the new natures we received when we gave our lives to Jesus. The key to walking in the new nature, rather than the old one, is simply a matter of renewing your mind. Romans 12:2 says, "And do not be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind."Mind renewal brings transformation. Once we've been transformed in this area, there's one more work God must do in our hearts-we must develop a grateful heart.
Give them some of your flock, your grain, and your wine, giving to them as the Lord has given to you. NCV
(DEUTERONOMY 15:14)
Let's look at Deuteronomy 15:15: "You shall remember that you were a slave in the land of Egypt, and the Lord your God redeemed you; therefore I command you this thing today." Why did God instruct the Israelites to remember they had been slaves? Because it would fill their hearts with gratitude for what He had done for them.
Just imagine what the Lord can do through us when we renew our minds to become generous, grateful givers! Today, I challenge you to ask Him to give you a grateful heart and see what opportunities He gives you to be generous.
