Obedience to God is a major step to having uncommon reward. Having examined most of the obedient acts that bring uncommon rewards, we want to see how obedience in giving  brings uncommon rewards. Giving is one of the hard truths that many do not want to hear about. They see it as a way of ammasing wealth into the church. But the devil doesnt want people to hear messages going on so that they will not be blessed and flourished as God desires. The scripture says it is even more blessed to give than to recieve -  Acts. 20:25

obedience in giving leads us to  our next level , it leads us to realm of living in abundance, prosperity
