 (I have said repeatedly that giving is a key to the realm of God's economy.  There is a right way and a wrong way to give. In our text Paul makes a simple declaration, "God loveth a cheerful giver!" My first response is, "Doesn's God love everybody?" As a matter of fact, he dose. Then why would Paul say that? I know of only one solid, unimpeachable reason-he was inspired of God to say it! There might be other opinions, but I feel satisfyingly safe in this one! If God inspired him to say it, there was only one reason why he inspired him to say it-because it is true! While God loves everybody, it is safe to assume that God has a special love for a giver who is cheerful in the doing of it.)

 [The word in the Greek is hilaros which sounds almost like its English counterpart hilarious. We will refer to the cheerful giver from henceforth as a hilarious giver, one beside himself with glee. I don't think it would be possible for me to put down in words just what I think a hilarious giver really is. I wish I could draw you a picture. If I could, I would capture the look of uncontained delirium, electrifying enthusiasm, ecstatic expectation. I would picture a face on the edge of rapture, a countenance exploding with delight, and could sound be added, a voice cracking with inner triumph. The hilarious giver is one who is carried out of this world by the privilege of giving! Almost giddy, always gleesome, he has discovered that it really "is more blessed to give than to receive"(Acts.20:35)]

 (But alas, where are the herds of hilarious givers? I think that the species has all but disappeared if there were ever a great crowd of them. If giving is a God-given privilege and is the means of getting into God's providential pattern, them we should be-happy about it. I keep looking for a church somewhere that takes the offering with exciting expectation during that period which tends to be a dead period filled in by enough music to keep us from sensing the deadness of it. If ever there should be a spontaneous season of praise, it should be during the offering. David used this time to bless the Lord in the midst of the congregation. That was right after the people rejoiced. and David the king rejoiced with great joy.(The reason for their joy is obvious; we will discuss it later.) I wonder what spiritual forces are waiting to be released when we can stand before God as hilarious givers. I cannot help but feel that there is a pent-up river of blessed spiritual reality waiting to come rushing upon us as we enter joyfully into the glory of godly giving.)

 (Let's talk first about some problems which prevent hilarious giving. Two problems are mentioned in our text. The words used are "grudgingly" and "of necessity." In the former, one gives, but not willingly. In the latter, one gives, but because he has to. No one who gives unwillingly can be a happy giver. Nor can anyone be cheerful who gives because he is pressed to.

 Giving as one can afford it is a problem which prevents hilarious giving. This is never to be the gauge of Christian giving. This reckons on the horizontal and not the vertical. It is giving that does not make a demand on God's ability and, thus, does not invite God to move into it.

 Another problem in this realm is that of giving until it hurts. Folks who have given until it hurts just continue to hurt. That hurt is just a fraction from resentment. Hilarity isn't apt to break out in such a relationship.)

 (Giving according to need is everything but hilarious. If we are prone to set our giving according to the need there will soon be a time that our resources are exhausted. Need is never the final call to give. It may be what drives us to God to find our direction in giving, but need-oriented giving breeds spiritual pride and crass pity. The apparent need may be what aroused you to the necessity of giving, but don't stop there. When God has gotten your attention, however he first got it, let him set the gauge of your giving.)

 (Giving on an emotional impulse also prevents hilarious giving.  Just as sure as you become involved in a warm and exciting service and the offering is taken by someone who knows how to excite the human heart over giving, you may respond impulsively to a stimulus outside the Lord. Later on you will have a tendency to say, 'What a fool I have been!" Then you will find ways to retreat from your commitment made in such haste.  There is an infinite difference in Spirit-directed giving and impulsive giving. The Holy Spirit never pushes. He always leads.)

 (Let us, next, view some perspectives which promote hilarious giving. Perspective is almost everything when viewing a situation. I will never forget when I began to see how this matter of giving could be hilarious. As I asked the Lord about a specific amount for a major gift to our church, I was so busy talking that God could not impress me with a figure. When I was quiet for long enough he did give me a figure. It was so big that I was almost sorry that I had been quiet! The more I thought about it, the more distressed I got. Then, finally I realized that the amount that the Lord had impressed me with was so large that it was impossible. If it were impossible, it was absurd for me to expect that I could do it. I began to chuckle about the absurdity of the whole affair. I think I got a glimpse of what it might mean to be a hilarious giver. My family and I made our commitment, knowing that it was impossible, but having a word from him to go on. What was impossible and absurd now became hilarious!)

 [Here are some powerful perspectives!

  God has a sufficiency of everything and is doing everything he can to get his sufficiency into our circumstances.

 All God's sufficiency belongs to us for the benefit of spreading his word.

 God will give us anything that we will use to glorify him. He knows that our needs must be met and so he ministers bread for our food(2Cor. 9:10)

 The more we give, the more there will be to give. This is the way God's system works. What he expects, he enables. The Amplified Bible translates 2 corinthians 9:8 like this: "And God is able to make all grace(every favor and earthly blessing) come to you in abundance, so that you may always and under all circumstances and whatever the need be self-sufficient . . . possessing enough to require no aid or support and furnished in abundance for every good and charitable donation."

 We cannot ever outgive God, but it sure is fun to attempt it!  God doesn't want us to give because he is broke. He wants us to give because we are!

 So let's take our stand right here this side of God's unlimited resources and view the needs of this wide world with the knowledge that we can be the means, the channels of getting his supply to the suffering masses. He becomes the source, and we become the channels! That could become hilarious!]

 [Next, let us investigate some practices which perfect hilarious giving. The old adage "practice makes perfect is appropriate in giving as well. One of the most often-heard and least-heeded commands of the Scriptures is the command to rejoice. There is a little secret here that will be of help to you. Rejoicing is not an emotion at first; it is a decision. The emotion of joy is a result of the decision to rejoice. Yes, you can decide to rejoice by faith when there is not one reason  to be seen to rejoice. We have already examined the command of James, "Count it all joy when ye fall into divers temptations"(1:2). Paul said, "Finally, my brethren, rejoice in the Lord" and again, "Rejoice in the Lord alway: and again I say, Rejoice"(Phil. 3:1; 4:4)]

 (Next, may I suggest that you make a daily practice of giving something away which you highly treasure. I have found a principle that operates in the possession of things. When something that I enjoy very much becomes an end in itself and takes my attention from God, it is time to give it away more freely than before. That can apply to time as well as all other of life's commodities.

 Again, when you have an opportunity or a call to give of anything, preface it with a doxology of praise. How praise perfects hilarious giving! Just say, "Lord, it is by your good, great hand that I have the privilege and the power to give after this manner. I praise you for this rich privilege. To be blessed is a blessing, but to be a blessing is a blessing indeed." W. W. How got the idea when he wrote:

  We give thee but Thine own, Whate'er the gift may be;

  All that we have is Thine alone, A trust, O Lord, from Thee.

  May we Thy bounties thus as stewards true receive,

  And gladly, as Thou blessest us, To Thee our first fruits give.

  And we believe Thy word, Though dim our faith may be;

  Whate'er for Thine we do, O Lord, We do it unto Thee."

  When in doubt, give! It is seldom the wrong thing to do; if ever there a chance that you made a mistake in giving too much, God would surely deliver you from serious consequences. How God must delight in sending angels to give escort of protection to hilarious givers. They need protection. They may die of sheer joy!)

 (When self rises against giving, exhort it! Rees Howell, that great intercessor of a recent generation, talked about his first lesson in "princely giving. "He said later: "Since my money now belongs to the New Tenant, the old tenant has to be impartial about the amount he gives. The New Tenant by his nature is more generous than the old one; the latter has lived so long in Egypt and later in the wilderness under the law, that he has only been used at best to giving the tithe; so when the New Tenant wants to give princely gifts, He first tests the reality of surrender; if it is proved genuine, then there will be no future conflicts when large amounts are called for.")

 [Finally, let us peruse some products that prevail in hilarious giving. It will do just to list some products that are on view when giving as giving should be. These are some words that are noted in 2 Corinthians 8 and 9:

  Abundance of joy(2Cor. 8:2).

  Fellowship of ministering(2Cor. 8:4).

  Abounding in faith, knowledge, utterance, diligence, and love(2Cor. 8:7).

  Bountifulness(2Cor. 9:11).

  Thanksgiving unto God(2Cor. 9:12)

  There are three specific products of proper giving visible in these chapters. First, love was exemplified. Second, the people were edified through equality. Third, God was glorified. "They glorify God for your professed subjection unto the gospel of Christ, and for your liberal distribution unto them and unto all men"(2Cor. 9:13)]
