Don't stop giving
Genesis 8:22 While the earth remaineth, seedtime and harvest, and cold and heat, and summer and winter, and day and night shall not cease.
After how long should one stop giving? Not at any point. We only redirect our giving as the Lord instructs us but we cannot afford to stop giving.
We have seen many start on the journey of giving for the wrong reasons and stop along the way when they don't get what they expected. It's true God rewards givers but the attitude with which we give deters us from experiencing God kind of results.
You should persist in your giving if you want to keep reaping. In life there's no shortcut to success. Successful ventures take time to be developed and matured. And so is sowing. Many men of God testify that the seeds they sowed consistently over a long period of time don't get results immediately. Some do but others take a while. The things of God take time to mature. So you should be a patient sower. Patience is faith exercised over a long period of time. The harvest is unto God. Our part is to do the sowing.
You are not of them that draw back in their sowing. That's not how you so learned from Christ. There are one time big givers and regular givers who although give in small faithful amounts, sustain ministries overtime. The church needs both kinds of givers. I believe God is pleased with disciplined givers who do so do so on a regular and consistent basis overtime and do not give because they have been emotionally hyped to give.
Decide to be a committed giver for the long haul and you will experience blessings continually.
I am a committeed giver in the whole haul
