The Secret To More! - Part 6: "Kingdom Living Requires Kingdom Giving!"

"One gives freely, yet grows all the richer; another withholds what he should give, and only suffers want." ~ Proverbs 11:24

The fruit of Kingdom Living comes directly from the seeds of Kingdom Giving. There are no short cuts to obtaining more of what's worth having; there are only detours. In his second epistle to the church at Corinth, the Apostle Paul writes, "The point is this: whoever sows sparingly will also reap sparingly, and whoever sows bountifully will also reap bountifully" (2 Corinthians 9:6). There is a direct correlation between giving and receiving. It is the inalienable law of the Kingdom of God. The laws of God cannot be circumvented; they can only be conformed to. "Do not be deceived; God is not mocked, for whatever one sows, that will he also reap" (Galatians 6:7).

Complying with this spiritual principle that governs the material realm of your life is more than just merely a question of money, whether giving it or receiving it. It is an over-arching principle that literally affects every realm and sphere of your life. The quality of your life as well as the quantity of your life will be determined by your overall compliance to this principal law of the Kingdom of God. The length of your life and the quality of those years hinge on your mastery of the Law of Reciprocity: sowing and reaping, giving and getting. You will only get as good as you give.

So then, it is profoundly important that we probe this great principle and put into practice this law that governs what our lives ultimately will amount to and for how long. When you find yourself in a ditch, whether it is financial or otherwise, it is wise to put down your shovel and stop digging. If today you find yourself in the pit of lack in any area of your life, will you put down your shovel long enough to hear how to find your way out? Good, let's begin...
