Topic: Key To Financial Abundance

Text:   "As it is written, He [the benevolent person]
scatters abroad; He gives to the poor; His deeds
of justice and goodness and kindness and
benevolence will go on and endure forever!"
(2 Corinthians 9:9 AMP)

The verse above uses a key word regarding
financial giving. The word is scatters. Farmers
know that they stand a better chance at reaping
a productive harvest when they have a lot of
seed in the ground as opposed to just a little.
There is a difference between planting a few
seeds and scattering seeds. Scattering speaks of
planting in lots of places. It is ongoing planting,
not just occasional. Throughout Second
Corinthians 9, Paul teaches the principle that in
order to be furnished with financial abundance
you must not just plant seed, you must scatter
seed (see 2 Cor. 9:9 AMP). You must be in the
habit of giving of your finances for the Gospel all
the time. The end result is that your seed will go
on forever. In other words, the harvest that
comes from your practice
of “scattering” becomes so large that it can’t
help but be ongoing! That is what the Bible
means when it says the plowman will overtake
the reaper (see Amos 9:13). The harvest
becomes so plentiful that you can barely get
more seed in the ground before a new crop is
coming in!
Look for places to keep scattering your financial
seed. In fact, sow a seed somewhere today!
Before long, your continual sowing will become
continual reaping!

PRAYER
Dear heavenly Father, help me build the habit of
being a continual giver. As a first step of faith
toward that, I plant a financial seed right now to
_________________. Let this seed bless them and
cause me to be furnished with abundance! In
Jesus’ Name, amen!
