真正的奉獻—談信心

•真奉獻，就是把上帝放在第一位，並相信他的供應。真奉獻不是增加我們的金錢，而是增加我們對上帝的信心。真奉獻增加我們相信上帝會供應的信心。

•說到真奉獻，你總是能找到一個歷史的記載，一個上帝總是豐富供應的歷史記載

•列王紀上17的故事教導我們認識真奉獻.

1.      恶王亚哈统治时发生的一次旱灾，以利亚顺服上帝，躲藏在旷野里，上帝让乌鸦来供养他

2.      当那条溪水干涸以后，以利亚又顺服上帝“疯狂的指引”：到一个危险的地方找一个贫穷而饥饿的寡妇。

3.      以利亚顺服，不是因为他知道这是怎么一回事，而是因为他有上帝供应他的经历。

Real Giving 

Real giving to God puts God first and trusts him to supply. Real giving develops our trust in God not our money. Real giving develops our trust in the God who supplies.

Elijah obeys. He goes immediately without any question to this wilderness, and he puts himself in a place of depending on God because nobody else is going to provide for him there. God must come through. And God does.

Before real giving happens, God wins our heart. That’s where it starts.
