When we give, it gets God’s attention. I am not suggesting that we can buy miracles. I am not saying you pay God to meet your needs, but I am saying God sees your gifts. He sees your acts of kindness. Every time you help somebody, God sees. It pleases God when you give, and He will pour out His favor in a new way in your life.
In your time of need, put some action behind your prayers. If you are believing for a promotion at work, do not just say, God, I am counting on You. God, I know You will do it. Sow some seed. Do more than pray. Go out and feed the poor or do something to get that seed in the ground. Your gifts will go up as a memorial before God.
Perhaps you are hoping to buy a new home or to get out of debt. Sow a special seed that relates to your specific need. We cannot buy God’s goodness. We can exercise our faith through our giving.
When we give, God is able to make it all up to us by giving us everything we need and more so that there will not only be enough for our needs, but we will have plenty left over so that we can give joyfully to others. God has promised us that when we give, He will give back to us, then add some more.
Where you are praying and believing and hoping for something to change, but thus far, noting has happened. Perhaps you need to sow a special seed. Sow your time. Sow a special offering. Do something out of the ordinary as an expression your faith.
If you want to live your best life now, do not hoard what God has given you. Learn to sow it in faith. When you give, you are preparing the way for God to meet your needs now and in the future. When you are generous to others, God will always be generous with you.
