Read Proverbs 11:24 Prayerfully Before Proceeding.
Getting Less Than God Wants For You
Many people, who claim to love the Lord, struggle because, instead of possessing possessions, they are really possessed by them: For them, giving away from themselves, to help God’s Kingdom work to be done, which could benefit others, is a foreign concept. The end results, according Proverbs 11:24, and according to basic agribusiness protocols, actually leaves them with far less than God would want them to have.
The Farm
Think of this wisdom as follows: Imagine you own a farm, and your vision is to produce a bumper crop. You must invest your time, talent and treasure in purchasing seeds, plowing the ground, planting the seeds, covering them, and regularly giving of your self to cultivate the ground, as the Creator works the miracle of producing the bumper crop about which you are dreaming. Failure to make these investments will leave you a bankrupt farmer. But healthy sowing results in generous reaping. As our scripture says, you “increase ever more. ” Failing to do so “results in want and poverty. “
I AM SELFISH
One reason I invest time, talent, and treasure in others lives and ministries, as a result of the grace of God working in me, because of Jesus, is I am selfish: I love to see what pouring myself into others accomplishes in them, and what they want to do to accomplish Gods will. However, the pay back for me is far greater. There is a return to me of fullness and life! I become amazingly blessed. And this being blessed empowers me to be an even greater blessing.
Needless to say, I pray you will experience R.E.S.T or Rock-solid Eternal Spirituality Today . I pray you will be a giver who gives generously who “increases all the more.” I really do not want you to be less than God wants you to be or have less than God wants you to have. Please, seriously consider giving generously into God’s Kingdom. Then follow through. You will be glad you did.
