[Luke 6:27-38 KJV] “But I say unto you which hear,
Love your enemies, do good to them which hate you, [28] Bless them that curse you, and pray for them which despitefully use you. [29] And unto him that smiteth thee on the one cheek offer also the other; and him that taketh away thy cloke forbid not to take thy coat also. [30] Give to every man that asketh of thee; and of him that taketh away thy goods ask them not again.
[31] And as ye would that men should do to you, do ye also to them likewise.
[32] For if ye love them which love you, what thank have ye? for sinners also love those that love them. [33] And if ye do good to them which do good to you, what thank have ye? for sinners also do even the same. [34] And if ye lend to them of whom ye hope to receive, what thank have ye? for sinners also lend to sinners, to receive as much again. [35] But love ye your enemies, and do good, and lend, hoping for nothing again; and your reward shall be great, and ye shall be the children of the Highest: for he is kind unto the unthankful and to the evil. [36] Be ye therefore merciful, as your Father also is merciful.
[37] Judge not, and ye shall not be judged: condemn not, and ye shall not be condemned: forgive, and ye shall be forgiven: [38] Give, and it shall be given unto you; good measure, pressed down, and shaken together, and running over, shall men give into your bosom. For with the same measure that ye mete withal it shall be measured to you again”.
Today, we will be exploring the supernatural laws of increase. I believe that God wants us to prosper, for a comfortable life and for kingdom expansion. Your prosperity must be a channel for kingdom finance. Don’t sit for anyone to chase you, you must be willing to give and sacrifice. The secrets behind increase and prosperity is spiritual. There are laws that lead to abundance and increase. Remember that not every increase is good, some growths are cancerous. When it come to riches that comes from the blessing of the Lord, it is spiritual. It is God Who rewards, and God cannot be mocked. If you think you are too smart and will not give, indeed, you are too dull to recieve. There are spiritual conditions and keys that opens the door to greatness and change. Let us discuss a few;
1. The first is equity:
God is a God of equity, so whatever you give is what determines what you recieve. It is therefore important to give without conditions. People don’t have to meet any conditions before you give to them. Just give because you believe it is more blessed to give than to recieve. Those who give recieve. “A liberal soul shall be made fat”. “If you sow sparingly, you reap sparing; if you sow bountifully, you reap bountifully”. God is a God of equity!
2. Let it should start with you;
You should be the first to start what you want to see. If you want to live in a world of love, don’t wait to be loved, just begin to love, and other will learn and love; if you want people to come to church on time, start coming on time, others will learn. Start the cycle that you want to see. Don’t wait for someone to start, you start. You have the revelation, so act on it.
3. Expect your returns from God:
Giving is not a lottery, give without expecting anything back from those you gave to. Many of the times, they will be ungrateful and pay you back with evil. When you give, give to God, and He will cause men to give back to your.
It is God who will cause men to give back to you. Those you give to, may not necessarily give back to you. Most people are ungrateful, but once you give, God will cause others to give to you. You must give expecting to recieve a good measure, pressed down, shaken together, and running over; but most often your returns will not come from those you gave to. Many people are ungrateful, so don’t expect much from those you gave to; you should rather expect to recieve from the men, God is sending to pour upon your laps.
4. You will reap in kind;
What you sow, determines what you reap. What are you sowing, if you sow oranges, you reap oranges. You reap the kind of what you have sown. If you sow goodness, you reap goodness; if you sow wickedness, you reap wicked. God cannot be mocked, whatever a man sows, that shall He reap. If you give your time, you will reap in kind; if you give your strength, you will reap in kind. You will reap what you sow. If you invest time into quiet time, you reap in terms of anointing. You will always reap in kind. If you spend time watching porn, you reap. Lust and bondage.
Many are not increasing because they lack the spiritual understanding to increase. They give as if they are giving to the pastor. Well you are not giving to the person who receives your gift, you are giving to God, who will reward you openly.
I pray for you to catch the anointing and grace of giving. May the Lord help you and may you never miss your blessings. Be blessed!
I love you;
Noah Simpe Bediako.
