Matthew 6:20
But store up for yourselves treasures in heaven,where moths and rust do not destroy, and where thieves do not break in and steal.
Introduction:
-why are so few Christians reaping a financial harvest?
-why do many people have a poverty mindset?
To reap a financial harvest:
1. Know the benefits of investing in heaven.
a) we receive 'open hearts' results. Malachi 3:10 Proverbs 3:10
b) we reap the 2-fold harvest - now on earth, later in heaven Luke 18:30
a) give yourself wholly to GOD.
b) apportion to GOD first.
- your tithes and offering.
- move from tithers to givers.
c) plan for a financial harvest
i) sow financial seeds. Galatians 6:7
(GOD makes seeds grow. 1 Corinthians 3:6)
ii) sow abundantly, reap abundantly. 2 Corinthians 9:6
- sow to the harvest size, not from the last harvest size.
(Isaac. Genesis 26:12)
iii) sow to sow again for a continual harvest.
d) invest the rest
-put this money to work until I come... Luke 19:13
-crop care to prevent crop failure Matthew 13:7
