Luke 6:31 NIV Do to others as you would have them do to you.

withholds unduly, but comes to poverty. A generous person will prosper; whoever
refreshes others will be refreshed.
Turn your Need into Seed.
1 Kings 17:7-16 Eventually the brook dried up because of the drought. Then GOD
spoke to him: “Get up and go to Zarephath in Sidon and live there. I’ve instructed
a woman who lives there, a widow, to feed you.” 10-11 So he got up and went to
Zarephath. As he came to the entrance of the village he met a woman, a widow,
gathering firewood. He asked her, “Please, would you bring me a little water in a
jug? I need a drink.” As she went to get it, he called out, “And while you’re at it,
would you bring me something to eat?” 12 She said, “I swear, as surely as your
GOD lives, I don’t have so much as a biscuit. I have a handful of flour in a jar and a
little oil in a bottle; you found me scratching together just enough firewood to
make a last meal for my son and me. After we eat it, we’ll die.” 13-14 Elijah said
to her, “Don’t worry about a thing. Go ahead and do what you’ve said. But first
make a small biscuit for me and bring it back here. Then go ahead and make a
meal from what’s left for you and your son. This is the word of the GOD of Israel:
‘The jar of flour will not run out and the bottle of oil will not become empty before
GOD sends rain on the land and ends this drought.’” 15-16 And she went right off
and did it, did just as Elijah asked. And it turned out as he said—daily food for her
and her family. The jar of meal didn’t run out and the bottle of oil didn’t become
empty: GOD’s promise fulfilled to the letter, exactly as Elijah had delivered it!
God asks for what you are holding, not what you are missing.
Your need is not just something to survive, it’s something to sow.
Proverbs 18: 20-21 NIV From the fruit of their mouth a person’s stomach is filled;
with the harvest of their lips they are satisfied. The tongue has the power of life
and death, and those who love it will eat its fruit.
If You want to change the satisfaction of your life, change the declaration of
your lips.
Luke 6:45b NIV For the mouth speaks what the heart is full of.
Trust God’s timing - Don’t give up!
Galatians 6:9 So let’s not get tired of doing what is good. At just the right time we
will reap a harvest of blessing if we don’t give up.
