“Remember this: A stingy planter will only reap a small crop. But
anyone who sows generously will also reap generously. So, each of
you should give serious consideration to what you want to give God,
not reluctantly or under pressure, for God loves a cheerful giver.
And you can be sure that God is able to bless you with all His grace,
so that in all things, at all times, you will always have all you need,
and you’ll ALSO OVERFLOW so you can give to every good work.”
2 Corinthians 9:6-8 (CEV)
“‘Bring your full tithe to My storehouse, so that there will be food in My
House. Test Me now in this,’ says the Lord, ‘and see if I will not open

OVERFLOWS.’” Malachi 3:10 (NASB)
Jesus: “If you give, you will receive back. Your gift will be returned
to you in full measure, packed down and shaken to make room for
more, and RUNNING OVER. Whatever measure you use in giving
– large or small – it will be used to measure whatever is given back
to you.” Luke 6:38 (NLT)
