Morning with Ebenezer

SCATTERING ABROAD

Some people give much but get back even more. Others don’t give what they should and end up poor.Whoever gives to others will get richer [or blesses others will be refreshed]; those who help [satisfy] others will themselves be helped[satisfied]. People curse those who keep all the grain, but they bless the one who is willing to sell it.

Proverbs 11:24-26 EXB 

When young men or woman chooses someone to get marry with, most of the important questions which most of them ask themselves is, if that person is stingy[mean, penny-pinching] or not. There are those people who were taught that if you want to succeed in life, you need to focus on you and you alone before thinking about anyone else. They had, ''it's all about me'' mentality and as the result when they grew up, they had no room to share what they have with others.

In New King James Version, the Bible says, ''There is one who scatters, yet increases more. In other words we can say, this is a person who gives freely, but he find himself getting more. But there is another person who don't give what they should and end up poor. This shows that the more we give, the more room we create to receive and the more we withhold more than is right, we leave no room to receive anything.

You may be asking yourself why there are some areas in your life, where you see no increase. You have been praying for God to increase your finances, pay check and even a closet; but the heavens seem to be like a brass. But still there are some people who don't have education, opportunity and position which you have, yet they have prospered more than you in many areas of life.

This morning, God wants you to learn the formula of generously scattering abroad. God wants you to learn to give things to people, that you may given also. God wants you to learn to cast your bread upon the waters, that you may see it after many days [Do good wherever you go. After a while, the good you do will come back to you]. To learn to plant your seed in the morning, and don't stop until evening, because you don’t know if this or that will succeed. They might both do well.[ Luke 6:38, Ecclesiastes 11:1-6]

Some prayers about your finances will be answered immediately when you start giving your money for the Gospel and to help those who are in need. You will be able to get a man or woman of your dreams if you will stop being a stingy person. No man or woman wants to be married with someone having ''it's all about me mentality''. In the mean time you won't able to get into another dimension of blessing in your life, if you will not seed yourself out of it.
