Luke 6:38
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 measure it shall be measured to you again.
There are 4 principles of sowing and harvest in the realm of Spiritual things. The first is: seed has to be sown before there can be a harvest. You might be saying, "that is obvious" well, it is in the natural world, so that we might understand that it is basic in the Spiritual.
In the parable of the Sower, in Matthew 13, we find that the seed is the Word of God. It is given to the sower and He sows into the world. In other words, He gives the seed that he has received, to the soil. Spiritually, we must give what we have received from GOD'S hand, to the good ground and then we can expect to see a harvest of abundance. If we do not sow the seed we have been given, by giving to the work of GOD in the world, we can not expect to see an abundant harvest.
What kinds of seed do we sow? Is it only money, as in the tithe or the offering given for the work of the Church? The tithe is basic first fruits given for GOD'S work through His Church, the seed has many forms including money. Some examples are: prayer, evangelism, teaching the Word of GOD, sharing food, knitting and crocheting items for those in need, calling the lonely, visiting the sick, clothing the naked, honoring parents, and giving the seed of kindness. There are so many other ways that a person can plant a seed of GOD into good ground. When we do this in the holy Name of JESUS and for His sake, we can expect to see a harvest of good things.
Think about this: the harvest is always greater than the seed planted. I might plant one peach seed, but the tree that grows from the one seed will produce a crop of peaches every year. Usually, there are more peaches than can be consumed by any one person, so we give away the peaches to other people, who plant a seed in good ground and they, too, have a peach tree with abundance. The more peaches the more potential trees to produce more peaches with seeds. This goes on and on. So does the Spiritual seed planted in JESUS name. There is no end to the abundance of one seed.
GOD has given us all seeds to sow, sow liberally and watch for the harvest. The sower always reaps what he sows. You will be greatly blessed.
