Remember This - -
A Farmer Who Plants
Only A Few Seeds Will Get A Small Crop.
If we learn this principle and put it into practice it will change our lives!
Scripture
Observation
A
person who wants to argue over whether the Bible teaches that we as believers
should “tithe” or not misses the entire point of why we should give in the
first place!
The
Apostle Paul explains why we should be very generous and he uses an
illustration that all of us, even those who never grew up in the country should
be able to grasp!
It
is the law of the harvest.
I
remember Dr. Waylon B. Moore teaching us this principle when Kathy and I were
first married. That was over 45 years ago and I have never forgotten what he
taught on the area of giving!
Here
are a few things that I remember about the law of the harvest:
- Reap only what we sow. (If you don’t sow anything then you are not going to reap anything.
- Reap same kind as we sow. (If you plant apple seeds you don’t get orange trees.)
- Reap in a different season than we sow.
- Reap more than what we sow. (Luke 6:38)
The
point this morning is that you and I can’t out give our Heavenly Father!
For God is the
one who provides seed for the farmer and then bread to eat. In the same way, he
will provide and increase your resources and then produce a great harvest of
generosity in you. 2 Corinthians 9:10
Application
I will continue to look for ways to be generous today.
How about you?
Prayer
Heavenly
Father, You are so generous with me. Help me be generous with those around me.
And …
Thank You for this Gift too wonderful for words!
2 Corinthians 9:15
