Money Is A Catalyst

  The seeds that we've kept inside of us will grow when the rain of God's blessings comes. Those seeds that grow will show if they're good or bad things planted in our lives.   For land that drinks in the rain often falling on it and that produces a crop useful to those for whom it is tended receives the blessing of God. But land that produces thorns and thistles is worthless, and its curse is imminent. In the end it will be burned . [Heb 6:7-8 BSB]   The rain of God's blessings can also be quantified as “money.” This money-blessing does not change us. It just reveals who we are or what we have become. Money does not change our color; it shows our true colors.   Money is an amplifier. It amplifies the whispers of our souls, the faintest echoes from the deepest recesses of our hearts.   If you're generous, you'll be able to help a lot of people. [Rom 12:8] If you're godly, you'll have an abundance left over for every good work. [2Cor...

Laws of Seed and Harvest (Part 2)

Harvest Size is Dependent on Seed Value Remember this: The farmer who plants a few seeds will have a very small harvest. But the farmer who plants because he has received God's blessings will receive a harvest of God's blessings in return. (2 Cor 9:6 GW) (Image courtesy of Lightstock )   In the natural realm, we understand that if a farmer does not plant today, he will not reap tomorrow. Moreover, when a planter uses inferior and low-quality seeds, the harvest will be affected. It’s either the entire yield is poor in quality, or the cream of the crop is small. Defining a Valuable Seed Heaven’s economy is different from our world system. The Lord of the Harvest, in all His justness and fairness, does not see the value of a seed like we do. We easily measure in amounts, and we easily contrast the buying power of a 100 bill to a 1 coin. But this is not the eternal basis of value. The Most Generous Giver of All Our Lord Jesus was and is nosey about offerings. He observed t...

Laws of Seed and Harvest (Part 1)

There is a force at work in our lives that governs our prosperity. It is a mechanism set in place by God that goes on and on even when we are not aware of it. Image courtesy of Lightstock The Lord has said, “ As long as the earth endures, seedtime and harvest...will never cease .” (Gen 8:28) Seedtime and harvest is a paired action and reaction. Sowing and reaping always go together. The laws of seed and harvest are so embedded and ingrained in our system, both physical and spiritual, that the Bible says, “ God can not be mocked. A mans reaps what he sows. ” (Gal 6:7)   So now we have a responsibility to embrace these biblical principles and have them be deep-rooted into our consciousness. The seed must be planted I tell you the truth, unless a kernel of wheat falls to the ground and dies, it remains only a single seed. But if it dies, it produces many seeds. (John 12:24 NIV)     A seed for planting will remain to be just that, a seed - single, unproductive a...

The Welfare of the Seed-planter

Sowers are special to God Let each one [give] as he has made up his own mind and purposed in his heart, not reluctantly or sorrowfully or under compulsion, for God loves (He takes pleasure in, prizes above other things, and is unwilling to abandon or to do without) a cheerful (joyous, “prompt to do it”) giver [whose heart is in his giving]. (2 Corinthians 9:7 AMP) There are only a dozen verses and categories where the Bible explicitly showed what or who God loves, and one of them is a cheerful giver. The Lord already loves us just as we are – His children, His treasured possession. There is nothing in this world that could lessen that, and there is nothing we could ever do to make God love us more than His other children. God’s love is absolute. But there’s a special action on our part that thrills His heart: Cheerful giving. He is thrilled because with our cheerful giving, He gets to give to us more. Joyful seed-planters give in faith. They have come to grips that they are not le...

The Seed Principle

The Bible is our reference for Christian Economics and financial progress. The Word of God is full of revelations concerning prosperity waiting to be uncovered by every generous child of the Father. And it all starts with a seed. Image courtesy of www.shutterstock.com Spiritual Seeds   God’s Word is a seed. The farmer sows the word. (Mark 4:14 GWT) When we share the Gospel, the Holy Spirit uses the Bible verses that we have planted into people’s hearts to convict them of their need of a Savior. Sometimes, we reap a harvest of souls in just hours (or less). Other times, it takes days, weeks, months and years before these people surrender to the love of God. And there are also times when we will reap a harvest from other seed-planters. They heard the word of God somewhere, grew in their hearts, and now, with your ministry – they are ready to become disciples of Christ. Faith is a seed. “…Truly I tell you, if you have faith as small as a mustard seed, you can say to this mou...
