The Rewards of Giving is a 30 day devotional to help you find the many blessings the giver receives as they become a consistent giver in the Kingdom of God. It is designed to give you a thought of understanding with a scripture so you can meditate that thought in prayer and Word and start having great expectancy of reaping throughout your future.

Have you ever noticed when you get into a season of giving how you come alive? This is because you are created in my image. Your born again spirit is like me. I love to give. I gave my son, the Holy Spirit, Myself, and all heaven has to offer because I love you and love is always giving. When you begin giving, my nature will manifest in you. When you become a giver you become the environment I love to live and work in. I know a lot about you and what causes you to be your best and enjoy life. I can help you know these things.

Let’s Talk- Jesus

 

Day 1

It is true that I have always given you my best because I love you. My heart is always giving. You are created in my image. Your born again heart lives to give. I can help you know me and know the new person you are since you have been born again. Let’s Talk-

Jesus

“For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life.”

John 3:16 KJV

 

Day 2

I want you to store your treasure in heaven. When you give in spirit and truth it keeps what I have given you from being stolen. When you store your treasure in heaven, it’s still yours; I won’t steal it either. Let me teach you and lead you in your giving. Let’s Talk-Jesus

“Lay not up for yourselves treasures upon earth, where moth and rust doth corrupt, and where thieves break through and steal: But lay up for yourselves treasures in heaven, where neither moth nor rust doth corrupt, and where thieves do not break through nor steal:”

Matthew 6:19-20 KJV

 

 

Day 3

I don’t need your money or your dearest possessions, I want your heart. I know your heart will always follow your treasure. I can teach you and lead you in your giving. I can help your heart to see me, know me and follow me. Let’s Talk-Jesus

“For where your treasure is, there will your heart be also.” Matthew 6:21 KJV

 

 

Day 4

 

If your heart is completely into Me, you will be filled with light. Being filled with light causes the words in the Bible to jump off the pages. It causes you to see and understand my truth as you read or hear my Word preached. Giving to Me is simply paying your light bill. When your heart or spirit is full of light I can teach you and reveal myself to you. Let’s Talk-Jesus

“For where your treasure is, there will your heart be also. The light of the body is the eye: if therefore thine eye be single, thy whole body shall be full of light.”

Matthew 6:21-22 KJV

 

 

Day 5

When you are double minded…torn between Me, my ways and thoughts and the thoughts that you give the same or more value too…you live with darkness. Even though you are born again you are blind to truth in my Word as you read or hear it preached. I can help you become single minded again. I can help you back into the light and the joy of the salvation you have received from me. I can teach you to become the giver you are created to be. Let’s Talk-Jesus

“For where your treasure is, there will your heart be also. The light of the body is the eye: if therefore thine eye be single, thy whole body shall be full of light. But if thine eye be evil, thy whole body shall be full of darkness. If therefore the light that is in thee be darkness, how great is that darkness!”

Matthew 6:21-23 KJV

 

 

 

Day 6

I always promise that when you give, it will come back to you with more. I gave Jesus and he came back with a great harvest, a Bride. Let’s talk-God

“Give, and it shall be given unto you; good measure, pressed down, and shaken together, and running over, shall men give into your bosom. For with the same measure that ye mete withal it shall be measured to you again.”

 

Luke 6:38 KJV

 

 

Day 7

It is important for you to understand that receiving is as important as giving. I want to give you more and more and more so you can give and give and give. I want to help you come to a place that you give out of abundance. Let’s Talk-Jesus

“Give, and it shall be given unto you; good measure, pressed down, and shaken together, and running over, shall men give into your bosom. For with the same measure that ye mete withal it shall be measured to you again.” Luke 6:38 KJV

 

 

 

Day 8

My greatest resource in the earth is people. Sowing and reaping involves people on both sides. Let me help you start the process. Let’s Talk-Jesus

 

“Give, and it shall be given unto you; good measure, pressed down, and shaken together, and running over, shall men give into your bosom. For with the same measure that ye mete withal it shall be measured to you again.” Luke 6:38 KJV

 

 

 

Day 9

Giving has a twofold blessing. You take care of what is important to Me and I take care of what is important to you. I can show you what is important to me. Let’s Talk-Jesus

“Bring ye all the tithes into the storehouse, that there may be meat in mine house, and prove me now herewith, saith the Lord of hosts, if I will not open you the windows of heaven, and pour you out a blessing, that there shall not be room enough to receive it. And I will rebuke the devourer for your sakes, and he shall not destroy the fruits of your ground; neither shall your vine cast her fruit before the time in the field, saith the Lord of hosts. And all nations shall call you blessed: for ye shall be a delightsome land, saith the Lord of hosts.”

Malachi 3:10-12 KJV

 

 

 

Day 10

When you give tithes and offerings I promise to keep the enemy away from your possessions. I will cause what you have to go further. Let’s Talk-Jesus

“Bring ye all the tithes into the storehouse, that there may be meat in mine house, and prove me now herewith, saith the Lord of hosts, if I will not open you the windows of heaven, and pour you out a blessing, that there shall not be room enough to receive it. And I will rebuke the devourer for your sakes, and he shall not destroy the fruits of your ground; neither shall your vine cast her fruit before the time in the field, saith the Lord of hosts. And all nations shall call you blessed: for ye shall be a delightsome land, saith the Lord of hosts.”

Malachi 3:10-12 KJV

 

 

Day 11

Being a giver causes you to manifest my character and the fruit of my Spirit. It causes you to be someone others want to be around. I can help you understand this favor. Let’s Talk-

Jesus

“Bring ye all the tithes into the storehouse, that there may be meat in mine house, and prove me now herewith, saith the Lord of hosts, if I will not open you the windows of heaven, and pour you out a blessing, that there shall not be room enough to receive it. And I will rebuke the devourer for your sakes, and he shall not destroy the fruits of your ground; neither shall your vine cast her fruit before the time in the field, saith the Lord of hosts. And all nations shall call you blessed: for ye shall be a delightsome land, saith the Lord of hosts.”

Malachi 3:10-12 KJV

 

 

Day 12

When you put me first in your giving it causes an overflow of spiritual and natural blessings. I can show you all of them and manifest them in your life. Let’s Talk-Jesus

“Honour the Lord with thy substance, and with the firstfruits of all thine increase: So shall thy barns be filled with plenty, and thy presses shall burst out with new wine.”

Proverbs 3:9-10 KJV

 

 

 

Day 13

You are the greatest seed you can sow. If you sow to the Spirit you will miss a lot of hard times and find My life for you. If you follow me your life will become a huge blessing. Let’s Talk-Jesus

“Be not deceived; God is not mocked: for whatsoever a man soweth, that shall he also reap. For he that soweth to his flesh shall of the flesh reap corruption; but he that soweth to the Spirit shall of the Spirit reap life everlasting.”

Galatians 6:7-8 KJV

 

 

Day 14

If you want to be the one that reaps big, you have to become the one that gives big. I can give you the faith to give big. Let’s Talk-Jesus

“But this I say, He which soweth sparingly shall reap also sparingly; and he which soweth bountifully shall reap also bountifully.”

2 Corinthians 9:6 KJV

 

Day 15

Being a cheerful giver can only come with a revelation of the power of giving. Our Father loves cheerful givers. I can help you with your attitude. Let’s Talk-Jesus

“Every man according as he purposeth in his heart, so let him give; not grudgingly, or of necessity: for God loveth a cheerful giver.”

2 Corinthians 9:7 KJV

 

Day 16

When you purpose in your heart to give without our Father telling you to, a special blessing of all grace abounding in our lives comes. It releases our Fathers ability, nature and favor in every area of your life. Let me show you more about this. Let’s Talk-Jesus

“Every man according as he purposeth in his heart, so let him give; not grudgingly, or of necessity: for God loveth a cheerful giver.”

2 Corinthians 9:7 KJV

“And God is able to make all grace abound toward you; that ye, always having all suffciency in all things, may abound to every good work:”

2 Corinthians 9:8 KJV

 

Day 17

Our Father always gives you more to give while meeting your every need. Once you understand and agree with this, your resources will flow like a river. I can help you understand and believe it. Let’s Talk-Jesus

“Now he that ministereth seed to the sower both minister bread for your food, and multiply your seed sown, and increase the fruits of your righteousness;)”

2 Corinthians 9:10 KJV

 

 

Day 18

Faithful givers gain more faith and grow in right standing with God. Givers can believe God for almost anything. I can help you. Let’s Talk-Jesus

“Now he that ministereth seed to the sower both minister bread for your food, and multiply your seed sown, and increase the fruits of your righteousness

“Being enriched in every thing to all bountifulness, which causeth through us thanksgiving to God.”

2 Corinthians 9:10-11 KJV

 

 

Day 19

Radical givers have a great reward in Heaven. Much like the disciples that gave it all, they joyfully will do the same. I gave it all. Let’s Talk-Jesus

“For ye had compassion of me in my bonds, and took joyfully the spoiling of your goods, knowing in yourselves that ye have in heaven a better and an enduring substance.”

Hebrews 10:34 KJV

 

 

Day 20

The greatest gift is not measured in money, it is in how much of yourself you give. This is what our Father is looking for. Let’s Talk-Jesus

“And he looked up, and saw the rich men casting their gifts into the treasury. And he saw also a certain poor widow casting in thither two mites. And he said, Of a truth I say unto you, that this poor widow hath cast in more than they all: For all these have of their abundance cast in unto the offerings of God: but she of her penury hath cast in all the living that she had.”

Luke 21:1-4 KJV

 

Day 21

You can build a memorial to our Father that can be seen in Heaven with your giving. It can bring you special favor and great results for your family. Let’s Talk-Jesus

“There was a certain man in Caesarea called Cornelius, a centurion of the band called the Italian band, A devout man, and one that feared God with all his house, which gave much alms to the people, and prayed to God alway. He saw in a vision evidently about the ninth hour of the day an angel of God coming in to him, and saying unto him, Cornelius. And when he looked on him, he was afraid, and said, What is it, Lord? And he said unto him, Thy prayers and thine alms are come up for a memorial before God.”

Acts 10:1-4 KJV

 

 

 

Day 22

When you give apples you reap apples, when you give food you reap food, when you give cars you reap cars, when you give buildings you reap buildings, when you sow love you reap love, when you sow joy you reap joy. You always harvest from the seed you sow.

Let’s talk-Jesus

 

“And the earth brought forth grass, and herb yielding seed after his kind, and the tree yielding fruit, whose seed was in itself, after his kind: and God saw that it was good.”

Genesis 1:12 KJV

 

Day 23

You must give in secret so that you can receive the reward of their Heavenly Father openly.

You can talk to me. I can keep a secret. Let’s Talk-Jesus

“Take heed that ye do not your alms before men, to be seen of them: otherwise ye have no reward of your Father which is in heaven. Therefore when thou doest thine alms, do not sound a trumpet before thee, as the hypocrites do in the synagogues and in the streets, that they may have glory of men. Verily I say unto you, They have their reward. But when thou doest alms, let not thy left hand know what thy right hand doeth: That thine alms may be in secret: and thy Father which seeth in secret himself shall reward thee openly.”

Matthew 6:1-4 KJV

 

Day 24

The seasons of sowing and reaping are different most of the time. As you sow stay strong in faith until the Harvest is gathered. I can help you know the seasons. Let’s Talk-Jesus

“And let us not be weary in well doing: for in due season we shall reap, if we faint not.” Galatians 6:9 KJV

 

 

Day 25

Giving to the poor brings a guarantee of payback from your Father. Look and see the heart of your Father and give. I can help you. Let’s Talk-Jesus

“He that hath pity upon the poor lendeth unto the Lord; and that which he hath given will he pay him again.”

Proverbs 19:17 KJV

 

 

 

Day 26

Many like to give to the poor, to programs or to buildings which all have its place and is good; however, when you give tithes and offering you give directly to our Father. This requires finding ministers who have died to self and are under the headship of Jesus Christ. They have Churches and Ministries that are set up showing accountability and stewardship.

“And here men that die receive tithes; but there he receiveth them, of whom it is witnessed that he liveth.”

Hebrews 7:8 KJV

 

 

Day 27

If you are led by the Spirit you can get involved in Supernatural giving and Supernatural receiving. This requires obedience to a direct Word from God. Let’s Talk-Jesus

“But Jesus said unto them, They need not depart; give ye them to eat. And they say unto him, We have here but five loaves, and two fishes. He said, Bring them hither to me. And he commanded the multitude to sit down on the grass, and took the five loaves, and the two fishes, and looking up to heaven, he blessed, and brake, and gave the loaves to his disciples, and the disciples to the multitude. And they did all eat, and were filled: and they took up of the fragments that remained twelve baskets full.”

Matthew 14:16-20 KJV

 

 

 

Day 28

The zero factor is when there is nothing left that you can do in the natural. What you have is not enough. You sow out of it, or sow all of it, and watch our Father do a miracle. Givers know their Father will lead and come through. I can help you believe. Let’s Talk-

Jesus

“And the word of the Lord came unto him, saying, Arise, get thee to Zarephath, which belongeth to Zidon, and dwell there: behold, I have commanded a widow woman there to sustain thee. So he arose and went to Zarephath. And when he came to the gate of the city, behold, the widow woman was there gathering of sticks: and he called to her, and said, Fetch me, I pray thee, a little water in a vessel, that I may drink. And as she was going to fetch it, he called to her, and said, Bring me, I pray thee, a morsel of bread in thine hand. And she said, As the Lord thy God liveth, I have not a cake, but an handful of meal in a barrel, and a little oil in a cruse: and, behold, I am gathering two sticks, that I may go in and dress it for me and my son, that we may eat it, and die. And Elijah said unto her, Fear not; go and do as thou hast said: but make me thereof a little cake first, and bring it unto me, and after make for thee and for thy son. For thus saith the Lord God of Israel, The barrel of meal shall not waste, neither shall the cruse of oil fail, until the day that the Lord sendeth rain upon the earth.”

1 Kings 17:8-14 KJV

 

 

 

Day 29

The giver lives with the promise that all our needs will be supplied according to His riches in glory. This means that you are living in God’s goodness and His light shines upon you.

Givers, you and I need to stick together. Let’s Talk-Jesus

“But my God shall supply all your need according to his riches in glory by Christ Jesus.” Philippians 4:19 KJV

 

 

Day 30

Our Father is the greatest giver. He has given you and me all He has. You are created in His image and will never know who you are until you make giving a lifestyle.

“Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who hath blessed us with all spiritual blessings in heavenly places in Christ:”

Ephesians 1:3 KJV
