The Power of Giving and Its Eternal Rewards
by Chris N. Braza
Ang Kapangyarihan ng Pagbibigay at ang Walang Hanggang Gantimpala Nito
The Heart of Giving (Ang Puso ng Pagbibigay)
Giving is more than an action—it is a reflection of our hearts. When we give, we mirror God’s own nature, for He first gave to us. "For God so loved the world that He gave His only Son" (John 3:16). If God, in His infinite love, gave His most precious gift, how much more should we, His children, give to bless others?
"Ang pagbibigay ay hindi lamang pagkilos—ito ay salamin ng ating puso. Kapag tayo ay nagbibigay, ipinapakita natin ang likas ng Diyos, sapagkat Siya ang unang nagbigay sa atin."
Giving Unlocks God’s Blessings (Ang Pagbibigay ay Nagbubukas ng mga Pagpapala ng Diyos)
Many desire blessings, but few realize that giving unlocks them. The Bible assures us that when we give, blessings return to us—pressed down, shaken together, and running over. Giving is an act of faith, trusting that God will replenish and multiply what we sow.
"Marami ang nagnanais ng pagpapala, ngunit kakaunti ang nakakaalam na ang pagbibigay ang susi rito. Kapag tayo ay nagbibigay, ibinabalik ng Diyos ito sa atin nang higit pa sa ating inaasahan."
The Eternal Reward (Ang Walang Hanggang Gantimpala)
Earthly rewards fade, but the rewards of generous giving last forever. In Matthew 6:19-21, Jesus teaches us to store treasures in heaven, where moth and rust cannot destroy. Every act of generosity echoes in eternity.
"Ang gantimpala sa lupa ay kumukupas, ngunit ang gantimpala ng mapagbigay na puso ay mananatili magpakailanman. Bawat kilos ng kabutihang loob ay may tugon sa kawalang-hanggan."
Give Sacrificially, Receive Abundantly (Magbigay Nang May Sakripisyo, Tumanggap Nang Masagana)
True giving sometimes hurts. The widow in Mark 12:41-44 gave all she had—two small coins—but Jesus honored her above all. Why? Because giving that costs us something is precious in God’s sight. God rewards sacrificial giving with abundant, overflowing blessings.
"Ang tunay na pagbibigay ay minsan may kasamang sakripisyo. Ngunit sa paningin ng Diyos, ang pagbibigay na may halaga at hirap ay napakahalaga."
Challenge to Action (Hamong Kumilos)
Today, God invites you to experience the power of giving. Don’t wait for abundance before you give; give from what you have now, and watch how God multiplies it. Let your giving be cheerful, intentional, and faith-filled.
"Ngayon, iniimbitahan ka ng Diyos na maranasan ang kapangyarihan ng pagbibigay. Huwag hintayin ang kasaganaan bago magbigay; ibigay ang nasa iyo ngayon at masdan kung paano ito pararamihin ng Diyos."
Conclusion (Konklusyon)
Giving is not losing; it’s sowing. Every seed planted in faith yields a harvest—both in this life and the life to come. So, give. Give generously. Give cheerfully. And witness how God’s promises unfold in your life.
"Ang pagbibigay ay hindi pagkalugi; ito ay pagtatanim. Bawat binhing itinanim sa pananampalataya ay aanihin—dito sa lupa at sa darating na buhay. Kaya magbigay. Magbigay nang bukas-palad at may kagalakan. At masdan kung paano matutupad ang mga pangako ng Diyos sa iyongbuhay."
Be Blessed Beyond Measure!
Sumaiyo Ang Pagpapalang Higit sa Lahat!
