I’m Generous

Stay Positive #3 “I’m Generous”

One Thing we can all agree on in our lives is that we are all Greedy in at least one area of our lives…money, food, cars, clothes, forgiveness, sin! All of us struggle to break free from greed in our lives…yet when we see that greed is what kills what God wants to do in & through us then it’s so much easier to be generous! Yet, we often keep walking in the Cul-De-Sac of Generosity getting no where because we can’t see the greed we are blinded by!

3 Ways to Break Greed In Our Lives
John 6:1-14

  1. LOOK AT Jesus! (Look Up Like Jesus Did)
    • No matter what our Circumstance it all starts with Jesus being at the Center. When we look to Jesus the things, and trials, of this world seem small!
    • Generosity isn’t about bringing to Tithe to Jesus…that is His already…it’s about giving above what is already His. It’s helping a stranger in need, it’s forgiving that person though they haven’t asked for it.
  2. UNDERSTAND what Jesus WANTS! (Jesus Asks to Sit At His Feet and He Will Provide)
    • So Often we get caught saying it’s easy for them to give because they have all they need provided for…and isn’t that what our Father in Heaven does for us?
    • Jesus wants us to live a life that is fulfilled beyond measure, not so that we can get a bunch of stuff…but so that we can experience a heart full blessing, anticipation and life change.
  3. SURRENDER! (Just give what you have to Jesus)
    • When we surrender all that we have to Jesus it goes further than us, blesses more than we ever could and comes back to us abundantly more than we could ask or imagine
    • When we surrender control to Jesus…funny thing is we aren’t worried about results! The peace that comes from that far outweighs the stress of trying to do it all on our own.

Founder and Lead Pastor of thevine.tv Realtor® with The Ott Group at Ponce Realty Group LLC (www.theponcerealtygroup.com) Theodore Roosevelt describes in “The Arena” a man who boldly stepped out of the seats & into the Arena! The Arena I get to fight in is to help others live an abundant life by finding the gifts that God has given them and helping them take their next step by fulfilling the calling God has on their lives! Growing up in a widowed home from the age of 2, I experienced the dependence of faith, the importance of family, the foundation of integrity, the value of loyalty and the success that can be achieved through hard work. Whether expanding Walgreens from 4000 to 8000 healthcare stores, or stepping out in faith to be a part of launching a NewSpring Church Campus--faith, family, integrity, loyalty and hard work are fingerprints of me being involved! Each experience I have stepped into has allowed me to develop invaluable relationships that have not only achieved remarkable results, but more importantly made an impact on the lives of others that will last beyond this lifetime...a cause worthy to fight for! Can't wait to see how Jesus continues to #JoinSpartanburg at #thevinetv and the Local Church Around the World!
