Securing Overflowing Abundance





How we long for a net breaking catch! Many people wish, desire and pray for a one-time abundant harvest that will turn around their lives for the better. Some of them do all manner of things just to get this overflowing abundance. But the answer lies in sacrificial giving. This post tells you how to prepare to make great the harvest.

So He said, “Truly I say to you that this poor widow has put in more than all; for all these out of their abundance have put in offerings for God, but she out of her poverty put in all the livelihood that she had.” – Luke 21:3-4 (NKJV)

So Jesus answered and said, “Assuredly, I say to you, there is no one who has left house or brothers or sisters or father or mother or wife or children or lands, for My sake and the gospel’s, who shall not receive a hundredfold now in this time—houses and brothers and sisters and mothers and children and lands, with persecutions—and in the age to come, eternal life – Mark 10:29-30 (NKJV)

Many people don’t like sacrificial giving because it is really a sacrifice. It pinches the soul and body, though very healthy for the spirit. It is like the widow who gave out of her poverty; Jesus said she gave more than the others who gave out of their abundance.  It is the quantity of what you are giving compared to what is left and the ease with which you are giving it. This is why it moves God to give you back in return overflowing abundance. 

God’s palm is extremely bigger than yours. So when you give Him sacrificially according to the size of your palm, He gives you back according to the size of His palm. Hallelujah! The world says “keep and receive” to get abundant harvest, God says give and give to get overflowing abundance.  

As you give sacrificially your heavens are being filled, and like clouds full of rain waiting for the next moment to pour down, it pours down for you in its due season.  For some, it may be a one-time sacrifice that will bring about the desired turnaround but for others it may be an accumulation of sacrifices. One thing though is sure, the covenant must speak. The covenant keeping God surely will cause the harvest to come. Read more...
