Delaying charitable giving with the intent of future kingdom building can pose significant risks. Holding onto resources out of fear or reluctance to relinquish control can prevent individuals from fully engaging in their faith. It suggests a lack of trust in God's provision and can lead to the loss of those very assets we are trying to preserve. This mindset not only creates insecurity about the future but can also divert our focus away from the spiritual responsibilities we have towards our possessions.

Moreover, when we hold onto financial wealth, we might find ourselves enticed by the status and recognition that comes with controlling these resources. The temptation to take pride in our contributions or to attach our name to significant donations can distract us from the true mission of stewardship. Ultimately, these shifts in focus can hinder our ability to surrender our possessions to God, which should be the ultimate goal of financial stewardship and kingdom investment.
