When I give, I receive. Sounds weird?

let me give you true to life examples:

1. I was going to Bogota Colombia and I needed P150,000. Days before the flight I was short P50,000. What did I do? I gave away P5000 and trusted the Lord to provide for my trip. The next day I received $200.

2. I am a tither. I give 10% to the church. When i was single I decided to go beyond my tithe. i was earning P10,000 a month. When I started giving beyond my tithes my salary multiplied 4x the next month.

3. When my wife gave birth to our 2nd daughter we decided to lessen our giving. After 3 months we realized our income got smaller as well. We then decided to stretch our faith and start giving more than what is required of us. The day we decided, we got a letter with a cash enclosed in it.

Give, and it will be given to you. A good measure, pressed down, shaken together and running over, will be poured into your lap. For with the measure you use, it will be measured to you.” Luke 6:38
