God so loved the world that he gave

“For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life.” John 3:16 (kjv)

God is the greatest seed sower. He created seed. He knows what seed will do.

Seed is the great equalizer. When man says NO, God says, “YES”. In the last two years of covid, I have seen some of my greatest faith victories. I became debt free in 2021, paying off a 30 year mortgage six years ahead of time.

I also paid off a credit card that I had for 20 years. I had a $10,000 balance and in about 6 months, it was paid off.

Four weeks ago, (May 25, 2022) I had a new roof and gutters put on my house paid for in cash. It was all by the grace of God.

Back in 2018, I tried to borrow money from the Credit Union. The Credit Union said, NO. From 2018 until April 2022 of this year; I prayed, saved and sowed seed for increase.

The money came in; some of it was stimulus payments. Some of it was unexpected income, and some of it was gifts, what I call money miracles.

When man says NO, God says yes! Sowing seed is the way to get the harvest.

Seed time Harvest will set you free and keep you free.

I made giving part of my daily routine. I sowed into ministers of the gospel. I sowed into ministries. I sowed into Assembly of God missionary outreaches; I sowed into Salvation Army, Gleaners, and Forgotten Harvest.

I started a personal ministry called Act of Kindness, where I’d go into Dollar Stores and put $20.00 into the hand of a single mother with children. This ministry of giving is such a blessed ministry.

Jesus said,

“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.” Luke 6:38

I heard this scripture most of my Christian life. I thought I understood it until I began to put it to work. I started by giving $1.00 a day. Then I increased it to $5.00 a day.

I pressed into my giving by challenging myself to give more and more, to go higher and higher. I paced my giving a little at a time. Then my harvests started to come in. My harvests started to increase and increase and increase. I was getting $1,000 harvests in return.

I’ve heard this minister say, ‘I don’t work for a living, I give for a living.’ He has a lifestyle of giving.

Giving is a ministry, see Romans 12:8

Grace & peace!
