Praise the Lord!  Glory to God!  I'm so excited to be with you today.  I have a word from heaven that will charge your spirit.  I refuse to live in lack.  We serve a God that is more than enough.  It is time for Christians to rise up.  Who said that being poor was being holy?  My friend that is a lie from the pit of hell!  When I preach on the love of God or on the peace of God, I get all kinds of email replies saying how great a message that was.  Now, since this prosperity series, mostly, not always, I get people mad cause I'm preaching God wants us to prosper.  Beloved, the love of God is prosperity!  The love of God is peace!  The love of God is healing in your body!  The love of God is household salvation!
Last week I introduced the seed principle.  God had set a law of increase in our lives as believers (Gen. 8:22).  Remember that everything in the kingdom of God works by faith.  However, Galatians 5:6 says that...faith works by love.  When you start giving just because it is your Christian, loving nature that is when God will show up in your life as an Ephesian 3:20 God.  I don't want to get too far off track.  I want to continue to explain the seed principle.  
Jesus Christ was a seed.  God had a son, but he wanted a family.  God sowed a very precious seed two thousand years ago so that he could reap a very precious harvest=us!  Do you see the increase?  God sowed one man to reap mankind.  This is how we, as believers, should obtain increase in our lives as well.  However, the average Christian, goes and works an extra job=which could be valuable time used to seek the Lord, read the bible, or confessing in your harvest.  I'm not preaching against working two jobs, but lets make sure God gets his time.
Turn with me to 2Corinthians 9:6.  But this I say, He which soweth sparingly shall reap also sparingly; and he which soweth bountifully shall reap also bountifully.  Simply stated= to the degree that you give is the degree that you receive.  If a farmer plants a few seeds, he will get a little crop.  Keep in my that when you give, you are not giving your money away.  A farmer doesn't say that he gives seed away.  You are giving into.  A farmer sows his seed into the ground.  Now that seed is in the ground, you have a right to expect a harvest.  
Now I really need for you to follow me here.  Look at 2Corinthian 9:10.  Now he that ministereth seed to the sower both minister bread for your food, and multiply your seed sown, and increase the fruits of your righteousness.  The he in verse 10 is referring to God.  In the first part of this verse it is saying that God will give seed or money to a sower.  Well, my next question is what is a sower?  Naturally, the answer would be someone who sows seed.  That is half correct.  There is a difference between someone who sows and someone that is a sower.  A sower's life depends on their seed.  For an example, when it doesn't rain for weeks at a time a farmer doesn't sleep very good.  His life is in his seed.  His provision for his family depends on what his harvest is!  This is a sower.  Now someone who sows seed is like this.  My mom used to have a little tomato garden in the back yard.  It was more of a hobby.  Our well being did not depend on if those tomatoes had a successful harvest. This is someone who sows.
Here is where we have made the mistake.  We have taken our paychecks as our income.  Your paycheck is your bag of seed.  The harvest is always bigger than the seed.  We have been living of seed!  That is why we have been living substandard.  Our paycheck is not our supply source.  God is our source.  Our paychecks are no longer our income, but it is the pathway to our income.   So what are saying Mr. Evangelist?  Are you saying that we need to start sowing all of our money that we receive?  Of coarse not!  I'm saying it is important to be sensitive to the holy spirit.  Give when he says give. That is why is so important to have a personal relationship with the Lord Jesus Christ.   The bible says that we move from faith to faith.  This sowing thing is a faith thing.
As I said earlier, it is extremely vital to seek the holy spirit to find out where you are to sow your seed.  One lady emailed me when I was teaching on the tithe.  She asked me that instead of giving her tithes to the church could she just give them to the poor.  Through the scriptures I showed her that the tithe goes to the church.  It is all through the bible that we should help the poor.  That is something as Christians that we should do.  I'm not preaching against the poor.  Let me ask you this?  Does the farmer look for poor soil or the rich soil to sow seed into?  Many times a person sees the rich preacher or the well established ministry, and they do not want to sow into that man or ministry.  Again, I stress develop an ear for the spirit of God.  He will guide you to all truths.  The Spirit of God will show you where and when to give.  Get ready...part III is coming next week.  Until next time, keep your eyes on Jesus

Well, it's that time again.  It's that time to dig into the truths of    God's word.  God is doing a mighty work upon the earth even as I type.  I just so excited about what going on.  Lately, we have been looking at money, and how it applies to the believer.  It is gonna take money to effectively spread the word of the Lord Jesus Christ.  However, many Christians don't want to hear the words money and church in the same sentence.  Man has rejected financial preaching in the church.  Man says that money is evil, and to stay away from them "prosperity preachers".  Then they take the word of God out of context and twist it to back up their doctrines.  Let's look at something.  Remember 9-11?  It took millions of dollars to pull those hijackings off.  Now look at the movie The Passion of Christ.  Again it took millions of dollars to create that movie.  It both scenarios money was used to shake the world!  One was positive; one was negative.  
It has never been God's plan for his people to dwell in poverty.  Now when I say "his people", I am referring to anyone that sincerely has a heart after God.  Turn with me to Ist John 3:1.  Behold, what manner of love the Father hath bestowed upon us, that we should be called the sons of God...  God considers us his children.  He didn't just create the earth, and place man down here to "play" for a while.  Just like I will make sure my children will have more than enough in life, God doesn't want us to lack in any area of our life.  This includes healing, wisdom, protection, provision, as well prosperity.  Do you realize that the Almighty God loved you so much he sent his son, Jesus Christ, to die so that we could have an abundant life?  Remember the message, Righteous Prosperity?  When you excepted Jesus in your life you became the Righteousnous of God in Christ Jesus according to IICorinthians 5:21.  Thus, you are susceptible to the all of the covenant of blessings that God has for us.  (for any copies of the messages in this series email me at theevangelist11@aol.com)
We are now entering the heart of our series.  Tithes, offerings, and vows are the foundation to obtaining God's abundance life.  Today I want to go even deeper with this thing.  We have talked about the worlds system of increase=work all you can, can all you get, then sit on the can.  God says that he takes the foolish things of the world to confound the wise!  God's has a sowing and reaping system.  God says that you take your finances and sow or give them into my kingdom and let me give back to you.  Thus I introduce to you seedtime and harvest.  Turn to where it all starts at.  Genesis 8:22.  While the earth remaineth , seedtime and harvest, cold and heat, summer and winter, and day and night shall not cease.  God is talking to Noah after the flood, and he promises Noah that he will not destroy the earth anymore.  
The kingdom of God operates off of this law of seedtime and harvest.  This law is an established principle; it will work for anyone that will get involved.  The law of gravity works all of the time.  For anyone that will get involved with the law of gravity, they will find out that the law is in motion.  If you was to step off the roof of your house, you will find out how this law operates. Listen=Once God has said something is established for ever.  The bible says that he puts nothing above his word.  God saw that mankind was evil.  God knew that it was no way man could be in the presence of his glory.  So God sowed his son Jesus Christ to bring us in as the harvest.  Jesus was a seed!  Your money is a seed.  Just like a farmer plants his seed to get his harvest, God wants us to plant seeds and let him bring us our harvest.  This is God's system of increase.  Most Christians are either ignorant to this revelation, or don't have enough faith to go with it.  Then some simply reject this teaching.  
Turn with me to Isaiah 32:20.  Blessed are ye that sow...  That word blessed means to be empowered to prosper or have success.  When you start sowing seed into God's kingdom, you are equipping yourself for a successful life.  Let me just say this also.  This is not a thing that you do one time and to "see" if it will work.  Sowing should become a lifestyle.  Please understand that God isn't trying to take something from you, he is trying to get things to you.  Flip over to Acts 20:35.  (Paul talking) I have shewed you all things, how that so labouring ye ought to support the weak, and to remember the words of the Lord Jesus, how he said, It is more blessed to give than to receive.
How much do I sow? Where do I sow?  When do I sow?  These are the type of questions that I will be answering in part II.  God has supernatural increase available for his people.  However, it has to be done his way.  This is not only something that I preach, this is what I live.  As I take my finances, and sow them into different ministries, God has blessed me more than I could ever have imagined.  Until next time, keep your eyes on Jesus
