SECRETS OF ABUNDANCE 1
Memorise:
I have planted, Apollos watered; but God gave the increase. So then neither is
he that planteth anything, neither he that watereth; but God that giveth the
increase. 1 Corinthians 3:6-7
Read: Genesis 26:12-14, Bible in one
year: 2nd Chronicles 31:32, Ecclesiastes 4:1-8
You must be prepared to work had if you
want abundance. Nevertheless, it is quite a different thing to work hard, and
another thing to experience abundance. Although God may grant you open doors to
financial favour, it is your responsibility to work towards getting to the
pinnacle of all-round abundance. To achieve this, you will be required to do a
great deal of hard work. Diligence in hard work is always rewarded. Farmers
work hard to reap beautiful harvest. When farmers sow seeds, they begin to grow,
but weeds also alongside the seeds sown. Therefore, besides nurturing the good
seeds, you must also work hard to get rid of weeds. You are not only expected
to work hard, but also to pray hard. Anyone who desires an encounter with the
Almighty, which would yield the ultimate abundant blessing, must be ready to
work and pray hard.
“I
have planted, Apollos watered; but God gave the increase.” 1st
Corinthians 3:6
Paul may plant and Apollos may water but
it is God alone who gives the increase. You must learn to pray hard and call
upon God to give you increase. Lazy people cannot experience all-round
blessing. Those who are not prepared to work and pray hard are not yet ready
for any form of meaningful breakthrough. Remember to put God first when your harvest
begins. The Bible commands that we must honour God with our first fruits. Some
people harvest and allow the proceeds to waste away. Until you learn to honour
God with your substances, you will not be able to benefit even from the harvest
you have laboured for. The Bible attributes one of the reasons of fruitless
efforts to failure to put God first in out harvests (Haggai 1:4-6). Some people
gather their harvests and put them in bags with holes. The problem of leaking
bags emanates from failure to honour God by giving Him the first fruits of our
harvest. If you do not give God, you may end up wasting away the proceeds of
your harvest. Those who harvest into bags with holes are those who refuse to
put God first. Put God first in all your earnings as from today and you will
experience abundance.
Action Point
Think of the ways you have been robbing
God of His tithes and first fruits. Repent and perform restitution.
