The Greatest and Largest Givers Are Not Always the Richest People


The greatest and largest givers are not always the richest people.
The size of your gift is determined by the
percentage of what you give from what you have and not by the amount or the cost.
The largest givers in churches are actually the poorest members who continue to give more percentage of what they have than the percentage given by the richest members. But contrary to the teachings of our Messiah, JESUS Christ, the bishops, pastors and other leaders of the churches despise the "Widow's Mite" of the poor and prefer to praise the rich not bothering about the sources of their ill gotten riches, even if their tithes and offerings are blood money . They have forgotten what JESUS said in Mark 12: 38 -44:

38 And He said unto them in His doctrine, Beware of the scribes, which love to go in long clothing, and love salutations in the marketplaces,
39 And the chief seats in the synagogues, and the uppermost rooms at feasts:
40 Which devour widows' houses, and for a pretence make long prayers: these shall receive greater damnation.
41 And Jesus sat over against the treasury, and beheld how the people cast money into the treasury: and many that were rich cast in much.
42 And there came a certain poor widow, and she threw in two mites, which make a farthing.
43 And He called unto him his disciples, and saith unto them, Verily I say unto you, That this poor widow hath cast more in, than all they which have cast into the treasury:
44 For all they did cast in of their abundance; but she of her want did cast in in all that she had, even all her living.

PS:
The most generous people in #Nollywood don't display them on #Instagram , #Facebook and other publicity stunts online and offline.
The celebrities who display their generosities on social media networks are actually displaying their insecurities.
