According to 1 Corinthians 13:3, giving, just by itself, if it is not motivated by love and accompanied by a love-walk, will not benefit the giver. The profound relationship between profiting (materially) from our giving and love was first brought to my understanding in a dream in 2006, in which I was told never to separate love and prosperity. I narrated that dream in detail last week.
Last week we said, according to the Bible, that giving by itself, if it is not motivated by love and accompanied by a love-walk, will not benefit the giver. As it is written, “And though I bestow all my goods to feed the poor, and though I give my body to be burned, but have not love, it profits me nothing” (1 Corinthians 13:3). More so, God hates that kind of giving that is devoid of love. As it is written elsewhere, “The sacrifice of the wicked is an abomination to the Lord” (Proverbs 15:8).
