Introduction:  Jesus while on earth as a man did operate in supernatural wisdom. This was the very reason why he was so hated and finally killed. Divine wisdom is share foolishness before natural wisdom and all other kinds of wisdom that are in existence. Whoever follows Jesus is assured of life in eternity and life to the fullest before eternity. This simply means that there is the person of Jesus and the principles of Jesus. In his sermon on the mount, Jesus taught so many principles that if followed will assuredly lead to fulfillment of purpose and achievement of eternal goal.

In this sermon series we shall look into all of the principles of Jesus and the aim is to teach the ways of kingdom prosperity and liberating brethren from the pangs of poverty. In this sermon we shall care examine the principle of giving in Luke 6:38: what to give, when to give and who to give as well as what will be given in return, when it will be given and who will give them
