Train your children to be
faithful and generous givers.
Read the following verses. Think
and pray about the verse that applies the most to your life.
Proverbs 22:6
Train up a child in the way he should go: and when he is old, he will
not depart from it.
Genesis 18:19
I have chosen him, so that he will direct his children and his household
after him to keep the way of the LORD by doing what is right and just.
Deuteronomy 6:6-7
These commandments that I give you today are to be upon your hearts.
Impress them on your children. Talk about them when you sit at home and
when you walk along the road, when you lie down and when you get up.
Psalm 78:4-7
We will tell the next generation the praiseworthy deeds of the LORD, his
power, and the wonders he has done. He decreed statutes…which he
commanded our forefathers to teach their children, so the next
generation would know them, even the children yet to be born, and they
in turn would tell their children. Then they would put their trust in
God and would not forget his deeds but would keep his commands.
Ephesians 6:4
Bring them (children) up with the loving discipline the Lord himself
approves, with suggestions and godly advice.

John D. Rockefeller said, “I never would
have been able to tithe the first million dollars I ever made if I had
not tithed on my first salary, which was $1.50 a week.”
Giving a child money to put into an
offering plate does not produce a generous adult. If you want to produce
a generous adult, you must train a child to tithe from any money he or
she receives from family, friends or work projects. This child will
grow up to honor God.

Count Your Blessings Every Week
When my
wife and I were first married, we only made $15,000 a year. We were
giving 10% of our income to the LORD’s work, but we had a desire to be
even more generous. Then I came across 1 Corinthians 16:2 that says, “On
the first day of the week, each of us is to give according to how God
has prospered us.” I told Sandi that on Sunday nights I wanted to take
out a pencil and paper and write down all the ways the LORD provided for
us during the week. Each Sunday, we discovered that in addition to our
small income, there would be special financial blessings that happened
nearly every week. So, we'd give 10% of our income to our church and
another 10% of the financial blessings we counted to share with others.
The first year, we gave $4,000 to the LORD’s work on a $15,000 income.
