The Spiritual Equation of Giving and Prosperity
Discover the profound impact your generosity can have on your spiritual journey as we unpack the Christian principle of giving. This week, we're not just sharing stories; we're revealing how each act of charity is a stepping stone to greater faith and prosperity. By exploring the biblical narratives of Abraham and the loaves and fishes, we'll illustrate how your offerings are investments in both your future and the advancement of God's kingdom. Inspired by the ultimate gift of God's son, we delve into the idea that what we give in love is multiplied in its use, nurturing our own spiritual growth and serving others.
Transform your understanding of offerings from a mere charitable act to a strategic faith decision that can usher in waves of abundance. With the widow's oil and Cornelius' offering as our guiding tales, we'll demonstrate that a cheerful spirit and expectancy in giving can shatter the chains of poverty, opening doors to God's endless provisions. As Prophet Tracey Oncook, I'll wrap up our enlightening discussion with assurances of my prayers for your faith journey and God's unwavering love. Don't miss out on next week's episode, where special guests will join us to further enrich our collective path to spiritual prosperity.

God bless you. This is Prophet Tristan Al-Qaida. Welcome to Faith E'Night TV program today. Well, we know that God is up to something good. We can be talking about the God of enough, whatever you believe in God, for you're standing on the threshold of the greatest financial turnaround, the greatest spiritual awakening coming into your inheritance, where whatever God has ever promised you or said to you will come to pass for the glory of God. So go ahead and share this right now to all the Facebook friends and family watching on YouTube. Listen, let them know, listen. Faith TV is on the air from border, border from coast around the world. We invite you to the greatest happening in your life, and I'm excited today and this teaching.
Speaker 1:We want to talk about the principle of giving, and why is giving such an essential part of our Christian faith? Ventured with God, you know, for God's alone, the world, first and foremost. He gave his only gotten son. The very best treasure that heaven had to offer was his beloved son, who he sent to die as a ransom for our sins Iniquity. By his sacrifice, we have the rights and ability to live a victorious life. So now in Luke, chapter six, verse 38, give, and it shall be given unto you good measure, restown, shaken together, running over, shall men give into your bosom, for with the same measure that you meet, whether it shall be measured to you again. Well, first and foremost, let's start with the first point of our Christian faith Giving. See, it's not that God wants to take something from you, he wants to ask something to you. And let's look here he is teaching us give and it shall be given unto you, good measure, restown, shaken together, running over, shall men give into your bosom, for with the same measure you meet, whether it shall be measured to you again. Now he's beginning to teach us what the principle of giving. Why is giving so important? Giving enhances your relationship, ladies and gentlemen. And what we don't understand about giving is this it shows just not the Christian conduct, or what you're doing is showing forth that God's principles in your life, you obey God's principles and produces prosperity in your life. Oh, praise the Lord. I'm just so excited about this teaching on the God of enough. Whatever you need, god, he's the God of enough. He specializes in the impossible. And listen, he's up to something bigger than you and I can put together for the glory of God.
Speaker 1:Giving is the first, the second miracle, you begin to understand that from Philippians 419, the Old Testament. It records covenant and it ends with the thread of what we need to understand and the Old Covenant. We have the Old Covenant and New Covenant coming together. Well, throughout the Old Covenant we can see where people gave of their time, their lives, their resources. Abraham, he's sewn onto the priest's molestation deck, tithing of all his earthen. So we know that it's biblical tithing. We know that when we give, we are giving for the work in the kingdom of God. So, number one, we're talking about giving. You know we're in the month of December and you have to understand that he is the reason for our very living, our very existence. Right now, everything we say and do is centered around who we are in the kingdom of God. Nothing has caught God unaware. So I just want to dissect this just a little bit.
Speaker 1:Jesus opened up a whole new way of giving. First, he gave himself totally to meet the needs of the people, paying the full price, the penalty of sin, by going to the cross, therefore fulfilling the Old Covenant and giving us the New Covenant. He paid the price in full. Therefore, we can no longer be victims. Unless we permit ourselves to be victims. You cannot be a victim unless you think yourself as a victim. But as a man, thank you so easy. If you think yourself already victorious, then you're going to experience victory in your life. Giving is no longer a debt I owe, but a sea I sow. Let me say that again Giving is no longer a debt that I owe because he paid a debt that I could not pay. So therefore, now my giving is not a debt that I owe, but a seat I sow towards my future. I understand that when I sow towards my future, it's been infitting who I am in the kingdom. It's built up my relationship For God so loved the world John 3, 16, that he gave what His very best.
Speaker 1:You know God often tests us in our giving and you know why is it important? It's the fundamental, it's the Christian fundamental. It's one of our foundational principle that we believe in is sowing. You sow in tears, you reap in joy. One sows one water and God brings to increase. So we believe in sowing, not what we can get, but for the advancement of souls, because he that wins souls is what Wise. So when you begin to see giving, you see not what's leaving you or leaving your life. It's actually building up for your tomorrow, the whole beauty of this.
Speaker 1:You know the two fishes and the five borrower's. Disciples the multitude are thrown all around. And Jesus said set them down and feed them. Then the disciples spoke up we don't have enough to feed all these crowds of people. And then a little lad with his lunch. He had two fishes and five borrower's. Jesus used that opportunity. He sowed it into the life of Jesus' ministry. And when he sowed it, god began to multiply it. It wasn't leaving the young lad's hands, they weren't trying to take his lunch from him. It was teaching a principle that when you sow it, gotta grow it. When you plant it into good grounds, fertile grounds, when you plant it into the anani, that's when it begins to prosper blooms. So Jesus took the two fish and five borrower's, looked unto heaven and said Father, I thank you that you hear me always, not that I have to see anything to believe it, but now it began to multiply.
Speaker 1:Thousands upon thousands were fed by the obedience of a little boy's lunch, sewing into the life of the need of the people. There was a need that presented itself, but there was a sea that caused that need to be met. And then, all said and done, afterwards, everybody was fed, saw the miraculous hands of God, the supernatural invention of the Lord. Then you know what? And that's the place. There were 12 baskets full of fragments that the young boy. He never went hungry a day of his life.
Speaker 1:Why? Because it all starts out with a sea. You know, give and it shall be given to you. Good measure, press down, run over. We're talking about the running over, blessing some God. So we need to understand, ladies and gentlemen, listen, god is up to something great and powerful and we know that God's going to do what he says. This is going to. This is a tremendous time, like never before, to understand everything that God ever promised you is going to come to pass. Well, this is an opportunity for us to tap into the wealth of God. You know examples after examples after examples in the word of God.
Speaker 1:Now, the first thing is giving. The second thing is understanding that, the spirit of expectancy. You have to have the spirit of expectancy. What profit do I need to have a spirit of expectancy? Because when you expect, you put a demand on this sea and you name your sea, which is your need Now. Therefore. Now, all right, I'm going to name this sea. This is my most urgent need. I must sew myself into a breakthrough, into a miracle. You know, god don't mind you having things along with. They don't have you. He'll mind you having possession along with. They don't possess you. In other words, as long as they don't take your undivided attention, as long as they don't take you away from the principles of God.
Speaker 1:Ladies and gentlemen, I'm telling you this is a powerful word. Why? Number one? The principle to unlock your inheritance starts with a sea. Give the end shall be given unto you good measure pressed down, shaken together, running over favor with God and favor with man. Second of all, the spirit of expectancy becomes the breeding grounds of breakthroughs, and there is a breakthrough anointing right now. That breakthrough anointing will give you the power and ability to know who you are in God. Oh my Lord, breakthrough anointing. One of the things that God asks us to do is to stand in faith in that giving.
Speaker 1:Number three, where you have the spirit of expectancy, which is the breeding grounds of breakthroughs, turns around your life. Third of all, have faith that when you sow it, god's going to bring the increase Promotion. Don't come from the north, south, the east or west, but come from God, and we want to counsel out that spirit or any kind of influence that will be so negative into your life. They're trying to stop your inheritance, stop your blessings. Listen, I believe in the blessing covenants of God. I believe in those covenants so much that we centered the ministry around covenants with God. Why? Because we got to understand that. Ladies and gentlemen, this is a time like never before to sow into your tomorrow. We come into a new year. You want to sow into your tomorrow. The beauty of this is faith. The third part is faith. I have faith to believe that God will do what he says. I have faith to believe that God will counsel the plans of the enemy. I have faith to believe. So number three, number one give. Number two spirit of expectancy, which is a breeding ground for breakthroughs. Number three is faith. Cubesc Now, sometimes we make faith difficult when in fact it's not.
Speaker 1:Faith is not difficult. Faith has to be released in order for it to attract blessings to you. So when you release your faith to the Word of God, then you start seeing great and mighty results. This is Prophet Trish Allen Kutt, if you're just now tuning in welcome to Faith TV program, where God is doing miracles, signs and wonders. And we're talking about understanding sea timing, harvest what is it about a sea that produces a harvest? Well, any farmer knows that when you till the grounds, you've got to sow the sea, then you've got to tend to it, you've got to carry it, you've got to water it, pluck out the weeds from it, the tires from it, and then, all of a sudden, here come the whole harvest ready to be cropped. Well, that's the same way how God is. When you sow the seas over the years, then you find the covenant blessing we've been talking about. Just to reiterate, if you just hadn't been logging on, we're talking about give is the first key to unlock your inheritance.
Speaker 1:Number two you have to have a spirit of expectancy. When you expect something, that means that I'm believing I have a expectancy is going to happen. So it counts us out. Doubt, it counts out. Fear, it counts us out. What is because I have a expectancy is going to be just like God said it. It's going to happen just like God said it.
Speaker 1:So, number three, we're talking about faith that moves mountain, faith that picks you up from the place and brings you to the place of prosperity. Well, faith allows you to analyze the whole situation and see it like God sees it. So when you see faith, you see like God sees, no matter what it looks like or the outcome doesn't change the fact of who God is and his word. So oftentimes we analyze everything around us through cathedral as when we need to see through spiritual eyes, and we've been talking about examples of giving For God to love the world. The greatest treasure of heaven sent his son for a ransom for our iniquity and our sense of failures and giving us a future that's bright and glorious. So I want to encourage you, ladies and gentlemen listen, god is a God of miracles. Never underestimate who God is, because God is a God of miracles, he is a God of breakthroughs. And listen. The moment you think that you cannot come out is the moment that God's going to do what he says.
Speaker 1:So why is faith so important in our giving? I have to have faith when I release that seed. That's not leaving me, it's tapping into my future. So I sow that seed to a reminder that uncovered my tomorrow. You know the Bible said that Lord, he loves to cheer for giver. He owns all the cows on the thousand hills, all the sovereign gold as his. And those are benefits. Psalm 103, first three bless the Lord on my soul. Forget not all his benefits.
Speaker 1:So when we give, we're putting a demand, that need. We present that need before God with a C. We wrap that C around our knee and now we present that C before God and all of a sudden God begins to move off of because, listen, god moves off of principles. See, time in harvest. God moves off of principle. Why? Because he wants to teach you the God of enough, whatever you need. That's what God is. The way the woman, two sons, would get ready to be taken to ramps and the creditors were knocking on the door, ready to take her two boys. And the prophet of God said Go bar all the vessels in your community. Knock on the doors. Go bar whatever you got to do. Present our opportunity, present a seed. Well, that C is the opportunity on lots of miraculous. So she went out there and buried empty vessels and all of a sudden the anointing was released and now the ore began to run from barrel to barrel from barrel and the prophet said Go and sell the ore and you and your children live off the rest, pay your debt, live off the rest of that and they live their entire future off of the principle of what Understanding giving is my sea wrapped around my most urgent knee.
Speaker 1:So I want to teach you that. Number one it starts with you giving. Number two you have to have a spirit of expectancy which puts the man I know it's going to happen on it. I'm expecting it. Nothing is going to change or influence me away from that. I just believe that when I saw it it's coming back over and above. Number three understanding faith, how faith works and your relationship of giving. Because God wants me to understand. It's just not faith to save you or faith to heal you, faith to deliver you, but it's faith there to prosper you. So, god's word, when you work, it will work for you.
Speaker 1:Ladies and gentlemen, so we're talking about giving and shall be given unto you Good message press down, shaking together shaman, give into your bus. Oh, my God, so powerful to understand. Because now I'm breaking the spirit of poverty, that backup poverty. That's poverty, stricken mindset that leaves me to a graveyard emptiness. I'm breaking that spirit of poverty why? Because now I understand my sea is wrapped around my most urgent knee. Therefore, this sea is not leaving my life, it's adding to me. Oh my God, he loves the attitude of giving. When your attitude is just right, it brings you to the atmosphere where you understand.
Speaker 1:Why do we support ministries like this? Why do we support television programs? Why does we support orphan? Why do we have food distribution? Why do we send out clothes? Why do we do all this? It's not for self-glory or self-righteousness. It's a Christian way. It's a condo of every believer that when God begins to train you and develop you, you learn the principles of giving.
Speaker 1:Acts, chapter 10, is the greatest sample. Cornelius, the first Gentile, convert A Gentile, brought a move of God. God sent down the Jewish preacher by the name of Peter, rebute Peter, and said don't call anything unclean that I call clean. What he did in Acts, chapter 10, he used a components of prayer, fashion and giving and he built the synagogue for the Jewish nation. He sowed this seed around the most urgent knee. Therefore, after four days of seeking God, god sent the angel, said go down, your prayers have been heard. Go down, for after one, simultaneously or after another, one simultaneously or after another. And, oh my God, I want you to know that it brought a move of God in the household of Cornelius, the move of God to the Gentile believers. And now, today, you have an opportunity to make the difference in somebody's life by doing what these principle? The simple principle Number one giving.
Speaker 1:My attitude of giving is that I'm not doing this so I can get something out of it, even though when I give I have a spirit of expectancy that it's going to happen, that I am going to receive. But my attitude and giving means I'm just so thankful and grateful that I'm able to help ministries like this, able to wrap my most urgent knee around the sea of opportunity, plant it into somebody's life, plant it. Listen. You plant a smile into somebody's life, no matter what they go throughout the day. You can encourage them, lift their spirit up. You know, everything you do starts with giving. You serve in the food kitchens, or you serve the homeless, or you go to the nursing homes or hospitals.
Speaker 1:Whatever you do starts with the act of giving. I'm giving up my time, I'm giving up this moment so I can be able to wrap this seat around the most urgent knee and minister out of my giving. So when I minister out of my giving, it becomes a spirit of asbestos, which is the breeding grounds of breakthroughs. Given, it shall be given to you good measure, pressed down, running over. So if you want to overflow, run over blessings where the water's overflow is bale.
Speaker 1:You've got to understand God's principle. God gave his very best for you and us so we can be the household of faith. Now you have an opportunity. Apply these principles in your life, adopt these principles, use them every day in your life and watch God be the God of enough. Watch God supply your every need. Jehovah, the God that made provision for Abraham.
Speaker 1:When the sacrifice seems to be so misunderstood and what I mean by that in Genesis, chapter 22, you may not understand why you sacrifice so much. You sacrifice, but your sacrifices will reward you. It will reward you every single time and I was in Abraham go up to the Mount Moriah. All of a sudden, you know the story. God opened the heaven to angels, said hold that hand, do the laden no harm. Look to the corner of your eyes and that's a ram caught in the thicket. Why? Because Abraham wrapped the sea around his misurging knee, trusting God, having faith in God. Even though I don't understand it, I know it works. I know it works.
