Self-centeredness and greed:
LUKE 6:17-49
This verse reveals one of God's cardinal laws that will work in the spiritual realm, as well as the physical world. Just as we "give" seed into the ground to receive back many seeds, so it is with everything we give.
Whether it's money, possessions, an emotion such as love or hate, prayers, or our time, we will reap a harvest of whatever we give. We reap exactly what we sow and proportional to the same measure that we give
(Gal. 6:7-8).
"He which soweth sparingly shall also reap sparingly; and he which soweth bountifully shall also reap bountifully" (2 Cor. 9:6).
This law works on positive or negative things that we sow.
Although this is an unchangeable law of God, it can be overcome by a greater law in much the same way that we can escape the law of gravity by using the greater laws of thrust and lift. The negative things we have given don't have to come back to us if we apply the greater law of forgiveness
1 John 1:1-9 (NKJV)
What Was Heard, Seen, Smelt and Felt in other words - Life!
1 That which was from the beginning, which we have heard, which we have seen with our eyes, which we have looked upon, and our hands have handled, concerning the Word of life— 2 the life was manifested, and we have seen, and bear witness, and declare to you that eternal life which was with the Father and was manifested to us —
3 that which we have seen and heard we declare to you, that you also may have fellowship with us; and truly our fellowship is with the Father and with His Son Jesus Christ. 4 And these things we write to you that [a]your joy may be full.
Fellowship with Him and One Another
5 This is the message which we have heard from Him and declares to you, that God is light and in Him is no darkness at all.
6 If we say that we have fellowship with Him, and walk in darkness, we lie and do not practice the truth. 7 But if we walk in the light as He is in the light, we have fellowship with one another, and the blood of Jesus Christ His Son cleanses us from all sin.
8 If we say that we have no sin, we deceive ourselves, and the truth is not in us. 9 If we confess our sins, He is faithful and just to forgive us our sins and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness.
Likewise, the good things we have sown can be voided if we don't continue doing well. (Gal. 6:9).
God is our source, but God uses people. If we pray for finances, God is not going to make counterfeit currency and put it into your wallet. He will use people to get the money to you. God will not just show up at your door one day like the PCH giveaway crew!
God has set up a perfect system on this earth which must follow His original plan and purpose to be complete in the Kingdom of God!
Why else would God put a plan into place if we were not to accept and follow it?
Because - otherwise, it will become weak and useless if it could be manipulated by everyone at the whim of humans! This is not how God's Grace works meet our prayers. We must learn to trust and follow His perfect plan and purpose!
So, it is not always as simple as praying for money and receiving it the next minute. We need to believe the Lord hears and answers our prayers, and then pray for the people He's going to use to deliver the answer. This could mean any number of people such as our employer and the people who buy our goods.
God has set a perfect plan in place let's learn to use it and help others so everyone gets a fair shake in life! Stop all the selfishness and greed!
Ultimately God is your source, trust Him. This is the perfect plan for eternal success for all! Use it to improve your life friend! |
