4 Kislev 5766 HIS INCREASE of my RICHES!!!
2 Corinthians 9:6-11 NIV
Remember this: Whoever sows sparingly will also reap sparingly, and whoever sows generously will also reap generously. Each man should give what he has decided in his heart to give, not reluctantly or under compulsion, for God loves a cheerful giver. And God is able to make all grace abound to you, so that in all things at all times, having all that you need, you will abound in every good work. As it is written:
Now he who supplies seed to the sower and bread for food will also supply and increase your store of seed and will enlarge the harvest of your righteousness. You will be made rich in every way so that you can be generous on every occasion, and through us your generosity will result in thanksgiving to God.
Generousity, of which should be fruit of every Believer in Christ, comes out of THE ABUNDANCE of what each believer has already received from God.
Any measure of riches, will always be attributed to the standard of measure which has been set by the investment.
In so many parables, Christ mentions talents of differing measures, being given to certain servants, and their actions regarding the amounts each received.
As our understanding is INCREASED by Holy Spirit, we must not look ONLY to the amounts given, but WE MUST give even MORE consideration to the amount of INCREASE returned from HIS initial investment given to each servant!
Having been given these riches, whatever amount God has entrusted each of us with,
Therefore, we can conclude, our entrusted amount depends on this measure of INCREASE, from where our OBEDIENCE in GENEROUSITY of sowing or investing the amount of talents we are given, a reflection of God's PROMISE of lavishing HIS children with Gifts of unMEASUREABLE Riches being dependent on
YOU alone are WORTHY, O'Lord Amen!!!
