4. The Law of Patience

Between the time of sowing and the time of harvesting, there is always a waiting period. A clever farmer will not sow the seed into the ground today and dig it up the next day. He waits until it is time to harvest the fruits. In between, he has to fertilise and water the seeds. (more…)

3. The Law Of Proportion

The seed of the harvest is determined by the size of the seed. Paul taught in 2 Corinthians 9:6,  “whoever sows sparingly will also reap sparingly and whoever sows generously will also reap generously…”

Therefore, if you sow the seeds of anger, you will reap the harvest of anger. The more seeds of anger you sow, the greater the harvest of anger and rage. If you sow the seeds of generosity, you will reap the harvest of generosity. Similarly, the more seeds of generosity you sow, the greater is the harvest of generosity. (more…)

2. The Law of Planting

In the Law of Planting, the farmer must plant the seed first into the ground otherwise there will be no harvest. The same applies in the law of financial abundance. There is an order and a sequence.

2 Corinthians 9:10-11, it says, “now he who supplies seed to the sower and bread for food will also supply and increase your store of seed and will enlarge the harvest of your righteousness.”

This is a promise from God that He will supply all our seeds (all our needs). Not only that, He will supply what is needed to grow the seeds. He will continue to increase the supply of seeds. The harvests will be plentiful for He is the one to enlarge the size of the harvests. (more…)

There are six laws of Abundance that the Bible talks about – the 6 Ps of Abundance.
1. The Law of Priority
2. The Law of Planting
3. The Law of Proportion
4. The Law of Patience
5. The Law of Prosperity
6. The Law of Purpose

1. The Law of Priority

Matthew 6:33 says, “But seek first his kingdom and his righteousness, and all these things will be given to you as well.”

The word “seek first” means there is a priority, there is an order. Jesus is not saying that material things are not important. He is not saying that we should forget about everything else, drop all things and just focus on the kingdom of God alone. What Jesus is saying here is we must put our priority right. The priority of seeking God and His righteousness must come first before all things, before men’s plans, or before material wealth. Discipleship demands us to put God first before all things including money and materials. (more…)

I do not know about you but there are times in my life where I wonder whether money is really important and the only source to my survival in this world, to move from one day to another, to pay for all my bills, to feed my family, and etc. There are times when I have to make some important decisions as to whether to forego all the potential of earning some big income over time loss with my family. Do I give all 10% of my income to tithing or use it for paying my expenses? I am sure God will understand if I don’t give my tithe this month. All these are questions that have rambled through my mind in the past until I found out what God has to say about money, tithing and the purpose they serve. Seek the truth and the truth shall set you free. May this article sow the truth and purpose of tithing beyond just giving back to God what He has given us in the first place. (more…)

The Value of the World

Romans 1:29-31; (NKJV) being filled with all unrighteousness, sexual immorality, wickedness, covetousness, maliciousness; full of envy, murder, strife, deceit, evil-mindedness; they are whisperers, backbiters, haters of God, violent, proud, boasters, inventors of evil things, disobedient to parents, undiscerning, untrustworthy, unloving, unforgiving, unmerciful.

2 Timothy 3:1-4; (NKJV) But know this, that in the last days perilous times will come: For men will be lovers of themselves, lovers of money, boasters, proud, blasphemers, disobedient to parents, unthankful, unholy, unloving, unforgiving, slanderers, without self-control, brutal, despisers of good, traitors, headstrong, haughty, lovers of pleasure rather than lovers of God.

When we do a comparison between the values of the Ten Commandments against the values of the world system, you will find that the world’s system teaches you the opposite from the word of God. Romans 1:29-31 says that those who do not build on the values of God, will be filled with all kinds of evilness.

Romans 1:29-31 and 2 Timothy 3:1-4 are descriptions of the values of the world. In 2 Timothy 3:1-4, Paul was talking about the Ten Commandments. When you break any of the Ten Commandments, you do not honour God. (more…)

Where do these ten values come from?

These ten values come from the Ten Commandments in Exodus 20:1-17 as mentioned earlier. Let make reference back to the ten values against the Ten Commandments.

Exodus 20:1-17

1. Exodus 20:1-3
Love the Lord thy God = the values of Loyalty

2. Exodus 20:4-6
Worship no other gods = the values of Commitment

3. Exodus 20:7
Not to take God’s name in vain = the values of Respect

Not to be presumptuous, proper honour

4. Exodus 20:8, 10-11
Honour the Sabbath day = the values of Accountability

The seventh day is the day that God has set aside for rest. It is during the Sabbath that you worship God, be connected back to God, reports to Him the events of the weeks and the things to come, and to hear from God what you should do in the coming six days. (more…)

7. Values of Faithfulness (Trustworthiness)
“Faithfulness is the cornerstone of one’s character” - Edwin Louis Cole

Luke 16:10, 12 - (NKJV) - He who is faithful in what is least is faithful also in much; and he who is unjust in what is least is unjust also in much. And if you have not been faithful in what is another man’s, who will give you what is your own?

1 Corinthians 4:2 - (NKJV) Moreover it is required in stewards that one be found faithful.

Faithful is our manna, especially to the things that belong to another man. If we are faithful in the little things, we will be faithful in much. Without faithfulness, there is nothing to build that will last. Be faithful in the things placed into your hands whether be it in submitting your works on time, not taking things from the office home for your personal use, be a good steward in your finances and, so forth. (more…)

4. Values of Accountability (Connectedness)
Accountability also means connecting to the person whom you report to. There are many times you give a person an assignment to do. This person can become so busy with the work that he forgets to go back to the person to report the status and what he had done. It is important to stay connected with the person who assigned you the work. Reason is simple. The more you work on the project, you may have great ideas but these ideas may not be what the boss wanted. This lack of regular communication and update with the boss can result in misunderstanding between the boss and you as well as frustrations where you may feel that your works and efforts are not appreciated. It is important to stay connected to the boss. (more…)

Values To Learn In Order To Build Ourselves Up To Last

1. Values of Loyalty
Loyalty is the quality of being firm in your friendship or support for someone or something. If we believe that there is only one God in this world, we will align ourselves to this one God. The same applies in your place of work. There are many companies that you can work for but for you to stay on in the same place will be greatly influenced by the leader of the company. If the CEO of the company has great visions for the company, the employees will align themselves towards the same visions. The vision of the CEO will become the vision of the employees, too. No matter what may happen, the visions and the direction remain. This is loyalty, being firm no matter how great the storm is. (more…)
