Now He who supplies seed to the sower and bread for food will supply and multiply your seed for sowing and increase the harvest of your righteousness; you will be enriched in everything for all liberality, which through us is producing thanksgiving to God.

 Supply and multiply your seed for sowing:

 2 Corinthians 9:10-11

10 Now He who supplies seed to the sower and bread for food will supply and multiply your seed for sowing and increase the harvest of your righteousness;

11 you will be enriched in everything for all liberality, which through us is producing thanksgiving to God.

 

            These verses are applied by numerous people to giving money. When you liken giving money to ministries of God, you are planting seeds. These seeds will sprout and multiply, giving many seeds in return. Since you reap the same kind of thing that you plant, you reap money “seeds”.

            This can very well be true. However, be careful of those encouraging you to give into their ministries. They may simply be using this to reap your seeds for themselves. Then your seeds can’t grow for you because they plowed them up for their own use (not necessarily for what God intended).

            On the other hand, don’t completely disregard that analogy because it is true at times. Be open to God’s directions, not man’s, and you will be fine. Some people are simply looking for an excuse not to give. Don’t worry; they won’t reap anything of note.

            Do you not have anything to sow? God is the One who will supply the seed to sow. He will give you the opportunity to plant seeds. He too is the One who will do the multiplying.

            These don’t have to be money seeds. They can be seeds of time or effort. You will also reap when sowing those types of seeds. God will increase the harvest of your righteousness. It could be that you sow one type of seed, but God causes you to reap a different type of harvest. Besides, it says that you will be enriched in everything. God will take care of all your needs as you take care of His peoples’ needs; including money needs.

           

If you could hear God speak, I believe this is what He would say:

            "You do not think that I want My children to live in poverty, do you? I don’t want them to live in poverty whether financially or spiritually. I want My children to abound in all things. I have not decreed a life of poverty for My children. I have decreed a life of abundance for them so that they can bless others. As people see how I bless you, then they will want to come unto Me so that I may bless them also. There is nothing that I would withhold from you. I only want the best. Allow Me to bless you abundantly in the spiritual and in the earthly.”

 

            57. God will supply me with seed for sowing. He will also multiply that seed and give me a great harvest of righteousness.
