Gospel Reading For The Healing Message:  Matthew 22:15-22

Then the Pharisees went and plotted to entrap him in what he said. So they sent their disciples to him, along with the Herodians, saying, “Teacher, we know that you are sincere, and teach the way of God in accordance with truth, and show deference to no one; for you do not regard people with partiality. Tell us, then, what you think. Is it lawful to pay taxes to the emperor, or not?” But Jesus, aware of their malice, said, “Why are you putting me to the test, you hypocrites? Show me the coin used for the tax.” And they brought him a denarius. Then he said to them, “Whose head is this, and whose title?” They answered, “The emperor’s.” Then he said to them, “Give therefore to the emperor the things that are the emperor’s, and to God the things that are God’s.” When they heard this, they were amazed; and they left him and went away.


The kingdom of God is a kingdom of giving and receiving.

 

The Healing Message: 

Rules On Giving

1) Give freely without any condition.

Cure the sick, raise the dead, cleanse the lepers, cast out demons. You received without payment; give without payment.-Matthew 10:8


Give, and it will be given to you. A good measure, pressed down, shaken together, running over, will be put into your lap; for the measure you give will be the measure you get back.-Luke 6:38


2) Do your giving in secret; do not advertise.

Beware of practicing your piety before others in order to be seen by them; for then you have no reward from your Father in heaven. So whenever you give alms, do not sound a trumpet before you, as the hypocrites do in the synagogues and in the streets, so that they may be praised by others. Truly I tell you, they have received their reward. But when you give alms, do not let your left hand know what your right hand is doing, so that your alms may be done in secret; and your Father who sees in secret will reward you.-Matthew 6:1-4


3) Give according to your income or capacity to give in proportion to your income.

All shall give as they are able, according to the blessing of the LORD your God that he has given you.-Deuteronomy 16:17


4) Give regularly and continually on the first day of the week.

On the first day of every week, each of you is to put aside and save whatever extra you earn, so that collections need not be taken when I come.-1 Corinthians 16:2


You cannot say that you have nothing to give because you will always have something. As the scripture says:
The LORD is my shepherd, I shall not want.-Psalm 23:1


The point is this: the one who sows sparingly will also reap sparingly, and the one who sows bountifully will also reap bountifully.-2 Corinthians 9:6


5) Don't just give; give it joyfully in accordance with your heart's desire.

Each of you must give as you have made up your mind, not reluctantly or under compulsion, for God loves a cheerful giver. And God is able to provide you with every blessing in abundance, so that by always having enough of everything, you may share abundantly in every good work.-2 Corinthians 9:7-8


6) Give generously as much as you can.

We have gifts that differ according to the grace given to us: prophecy, in proportion to faith; ministry, in ministering; the teacher, in teaching;
the exhorter, in exhortation; the giver, in generosity; the leader, in diligence; the compassionate, in cheerfulness.-Romans 12:6-8


7) Give unto Caesar what is Caesar's and to God what is God's.

All tithes from the land, whether the seed from the ground or the fruit from the tree, are the LORD’S; they are holy to the LORD.-Leviticus 27:30


Bring the full tithe into the storehouse, so that there may be food in my house, and thus put me to the test, says the LORD of hosts; see if I will not open the windows of heaven for you and pour down for you an overflowing blessing. -Malachi 3:10



May you have a happy and prosperous life!


TO GOD BE THE GLORY!
