“But this I say, he which soweth sparingly; shall reap also sparingly; and he which soweth bountifully shall reap also bountifully.” 1 Corinthians 9:6

God is interested in the principle through which the value of your giving can increase. If your giving can be founded on the quality not the value, God will increase the value.

The blessings are not on value but on the quality.



When God wants to consider the value of our giving He considers how much we are open to give. The way God gave His only begotten Son is the same way God expects us to give Him. Not with a wrong set of expectations.

The harvest of what you gave might not be exactly where you are expecting it. Our opening text shows us God's yardstick of giving us back.

Giving sparingly is giving Like Ananias and Sapphira. Because Lands don’t have a specific value, God was not interested in the quantity of their giving; He was interested in the quality of giving.

Until your Christian life makes some level of progress financially, there is so much you would not be able to do in and for God.

Many don’t propose what to give before they appear before the Lord. God gives you in the manner you gave Him, (2 Corinthians 9:7). Until we understand the basis of God’s idea we would not make so much progress. Everything God teaches us in His word is beneficial for your life.

Your giving should not be a free will giving but a proposed giving. Every giving we give to the Lord must be a proposed giving. Everything you propose to give to God will be the limit to which you set yourself to give. This is the reason why God is able to make all grace abound towards you.

He is able to make all grace abound towards me when I propose in my heart. Sowing in tears is God's way of proving that you give Him quality, even when it demands you giving all. There is no giving that God overlooks when done rightly. For He is not mocked, whatsoever a man sows that will he reap. Many times we give to God and not realize that God demands it because it's for a purpose. The pressures you think you are facing is God's way of preparing you for something.You've got to square up to life and have God find you faithful.

DECLARATION
I am a giver of life and substance. I give bountifully, my harvest is sure!
