Giving is the way forward.

We make a living by what we get, and we make a life by what we give. The system of
this world has made man to believe that lasting satisfaction is in what we get, if
we get more money,more respect, more material wealth then we have made it in life. I
will choose to teach my children differently because,I believe love is my religion.
I know the system has intentions of selfish gain to everything that we do, to always
look at making myself better,at times to the cost of one's freedom or happiness. I
bet to differ, giving is the way forward. Why Give? 1. Your giving will always make
a difference,2. Giving often brings satisfaction 3.Giving is a way to show your
gratefulness 4.Your giving will create an abundance mentality. Now this is a secret
that most people haven't discovered. Look here, if you have never given a 100 Ghana
cedis for example, that much money becomes too big for you, until you release
it.When you do, you are no longer afraid of thats
amount.Is like you have conquered it, not by earning it, but by giving it. We
should train ourselves from today, to have a giving spirit.Don't wait until you
start making a lot more money, or until you have 3 suits or 2 shoes before you
start to give.If you want to become a dangerous giver; Do not give out of
convenience or comfort zone.Do not check who else is giving [a contributing
spirit], just give.Learn to give bountifully.Never boast about your giving for
people to recognize you.Do not give in purpose of having a favor in return.Always
aim outdo your previous giving. Set goals to increase your giving.Fill in for the
lack of others.A dangerous giver must understand that his giving represents
him.Always consider how others can be impacted with what you have,whether it be
wisdom,encouragement, money, clothes,expertise. etc. Start today. your giving
will make a difference, there is so much power in giving. Why are we encouraged to
give money? Because it's liquid, it can take the shape of any container. As much as
you might think your church or mosque needs to get air conditioners, there might be
a more pressing need than that, so your giving can be easily programmed to be used
for the mosque light bills or church rents, At times the pastors or Imams will
direct what exactly the mosque or church needs. You can give material things, money,
wisdom, expertise etc. you can start by giving a word of encouragement to someone
today. Giving is not just to our children,church or mosque it is a life we should
embrace now, it ought to be part of our nature,God, our father, is a dangerous
giver, it is believe in Christianity that God gave HIS son. I believe that is
enough. Always remember,THE GOSPEL TO GIVE TO OTHERS. Start today. ALL THE BEST TO
YOU ALL DANGEROUS GIVERS.
