The Kingdom Paradigm of Giving, Part Seven

At this point in our series, we must recognize a majorly important dynamic reality – if it is not about eternity, it is not about His kingdom, nor His way of doing and being right (the Kingdom Paradigm).

Jesus said the kingdom/eternity is to be our priority and our first consideration in everything. The living Word repeatedly states that eternity and His kingdom are His priority and provide for us His directions for life during our time journey on this planet and forever. Our actions and our desires are to be founded and established in eternity. Giving is no exception.

Giving goes before receiving in the kingdom. We are told that our receiving is described as good measure (that means a lot), pressed down (compacted tightly) until it overflows, and our receiving is channeled through humanity/man. We are told that our receiving is directly proportional to our giving, we receive as we give. Giving is not to be an afterthought or an emotional in-the-moment-response, but as with everything in our lives, we are to have a plan.
