Giving to God's work is nice. Sowing seeds, giving tithes and offerings are also good. But why do several Christians do this, yet no tangible improvement or real improvements in their lives? Why Christians remain stagnant after giving seeds, offerings and tithes.
(1) Giving on the wrong altar: If the church you are giving to is using satanic power, you cannot make it.
(2) Giving without Divine direction: Always giving without God's leading may lead to stagnation. You also should give because you are motivated, manipulated or coerced. Give only when God leads... Someone said give by God's leading.
(3) Giving without Praying: When you give rightly to God, spend quality time to pray on the seed, tithe, offering.
(4) Giving money from corruption: When you give money gotten from hookup, yahoo, gambling, contract price inflation, bribery e.t.c, God will not reward it.
(5) Giving with critical spirit: When you give and still assume your church or other good churches are thieves, you may see nothing tangible.
(6) Not giving to the Poor: Giving to the church and ignoring the poor and needy may lead to low impact of your giving.
(7) Giving with ulterior motive: Giving with the intention that when God blesses you, you will show your enemies, neighbours you have arrived, may hinder blessings.
(cool Giving with Pride: Giving to show off may hinder blessings.
8. ) Giving with unforgiveness especially when you are the offender
Matthew 5:23-24 New Century Version (NCV) “So when you offer your gift to God at the altar, and you remember that your brother or sister has something against you, leave your gift there at the altar. Go and make peace with that person, and then come and offer your gift.
(9) Giving with Offense and Sin: If you have not forgiven those who offended you and if you have sin in your life, it can hinder blessings even after giving.
