0:41 Speaker 1: Welcome to Fuel for the Soul with John Gifta.

0:48 Speaker 2: So today I was coming in on the way my mom is texting me and she was like, a real, do you sow into god Kingdom today?

0:59 Speaker 3: Okay?

1:00 Speaker 2: Out of iconic worship we we support few ministries. Okay, there's a home church for iconic worship at at a worship center in Rama, and there are a few other ministries they support.

1:09 Speaker 3: Some moments like it is sold. So yes, Mama, soul.

1:12 Speaker 2: It's just like you know, God is reminding me a preacher once stole Sewing into God's Kingdom is better than investing in the stock market. Wow, okay, and we've experienced that iconic vershion each time we call it guest speaker. We put all the money in the bank them because you know them, you want to sew into them. Within within four five hours we get three times, oh my god, five times and no believe we gave an amount of money to a man of God because he hosted us. Within this before he came out of the house, we got like four.

1:44 Speaker 3: X oh wow.

1:46 Speaker 2: In in in Bangalore, we hosted a very famous Tumbil singer okay, producer and a singer and we have put all the money we had even asked the crowd to so in the ministry. We put all the money in there and within the day ends we have gotten now two point five x wow. You know, so that's true. You know, like you said, some people say, all pray, but you know, if the woman could break their alibis or jar at the feet of Jesus, it is only your wages. She didn't just come and weep. Yeah, she didn't come and weep and Jesus.

2:29 Speaker 2: And ok because worship is sacrifice. Sexuals is costly and you know the entire culture of giving it, even even it is secular people believe in giving, you know, the heart, it's universal law.

2:45 Speaker 3: When you give, it always comes back to you. But obviously not going to.

2:48 Speaker 2: Give with that intention, but we are addicted to given. We always give, We always empty our bank accounts. Wow, if you see it in bank transaction, huge amount of money next day zero huge huge zero, monitor magaon will be like.

3:04 Speaker 3: What was happening? That's so good?

3:08 Speaker 4: I really second that when you talk about giving, right, like, giving has always been my thing as well, like for me not just money. There there was this time where God would just say take up the back in the day, the costliest thing I would ever own would be a watch, like it would be the cost list like based on my own you know, like money right like so, but God would say take up this watch, so it's into this person, and I would just take it and give it. And then I just did this like I think this first time happened.

3:39 Speaker 4: I was in FGAD church and Pastor Sammy was preaching and God is like, this was a costly verses seven thousand back then, it was more than my one month salary that time, and God is like, give it to him, so into him, and I was like, God, it's generally not easy to meet him, so you know, like, if it all I get to meet him, then I'll give it to him. And in the service he uses the word, you know about showing your watch. I was like, oh, shoot, would he do that?

4:09 Speaker 3: Yes?

4:09 Speaker 4: And then that was the day. It was so easy to meet him. And then I took up my watch and I gave it to him. My heart was sinking like there. And then I just walk out of that place and a random person just meets me. The other than watch, the other thing. I love his ring I called the John of the rings, like a lot of the rings.

4:30 Speaker 3: I love rings.

4:31 Speaker 4: So a person just took out a silver ring and said, the Lord told me to give this to you.

4:35 Speaker 3: I was like, okay. Within like a few minutes.

4:38 Speaker 4: Yeah, I just gave to him. And I'm walking out of the room and a person meets me. So then I knew that this was God and I didn't have watch. And two days later I happened to go to somebody's house to pray for them, and that person is like, I don't know why the Lord is leading me to keep a watch to you. I'm sure you'll have watches. I'm like, I just gave away my watch. I didn't have a watch, you know. And then much later it came to a point where I somebody came to minister in my ministry's service and the Lord was like, give this watch also to him, and I was like, God, I don't have a watch.

5:12 Speaker 4: And then I just took that watch and I gave it to him. He started crying because that was his dream watch. And I was like, okay, and so I've seen that, you know, like when you saw when you have that heart to bless other people, God is going to take care of us. That's the assurance after like, you know, no matter what, So it's you're not I love how passa Joel always says. He says, when you lend, you're not lending to people, You're lending unto the Lord. So there's always that difference. God will never be like, you know what, I'm not going to give back, like I mean, don't give it an intention of getting back.

5:47 Speaker 4: That's when people make the mistake like, oh God, I know I saw this, give me you know, one hundred times next day or something, but don't do it.

5:54 Speaker 3: With that intention. The heart has to be.

5:56 Speaker 4: Yes, the heart has to be in the right place. And then God will definitely show up and show out. So I just pray guys that you will be God will speak to you to so into his ministry as well as my ministry. I hardly I think it's the first time I'm talking with money in any of my podcast or sermon.

6:16 Speaker 3: Yes, I know, this is the first time a moment of my text like that.

6:19 Speaker 2: Oh yeah, I was on the way here and texting about sewing and giving and she's taking if I sold and give gave? Wow, Okay, she spoke about nears and Sofira hmm about how they lied about selling a piece of land and yes, m to God's kingdom they lied about okay, I sold my land where they kept some to themselves, then the entire piece of the money to the ministry.

6:45 Speaker 3: How they both dropped and dead. It's very cool. I mean, it's one of the most mafia scenes. In the.

6:53 Speaker 2: First lies and drops dead. Sofira comes not aware that her husband is dead.

6:57 Speaker 3: M m.

6:58 Speaker 2: When Peter asked the question, Safira looks into Sofia and say, it's the same people who buried your husband are ready to are racing at the door and they'll bury you to like yeah, amount of tension in that place.

7:13 Speaker 4: Yeah, So don't give out of fear, guys.

7:18 Speaker 3: Yeah.

7:20 Speaker 4: But then, like you said, there is a very serious element to giving. And I think the reason I refrain from talking about is because people have this perception outside like oh, these preachers are after money, you know, like there's this always this underlining perception, and I just my perspective has always been like God will provide when I need it, So I just hast a lot and then I just pour it out, so no matter what.

7:46 Speaker 3: So let's see.

7:47 Speaker 2: Figure for example, you know, we send the QR cod and what's up communities and stuff like that. And recently I'd heard that somebody was making a common that traveling only in flight, why they're doing this? Why are they're doing that? You know, they can travel and pray and they can do they can do that. First of all, you know, we don't want to expression. Second of all, they're the people who don't give. Yeah, true, units people who give count have the best part of the people who give don't the mindset, don't.

8:20 Speaker 3: Really question anything.

8:22 Speaker 4: Yeah.

8:23 Speaker 2: But the people who don't give are the ones or they don't really have money, they don't have this, they don't have that, and blah blah blah and yeah.

8:30 Speaker 3: Yes, so you know, one part is just let it be.

8:34 Speaker 2: Because even the people who are earning money in what do you say from the what it's a secular world in terms of likes of Amazon, Jeff Bezos, yours, they're all criticized to yes, so basically even through ministry they're saying, oh, no, if you earn the money, we're happy that case. Jeff Bezos earned the money, but still people are after him for having all the money in the world. Yeah, the bottom liners people are going to criticize, you know, metal and people are envos angeles of you.

9:05 Speaker 3: So just let it be. That's all.
