FAITHFUL GIVING
It moves My heart with such joy when I see you giving joyfully and expectantly. I have ordained that the seed you plant must bring a harvest. I AM Your Father Farmer and I created the seed to be planted, the soil to receive, the rain to water it, and the seed to respond and grow into a harvest of fruit. Your harvest is directly apportioned to your planting. One seed produces 30, 60 or a 100 fold, but without the seed there is no harvest.
Remember, I ordained that each seed bear fruit after its own kind. Plant a dollar and you will receive more dollars. Plant kindness and you will receive kindness. Plant comfort and you will receive comfort in return. Scatter My Words and My Words will return a harvest of plentiful Words. Plant your time, and I will give you My time and other’s time. Plant your love and I will pour out even more in return. Give mercy and forgiveness and your own life will reap the same when you need even more. I AM the God of more than enough. I AM faithful to break the famine in your life as you are faithful to plant, and wait expectantly for your harvest of 30, 60 or a 100 fold return on your investment.
2 Cor 9:6-14 NLT
Remember this — a farmer who plants only a few seeds will get a small crop. But the one who plants generously will get a generous crop. You must each make up your own mind as to how much you should give. Don’t give reluctantly or in response to pressure. For God loves the person who gives cheerfully. And God will generously provide all you need. Then you will always have everything you need and plenty left over to share with others. As the Scriptures say, “Godly people give generously to the poor. Their good deeds will never be forgotten.” For God is the one who gives seed to the farmer and then bread to eat. In the same way, he will give you many opportunities to do good, and he will produce a great harvest of generosity in you. Yes, you will be enriched so that you can give even more generously. And when we take your gifts to those who need them, they will break out in thanksgiving to God. So two good things will happen — the needs of the Christians in Jerusalem will be met, and they will joyfully express their thanksgiving to God. You will be glorifying God through your generous gifts. For your generosity to them will prove that you are obedient to the Good News of Christ. And they will pray for you with deep affection because of the wonderful grace of God shown through you.
Matt 13:23 AMP
As for what was sown on good soil, this is he who hears the Word and grasps and comprehends it; he indeed bears fruit and yields in one case a hundred times as much as was sown, in another sixty times as much, and in another thirty.
Gen 1:11-12 NKJV
Then God said, “Let the earth bring forth grass, the herb that yields seed, and the fruit tree that yields fruit according to its kind, whose seed is in itself, on the earth”; and it was so. And the earth brought forth grass, the herb that yields seed according to its kind, and the tree that yields fruit, whose seed is in itself according to its kind. And God saw that it was good.
