Building on the concept of stewardship from Session 10, you will now discover that your role is not only to manage what God provides to you, but to actively use it to meet the needs of those around you. Everything you have belongs to God, and He entrusts it to you to flow through your hands for the blessing of others (1 Peter 4:10; Galatians 6:2).
Session 11 reinforces three guiding principles: OPM (Other People’s Money), OPN (Other People’s Needs), and GAP (God Always Provides). These principles remind us that God is the ultimate source, and when you make someone else’s need your own, He is faithful to meet both their needs and yours.
Acting in love, carrying burdens, and providing generously are not optional—they are the practical outworking of the law of Christ (Luke 10:34-35; Matthew 5:40-41). Generosity is not measured simply by amounts, but by the willingness of your heart to serve others with integrity, intention, and faith, trusting that God will provide for everything you need.
This session emphasizes giving above and beyond, proportional to your income, and with thoughtfulness, not reluctance (2 Corinthians 9:6-7, 11). When you give cheerfully and intentionally, whether to family, neighbors, the poor, missionaries, or those in need, your actions become a conduit for God’s blessings.
You are participating in building His Kingdom on Earth, reflecting the heart of Christ in practical, tangible ways. By taking on the burdens of others, you not only fulfill the law of Christ but also align your daily life with eternal impact.
You will also explore the difference between enabling and empowering. Providing for someone’s needs must be guided by discernment and prayer, ensuring that your generosity builds character, faith, and independence rather than enabling harmful behaviors.
Your giving becomes a spiritual seed, advancing God’s Kingdom while demonstrating trust in Him as your ultimate provider. Stories like the Good Samaritan illustrate how taking responsibility for someone else’s need creates a ripple effect of blessing and restoration (Luke 10:34-35).
By the end of this session, you will understand how to live as a fully funded Christian who provides faithfully, loves generously, and trusts God completely. You will see that when you make other people’s needs your own, God meets every need abundantly, allowing you to continue blessing others without fear of lack.
Your actions will leave a lasting impact, demonstrating the power of love, faith, and stewardship in action. You are called to multiply resources, serve others wholeheartedly, and advance God’s Kingdom on Earth, fully equipped to carry burdens, meet needs, and live in divine provision (1 Timothy 5:8; Proverbs 11:25; Luke 6:38).
