2 Corinthians 9:6-11
2 Corinthians 9:6-11
New Living Translation (NLT)
6 Remember this—a farmer who plants only a few seeds will get a small crop. But the one who plants generously will get a generous crop. 7 You must each decide in your heart how much to give. And don’t give reluctantly or in response to pressure. “For God loves a person who gives cheerfully.”[a] 8 And God will generously provide all you need. Then you will always have everything you need and plenty left over to share with others. 9 As the Scriptures say,
“They share freely and give generously to the poor.
Their good deeds will be remembered forever.”[b]
10 For God is the one who provides seed for the farmer and then bread to eat. In the same way, he will provide and increase your resources and then produce a great harvest of generosity[c] in you.
11 Yes, you will be enriched in every way so that you can always be generous. And when we take your gifts to those who need them, they will thank God.

Making Money Honestly
1. The Habit of
Now this should be a no-brainer to all of us but just in case it’s not – God doesn’t bless cheaters. He doesn’t bless people who deceive and He certainly doesn’t bless people who are thieves.

Saving Money Consistently
