In this inspiring sermon, Pastor Sam Jones continues with the series of generosity. We learn that at times, God wants us to step out in faith with the spirit of generosity.

God will and does love us so much in the moment but He also prepares us for the future. More often than not, we as humans get stuck and caught in the moment and we tend to lose sight of where we are truly meant to be. We forget that we are citizens of heaven not of earth and that's why generosity is important. Generosity is of God.

Generosity is the way in which we can break the moment by inviting in the eternal. It doesn't look at what we don't have but it looks at what we have and is able to break in the moment and invite the eternal. When we are generous we are unlocking the view of our Father in heaven, unlocking His faithfulness and goodness. Generosity forces us to trust God. 

As human beings, our biggest battle with generosity is that we often feel like we don't have enough. We always worry about what we don't have.

In the book of 2 Kings we learn of a story of a woman who persevered in the midst of needing God. We can also find ourselves in the same situation at times. In situations where we need God to move in our situations. Thus it's important to have faith and trust in Him.

The message of the day is: Pour until something happens.

Sometimes we focus on the wrong things or run to the wrong things because we focus on what we don't have. We need to change that, we need to stand on the word of God and focus on Him. Whenever we do that, like the widow in the book of Kings, God will use what we have. Whatever little we have, He can use, but only if we allow Him. 

We should never hoard whatever we have, be it time, resources or even our gifts. We need to pour out whatever we have and in that gap, we are inviting God. Whenever we pour out what we have then we are inviting Him to move and fill that space. As His children, it's very important that we fill our gaps and empty spaces with God.

As people, we tend to be afraid of the gaps in our lives, but these reveal what we have. The devil wants us to focus on the little that we have and hoard it/ become selfish with it. However, that will not fulfill us. As our Father is generous, so should we be. That is why being generous is important. We should not be afraid of emptiness and gaps because those are an opportunity for God to fill us.

As people we are not meant to hoard, but we are meant to pour out our lives. We need to understand that we are meant to continuously pour into others. As we pour out in generosity then our worlds will become larger and larger (Proverbs 11:24).

So no matter what you have, keep pouring out. Don't focus on being full, God will fill you up.
