Sowing Seeds
Today's Scripture
"This most generous God who gives seed to the farmer that becomes bread for your meals is more than extravagant with you. He gives you something you can then give away, which grows into full-formed lives, robust in God."
(2 Corinthians 9:10)
Today's Word from Joel and Victoria
God is faithful to reward you for the seeds of His unconditional love and unending hope that you help to sow in the lives of others. Today's verse makes the astounding promise that the more seeds you sow, the more God will increase your supply of seed so you can be an even greater blessing to those around you. The seeds of His Word and His love that you sow will produce a harvest that you will also share in. You may or may not be able to see the final harvest in your lifetime, but that's where God's promise really kicks in. His promise is not only for this life, but for your eternal life! God wants to multiply His favor and abundance on your work, your health, your relationships and your finances to meet your own needs and have an abundance to share with others.
A Prayer for Today
God, thank You for Your faithfulness to me, and Your promises of blessings. May I serve You in everything I do today so that I may be found faithful. In Jesus' Name. Amen.
I was sent this from a friend that goes to Lakewood aka the church of Joel Osteen. I am interested to see what you guys have to say. "Today's verse makes the astounding promise that the more seeds you sow, the more God will increase your supply of seed so you can be an even greater blessing to those around you." I don't know how much I agree with this, I think God provides equally for those who believe in Him and do His will. I would tend to say that God increases your supply of seed as you serve Him.
And correct me if I am wrong but know where "This most generous God who gives seed to the farmer that becomes bread for your meals is more than extravagant with you. He gives you something you can then give away, which grows into full-formed lives, robust in God."
(2 Corinthians 9:10) is there a promise in here "...that the more seeds you sow, the more God will increase your supply of seed so you can be an even greater blessing to those around you." The verse says that God gives seed to the farmer basically so the farmer can have food for meals and something to give away to others. Meaning that if we give to others and do as God ask, He will supply us the seeds.
