| "Weapons Of Wisdom” GOD’S ECONOMY II Christopher J. Hardwick Last week I answered the question: Does God want you to have abundance? The answer to that question is yes. There is the principle of sowing and reaping. This is true in every area. We must be givers to really benefit from this principle. I want to further examine the mindset that always thinks they have nothing to give. So the question for this week is: #2 What if I have nothing to give? 2 Cor 9:10-11 Now may He who supplies seed to the sower, and bread for food, supply and multiply the seed you have sown and increase the fruits of your righteousness, 11 while you are enriched in everything for all liberality, which causes thanksgiving through us to God. NKJV First of all He supplies seed to the sower. We have to understand the principle of Seed time & Harvest. If we expect to receive a harvest, we must plant seeds in the proper season. If a farmer decided to plant seeds in the summer that were supposed to be planted in spring, he would not have a harvest at the proper time. However if you would plant in the proper time and season you would have an abundant harvest. Now here’s the second step of this principle. When you do get to the harvest, do you extract the seeds from the fruit of the harvest? This is a key to getting on the cycle of Gods economy. What many people do is wait until they need something, or are desperate and then start planting. Now there’s a lot of grace and God is merciful, but at some point you will have to get in the cycle of Gods economy. The second part of this verse says: He will multiply the seed you have sown. If we want to see our seed multiply, we will have to sow seeds. We will increase the fruits of righteousness and be enriched with more to give! This principle works in every area of life not just economics. If you want love, you will have to plant love. If you want forgiveness, start forgiving. If you want respect, plant respect. Remember to give in every area and watch your harvest come in! Take those seeds and start sowing for your next harvest! |
