Now may He who supplies seed to the sower, and bread for food, supply and multiply the seed you have sown and increase the fruits of your righteousness.  2 Corinthians 9.10

It’s impossible not to love the Lord according to His definition of love, because when we accept His invitation to do the work, we receive the seed that is to be planted. What’s more, He promises to give us the bread we need – His Word. He is so involved with us that we can only see it by believing, because everything is by faith. What we do to spread the Gospel throughout the world is indescribable. Everywhere, countless people convert to Christ!

Often, the divine call surprises us and we don’t even imagine that we can help evangelize our generation. However, when we listen to God’s voice, even if we don’t know how we’re going to respond to it, His power comes into play and we soon see in our hands the amount we’re going to give as an offering. By obeying His command to Go, our lives change, problems disappear, doors open, bringing us joy (Revelation 3:8).

No one should take on the ministry of sponsor out of personal interest, as if it were something magical. Those who are truly touched by God know how much they have to give and are guided by the Lord himself, who blesses them in a great way. We don’t say this to arouse greed in anyone. But remember: only those who have His commandments and keep them love God (John 14:21). When a person obeys the Lord when it comes to the offering, He rejoices.

By saying that He gives the seed, the Most High guarantees that we will take our offering from something that He has prevented us from spending, such as an illness or material loss. The Lord is looking for people who trust in the Name of Jesus to overcome the forces of darkness, as David did with the giant: [...] You come to me with a sword, with a spear, and with a javelin. But I come to you in the name of the LORD of hosts, the God of the armies of Israel, whom you have defied (1 Samuel 17.45).

The Bread signifies the revelations of the Word addressed to you and gives you the power to break down obstacles. When you eat it, nothing will stand before your life. Thus God said to Joshua: No man shall be able to stand before you all days of your life; as I was with Moses, so I will be with you; I will not leave you nor forsake you (Joshua 1.5). Trust the One who has always fulfilled His words. The Lord fulfills it!

The Almighty extends His promise and multiplies the sowing of the blesser. God’s hand will never shrink, nor will his arm become so short that it cannot save you. Those who trust in the Lord remain unshaken in the face of the worst evils sent by Hell, trying to take them away from their happiness in Christ (Psalm 125.1). These attacks only hit those who doubt God. Believe and live!

The best comes now: the Lord of lords guarantees that the fruits of our righteousness will be multiplied. This is more than anyone could ask for, because it means that they will see divine greatness at work on their behalf. Why fear or disregard being next to the Master? He has already provided everything you need to be happy and successful!

In Christ, with love,
