God's Kingdom is about - We and ours, it is never about me and mine

Good morning dearest friends

In the Kingdom

Abundance is connected to how much you are willing to give - Give unto the Lord and give unto others

The blessings are connected to giving

Luke 6:38

38 Give, and it will be given to you: good measure, pressed down, shaken together, and running over will be put into your bosom. For with the same measure that you use, it will be measured back to you.”

Proverbs 11:24/25

24 There is one who scatters, yet increases more;

And there is one who withholds more than is right,

But it leads to poverty.

25 The generous soul will be made rich,

And he who waters will also be watered himself.

2 Corinthians 9

6 But this I say: He who sows sparingly will also reap sparingly, and he who sows [d]bountifully will also reap [e]bountifully. 7 So let each one give as he purposes in his heart, not grudgingly or of [f]necessity; for God loves a cheerful giver. 8 And God is able to make all grace abound toward you, that you, always having all sufficiency in all things, may have an abundance for every good work

Are you sowing sparingly in any area of your life - Finances, relationships any other area? Then perhaps that is why that area of your life is not fruitful.

All in the Kingdom is birthed from a seed.

A seed sown, a seed watered (by faith, obedience and the spoken word) a seed grown by God, bearing fruit in it's right time and season

The purpose of this message is to talk about the fruit we bear in the Kingdom not financial fruit....though the principles are similar

Dear friends

I am amazed about those people who say they know God and live only for themselves it is unnatural to truly have the Spirit of Christ within you and not want to give - give love, give of your time, give of your talent and give of your money. To care "profusely" for others.

The empowerment and anointing comes only to serve others and not yourself.

Individuals spend hours and hours they say listening to God but are never motivated to care for or about others. The purpose for resting, for listening and empowerment ultimately is to be effective in accomplishing your assignment here on this earth and not living for oneself only.

Remember after the Pentecost experience - the visitation and filling of the Holy Spirit (which we each can have if we ask God) the disciples became Apostles - they were now SENT by God to be effective witnesses. They did the work of building the Kingdom and they fervently did so, serving others.

When one becomes filled with the Holy Spirit, your desires change and you become passionate about the things of God's heart - Loving and serving others.

The Kingdom is not I and me and them (seperating oneself from others as much as possible)

The Kingdom is about We, our (our Father in the model prayer) and think carefully on this. We become a part of the body of Christ. We are grafted in to function in dynamism and harmonize.

So if, just if you are only praying for yourselves and immediate family and you have been in the Body of Christ many many years, then ask God to show you truth, because my dear friend you have missed the voice of God.

I pray today we will all recognize the season and times we are in. God is calling you to do his work and for all who are willing to go - you will be empowered.

Thank you Lord for giving us such a zeal to build the Kingdom and serve others today and everyday

Walk good in Christ

Till we meet again
