The Power of Purposeful Giving by Rev. Dr. Ernest Odogba
Never assume that someone who has been a blessing in your life—whether your father, guardian, or pastor—is so wealthy that they do not need your financial gifts. Your giving is not about their need but about your benefit. When you give to them, their grace and anointing can flow into your life, leading to your upliftment.
Giving to the poor, widows, or orphans is an act of benevolence and kindness that attracts God’s mercy because you have shown mercy. However, giving to those in higher positions—such as spiritual leaders or mentors—brings prosperity, open doors, and success into your life.
The principle works both ways: the poor should give to the rich to rise higher, while the rich should give to the poor, widows, orphans, and disadvantaged individuals to attract God’s mercy. Many of these individuals may not be living righteously or have the time to pray, but your generosity can open the door for divine intervention in their lives and yours.
