How Christian Billionaires Have Sown Their Seeds.

A wise farmer knows that his harvest will always come from the seeds he plants in his own farm. From his harvest, he first sets asides seeds to plant for the next planting season, then he sells some, eats some and gives some out to those in need. A wise farmer knows that whatsoever he plants, he must surely reap.  Only a lazy farmer would expect his harvest to come from the seeds he eats, sells or gives to someone in need.

A farmer will be rewarded from every seed he eats, that which he sells and that which he gives out to someone in need but he always knows that his harvest will only and always come from the seeds he plants.

In terms of money, it is the same as money is a seed which produces a multiplied harvest of the same when planted in the right soil.

To plant money means to invest money. The world's wealthiest chirstians are not just givers but they are investors of money. They thereafter give heavily from the multiplied seed harvest of their money.

1. Tyler Perry. Planted in Tyler Perry Studios. Networth: $400 million.
2. Cher Wang & Wenchi Chen. Planted in HTC Corporation. Networth: $8.8 billion.
3. Strive Masiyiwa. Planted in Econet Wireless. Networth: $1.4 billion.
4. David Green. Planted in Hobby Lobby. Networth: $5.6 billion.
5. Do Won Chang & Jin Sook Chang. Planted in Forever 21. Networth: $5.4 billion.
6. Folorunsho Alakija. Planted in Rose of Sharon and Famfa Oil. Networth: $2.1 billion.
7. Yomi Faneye. Planted in Bootstrap and another Undisclosed brand. Networth: Undisclosed

In conclusion, I want to encourage us all that as we give seeds, eat seeds, we must most importantly plant in our own farms because that is where the true harvest comes from.

Eat and Give but most importantly INVEST.

A WORD IS ENOUGH FOR THE WISE.

Giving Is Not Sowing Part 2.

May God give us eyes to see and understand.

"2 Corinthians 9:6-7 But this I say: He who sows sparingly will also reap sparingly, and he who sows bountifully will also reap bountifully. So let each one give as he purposes in his heart, not grudgingly or of necessity; for God loves a cheerful giver."

That scripture talks about sowing and reaping and it also talks about how it affects giving.

You SOW small and you REAP small so therefore you GIVE from your small harvest.

You SOW big and you REAP big therefore you GIVE from your big harvest.

The very same way Cain and Abel sowed, Cain being a tiller of the ground and Abel being a keeper of sheep and they REAPED a harvest after which they GAVE offerings out of their harvest.

Scriptures talk about the relationship between sowing and reaping and how it affects giving.

Alas, we have thrown away the very importance of sowing and declared that giving is equal to sowing. Ignorance gone on rampage.

Sowing comes before Giving. You SOW, you REAP then you GIVE.

Giving Is Not Sowing

Abel was a keeper of sheep; Cain was a tiller of the ground. They both sowed and reaped after which they gave offerings. #givingISNOTsowing

Noah gave offerings out of what he had; not in order to have. He gave from an existing harvest. You sow, reap then GIVE. #givingISNOTsowing

Abraham gave a tithe out of an existing harvest, albeit not his own. He DID NOT tithe in order to get a harvest. #givingISNOTsowing

Abraham was ready to give Isaac as offering; eventually gave a ram as an offering. In both instances he first received. #givingISNOTsowing

Jacob gave offerings to God out of what he already had. Every single offering he gave he first received in a harvest. #givingISNOTsowing

Moses said to Pharaoh, "You must also give us sacrifices and burnt offerings, that we may sacrifice to the Lord our God. #givingISNOTsowing

Jethro, Moses' father-in-law took a burnt offering and offered sacrifices to God out of what he already had. #givingISNOTsowing

Every person who gave an offering first received it. The process was set up at creation & NOTHING can change it. #givingISNOTsowing

Be fruitful (SOW), Multiply(REAP), Replenish the earth(GIVE). Without this you can't subdue the earth or have dominion. #givingISNOTsowing

The more we teach that giving is sowing the more we make people poorer. When we teach people right EVERYBODY wins. #givingISNOTsowing

Sacrificial Giving: The Cain & Abel Story.

Cain and Abel both sowed and reaped and from their harvests gave offerings to God.

Why was God happy with Abel and unhappy with Cain? Abel gave sacrificially; as an act of worship from his harvest and in total surrender.

On the other hand, Cain did not give sacrificially because he wanted something back from God. Sacrificial giving expects NOTHING in return. When Cain saw that God was unhappy with his offering, his countenance fell because his heart was not pure; he simply should have gone back to give God a better offering but instead chose to murder his own brother.

NOTE: They both sowed and reaped; Cain a tiller of the ground, Abel a livestock farmer. It was from their harvest that they gave offerings.

God is our provider and we must always expect Him to play His part of being a provider at all times for the sole and simple reason that HE IS GOD and he Has given us His word about the things He will do and give us in our lives. However, when we give it must be an act of faith and worship and should not be connected to our expectations of God.

If you can still tie and connect an open door or God's blessing to some seed you have sown, money you have given, help you have rendered or anything whatsoever on the face of this earth that you could have done to deserve or make this thing happen, you are only still scratching the surface of the things God is able to do in your life.

When God shows up, when He opens a door, when His hand is upon you, HAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA, your lips of clay or your heart of flesh will NEVER be able to utter or phantom that it happened because of something you did or something you may have done.

Lailai!

NEVER!

1 Corinthians 2:9
But as it is written:
“Eye has not seen, nor ear heard,
Nor have entered into the heart of man
The things which God has prepared for those who love Him.”

Isaiah 64:4
For since the beginning of the world
Men have not heard nor perceived by the ear,
Nor has the eye seen any God besides You,
Who acts for the one who waits for Him.

Ephesians 3:20
Now to Him who is able to do exceedingly abundantly above all that we ask or think, according to the power that works in us, to Him be glory in the church by Christ Jesus to all generations, forever and ever.
Amen.

Abundance: God's Financial Plan for Man.

God wants to do so much through us to the world. A lot of us have been blinded by our incomes and we are satisfied to have just enough to live comfortable or luxurious lives and have enough to support immediate family and friends. We find it difficult to comprehend that from an income of N150,000 (One hundred & fifty thousand naira), we can fund a project of helping the poor with N150,000,000 (One hundred & fifty million naira).
The average human mind assumes that even if he does not spend a dime out of his salary and keeps it all, he will have N1.8m in a year and it will take him over 83 working years (without spending on anything) to accumulate such funds so the possibility of a project that "little" is so big and seems impossible in his/her mind.

God's plan for man however is absolute abundance. God blessed man at creation and said to man, "be FRUITFUL, and MULTIPLY, and REPLENISH the earth, and SUBDUE it, and have DOMINION.............."

Often times, man gets stuck in the being FRUITFUL stage or doesn't even enter there at all.

I want us to expand our minds and see ourselves the way God sees us. God is able to do immeasurably more than we can ASK or even IMAGINE.

The very first step is to be FRUITFUL. You must begin with having an income. In this instance, I will use the N150k salary. Saving just 10% of that in 10 months will be N150k.
After saving aside N150k, next is to multiply. Even if you have a N50k income, you'll accumulate N150k if you set aside N5k monthly for 30 months.

Aim to double the N150k in a business cycle.

Your N150k in business cycles become:

1. N300k
2. N600k
3. N1.2m
4. N2.4m
5. N4.8m
6. N9.6m
7. N19.2m
8. N38.4m
9. N76.8m
10. N153.6m

You will exceed the N150m needed for the project in just 10 business cycles.

WARNING. Salary "ONLY" no fit do am ooo unless you are a part of the top management of a company collecting seven or eight digit wages.

It is when you provide goods and/or services that you're paid for by a number of people through a business that will get you there.

If your average annual income from a customer is N10,000, you need 15,000 customers to accumulate the N150m that you need.

If your average annual income is just N1,000, you need 150,000 customers. You can only achieve this kind of income through a business.

Keep in mind that the population of our country is well over 100 million. You don't need to be in competition with anyone, just start a business and MIND YOUR BUSINESS.

Start with the N150k that you have and all you need to double it to N300k is 15 or 150 customers as the case may be in the first business cycle. Repeat the process over the business cycles till you get to your destination. Continue till you get to N150billion and beyond.

You replenish the earth anytime God uses you as a channel of blessing so make up your mind to give and share as much as you decide to alomg the way.

Its possible and you dont have to quit your job to begin.

Start now and just start it as an experiment. You have absolutely nothing to lose.

That is the true essence of the sowing and reaping process.

THE HARVEST IS NOW.
