Give to Receive

“One gives freely, yet grows all the richer; another withholds what he should give, and only suffers want.” (Prov. 11:24 NIV)

God’s law is different

God’s “giving-to-receive” law doesn’t make sense from a human point of view; you’d think that the more you give away, the less you’d have. But God’s law about prospering is different than ours! In fact, it’s the very opposite.

You get the same

God’s law of prosperity is based on His law of “what you plant is what you get." It’s the same as seed planting; you get exactly what you plant every time. If you plant corn, you don’t get peas, carrots, or anything else, for that matter. And God doesn’t want you to be deceived about this fact!

“Do not be deceived, God is not mocked; for whatever a man sows, that he will also reap.” (Gal. 6:7 NKJV”

You get more

Another great principle about sowing and reaping is that you always get more than you plant. For instance, when you plant one kernel of corn, a plant will grow, containing many rows of corn. It's the same with giving.

“The point is this: whoever sows sparingly will also reap sparingly, and whoever sows bountifully will also reap bountifully.” (2 Cor. 9:8 ESV)

Therefore

“Whoever brings blessing will be enriched, and one who waters will himself be watered.” (Prov. 11:25 NIV 

“Give, and it will be given to you. Good measure, pressed down, shaken together, running over, will be put into your lap. For with the measure you use it will be measured back to you.” (Luke 6:38 ESV)
