I want to share this from today's devotional on The Spoken Word Church website:
Target Your Seed Faith
Your offerings are seeds that you sow. Seed faith is sowing what you have been given to create something you have been promised. Elijah taught the seed faith principle to the widow of Zarephath. She believed it. She planted a portion of what she had back into the work of God. She expected her seed to be multiplied back to her. It happened.
Plant a seed today into the work of God. Wrap your faith around it, and remember that the seed that leaves your hand really never leaves your life. It goes into your future where it multiplies.
2 Corinthians 9:10 tells us that HE (God) provides seed for the sower!
10 And [God] Who provides seed for the sower and bread for eating will also provide and multiply your [resources for] sowing and increase the fruits of your righteousness [which manifests itself in active goodness, kindness, and charity]. AMP
That means that He has called us to be sowers AND He provides the seed in the first place! Did you realize that EVERY good thing in your life ultimately came from the God of the Bible (James 1:17)? So make it a habit to sow into the lives of others every day! Sow time, energy, resources and prayer. Then name what it is that you need in return and declare it yours! Sow generously and you will receive generously! Remember this from Luke 6:38:
38 Give, and it shall be given unto you; good measure, pressed down, and shaken together, and running over, shall men give into your bosom. For with the same measure that ye mete withal it shall be measured to you again. KJV
Are you ready to become a consistent sower of good seed? There is no better time to start than right now! Ask the Holy Spirit to lead you and to open your eyes to see the opportunities! If you still need some help, check out the giving page on The Spoken Word Church site through the link at the left! We welcome sowers into the work of the ministry and support ministry partners around the world! Here, to encourage you in this, is Hillsong United with "Go":
Shalom in Him!
