To the degree that we are Givers is the degree that we have received the nature of God.   

This is why we are encouraged to Give freely from our hearts - not grudgingly.   

Give and it shall be given to you in greater abundance.   

Then the people rejoiced, for that they offered willingly, because with perfect heart they offered willingly to the Lord: and David the king also rejoiced with great joy. 1Ch 29:9

I know also, my Lord, that you try the heart, and have pleasure in uprightness.     As for me, in the uprightness of my heart I have willingly offered all these things: and now have I seen with joy your people, which are present here, to offer willingly unto you. 1Ch 29:17 God looks at our Heart to see if it is like His or not.     Those who desire Him will be given His Holy Spirit and so be like Him.      Such a person will be a Giver like their Father who Gives out of His willing Heart.

Every man according as he purposes in his heart, so let him give; not grudgingly, or of necessity: for the Lord loves a cheerful giver. 2Co 9:7 Our heart should always operate in honesty and sincerety.     If what comes out of us is evil it means we need a heart change.      Our Lord wants us to be like Him.     He is the greatest giver.

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 you mete with such it shall be measured to you again. Luk 6:38 Giving activates the principle of multiplication.

Bring you all the tithes into the storehouse, that there may be meat in my house, and prove me now herewith, says 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. Mal 3:10 Tithing is a result of Faith in the Spiritual Law of Sowing and Reaping.      We are Promised great Blessing for Honoring God with the firstfruits of our Increase.

But I have said unto you, You shall inherit their land, and I will give it unto you to possess it, a land that flows with milk and honey: I am the Lord your Lord, which have separated you from other people. Lev 20:24 God owns everything because He created everything.     This gives Him the right to give what He has created to whomsoever He will.

But you shall remember the Lord your Lord: for it is he that gives you power to get wealth, that he may establish his covenant which he sware unto your fathers, as it is this day. Deu 8:18 Here it is.     God empowers us.     Without Him we can do nothing.     Joh 15:5 Wealth is created by effort that requires power.     The Lord provides the power and we provide the effort.         ➛ No power, no wealth.         ➛ No effort, no wealth.      The secret to success in life is to partner with the Lord Jesus Christ Mat 6:33.

Every man shall give as he is able, according to the blessing of the Lord your Lord which he has given you. Deu 16:17 If you give what you can today, God will Increase you so that you will be able to give more in the future.

Speak unto the children of Israel, that they bring me an offering: of every man that gives it willingly with his heart you shall take my offering. Exo 25:2 The Seed must be in Good Ground.     Good Ground is a willing Heart.      Good Ground is more important than what comes out of it.

And they came, both men and women, as many as were willing hearted, and brought bracelets, and earrings, and rings, and tablets, all jewels of gold: and every man that offered offered an offering of gold unto the Lord. Exo 35:22 Willing is an aspect of the Heart.     God is always focused on the Heart.     If the Heart is Good Ground there will be Good Fruit springing out of it.

Give unto the Lord the glory due unto his name: bring an offering, and come into his courts. Psm 96:8 Our first and greatest gift is one of praise and thanksgiving to our Lord.      When our heart sees His glory and honours Him, we will give of the material things of life willingly.

Of the first of your dough you shall give unto the Lord an heave offering in your generations. Num 15:21 Honouring God and putting Him first is an aspect of Righteousness.     Giving is an aspect of our Honour for Him.

Give unto the Lord the glory due unto his name: bring an offering, and come before him: worship the Lord in the beauty of holiness. 1Ch 16:29 Our God is so magnificent that we will never Give Him the Glory due His Name.     But we have all Eternity to try.      Those who can distinguish Light from Darkness Worship God because of His Beautiful Holiness.

And blessed be the most high Lord, which has delivered your enemies into your hand.     And he gave him tithes of all. Gen 14:20

You shall truly tithe all the increase of your seed, that the field brings forth year by year. Deu 14:22

Honour the Lord with your substance, and with the firstfruits of all your increase: Pro 3:9 The Holy Spirit deserves our best because He has given His best - Christ Jesus.      As we give we experience the Law of Multiplication.

So shall your barns be filled with plenty, and your presses shall burst out with new wine. Pro 3:10 Christ Jesus has made it possible for us to receive Eternal Life and Abundant Life.     We are to prosper in every sense of the word.

There is that scatters, and yet increases; and there is that withholds more than is meet, but it tends to poverty. Pro 11:24 The Spiritual Law of Sowing and Reaping reflects God`s nature.      We should operate in that Law and so reflect God`s nature.      The person who refuses to Sow will not Prosper, rather they will come to Poverty.

The liberal soul shall be made fat: and he that waters shall be watered also himself. Pro 11:25 The person whose nature is to give, operates in the spiritual law of Sowing And Reaping.      Such a person will prosper.

But this I say, He which sows sparingly shall reap also sparingly; and he which sows bountifully shall reap also bountifully. 2Co 9:6 The law of Sowing And Reaping combined with the Law Of Multiplication enables those who observe it to prosper in the Kingdom Of God and in every area of their lives.      The reason why a person sows bountifully is that they have Heart Faith.     The reason a person sows sparingly is that they operate in Head Faith tempered with doubt.

Every man according as he purposes in his heart, so let him give; not grudgingly, or of necessity: for the Lord loves a cheerful giver. 2Co 9:7 Our heart should always operate in honesty and sincerety.     If what comes out of us is evil it means we need a heart change.      Our Lord wants us to be like Him.     He is the greatest giver.

And the Holy Spirit is able to make all grace abound toward you; that you, always having all sufficiency in all things, may abound to every good work: 2Co 9:8 Our Lord`s priority is that we do His works in the earth.     But for us to do that we must    ➛ have the Mind Of Christ and    ➛ have His Holy Spirit in us.      When we come to that point of agreement with the Lord we begin to abound in good works in every area of our lives.

I have showed you all things, how that so labouring you ought to support the weak, and to remember the words of the Lord Jesus, how he said, It is more blessed to give than to receive. Act 20:35 Jesus is referring to the Spiritual Law of Sowing And Reaping.      If no one prospers, no one is able to help the weak.      It requires labor to prosper.

But to do good and to communicate forget not: for with such sacrifices the Lord is well pleased. Heb 13:16 We ought to look for every opportunity to be a blessing.

But when you do alms, let not your left hand know what your right hand does: Mat 6:3 Give as unto the Lord, willingly and joyfully.

That your alms may be in secret: and your Father which sees in secret himself shall reward you openly. Mat 6:4 The Lord looks at the heart.     When we operate from a heart inspired by His Spirit there is blessing and reward.

The desire of the slothful kills him; for his hands refuse to labour. Pro 21:25 The distinction is between a Producer and an Eater.     The Eater consumes all he has and is left destitute.

He covets greedily all the day long: but the righteous gives and spares not. Pro 21:26 An Eater is constantly looking for something to Eat, to consume.     A person who is Right with God is a Producer and a Giver.

God is the greatest giver.   All things come from Him.   He even gave His Son.
