Hello
While reading Perry Stone’s Opening the Gates of Heaven, I was struck by this saying …
Have you ever heard the following statements?
- Plant a seed and get a harvest
- It is not a seed until you release it out of your hand
- Your level of giving will produce the level of harvest
- The greater the seed, the greater the harvest. The above statements are true if you are giving OUT OF OBEDIENCE (To God) with a pure heart and the RIGHT motive.(p. 241)
Here’s today’s Holy Nougat™
A life devoted to things is a dead life, a stump; a God-shaped life is a flourishing tree. — Proverbs 11:28
Might I urge any of us who is still “sowing” into a minister’s life or into a ministry because someone promised returns; please please prayerfully reconsider.
There are many who have this mindset, especially with the potential for retrns.
- Part of the challenge with this verse is that we often fail to recognize devotion to material things as a stumbling block to our faith.
To counter, might I suggest that we seek life by losing it to God. And in so doing, that which we sow – God’s word – will take root, becoming that flourishing tree in our lives, bringing forth fruit in due season.
From life to death to life again, sowing the Jesus way.
In Christ
