REVIEW (THE MYSTERY OF SEEDS)
Two Immutable Truths
- Seeds fall into the ground and die.
- Seeds are sown in one form & reaped in another form.
JOHN 12:24 (NKJV)
HOW DOES A SEED DIE?
By releasing it to the Lord of the harvest.
- Matthew 9:38
Jesus is in control of the harvest
- I Corinthians 3:6 (ref)
WE DO NOT CONTROL HOW IT COMES BACK
We do not give to get.
We can’t be offended when we don’t receive what’s expected.
We cannot manipulate in our giving.
WE GIVE OUT OF LOVE FOR GOD AND OTHERS
Luke 14:8-14
“Invite those who cannot help you…”
Luke 6:38 (NKJV)
Luke 6:27-38 (NKJV)
- Love is our motive.
- Character is our nature.
1 CORINTHIANS 13:1-3 (NKJV)
We only profit when we act in love.
2 Corinthians 8:9 (NKJV)
Grace has provided righteousness, health and riches!
- 2 Corinthians 5:21
- Matthew 8:17
- 2 Corinthians 8:9
Romans 5:1-2 (NKJV)
Example:
A room full of riches and blessing.
- A door gives us access.
In the Kingdom (room) are riches and blessings.
- Faith is the door that enables us to receive grace (riches)
