2. The
Generous
eye

3. He who has a generous eye will be
blessed; for he shares his food with the
poor.
Proverbs 22:9 (WEB)

4. The Eye

5. Eye Conditions

6. Myopia (Near-Sighted)
Myopia is the term used to define short sightedness.
Light from a distant object forms an image before it
reaches the retina. This could be because the eye is
too long, or the cornea or crystalline lens is too
strong.
A myopic person has clear vision when looking
at objects close to them, but distant objects will
appear blurred.

7. Hyperopia (Far-Sighted)
Hypermetropia means long sight and is where the
image of a nearby object is formed behind the retina.
This could be because the eye is too short, or the
cornea or crystalline lens does not refract the light
enough.
A hypermetropic person may have blurred vision
when looking at objects close to them, and
clearer vision when looking at objects in the
distance.

8. 22 “Your eye is like a lamp that provides light
for your body. When your eye is healthy,
your whole body is filled with light. 23 But
when your eye is unhealthy, your whole
body is filled with darkness. And if the light
you think you have is actually darkness, how
deep that darkness is!
Matthew 6:22-23

9. WHAT KIND OF
EYES DO YOU
HAVE?

10. DO YOU HAVE A
GENEROUS EYE?

11. 38 “Give, and it will be given to you: good
measure, pressed down, shaken together,
and running over, will be given to you. For
with the same measure you measure it will
be measured back to you.”
Luke 6:38

18. If you help the poor, you are lending to the
LORD--and he will repay you!
Proverbs 19:17 (NLT)

19. REQUISITES OF A
GOOD BORROWER

20. 1. CHARACTER

21. God is not human, that he should lie, not a
human being, that he should change his
mind. Does he speak and then not act?
Does he promise and not fulfill?

it. The world and all its people belong to
him.

RESPONSES TO

gotten riches, and have need of nothing;’
and don’t know that you are the wretched
one, miserable, poor, blind, and naked;
Revelation 3:17

30. Remember the LORD your God. He is the
one who gives you power to be
successful, in order to fulfill the covenant he
confirmed to your ancestors with an oath.
Deuteronomy 8:18 (NLT)

31. GOD WANTS YOU TO
REMEMBER THAT IT IS HE
WHO BLESSED YOU AND THAT
HE HAS A PURPOSE WHY HE
BLESSED YOU.

32. 2. SHAME

33. You did not choose me, but I chose you and
appointed you so that you might go and
bear fruit--fruit that will last--and so that
whatever you ask in my name the Father
will give you.
John 15:16

34. REMEMBER WHY
GOD BLESSED YOU

35. EVERY BLESSING
HAS A PURPOSE.
SERVE THAT PURPOSE.

36. 11 You will be enriched in every way so that
you can be generous on every occasion,
and through us your generosity will result in
thanksgiving to God.
2 Corinthians 9:11

37. 5 These people always cause trouble. Their
minds are corrupt, and they have turned
their backs on the truth. To them, a show of
godliness is just a way to become wealthy. 6
Yet true godliness with contentment is
itself great wealth.
1 Timothy 6:5-8

38. 7 After all, we brought nothing with us when
we came into the world, and we can’t take
anything with us when we leave it. 8 So if
we have enough food and clothing, let us
be content.
1 Timothy 6:5-8

39. BECAUSE GOD HAS
BLESSED US WITH MORE,
WE WILL INTENTIONALLY
GIVE MORE.

40. 2 “I will make you into a great nation, and I
will bless you; I will make your name great,
and you will be a blessing. 3 I will bless
those who bless you, and whoever curses
you I will curse; and all peoples on earth will
be blessed through you.”
Genesis 12: 2-3

BE GROWING
GIVERS.

and when he saw the man, he felt
compassion for him. 34 Going over to him,
the Samaritan soothed his wounds with olive
oil and wine and bandaged them. Then he
put the man on his own donkey and took him
to an inn, where he took care of him.
Luke 10:33-35

45. 35 The next day he handed the innkeeper
two silver coins, telling him, ‘Take care of
this man. If his bill runs higher than this,
I’ll pay you the next time I’m here.’

50. 43 Jesus called his disciples to him and said,

part of their surplus, but she, poor as she
is, has given everything she had to live
on.”
Mark 12:41-44
