First, they didn’t understand that you was the one who bought the M and M’s. Secondly, they didn’t understand your strength. You could have ripped them away from them and eaten every one. Third, they didn’t understand how many you could give them.

M&M stands for money and material. Stewardship is all about what you really believe about money and material things. Principle: God gives blessings so we can become a blessing!
4
Treat your M&M’s as a Gift from God. – You start by changing your attitude about the M&M’s. You learn to treat money and material as a gift from God. – Genesis 1:28- “And God blessed them and said unto them, “Be fruitful and multiply; replenish the earth and subdue it; have dominion over the fish of the sea, over the fowl of the air, and over every living thing that moveth on the earth.”

People are into ownING, buyING, earnING, clothING, spendING, Bling-Bling, and KachING. You will never be able to put God ahead of money until you see your money as His Money.

Tithe your M&M’s as a gift to God. – God has always reserved a portion of our M&M’s for Himself. In the garden God said, “ I’m giving you 7 days, but one of them is reserved for me.” In the garden God said, “All the trees are yours, but there is one for me, don’t eat from it. When the children of Israel went into the Promised Land, there were 10 cities. God said, “the first one is Jericho, don’t keep anything from that city. It’s to be given back to me.”

Exodus 13:2- “Sanctify unto me all the firstborn, whatsoever openeth the womb among the children of Israel, both of man and beast: it is mine.” Exodus 23:19- “The first of the firstfruits of thy land thou shalt bring into the house of the Lord thy God. Thou shalt not seeth a kid in his mother’s milk.” Proverbs 3:9,10- “Honor the Lord with thy substance, and with the firstfuits of all thine increase: So shall thy barns be filled with plenty, and thy presses shall burst out with new wine.”

If we are the owners, we would get it. But we’re not the owners; we’re the managers. That’s why we bring it instead of merely give it. Genesis 4:3-5, “And in process of time it came to pass, that Cain brought of the fruit of the ground an offering unto the L ORD. And Abel, he also brought of the firstlings of his flock and of the fat thereof. And the L ORD had respect unto Abel and to his offering: But unto Cain and to his offering he had not respect. And Cain was very wroth, and his countenance fell.”
9
Trust your M&M’s as a gift with God. – Tithing is not God’s way of raising money; tithing is God’s way of raising faith. – Tithing is not God’s way of getting something from you; it’s Gods way of getting something to you.

God has too much to offer not to trust Him. God is too loving to keep anything from you. God is too honest to make you a promise He can’t keep.
