It All Belongs to God Anyway

You are not the owner of your money. You are the steward. Everything in your hands was placed there by God, on purpose, and for a purpose.

Generosity begins with understanding. It does not come from guilt or obligation. It comes from revelation. When you know that what you have is not your own, you stop clinging to it. You open your hands and say, “God, use this for what matters.”

In 2 Corinthians 9, Paul describes the kind of giving that reflects the heart of God. It is cheerful, free, and willing. This is the joy of the believer who sees giving as a sacred act. It is not a weight to carry but a privilege to embrace. It is not measured by obligation but marked by participation in the eternal work of God.

The world teaches us to keep, to consume, to accumulate. But Scripture tells a different story. In Haggai 1, God addresses a people who earned much but never felt satisfied. Their money slipped through their hands like water through a broken jar. The reason was clear. They had excluded God from what belonged to Him. When He is not included in your finances, no amount will ever be enough.

Generosity shifts the focus. It is not about what you are losing. It is about what you are building. You are planting into the soil of eternity. You are fuelling the Gospel. You are supporting the one thing Jesus said He would build, His Church.

So what does that mean now? Live generously. Think generously. Give as one who knows who they are...a child of God, a steward of Kingdom purpose, a channel of blessing. When your life echoes the words, “All I have is Yours,” you create space for God to move through you.

Prayer: Jesus, thank You for giving everything for me. I surrender again today. Teach me to live open-handed and full of faith. Make me a cheerful giver. Let every part of my life reflect Your heart—because I know I was not made to hold tightly, but to sow freely.

Thank you for going on this journey!
You have invited God to speak into one of the most personal, powerful, and formative areas of your life: your finances.

Let these truths remain anchored in your spirit:

• You do not serve money. You serve God, and money serves you.
• Stewardship is how you move from surviving to thriving.
• Tithing reveals who truly rules your heart.
• Generosity is not something you feel. It is who you are.

Now live it. Build the Church. Walk in freedom. Become the kind of person whose life makes the world stop and ask, “How do they live like that?”
