Now you understand what money is and the practical principles of how people make money. Today we are talking about the spiritual principles of giving.
Not giving out of fear or to “unlock a miracle” or because someone pressured me from a pulpit.
But giving as a principle of alignment.
Giving Is About Trust, Not Transactions
The world teaches us to hold tightly to money.
God teaches us to hold it open-handed.
Giving is not a transaction with God—it’s a declaration of trust.
“Where your treasure is, there your heart will be also.” — Matthew 6:21
Every time I give, I’m not just releasing money—I’m releasing control.
I’m saying, “God, I trust You more than I trust this amount.”
And that kind of trust reshapes how I earn, save, spend, and invest.
Money Reveals, It Doesn’t Corrupt
Money doesn’t make us greedy—it reveals what already lives in our hearts.
Fearful, money exposes it.
Generous, money amplifies it.
Insecure, money becomes my crutch.
Giving forces an internal audit:
- Am I operating from abundance or scarcity?
- Do I believe God is my source—or just my skills?
- Am I stewarding, or am I hoarding?
Spiritual maturity shows up in how freely I can give without resentment.
The Principle of the Seed
The Bible constantly uses agricultural language for a reason.
Seeds are meant to be released, not stored forever.
“Whoever sows sparingly will also reap sparingly, and whoever sows generously will also reap generously.” — 2 Corinthians 9:6
A seed in my hand does nothing.
A seed in the ground multiplies.
Giving is planting—with faith, patience, and obedience.
And just like farming, the harvest doesn’t come immediately or on my timeline.
Giving Aligns Me With Purpose
I’ve noticed something powerful:
When I give intentionally, my money starts to follow meaning.
I’m no longer just asking, “How much does this cost?”
I’m asking, “What does this build?”
Giving aligns my finances with:
- Kingdom impact
- Community upliftment
- Personal integrity
It keeps me from chasing money without direction—and reminds me that wealth without purpose is empty.
Giving Is Also About Readiness
God doesn’t increase what we misuse.
If I can’t steward ₦10,000 with wisdom, integrity, and generosity, why would I be trusted with ₦10 million?
Giving trains my heart for increase.
It teaches me:
- Discipline
- Detachment
- Discernment
And most importantly—it prepares me to handle abundance without losing myself.
This Is Not About Guilt—It’s About Growth
Let me be clear:
Giving is not about pressure.
It’s not about comparison.
It’s not about emptying yourself to prove spirituality.
Giving is about growth.
It’s about becoming the kind of person who can receive more without fear, pride, or greed.
Because money is a tool and a tool is only as effective as the master who knows how to use it.
Final Reflection
Money answers to principles—both natural and spiritual.
And if I want money to flow through me and not control me, I have to practice giving—not as a performance, but as a posture.
Giving doesn’t make me poor.
It makes me free.
