Scatter More Seeds and Increase
“There is one who scatters, and increases yet more. There is one who withholds more than is appropriate, but gains poverty. The liberal soul shall be made fat. He who waters shall be watered also himself. People curse someone who withholds grain, but blessing will be on the head of him who sells it. He who diligently seeks good seeks favor, but he who searches after evil, it shall come to him. He who trusts in his riches will fall, but the righteous shall flourish as the green leaf.” (Proverbs 11:24-28 WEB)
In this world, there is a principle at work, and that is the principle of sowing and reaping: every seed sown and watered eventually produces a harvest.
“While the earth remains, seed time and harvest, and cold and heat, and summer and winter, and day and night will not cease.”” (Genesis 8:22 WEB)
When you give, that is an act of sowing, and it will have an immediate effect of blessing somebody, but it will also produce a harvest for you in due time.
The kind of harvest you reap depends on the type of seed you sow. If you sow a financial seed, you will receive a multiplied harvest of finances.
“Remember this: he who sows sparingly will also reap sparingly. He who sows bountifully will also reap bountifully. Let each man give according as he has determined in his heart; not grudgingly, or under compulsion; for God loves a cheerful giver. And God is able to make all grace abound to you, that you, always having all sufficiency in everything, may abound to every good work. As it is written, “He has scattered abroad, he has given to the poor. His righteousness remains forever.” Now may he who supplies seed to the sower and bread for food, supply and multiply your seed for sowing, and increase the fruits of your righteousness; you being enriched in everything to all liberality, which produces through us thanksgiving to God.” (2 Corinthians 9:6-11 WEB)
Those who sow generously will reap generously. The apostle Paul confirmed this and encouraged believers to give cheerfully knowing that their gifts go on to bless many people, produce thanksgiving to God, and also abounding grace to the giver.
If we constantly receive but do not give, it will breed the love of possessions, and be detrimental to our own well-being. Hoarding, stinginess, and a scarcity mindset will fester in a person who does not give.
When we step out in faith to worship Jesus through tithing our income and giving as led by the Holy Spirit, we sanctify our hearts from the love of money.
It also has the secondary effect of sowing financial seeds to produce a harvest in our future.
When we give, we are actively putting our trust in the Lord and not in riches. Whenever we give, we can pray for the Lord to multiply our seed for sowing.
As God increases your prosperity and enlarges your coast, get excited about being able to sow even more than before.
I once saw a quote by Mark Batterson, “When God blesses you financially, don’t raise your standard of living. Raise your standard of giving.” This is so succinct and wonderfully true. Covet the privilege of being able to give more.
Material possessions in this world are fun and nice comforts and privileges to have, but nothing beats the honor and joy of sowing into God’s kingdom, sponsoring the Gospel of Jesus Christ, and feeding those in need like widows and orphans, especially those in our household of faith. The rewards for these acts of righteousness will remain forever!

Escape All These Things
““So be careful, or your hearts will be loaded down with carousing, drunkenness, and cares of this life, and that day will come on you suddenly. For it will come like a snare on all those who dwell on the surface of all the earth. Therefore be watchful all the time, praying that you may be counted worthy to escape all these things that will happen, and to stand before the Son of Man.”” (Luke 21:34-36 WEB)
There will come a day where we will suddenly be transformed within the twinkling of an eye, and snatched up to meet Jesus in the air. It will happen all over the worldwide within a split second, and everyone left behind will have to deal with the ensuing chaos and confusion.
If that day catches you by surprise, it means that you were too focused on the cares of this life that you were actually surprised when the Rapture happened.
“NOOO! I have not completed ____ yet! I cannot leave now!” If anything fills that blank, it has probably replaced Jesus as the chief focus in your heart.
The Rapture will be like a snare to the unsuspecting unbelievers of the world, like when one steps on a pitfall trap and the whole structure simultaneously collapses under its weight.
However, to believers who are watching the end-times signs that point to the closeness of the Lord Jesus’ return, they will not be caught off guard. They will be like the watchful father in Jesus’ parable, who saw the son returning while he was still far off.
Notice how Jesus revealed that God’s will is for us to “escape all these things that will happen, and to stand before the Son of Man”?
Many Christians still don’t believe in a pre-Tribulation Rapture. They think that they will be going through the Tribulation. But we know that we will ESCAPE all these things. There will be a great escape to bring the saints safely to Heaven first, before the worst befalls the unbelieving world.
“Abraham came near, and said, “Will you consume the righteous with the wicked? What if there are fifty righteous within the city? Will you consume and not spare the place for the fifty righteous who are in it? Be it far from you to do things like that, to kill the righteous with the wicked, so that the righteous should be like the wicked. May that be far from you. Shouldn’t the Judge of all the earth do right?” Yahweh said, “If I find in Sodom fifty righteous within the city, then I will spare the whole place for their sake.”” (Genesis 18:23-26 WEB)
Abraham knew that God as a righteous Judge would not punish the righteous with the wicked. If there are any righteous ones in the world, the Tribulation and the following bowls, trumpets, and vials of God’s wrath would not begin. This is why there must be a pre-Tribulation Rapture, to remove the righteous ones before judgment begins.
God waited until Noah and his family entered the ark before sending the flood. He waited until Lot left the city before raining fire onto Sodom and Gomorrah. Finally, He made a distinction between the children of Israel and the children of Egypt during the plagues. Seeing these, we know that God will bring the saints to Heaven first before the Tribulation begins.
It could happen any time now. We see that the infrastructure of the Antichrist’s regime is almost in place. Look up, for your redemption draws near!

The four gospels are full of beautiful truths about God’s Grace and love towards us. By beholding Jesus Christ, we can know our Abba God. There are many misconceptions because of legalistic interpretations of the four gospels, and it has caused believers to be fearful, condemned, and they cannot enjoy the joy of their salvation.
If you enjoy the content that I post, you will enjoy my eBook bundle “Understand the Four Gospels Through the Lens of Grace”. It’s time to be freed from the bondage of wrong believing, and it’s time to rightly divide the word by the covenants: https://bit.ly/understandeveryparable

The Battle for your Focus
“Others are those who are sown among the thorns. These are those who have heard the word, and the cares of this age, and the deceitfulness of riches, and the lusts of other things entering in choke the word, and it becomes unfruitful. Those which were sown on the good ground are those who hear the word, and accept it, and bear fruit, some thirty times, some sixty times, and some one hundred times.” He said to them, “Is the lamp brought to be put under a basket or under a bed? Isn’t it put on a stand? For there is nothing hidden, except that it should be made known; neither was anything made secret, but that it should come to light. If any man has ears to hear, let him hear.”” (Mark 4:18-23 WEB)
There is a battle for your focus.
God wants you to prioritize receiving His word because it is for your own profit in all things.
The devil wants you to prioritize the lust of the eyes, lust of the flesh, and the pride of life because it is for his own benefit. If he has you focused on pointless things, then you will not advance God’s Kingdom.
There is only enough room for one “number one” in your heart. It is either God who is your master, or Mammon is [treated as] your master.
The one who you treat as your master will influence the kind of decisions you make on a daily basis.
When God is your master, you will do things that please Him. When Mammon is treated as your master, you will do what pleases your flesh, to gain more of what it is lusting after.
Lust is a bottomless pit—there is no such thing as contentment or being satisfied. The hunger only grows and the person feels just as empty after indulging the lusts.
God made you a “lamp”, the “light of the world” to cause those whose minds have been blinded by Satan to see the glorious light of the Gospel.
A lamp is not meant to be hidden under a basket or under a bed. When you are pursuing the cares of this age and deceitful riches, you will hide your light in order to fit in with the world, so that you can indulge your flesh.
You will say and do things in order to please men because you are afraid of what worldly benefits you will lose by offending them with the truth. You are afraid of talking about Jesus because you don’t want to offend people and you want them to ‘like’ you.
There are amazing eternal rewards to be won, so don’t let temporal things choke your faith and make you unfruitful. There is much more benefit in prioritizing God’s word. It keeps you young, makes you wise, banishes sickness, and energizes your faith to receive God’s superabounding grace in your life.
Besides these personal gains, you will also become easier for the Holy Spirit to lead, and that means God can touch
many other lives through you. Many people will be encouraged and strengthened to have faith in Jesus, and God’s kingdom will be expanded as the Gospel is sown in more receptive hearts.
There can only be lots of good outcomes for the one who loves to hear the word of God. The Scriptures are not just ordinary words. They are spirit and life. Let your heart be well-fed by spiritual feasts of God’s word every day!
The four gospels are beautiful because we can see our Lord Jesus clearly. Every word, parable, miracle, and action carries the fragrance of Heaven. Never let any wrong interpretations steal the joy of your salvation. Be sure to read my 4-eBook bundle, “Understand the Four Gospels Through the Lens of Grace”: https://bit.ly/understandeveryparable

Lyrics:
The First Noel the angel did say
Was to certain poor shepherds
in fields where they lay
In fields where they lay keeping their sheep
On a cold winter's night that was so deep
*Noel, Noel, Noel, Noel,
Born is the King of Israel
人人願聖誕節
在午夜唱吧
從來沒有懼怕
任雪再降下
盡情愉快的一刻
不需顧慮吧
耶誕節中乾杯
願此生牽掛
分享往事
觀看落霞
人人願聖誕節 在午夜唱吧 這一剎
Joy to the world, the Lord is come
Let earth receive her King
Let evert heart prepare him room
*And heaven and nature sing
