This is how the Lord Multiplies Your Seed Sown

What Was Taught

"You cannot out-give the Lord." - Anonymous

Over the past few years the subject of financial prosperity has been one of the most popular pulpit topics; however, it has also been one of the most poorly taught. Simply put, many in the pulpit have sent forth a massive wave of prosperity teachings that are all premised upon the Lord’s faithfulness to multiply your financial offerings to him.

In short, the basic premise of the prosperity message is that your financial giving of tithes and offerings are types of financial seed that you sow to the Lord, and that he is faithful to multiply your seed back to you. Subsequently, once you place your faith upon the faithfulness of the Lord then your results are guaranteed, simply because God is faithful and cannot lie; therefore, he will prove himself to you in accordance to your faith.

As such, this prosperity message revolves around several scripture passages, these being:

"While the earth remaineth, seedtime and harvest, and cold and heat, and summer and winter, and day and night shall not cease." (Genesis 8:22)

“Bring ye all the tithes into the store house, that there may be meat in mine house, and prove me now herewith, saith the Lord of hosts, if I will not open you the windows of heaven, and pour you out a blessing, that there shall not be room enough to receive it.” (Malachi 3:10)

"But seek ye first the kingdom of God, and his righteousness; and all these things shall be added unto you." (Matthew 6:33)

"Give and it shall be given unto you; good measure pressed down, and shaken together, and running over, shall men give into your bosom. For with the same measure that ye mete with all it shall be measured to you again." (Luke 6:38)

“Now he that ministereth seed to the sower both minister bread for your food, and multiply your seed sown, and increase the fruits of your righteousness.” (2 Corinthians 9:10)

“Be not deceived; God is not mocked: for whatsoever a man soweth, that shall he also reap.” (Galatians 6:7)

“And let us not be weary in well doing: for in due season we shall reap, if we faint not.” (Galatians 6:9)

Granted, other scripture passages have been used as well, however, these particular passages are generally the most often cited. Truth be told, these passages are in fact 100 percent truth, however, in the context of financial prosperity they have also been misunderstood, and/or misinterpreted as well; which in turn has made the prosperity message far too shallow in its reasoning.

For instance, many have taught that if you sow money as a seed offering to the Lord that you will reap money simply because Galatians 6:7 reads, "whatsoever a man soweth, that shall he also reap." However, as you will soon see, there is another scripture passage that completely contradicts this, and subsequently reveals that you WILL NOT literally reap what you sow, but rather figuratively you will; as all interpretations need to be properly balanced.

Consequently, the purpose of this writing is to bring a depth of understanding to the topic of Biblical financial prosperity through the reexamination and clarification of numerous verses that have not been properly interpreted; which all leads me to this one point:

During the course of my studies I sought the answer to one simple question that I couldn't get anyone else to give me an intelligent answer to, how does the Lord multiply your seed sown?

Obviously, you'd think that this one simple question would have been what all of those other teachings would have revolved around. Unfortunately, however, those other messages all revolved around the faithfulness of the Lord to perform that which he had "promised," simply because those ministers did not know how the Lord multiplies the seed sown.

Of a truth, whenever I sought the answer concerning how the Lord multiplies the seed sown, all I ever heard in response was, "By faith"; with minister after minister proclaiming, "Just believe that what God said he would do, that he will do it, because that is what faith in God is all about."

In fact, I had also heard it taught by many that, in essence, "Just as the Lord had given the Promised Land to the children of Israel, so too will he give to you that which he has promised as well." Unfortunately, they had failed to expound upon the fact that the Lord had given the Promised Land to the children of Israel "little-by-little" through war, and many lost their lives in those battles.

Granted, it took be a very long time to figure it out; however, let me assure you beforehand that this entire writing revolves around one theme, how the Lord multiplies your financial seed sown. Regrettably, and in all honesty, it does not occur by faith!

Subsequently, the Lord multiplies your seed sown through the fruit that you produce, because the fruit is the converter, it is that which your seed sown is multiplied through. In fact, you produce your fruit as you learn how to simultaneously walk in the spirit of your past, present and future; or, in other words, as you learn how to simultaneously walk by grace through faith with hope.

As such, during your journey to produce some type of financial fruit you will encounter "types of war" upon the battlefields of trade, and you must be strong and of good courage in order to successfully navigate your way through them.

Now, with that said, the financial harvest that so many have desired to see manifested has been withheld from them simply because they have failed to develop to fruition the necessary fruits through which that harvest can be manifested. In fact, the reason they've failed to develop the necessary fruits is simply because that is not what those tele-evangelists had taught.

In short, and in a rather shallow level of reasoning, they had taught that when you're in faith (having been faithful to sow seed, and "water your seed" with your confession of calling those things that be not as though they were), then the grace of God would work supernaturally on your behalf to bring forth the manifestation of your desires.

Unfortunately, however, this line of reasoning is in error simply because the concept of grace HAS NOT BEEN PROPERLY DEFINED; and because of that it is thoroughly impossible to manifest anything by faith, as all things are manifested as you walk by grace through faith with hope.

Now, in conjunction with what I've just written, because the "seed sowing" message had been wrongly taught in this manner, the pulpit has unintentionally created a bunch of Simons in the church (Acts 8); this being men and women of God who have attempted to buy their desires from the Lord with money in the disguise of seed.
