 think it's not a secret to nobody that I come from a big family yes if you if you ask what is big it's I have six brothers and one sister all of us there's like nine of us I think right yeah nine Matt is not my subject people anyways but if you come from big family there's one thing you know you got to do is this thing called sharing everything you do because there's many of you and sometimes there's not enough of supply or whatever you guys have so you got to share especially when where I came I came from Ukraine we were poor my dad was missionary my mom didn't work so we kind of were barely surviving so we shared everything people I'm talking about everything one of the things we would share we would even share gum yeah I'm gonna confess to you y'all those were dark days I'm the second oldest right so my brother Eli the one who led the prayer we would go and return some recycle some metal or glass bottles and get some little cash and go buy a gum and it would start from the top Ilya with you and then he will roll down the hill I would grab it chew it for a couple hours and I'm saying taste goes away you know the Martin comes there so but you know taste is gone so we'll make it would take a jar mix some Kool-Aid throw the poppin throw a gum in there put it in the fridge in a couple hours Martin takes out and pops it like it never happened come on but anyways you share everything one of the other things we shared is clothes there's six dudes all of them pretty much the same size so you buy one thing everybody wears it there's no such thing as getting your shine on whoever buys it wears it first that's the rule though you know and it's I always I never liked the whole thing sharing clothes so at age or like 14 I think I put to rest and just last thing I bought I think was like I went to Walmart and got myself 25 white v-necks I think I wear them still till this day I think I got like five now but anyways I remember one thing that I figured one thing really quick it's easy to give something that you don't know I remember a friend of mine came to me and he really struggled and just came out of prison didn't have a job he's like dude I need clothes like let's go to my house I opened my closet there was a lot of clothes I'm like bro pick out whatever you need he's like wow do you so generous I'm like well there's more where I came from but it was easy because 90% of those clothes were not mine with my brothers and it was easy for me to give those clothes I'm like bro you take it we took the garbage bag and he packed that thing and he's like like Santa out of chimney he went but anyways what I'm trying to say a lot of times we come to church and we clinched those money the poor Benjamin or Washington because we we have some this idea that everything that we have in our life is ours we work hard we wake up we go to school we study everything that we have is ours but I like to ask this evening to think about this idea that everything that we have in our lives money house everything that we own is actually God's that we are actually just people that stored we people we manage I read this scripture if you slow me that you can put the scripture on that really changed the way I look at the money that's in a bottle people let's read this be careful do not say in your heart my power and strong hand have made me rich but remember the Lord your God for it is he who gives you power to become rich wow when I read I was like that's so cool that kind of showed me the perspective that everything I have in my life it's not mine God gives me power God gives me to wake up in the morning go to work God gives me brains to study the book God gives me his ideas and mentions everything I have in my life it's his and I have to be faithful storeship that means if Bible says bring your offerings it ties to house of God that means yeah okay those are not mine those are God's money and what I do I bring the I'm being faithful and when God sees that the you manage his money he gives you more the more you give the more he God gives money don't stick to your hand that means the money can flow to your hand that means you're not like the river or the puddle or just everything stays and becomes stinky but you'd like the river that everything flows the more you give the more God can give so I encourage you today look and be careful how you view your money don't be so stingy clingy holding on to every last penny look at the self as a stewardship like the God bless you and be generous give money help people give to the church amen if you be faithful you know it's nice thing when you don't manage when you manage somebody else stuff that means they will have to take care of you that means God will protect you God will bless you with the jobs God will bless you with promotions if you be faithful and steward in the money and the thing that God give you
