  Speaker 1: it aligned with that that you have already mapped out
• 1:14
  Speaker 1: for us and made aligned with your words, Lord God Father,
• 1:19
  Speaker 1: let me not lead anyone astray or go astray. Father

  Speaker 1: because I truly believe that you are going to move
• 1:35
  Speaker 1: on today, Father God, you say, well, one or two
• 1:37
  Speaker 1: are gathered in your name, that you would be in
• 1:39
  Speaker 1: the miss by the soul of Lord. I thank you
• 1:41
  Speaker 1: right now that we are gathering in your name. We

• 1:47
  Speaker 1: tourching and agree, and that you are yet gonna move
• 1:50
  Speaker 1: in each and every one of our lives. Lord, whatever
• 1:52
  Speaker 1: we have up before you, I know that you're already
• 1:54
  Speaker 1: working it out, Lord God. So Father, I just asked
• 1:57
  Speaker 1: that you just keep us humble and keep a state
• 1:59
  Speaker 1: on your word, no matter what it looked like. In
• 2:02
  Speaker 1: the natural Lord, keep moving in the spirit, keep aligning

• 3:02
  Speaker 1: inside of this book. It is the title of my
• 3:08
  Speaker 1: lesson for today is let me pull it up. Oh
• 3:17
  Speaker 1: I got it this right here. I just had to
• 3:18
  Speaker 1: pull it up. It's called overflowing Hearts, The transforming power
• 3:24
  Speaker 1: of cheerful generosity. Our focused scripture for today is each
• 3:34
  Speaker 1: one must give as he decided in his heart, not
• 3:39
  Speaker 1: reluctantly or under compulsion. For God loves a cheer forgiver.
• 3:45
  Speaker 1: You got to be a cheer forgiver. Give because you
• 3:48
  Speaker 1: want to give. Give from your heart, and not let
• 3:51
  Speaker 1: it be a routine or just because someone instructed you too.
• 4:01
  Speaker 1: Imagine standing at the edge of a lush garden. Every plant,
• 4:05
  Speaker 1: from the smallest herb to the tallest tree, lives to give,
• 4:09
  Speaker 1: offering fruit, offering shade, fragrance, and beauty. The garden flourishes
• 4:14
  Speaker 1: because each part shares what it has. What if our
• 4:19
  Speaker 1: lives mirror that garden. What if instead of holding tight
• 4:23
  Speaker 1: to our resources, we release them, believing that the act
• 4:27
  Speaker 1: of giving creates a cycle where blessings grow and overflow
• 4:32
  Speaker 1: for us and others. We got to be givers, air
• 4:35
  Speaker 1: and receivers that that we give God will bless us.
• 4:39
  Speaker 1: I'm often reminded by something that my apostles says. She says,
• 4:42
  Speaker 1: give that that you are trusting and believe in God,
• 4:44
  Speaker 1: for so give it on today. A little bit of
• 4:47
  Speaker 1: the backstory for the scripture is to truly grasp this verse.
• 4:52
  Speaker 1: Let's travel back to the uncient charistis a bustling city
• 4:57
  Speaker 1: known for a commerce and and culture. Paul, writing the
• 5:02
  Speaker 1: Church of Corinth, is urging early believers to give it
• 5:07
  Speaker 1: to see given not as a reluctant duty, but as
• 5:11
  Speaker 1: a heartful decision. Address. He addresses people who are learning
• 5:16
  Speaker 1: to live differently, countering to a culture obsessed with accumulation
• 5:21
  Speaker 1: and status. Paul uses simple power for imagery farmers who
• 5:27
  Speaker 1: so sparently only reap a small harvest, but those who
• 5:30
  Speaker 1: so generously reap abundantly. Just as the hesitant farmer never
• 5:35
  Speaker 1: sees a great harvest, a reluctant giver misses out on
• 5:39
  Speaker 1: seeing God's abundance return. Paul's message was given is not
• 5:45
  Speaker 1: an obligation, but it's our opportunity to invite. It's our
• 5:51
  Speaker 1: opportunity and an imitation to reflect God's generosity in us.
• 5:59
  Speaker 1: Generosity blesseds both the giver and the receiver. When you
• 6:04
  Speaker 1: give for over, when you give of your time, your resources,
• 6:10
  Speaker 1: your encouragement, and your talent, we become mirrors of God's
• 6:14
  Speaker 1: own boundless generosity. Every act plans in love creates a ripple,
• 6:23
  Speaker 1: transforming both our lives and the lives of those around us.
• 6:31
  Speaker 1: I want you, hory to remember these three things. These
• 6:35
  Speaker 1: are three things that you can take away from this lesson.
• 6:37
  Speaker 1: So I want you to remember these three things because
• 6:39
  Speaker 1: even later on you may be able to apply. I
• 6:42
  Speaker 1: want you to remember that generosity multiplies lessons. I'm gonna
• 6:46
  Speaker 1: say that again, generosity multiplies lessons. For that person that
• 6:50
  Speaker 1: didn't hear me over the bridge, whoever so sparently will
• 6:55
  Speaker 1: also reap sparently. So if you so grudgingly, you're gonna
• 7:00
  Speaker 1: reap grudually. If you soul with a prier heart and
• 7:04
  Speaker 1: honestly sowing all that you can, you're gonna reap what
• 7:07
  Speaker 1: you sow. It's a commandment. It is not it is
• 7:13
  Speaker 1: not something that we can have an option. It is
• 7:17
  Speaker 1: a commandment. He say, whoever so sparently will also read sparently,
• 7:23
  Speaker 1: and whosoever so generously will also reap generously. That's the
• 7:28
  Speaker 1: second Coristhians nine and six. Just as one seed can
• 7:32
  Speaker 1: give an entire feel, even a small act of generosity
• 7:37
  Speaker 1: can multiply blessings over others and eventually return to us
• 7:43
  Speaker 1: in unexpected ways. That God has commanded and design y'all
• 7:48
  Speaker 1: given changes your heart. Each of you should give what
• 7:52
  Speaker 1: have you have decided in your heart to give, not
• 7:55
  Speaker 1: reluctantly or under any compulsion, for God loves your forgivegiver.
• 8:01
  Speaker 1: First Corinthians, excuse me, y'all, nine and seven. When we
• 8:10
  Speaker 1: give cheerfully, we break the grip of selfishness, the zerosity
• 8:20
  Speaker 1: in our lives. Our heart grows more compassionate, more open,
• 8:26
  Speaker 1: and more like Christ, a truth blessing for us, A
• 8:33
  Speaker 1: true blessing for us. Generosity inspires others. In everything I do,
• 8:39
  Speaker 1: I show that by this kind of hard work we
• 8:45
  Speaker 1: must help the weak. And everything I do, I showed
• 8:50
  Speaker 1: you that this kind of hard work was necessary, remembering
• 8:55
  Speaker 1: the words that Lord, our Lord Jesus himself said, it
• 9:00
  Speaker 1: is more blessed to give than to receive. And everything
• 9:18
  Speaker 1: I do, I'll show you that by the kind of
• 9:21
  Speaker 1: hard work we must help the week, remembering that the
• 9:25
  Speaker 1: words of the Lord Jesus himself said, it is more
• 9:29
  Speaker 1: blessed to give than to receive. Acts twenty and thirty five.
• 9:35
  Speaker 1: Our giving often becomes the catalys of others to give.
• 9:41
  Speaker 1: A single act of kindness can inspire a chain reaction,
• 9:46
  Speaker 1: empowering the entire community to live more abundantly. Lead by example,
• 9:56
  Speaker 1: Start small and be consistent for a daily opportunity a smile,
• 10:03
  Speaker 1: a kind word, helping a neighbor, or behind someone a coffee,
• 10:08
  Speaker 1: small seeds planet often bear great fruits. Being intentional with resources,
• 10:15
  Speaker 1: budget your time, your money intentionally for acts of generosity
• 10:19
  Speaker 1: when whether it's tithing, volunteering, or supporting a cause, plan
• 10:25
  Speaker 1: your given just like you plan your necessities. You got
• 10:29
  Speaker 1: a plan. Give from the heart, no obligations. Each day
• 10:35
  Speaker 1: before giving, pause, reflect, am I giving out of love,
• 10:39
  Speaker 1: gratitude or guilt? Choose to be a cheerfu giver, and
• 10:46
  Speaker 1: trump that whatever you're offered, no matter how big or small,
• 10:51
  Speaker 1: it brings joy to God. Our word of today is abundance.
• 11:00
  Speaker 1: Abundance Today remember that God is a God of abundance,
• 11:07
  Speaker 1: no sorocety. When you give, you step into a flow
• 11:13
  Speaker 1: of God's blessing, both receiving and becoming a channel of
• 11:18
  Speaker 1: his goodness. Never underestimate the impact of a generous heart.
• 11:24
  Speaker 1: The more you give, the more you make room for
• 11:27
  Speaker 1: God abundance in your life. As we reflect on today's lesson,
• 11:33
  Speaker 1: consider this. Your generosity is not just a gift to others.
• 11:38
  Speaker 1: It is key to unlock more joy, more love, more abundance.
• 11:43
  Speaker 1: In your own personal journey. Stand in the middle of
• 11:46
  Speaker 1: a garden, stand in the middle of the garden of
• 11:50
  Speaker 1: life and think what seed is generosity? And what seed
• 11:57
  Speaker 1: of generosity can you plan today? How can you be
• 12:03
  Speaker 1: gentleous today? Again, I want to thank you guys for
