Memorise: For whosoever shall give you a cup of water to drink in my
name, because ye belong to Christ, verily I say unto you, he
shall not lose his reward. Mark 9:41
The Bible has laid much emphasis on the art of giving, especially to God,
the poor, widows, and our neighbours. Galatians 6:9 enjoins us not to
be weary in doing good. One good thing we must not be tired of is sowing. To
access your greatest financial harvest, continuous, consistent quality sowing
is required. Your first seed may open the door to blessings, but keeping the
door open requires persistent sowing. Are you already calling it quits with
sowing just because you cannot quantify the returns of previous seeds? Don’t!
You may be closing the door it took you so much effort to open! In the case of
the widow of Zarephath, it took the sacrificial cake she gave on meeting Elijah
the first day to open her door to abundance. If she had stopped at that, her
miracle would have expired long before the end of the famine, but she did not.
She kept the door permanently open by making cakes for Elijah daily for the
entire period. Your first seed must have the backing of the other seeds if you
will experience your ultimate financial breakthrough. Some people have pegged
their blessing or limited the space through which their blessings come. James
2:14 says:
“For whosoever shall give you a cup of water to drink in my name, because
ye belong to Christ, verily I say unto you, he shall not lose his reward.”
Another relevant example is King Solomon. His first notable seed was when
he sacrificed 1000 cows (1st Kings 3:4-15). This opened the
doors of wealth, wisdom, and honour to him. But he did not stop there. In fact,
immediately he got up from his revelational dream, he responded to God’s answer
by offering more. And he continued and increased his seed. In 1stKings
8:63, he gave God an offering of 22,000 oxen. Solomon continued to increase in
wealth because he sustained his giving. He became so prosperous that they lost
count of his wealth. In fact, 1st King 10:24-27 says
the whole world sought after the wisdom of Solomon and choice things as silver
and cedar become common place in his kingdom.
“What doth it profit, my brethren, though a man say he hath faith, and
have not works? Can faith save him? He later concluded that faith without works
in dead.”
Do you know that like King Solomon, God can bless you to the point that
the business idea He gives you could be sought after by the whole world? It is
possible for what people consider as priceless treasures to become common place
to you. But there is a price you must pay continuously. You must not stop
sowing. The door the Lord has opened to you which you were already closing by
refusing to sustain your seeds will be kept wide open from today. However, play
your part. Like Solomon continue to increase your seeds.
Prayer point: Father, please make me a giver and use me to provide
solutions to the problems of many in Jesus’ name.
