TEXT: READ: LUKE 6:38, ACTS 20:35
God’s financial and prosperity plan is found in Luke 6:38.
Gods financial and prosperity plan for any nation or man (particularly man because God deals with individuals when it comes to relationships, John 14:23, Revelation 3:20) has always been hinged on giving out to another which as a matter of truth must precede receiving.
The Tithe and First Fruits doctrines (Proverb 3:9-10, Malachi 3:10-11) as instituted by God involves giving back in appreciation to the one who made it possible for one to have in the first place. Even in farming the same principles applies.
The farmer reserves a portion of his best yields to give back to the earth so that he can get again. The quality and quantity of what he sows determines the quality and quantity of the yield he gets back.
In order to get a good grasp of this ‘none like it’ blue print or plan I will be making use of some Financial and Insurance terms familiar to us in our everyday life.
God’s financial plan is a better pension and retirement plan,
It is an excellent life insurance policy,
It is a wonderful economic recession recovery package,
It is a fantastic economic prosperity stimulus.
The anti-lack and anti-poverty plan found in Luke 6:38 will take to the cleaners any world economic recovery plan designed by the IMF or the World Bank. It will beat the world’s best economist’s theory.
According to Luke 6:38 when you give out it will go through four processes or stages before it gets back to you.
The corn planted in the soil goes through the process of first dieing, then decaying and then coming back to life before finally springing (germinating) forth with vigour, rejuvenated and renewed as that beautiful blade of leaf you see.
When you give out it goes through the first stage of ‘GOOD MEASURE’ this is similar to attracting or generating ‘COMPOUND INTEREST’ in financial terms,
Thereafter it goes through the process of ‘PRESSED DOWN’, this is akin to the ‘PROFIT BEFORE every other expenditure e.g. TAX’,
Afterwards it goes through the process of ‘SHAKEN TOGETHER’; this is like your ‘TURNOVER’ at the end of a period.
Then finally it goes through the process of ‘RUNNING OVER’, this is your ‘PROFIT AFTER TAX’ which is actually a surplus and puts you in a stead to declare dividends.
A position where others can tap into your steady multiple streams of income and enjoy the flow.
Your ‘SUM ASSURED’ (which you projected in faith and expected from God) after your initial ‘PREMIUM or CAPITAL’(what you gave out) has come back to you but only this time multiplied severally-‘for with the measure that you mete withal it shall be measured to you again'.
Just like a farmer will plant a seed of corn and at harvest will get several curbs of corn with hundreds of seeds on each curb of corn. One seed was multiplied over and over by God’s nature (Genesis 26:12).
It is imperative that you the ‘ASSURED’ or giver note that the statements found in Luke 6:38 ‘…and it shall be given to you’, ‘…shall men give into you bosom’ is as constant as the rising of the sun and will never fail to be fulfilled in your life (Genesis 8:22).
HOW TO IMPLEMENT GODS FINANCIAL AND PROSPERITY PLAN:
1. Ask yourself ‘what will I like to get or have in my life?’
Then you go ahead and deposit or give that out to somebody or some people.
2. Ask yourself ‘how much of it do I want in my life?’
Then you deposit or give enough to generate that amount.
3. Your job is for you to be a life long giver or make a lifestyle of giving or depositing into other peoples lives to guarantee sufficient returns for a rewarding and fulfilling life.
4. Jesus told his disciples and others to give to Caesar what was Caesar’s. Likewise God should be given His due. Tithes and First Fruits are His. It is an injunction that must be obeyed wholeheartedly by everyone who loves God.
YOU CAN GIVE IN THESE AREAS:1. Money and Material needs
2. Help and Hospitality
3. Prayer and Intercession
4. Counsel and Witnessing
5. Your Time or just a Listening Ear
Be a giver like the Most High, not just a taker, who gave us Sunlight, Moonlight, Rain, the Air to breath, the Fruits and Plants to eat etc and most importantly His begotten Son, JESUS CHRIST (John 3:16).
Expecting to receive without giving is nothing but crass greed. When you fail to release the little in your hand you give God no other option but to withdraw big blessings that would have come your way. Further reading: Proverb 11:24-26, Ecclesiastes 11:1-3.
