INTRODUCTION:
GOD HAS A FINANCIAL PLAN FOR HIS PEOPLE.
Gods financial plan is the law of sowing and reaping.
The body of Christ has to come to the place of faith where we believe Gods financial plan.
It is a system operated by faith.
Faith is believing (acting) on what God has said in His word.
We should believe Gods word when He says He will bless our giving
1. THE LAWS OF SOWING AND REAPING
Luke 6:38 . He will cause men to give to your bosom, when you give.
There is a level of faith that will bring you a much greater return on investment than anything a worldly system can give..it is the level of sowing and reaping.
Mathew 6: 19 - 20 ..lay not up for yourself treasures on earth where moth and rust doth corrupt and where thieves break through to steal, but lay up for yourselves treasures in heaven where neither moth nor rust doth corrupt and where thieves do not breakthrough nor steal
God has a heavenly banking system for His people.
LUKE 12:15-21 . Become rich towards God!
The rich fool put his faith in the money he had and not in God...one way to direct your heart is through your giving..
YOU KEEP YOUR FAITH IN GOD ACTIVE THROUGH YOUR GIVING.
IT "pays" to be rich towards God.
Thereis no nation on earth or economy that can guarantee you a better return on investment than the kingdom of God
In the world system, they talk about "percentages" but in the kingdom it talks of "many folds"
Gods way of blessing HIs people is to "demand for their faith " to be released by acting on His promise.
He has given us great and exceedingly precious promises that by these we might become partakers of HIs divine nature..LUKE6 :38 is one such promise
In the kingdom one fold is 100% that means God doubled your money
Mathew 13:8,23; Mark 4:8,20 shows the rate of return for the kingdom, it starts off at thirty fold, sixty fold and then hundred fold
Heavens economy is the only economy that can afford this kind of return.
You as a believer have a heavenly bank account just like you have an earthly bank account. It works in the same way, only that the heavenly bank account is governed by Gods Way of doing things..his ways are higher than our ways.
It takes faith in the word to operate this banking system.. God says He will give you a return on your investment
Psalm 138:2...He has magnified His name above His Word. He wants us to hold Him to His word..Isaiah 43:25 ,26
2 .WE ARE TO MAGNIFY THE PROVISIONS NOT THE PROBLEM
Don't go on about your problems in the place of prayers , go on about His provision.
Philippians 4:15-17 ..your account
Mathew 6:19 -20 ..lay up for yourselves treasures
Jesus never said to give because God needs the money, but to give because we need the money....LAY. UP FOR YOURSELVES, NOT FOR GOD. HE IS TALKING ABOUT TANGIBLE THINGS...THINGS THAT THIEVES CAN STEAL.
WHATEVER YOU GIVE INTO THE KINGDOM, YOU ARE DOING SOMETHING FOR YOURSELF NOT FOR GOD..
.You won't need money in heaven..
In Philippians Paul was talking about Giving And Receiving...two sides of the same coin...both are down here on earth.
MARK 10:17-31' we have left all and followed you...a hundred fold now in this life. Vs 30 .
IT IS HARD FOR PEOPLE WHO HAVE ALREADY OBTAINED GREAT WEALTH THE WORLDS WAY TO ENTER INTO GODS SYSTEM OFF FINANCE THAN IT IS FOR PEOPLE WHO DON'T HAVE MUCH MONEY
When we give we are depositing money into our heavenly bank account so God can multiply our investment and return it to us...DON'T BE ASHAMED TO EXPECT TO RECEIVE...GOD HAS PROMISED TO RETURN YOUR GIVING TO YOU....PROVERBS 19 :17
The issue is about misplaced faith..trusting in the worlds system. When a god blesses you, you will have money in the bank.
God will at times require you to give an amount of money that will require you to trust in him for your sustenance. He is not taking anything from you but looking for a way to get things to you if you will respond to Him in faith.
3.THE PRECIOUS SEED. SO W IN TEARS...PSALM 126:5
CHARGE THEM THAT ARE RICH TO TRUST IN GOD NOT IN THEIR RICHES..GOD IS TO BE OUR SOURCE
We do that by putting money into our heavenly account trusting Him to multiply it back to ous
1Timothy 6:17-19........THE MONEY IN THE BANK IS CALLED UNCERTAIN RICHES...THE ONE IN YOUR HEAVENLY BANK ACCOUNT IS A GOOD FOUNDATION FOR THE FUTRE..
When you give you are laying up treasures for yourself.....
Those who prosper Gods way will be givers!
MARK 6:31-33 ..The context here is money, it contrast Gods way with that of the ungodly...
CONCLUSION.
LLAY HOLD OF ETERNAL LIFE.
..I Timothy 6:17-19, quality of life not quantity of life. Note that the people paul was writing to we're already believers. Eternal life means the God quality of life.
Jesus answer to the rich young ruler shows he was not talking about salvation because you can't earn salvation by what you do, and Jesus had not yet paid the price for salvation.. The young rich man had money but there was something still missing in his life...eternal life is the peace of God, the joy of of The Lord , prosperity, health, witness of the Holy Spirit...ZOE, THE GOD QUALITY OF LIFE!!
MARK 4:26-29
SOWING AND REAPING IS THE WAY THE KINGDOM WORKS..
Genesis 8:22 Faith is the key the switch to the whole del and proposition. It takes faith to give and to receive
There is no limit to the level God wants to bless you..your believing is your ceiling. Your giving and your receiving is the limit.
