EXPECT A HARVEST
“Give, and it will be given to you: good measure, pressed down, shaken together, and running over will be put into your bosom. For with the same measure that you use, it will be measured back to you.”
Luke 6:38 (NKJV)
Main Text: 2 Corinthians 9:6-15
Give and it shall be given unto you. That statement came straight from the mouth of Jesus. Yet there are a great many believers who flatly refuse to believe it. In fact, they actually have the mistaken idea that it’s wrong to expect to receive when they give.
What would you think about a farmer who planted seeds then let his crop rot in the field? You’d think he was a fool, wouldn’t you? And if He did it when others were starving you’d think he was criminally irresponsible. Well, it’s just as irresponsible to give financial seeds and ignore the harvest God promised. Especially when the harvest could help send the gospel to people who are starving to hear it. It is wrong to ignore the key to prosperity Jesus gave as it is to let a wheat crop rot in the field.
God wants us to receive from the financial seeds that we plant. He wants us to be prepared to require no aid ourselves and to be furnished in abundance for every good work and charitable donation. He wants us to have plenty, not so we can hoard it selfishly but so we can give generously.
Confession: I am anointed to prosper, I prosper in my going out and coming in. Because I’m a giver, I excel in all I set out to do. I have an excellent Spirit. Wealth and riches are in my house, I am a lender not a borrower, the wealth in my hands will be used to spread the gospel around the world, in Jesus name. Amen.
