A pastor argues that believers shouldn't wait for a raise or new job to start giving. God blesses those who act in faith first, not after they see results. Generosity now proves you're trustworthy with more later.
If you cannot be generous with what you have now, how are you supposed to be trusted with more? We have a lot of believers who say, well, once I get that job, or once I get that pay raise, once I pay off that loan, once I finally start making X amount a year, once my business finally starts turning that profit that I want to see, then and only then will I start to give. You see, we say, Father, bless me and I'll start to give. But God says, Start to give and I'll bless you. Faith acts before it sees.
