What is Sharing: Have a portion of (something) with another or others or use, occupy, or enjoy (something) jointly with another or others. (via google definitions)
To sum up sharing in my personal view, is to give and take as needed and to do it selflessly. If we take unnecessarily or give unwillingly then we have missed the mark and it won’t be counted towards us as good deeds. Being forced to do well or taking anything without a cause demonstrates to others that we have no morals or values. We are supposed to teach and treat others how we want to be taught and treated. In my opinion it doesn’t make sense to take thing we don’t need or to give to someone what you still want for yourself. There are many Biblical stories (example: the married couple Ananias and Sapphira) that prove not so good outcomes when our hearts are not in the right place. Frankly we don’t even need religion or other motivations in order to feel good or make others happy because it will just feel like the correct things to do.
Although some of these are taught at very young ages, not everyone has adapted and this will be visible through greed and selfishness which are some narcissistic qualities. For more Biblical examples please read my book “Narcissists in the Bible” on Amazon Kindle. This particular post was motivated by me watching a YouTube video and also witnessing countless actions/activities between my 9 year old and my 5 year old second cousin. I call it the “me, me, me/I, I, I syndrome” it’s very entertaining to say the least. In conclusion, when you give and take please allow your heart to lead because what gave won’t give you pleasure and what you took won’t benefit you. Remember you’re being watched…literally!
WE ARE IN THE LAST DAYS!!! Many have come in the name of The Most High God but are false prophets and hypocrites. Not only that but when your Pastor tells you that you don’t have to keep the law/commandments when God says to keep them forever is a lie. When a “prophet” tells you you’re going to be “blessed” even though you know you’ve been sinning and the Father isn’t giving you anything anytime soon (except grace to keep you alive) is considered to be a FALSE PROPHET! Here are some other examples of true and false prophets/teachers…

2 Corinthians 11:13-15 KJV
13 For such are false apostles, deceitful workers,
transforming themselves into the apostles of Christ.
14 And no marvel; for Satan himself is transformed into an
angel of light.
15 Therefore it is no great thing if his ministers also be
transformed as the ministers of righteousness; whose end shall be according to
their works.
Jeremiah 23:14-32 KJV
14 I have seen also in the prophets of Jerusalem an horrible
thing: they commit adultery, and walk in lies: they strengthen also the hands
of evildoers, that none doth return from his wickedness; they are all of them
unto me as Sodom, and the inhabitants thereof as Gomorrah.
15 Therefore thus saith the Lord of hosts
concerning the prophets; Behold, I will feed them with wormwood, and make them
drink the water of gall: for from the prophets of Jerusalem is profaneness gone
forth into all the land.
16 Thus saith the Lord of hosts, Hearken not unto
the words of the prophets that prophesy unto you: they make you vain: they
speak a vision of their own heart, and not out of the mouth of the Lord.
17 They say still unto them that despise me,
The Lord hath said, Ye shall have peace; and they say unto every one
that walketh after the imagination of his own heart, No evil shall come upon
you.
18 For who hath stood in the counsel of the Lord, and
hath perceived and heard his word? who hath marked his word, and heard it?
19 Behold, a whirlwind of the Lord is gone forth in
fury, even a grievous whirlwind: it shall fall grievously upon the head of the
wicked.
20 The anger of the Lord shall not return, until he
have executed, and till he have performed the thoughts of his heart: in the
latter days ye shall consider it perfectly.
21 I have not sent these prophets, yet they ran: I have not
spoken to them, yet they prophesied.
22 But if they had stood in my counsel, and had caused my
people to hear my words, then they should have turned them from their evil way,
and from the evil of their doings.
23 Am I a God at hand, saith the Lord, and not a God
afar off?
24 Can any hide himself in secret places that I shall not see
him? saith the Lord. Do not I fill heaven and earth? saith the Lord.
25 I have heard what the prophets said, that prophesy lies in
my name, saying, I have dreamed, I have dreamed.
26 How long shall this be in the heart of the prophets that
prophesy lies? yea, they are prophets of the deceit of their own heart;
27 Which think to cause my people to forget my name by their
dreams which they tell every man to his neighbour, as their fathers have
forgotten my name for Baal.
28 The prophet that hath a dream, let him tell a dream; and
he that hath my word, let him speak my word faithfully. What is the chaff to
the wheat? saith the Lord.
29 Is not my word like as a fire? saith the Lord; and
like a hammer that breaketh the rock in pieces?
30 Therefore, behold, I am against the prophets, saith
the Lord, that steal my words every one from his neighbour.
31 Behold, I am against the prophets, saith the Lord,
that use their tongues, and say, He saith.
32 Behold, I am against them that prophesy false dreams,
saith the Lord, and do tell them, and cause my people to err by their
lies, and by their lightness; yet I sent them not, nor commanded them:
therefore they shall not profit this people at all, saith the Lord.
Ezekiel 22:30 KJV
30 And I sought for a man among them, that should make up the
hedge, and stand in the gap before me for the land, that I should not destroy
it: but I found none.
Matthew 23:29 KJV
23 Woe unto you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! for ye
pay tithe of mint and anise and cummin, and have omitted the weightier matters
of the law, judgment, mercy, and faith: these ought ye to have done, and not to
leave the other undone.
24 Ye blind guides, which strain at a gnat, and swallow a
camel.
25 Woe unto you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! for ye
make clean the outside of the cup and of the platter, but within they are full
of extortion and excess.
26 Thou blind Pharisee, cleanse first that which is within
the cup and platter, that the outside of them may be clean also.
27 Woe unto you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! for ye
are like unto whited sepulchres, which indeed appear beautiful outward, but are
within full of dead men’s bones, and of all uncleanness.
28 Even so ye also outwardly appear righteous unto men, but
within ye are full of hypocrisy and iniquity.
29 Woe unto you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! because
ye build the tombs of the prophets, and garnish the sepulchres of the
righteous,
30 And say, If we had been in the days of our fathers, we
would not have been partakers with them in the blood of the prophets.
31 Wherefore ye be witnesses unto yourselves, that ye are the
children of them which killed the prophets.
32 Fill ye up then the measure of your fathers.
33 Ye serpents, ye generation of vipers, how can ye escape
the damnation of hell?
34 Wherefore, behold, I send unto you prophets, and wise men,
and scribes: and some of them ye shall kill and crucify; and some of them shall
ye scourge in your synagogues, and persecute them from city to city:
35 That upon you may come all the righteous blood shed upon
the earth, from the blood of righteous Abel unto the blood of Zacharias son of
Barachias, whom ye slew between the temple and the altar.
36 Verily I say unto you, All these things shall come upon
this generation.
