2 Corinthians 8:9
For ye know the grace of our Lord Jesus Christ, that, though He was rich, yet for your sakes He became poor, that ye through His poverty might be rich.
2 Corinthians 9:6-10
But this I say, he which soweth sparingly shall reap also sparingly; and he which soweth bountifully shall reap also bountifully. Every man according as he purposeth in his heart, so let him give; not grudgingly or of necessity; for God loveth a cheerful giver. And God is able to make all grace abound toward you; that ye, always having all sufficiency in all things, may abound to every good work: (As it is written, He hath dispersed abroad; he hath given to the poor: his righteousness remaineth forever. Now he that ministereth seed to the sower both minister bread for your food, and multiply your seed sown, and increase the fruits of your righteousness;)
There is a mentality of the righteous, and giving is that mentality. Righteous people give. Not everything you get is for your use; some of those are meant to be given. Overflow comes from giving, not from hoarding. In the math of overflow, God brings the harvest just as fast as, or even faster than, the seed is being sown. The just (righteous) give and they give valuable things. Selfishness brings suffering because it causes men to have what they don't need, keep what they don't use, and refuse to give what they should. They suffer because they think only about themselves.
Give, and have some faith that God can take care of you.
What do you have in your hand? Be as practical as possible when walking by faith, but make sure you walk by faith all the same. Start from somewhere.
Do not kill the faith in your heart concerning your seed. Do not say, "It is a small seed, it is not much". No. Your seed is always great, unless you diminish its value by your words.
Start with the little you have in faith. Do not condemn yourself on the seed you sow. Judge yourself by what you have, not by what you do not have. Do not fold your hands when there is seed in front of you to sow. You always have seed to sow; ALWAYS.
Learn to encourage the faith of others. You cannot and you will not see and experience increase thinking about yourself alone. Believe God and give. Learn to give more than your money as well. Give material things to people, give your time, give your resources and give your faith in helping others.
God never limits anyone.Your giving always makes room for harvest; it gives God room to bless you.
IF IT CANNOT MEET YOUR NEED, IT IS A SEED.
Use seeds to solve your needs.
Learn to be a giver. Give without reservation and without seeming reason. It is easier to start with little. Let giving be a major part of your life. Your giving will always be move you forward.
God is your source. He is your ever-increasing money supply. Jesus has delivered you from lack, from poverty, from selfishness and from not having enough. He has delivered you from management of anything. He is faithful to provide you with a seed, and He is faithful to multiply your seed sown. He is your supplier and He is the multiplier of your seed. Sow. Give. He is faithful!
With a seed in your hand, you can get anywhere. God will multiply your little. He is faithful. Sow your seeds. Expect. Press in. Press into the manifestations of the spirit of God.
