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.
Many times when the above scripture is read, what comes readily to everyone’s mind is money, no wonder it is only remembered during offerings in churches. But looking at the scriptures again especially from verse thirty seven, I discovered that Jesus was trying to communicate to the people the basic principles of life outlined as follows:
1. Your future outcome is actually determined by you rather than God. ( some religious people will contest this)
2. When you give your heart to bitterness, anger and unforgiveness, you’re indirectly inviting demonic oppression, molestation and physical infirmity.
3. When you become a wall to someone where you are meant to be a door, expect resistance and rejection in other areas of your life later in life.
4. When you derive joy in contributing to other people’s joy, anything or anyone fighting against you is only wasting their time.
5. What you say and how you feel are raw materials life uses to create products for you.
6. No one really works for another person or organization. Your commitment to your current assignment places you later in life. Not even your village people, current employer or demons can stop you. You can ask Jacob, Joseph or David.
7. Anything you celebrate in others, it’s only a matter of time to see it show up in your own life.
8. The only thing being genuinely born again guarantees you is heaven not Success. If you disobey or ignore the laws of success in any area, your failure is guaranteed despite your prayer and fasting.
Note: it amazes me while non believers are busy applying these basic principles and breaking new grounds, believers are busy demonizing and mystifying everything. It’s easier to tell an average Christian today that someone is responsible for his failure and convince him to sow seed than convincing him to read a book or attend a related seminar. Hear this, Deal with principalities at the place of prayer but operate principles in your daily activities.
COUNSEL:
1. Always think about the likely multiplied outcome of any action before engaging in it.
2. Don’t engage in prayer and fasting where you need to apply common sense. I’m yet to see the place in the Bible that says ‘prayer answereth all things’
3. Begin to sow in abundance what you need to see much more abundantly.
4. Stop abdicating your personal responsibility to God in the name of spirituality.
5. What you have been fasting, praying and having hands and legs laid on you maybe hidden inside a seminar or a small book- pick it and read! And leave God alone to attend to other serious issues.
6. Always be in search of who has what you are looking for and sow anything of value into their lives to activate yours.
7. Give your best to every opportunity you have, you don’t know who’s watching or listening to you.
I PRAY FOR YOU:
* May God give you the grace to always sow what is right in Jesus name!
* I bind every force manipulating you into doing the wrong things in Jesus name!
* I prophesy a positive change of story for you this week in Jesus name!
See you next week on this platform.
