Generosity...the Killer of Pride

Pay it forward.” This popular phrase describes the importance of taking the good things one receives and giving to others. Paul realized this principle as he challenged the Corinthians to consider the purpose of God’s provision.




You will be made rich in every way so that you can be generous on every occasion, and through us your generosity will result in thanksgiving to God (2Corinthians9:11).



God’s blessing and provision bring much joy to our lives. Many believers received exactly what they need at precisely the right moment. Other believers seem to receive much more than they need. The key principle lies in the purpose for the provision God gives us. God desires that we “pay it forward” in generously giving as He directs.



Regardless of how we might feel about our personal wealth, God gives us the means to bless His kingdom and those around us. He wants us to look for opportunities to pass on His great blessings
