Happy Thursday!
Last Monday, I shared with you the discipline of Money Management. You can check it here. First of the list is the Discipline of Giving. Now let's get into the details. To whom we should give? See the list below.
1. Give to yourself.
One reason why people have a hard time managing their finances its because they do not enjoy their finances. You should first give yourself your needs for clothing, decent shelter and healthy food. You are the one who works so it is important that you are well provided. But definitely this doesn't mean that you will spend everything to yourself, live within your means still is the key.
2. Give to your parents.
Giving to your parents is a good thing to do. It's biblical. The Bible says, honor your mother and Father so that you will live long life. This is the first command with a promise. Honoring parents can be manifested through giving them financial support. They have invested millions to you through your education so it is just right to give back. And the good about this, God has promised to bless you in return.
3. Give to those who needs.
If you have an excess, take time to help those in need. A generous heart is always blessed by God. You can support organizations, foundation or even people you know through your giving.
4. Give to the government.
Pay you taxes. I know how many people are irritated with taxes. But our tax is our way to finance our nation. So pay correct taxes. Just have a new mindset, instead of thinking that those taxes will be used by politicians for themselves, just think that through your taxes, you are blessing the nation!
5. Give to God.
And definitely, the most important. Give to God! In the Bible, Malachi 4:10 says, Bring the whole Tithes into the Storehouse that there may be food in my house. Test me in this, says the Lord Almighty, and see if I will not throw open the floodgates of Heaven and pour out so much blessing that there will not be room enough to store it. And this is the giving the keeps us from receiving more and more.
