Proverbs 11: 25
The liberal soul shall be made fat, and he that watereth shall be watered himself. (KJV)
Proverbs 11: 24, 25
One man gives freely, yet gains even more; another withholds unduly, but comes to poverty. A generous man will prosper; he who refreshes others will himself be refreshed ( NIV)
The two translations give a clear picture about alms giving. When you give, it will prosper the giver and the receiver. There is much more in the way of blessings for those who give generously:
1. God is blessed. He is very well pleased when we give to aid another.
2. The recipient is blessed. Their needs are met by GOD working through the gift, to prosper those who are in need.
3. It stirs up faith in GOD and wins souls to Christ. Those who are believers are strengthened in their faith; those who are not believers in JESUS will be brought to Him through kindness.
4. The alms giver is blessed. As the 25th verse says: "He who refreshes other will himself be refreshed."
TO GOD BE THE GLORY, GREAT THINGS HE HATH DONE
