Take Him Back to $30,000
IllustrationStory★★★★A MAN one day came to the pastor and said, “Pastor, when I
was making $30,000 a year, I’d give generously to the Lord. I’m
making $150,000 and I don’t have anything to give to the Lord.
Would you pray for me?”
The pastor said, “Let’s pray. Lord, would You please take
this brother back to $30,000 a year so he can start giving.”
The point
A man complains he cannot give to God despite earning five times more money, prompting the pastor to pray God would reduce his income so he could resume generous giving.
