Luke 8:15
But that on the good ground are they, which in an
honest, and good heart, having heard the word, keep
it and, bring forth fruit with patience.
Giving, without relationship, with God, will not produce
abundant financial fruits in your finances . That
statement is so vital to your understanding that I want
to repeat it again: Giving, without relationship with
God, will not produce abundant financial fruits in your
finances .
Even if you follow all the famous formulas touted by
the "prosperity" preachers even if you tithe, even if
you give generous offerings -- that's not enough!
If your heart is not in union with God's heart , if your life
is not in relationship with God's Law, then you are
foolishly -planting financial fruit on non-productive
ground.
"But God said unto him, Thou fool, this night thy soul
shall be required of thee: then whose shall those
things be, which thou hast provided?
"So is he that layeth up treasure for himself, and is not
rich toward God.
Luke 12 v 20 & 21
Jesus is not interested in your wealth...
He is only interested in HOW YOU USE IT!
Here is why
In the story of the servants and the talents. The good
servant was rewarded not because he made his Lord
rich, but because he was faithful , and USED the
talents the master gave him.
Luke 19:17 NLT
Well done! the king exclaimed. You are a good
servant. You have been faithful with the little I
entrusted to you, so you will be governor of ten cities
as your reward.

Matthew 22:37, 40

37 Jesus said unto him, Thou shalt love the Lord thy
God with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with
all thy mind.
38 This is the first and great commandment.
39 And the second is like unto it, Thou shalt love thy
neighbor as thyself.
40 On these two commandments hang all the law and
the prophets.
Jesus commanded us to give our neighbors a position
"as thyself .
When you are squarely in God's will, then you will find
yourself starting to be as responsive, as caring about
the needs of others around you as you are to your own
family.
