Hebrews 13:16 Do not neglect to do good and to share what you have, for such sacrifices are pleasing to God.

Selfishness is one of the biggest offenses to the will of God.  We live in a culture where the mantra is getting all you can and can all you get. We are not willing to look out for the less fortunate, to share what we have for fear of loss or an inability to maintain a status that is envied by others.

But the same God that gave to you, can and will give you more.  God watches closely how we manage what we are blessed with, he looks at the heart regarding how we deal with overflow. The bible tells us that God loves a cheerful giver.  He loves what is completely the opposite of selfishness.

We get caught up in not giving to man, but the truth is when you give you are giving unto God, for giving exalts the true essence of the Almighty

.God is so serious about us being givers He even offers a challenge to help us overcome the spirit of selfishness in Luke 6:38 as it reads Give, and it will be given to you: good measure, pressed down, shaken together, and running over will be put into your bosom. For with the same measure that you use, it will be measured back to you.”

A selfish spirit minimizing the god that you serve.  We serve a big God of abundance, a giving God.  It is our responsibility and citizens of the King to bring the culture of heaven to earth and there is no room for selfishness in the Kingdom, as true Kingdom servants bask in allowing God to use them to be a blessing.
