If You have a need, You sow a seed.

Proverbs 11:24-2524 One man gives freely, yet gains even more; another withholds unduly, but comes to poverty. 25 A generous man will prosper; he who refreshes others will himself be refreshed.

2 Corinthians 9:6-8, 116 Remember this: Whoever sows sparinglywill also reap sparingly, and whoever sowsgenerously will also reap generously. 7 Each man should give what he has decided in his heart to give, not reluctantly or under compulsion, for God loves a cheerful giver.

THREE MINDSETS IN GIVING

1) THE BAG: NOT ENOUGH.

Hag 1:6 NKJV…You eat, but do not have enough;

You drink, but you are not filled with drink; You clothe yourselves, but no one is warm; And he who earns wages, earns wages to

put into a bag with holes.

2) THE BASKET: MORE THAN ENOUGH.

Deuteronomy 28:4-64 The fruit of your womb will be blessed, and the crops of your land and the young of your livestock…5 Your basket and your kneading trough will be blessed. 6 You will be blessed when you come in and blessed when you go out.

3) THE BARN: INFINITELY MORE THAN ENOUGH.

Deut 8:8 8 The Lord will send a blessing on your

barns and on everything you put your hand to...

HOW MUCH CAN GOD BLESS YOU WITH?

Luke 16:10-11 Whoever can be trusted with very little can also be trusted with much, and whoever is dishonest with very little will also be dishonest with much. 11 So if you have not been trustworthy in handling worldly wealth, who will trust you with true riches?

HONOR GOD IN YOUR WEALTH

Luke 12:16-19 16 And he told them this parable: "The ground of a certain rich man produced a good crop. 17 He thought to himself, 'What shall I do? I have no place to store my crops.' 18 "Then he said, 'This is what I'll do. I will tear down my barns and build bigger ones, and there I will store all my grain and my goods. 19 And I'll say to myself, "You have plenty of good things laid up for many years. Take life easy; eat, drink and be merry."

Luke 12:20-21“20 But God said to him, 'You fool! This very night your life will be demanded from you. Then who will get what you have prepared for yourself?' 21 "This is how it will be with anyone who stores up things for himselfbut is not rich toward God."
