If I’m generous, they will become dependent on charity [Video]

If I’m generous, they will become dependent on charity

I can’t have a Heart of Generosity. I don’t want to give to them because they will become dependent on charity. Full message here: https://youtu.be/gdg_3gUud6U

~ Yes, that is a risk. This one is true.
~ It is important to handle generosity properly
~ Give a man a fish, fed him for a day ~ Teach a man to fish, you have fed him for a lifetime. Teach a man to beg for fish, he will be begging for a lifetime.

~ Be strategic with your generosity.

~ Entitlement is the notion that people have a right to a particular benefit, without earning it. This is an attitude that has become prevalent: giving people something for nothing.

But, having said that,
~ Not being a generous person is also a choice that has entitlement all over it. We must be careful that we don’t point a finger either way.

Instead let’s be more strategic and make sure we are using generosity to make a difference.

2 Thessalonians 3:10-12
“For even when we were with you, we would give you this command: If anyone is not willing to work, let him not eat. For we hear that some among you walk in idleness, not busy at work, but busybodies. Now such persons we command and encourage in the Lord Jesus Christ to do their work quietly and to earn their own living.”

This is one of the reasons I’m against the idea of just sending money without any personal connection to the passion area. If it is a passion area go all in.

Time, talent, and treasure…get involved, what are those skills you can add to the ministry you love; how can you volunteer time to advance the movement you care so deeply about. When you give money how can you strategically give that offering, the above and beyond blessing to pour gas on a fire. You can only answer that when you personally go all in with that mission.

This comes from a Heart of Generosity, and it is life changing.
