MISTAKES WE MAKE ABOUT MONEY

Give, and it shall be given unto you Lk 6:38

Jesus had been Preaching to, and Healing a great Multitude of People, from all over Judea, because Power was Flowing Out From Him,  and then HE spoke to them about LOVING Their ENEMIES.

LUKE 6:37-38,  
²⁷ "But I say to you who hear: Love your enemies, do good to those who hate you,
²⁸ bless those who curse you, and pray for those who spitefully use you.
³⁰ Give to everyone who asks of you. And from him who takes away your goods do not ask them back.
³¹ And just as you want men to do to you, you also do to them likewise.
³² But if you love those who love you, what credit is that to you? For even sinners love those who love them.
³⁵ But love your enemies, do good, and lend, hoping for nothing in return; and your reward will be great,

³⁸ Give, and it will be given to you: good measure, pressed down, shaken together, and running over will be put into your bosom. For with the same measure that you use, it will be measured back to you."  (And you Reap what you SOW)

The FIRST Mistake we Often Make about Money is, God Doesn’t Want Us To Prosper.

But nothing could be further from the Truth.

PSALM 35:27, (NKJV) tells us…………
²⁷ "Let the LORD be magnified, Who has pleasure in the prosperity of His servant."  GOD WANTS His People to Prosper, in Order to be a Blessing. Prosperity is Simply Having Enough to Do the Will Of GOD with, and enough Left Over to Bless others.

The SECOND Mistake is Thinking We Don’t have the Ability Or the Right to Prosper.

Listen to God’s Word on this Subject:-

DEUTERONOMY 8:18, (NKJV)
¹⁸ And you shall remember the LORD your God, for it is He who gives you power to get wealth, that He may establish His promises with YOU which He swore to your fathers, as it is this day.

HOW can a Child that FAILS, bring Honour to Their Parents? The truth is that You don’t have a Thing that HE didn’t give you, and WHEN HE Can Trust you with MORE, HE’LL give it to you. In HIS Kingdom, the Principle is ALWAYS, “GOD First.”  God what do you want Me to do with this Money??

The THIRD MISTAKE We Make is Believing that  the Offering is the Time when God Gets MONEY FROM His Children.  Can you Imagine a GOD who paves HIS streets with GOLD and OWNS the Cattle on a Thousand Hills, needing what You’ve Got to Finance HIS Purposes? It’s Only out of HIS Goodness that HE gives us the Privilege of Being Involved, because His Intention is to Pour Back Into our Lives.   

LUKE 6:38 tells us, ³⁸ Give, and it will be given to you: good measure, pressed down, shaken together, and running over will be put into your bosom. For with the same measure that you use, it will be measured back to you again.   The TRUTH is that Offering Time, is NOT how GOD gets Money FROM His children, It’s how HE gets Money TO THEM.

YOUR SOWING DETERMINES YOUR FUTURE.

Dr Mike Murdock says, Your Financial Future is Determined by THREE THINGS.

What You SPEND, what you SAVE, and what you SOW.  Here in Dalby QLD we understand that the BIBLE Teaches that Consecutive Sowing guarantees Consecutive Reaping.

2 CORINTH 9:6-11, teaches Us this.

VERSE 7-8 both tell us,

⁷ So let each one give as he purposes in his heart, Not grudgingly or of necessity; for God loves a cheerful giver.
⁸ And God is able to make all grace abound toward you, that you, always having all sufficiency in all things, may have an abundance for every good work. 

Your Future starts with whatever You have in Your Hand Right Now. Nothing is TOO Little to Multiply. (Remember the Widows TWO MITES, Luke 21:2) Every one of US has received Something from GOD that’s Capable of Reproducing. The Secret is Putting IT in God’s Hands. (The Little Boy 5 Loaves 2 Fish, put it in Jesus Hands)

In JOSHUA 1:8, God says He Wants YOU to Succeed. Believe HIM! HE wants You to have Enough to Fulfill His Will for Your Life. LISTEN, “I am the The Lord your GOD who Teaches you to Profit, and who Leads you in the Way you should Go. That’s, (Isa 48:17)

JESUS taught Fishermen how to fish more profitably (Luke 5:1-11) HE Taught His disciples where to find money to pay their taxes. [A Fish’s Mouth](Matt 17:27) HE also taught them that GIVING (not withholding), is the Way to Multiply what’s been given to you.

[See Luke 6:38]. Sometimes Your Seed is your ONLY WAY out of Trouble, but you Have To Sow IT. [Widow of Zarephath in1 Kings 17.

Here Are THE FACTS: Jesus showed People WHERE Money could be Found. When they failed, HE Motivated them to GET UP and Try Again using New Methods. HE focused them on GOD as their Source. He encouraged them to Expect a Harvest from everything they Sowed.  Today as you hear me speak, If Your HAVEN’T Been Sowing as you should, then ASK the Lord to show you What To Do, and then start doing it Today.

 

Let Me Pray for You.
