2 The sowing Principle - Glory Realm
Many people have written about the sowing principle and there are a lot said to people when they need to give offering and tithes but absolutely the last thing to do when you sow or give tithes is to do it out of obligation. This does not mean that it is not an obligation but the difference is thay you should not feel manipulated by greed or by guilt or by any other horrible influence when you give when people are telling to give. There are such a lot of ungodly principles associated with money that the world uses that unless we grab the critter by the tail and examine it we will never know the freedom and blessing that are ours in giving. Unless we start getting into action and clean out our sphere of faith we will land like a shipwreck on dry ground far away from the destination that we actually had in mind.
Money takes on the character and authority of the person in whose possession it is - it is send on a mission according to your heart and faith not according to the heart and faith of the person in front of you - if your money can be manipulated out of your pocket by someone else then you have not taken up your responsibility in finances yet.
The sowing principle is based on the mission that you set for your money - Jesus called the money that was coming out of the fish's mouth "tax money" and he knew where it was going. Jesus talked about the widow's mite as a powerful force, more powerful than what the rich people were giving. It was not because of the amount of money given, it was because of what was in the widow's heart.
Impotent money is money that you sow without any mission - manipulated out of you, given without choice, hardhearted unbelieving money, money on a mission for something else.
The sowing principle is based on money that is sown in a seed form send on a mission that is much greater than the present. Seed money is powerful - when sown in righteousness, sown not because of abundance but commitment to the task / vision, it is send by prayer and faith and with a great blessing. Seed money is the most powerful if it is sown into a magnificent vision that someone else is working on
.You can recognise the right time to sow is when you clearly recognise that this is something in which God is - not because someone says so but because God confirms this. You can also recognise it when God is telling you to give. The greatest motivation to give is not by obligation but by anointing.
People that need the money for a vision that they have may be panicky and feel desperate that is why it sometimes grieves when we feel obliged to give - there is no atmosphere of faith. Well your money would probably do as much as a wooden door stopper, it will only keep out the wolf for another day. But there is nothing that stop us from giving often and generously into an atmosphere of faith - this is where we will see thing happening that can only be called miraculous.
The best place to give in the service if it is about the vision is when the presence of the Lord and the anointing meet at the altar. Then you can truely give with faith an joy and the money that you place comes with a blessing and favour and the same blessing and favour return on you. Just like the widows mite God places much favour on that little piece of metal and as it is send towards the work of the Lord it opens the ears of heaven and the coffers of heaven to return things of favour and blessing.
Do you give to the Lord without expecting that He you mite and turn to look with favour on you, strething out His septre to make a way for you? Then you are living a defeated life for God says that only faith can please Him, not the money. As the Word says
Heb 11 But without faith it is impossible to please him: for he that cometh to God must believe that he is, and that he is a rewarder of them that diligently seek him.
Why would giving money be important when we are talking about the Glory Realm. Faith is important but also giving a gift that cost you for it opens for you a way to the King - it is not rich people's gifts, or the most talented people's talent that break open the realm of the spirit, but it is the generosity of faith and love. The true act of worship, like the costly anointing oil lavished on Jesus that created a whole realm of favour for us all.
The Glory Realm is the realm of favour!
