Mark 8:3-5 (King James Version)
3And if I send them away fasting to their own houses, they will faint by the way: for divers of them came from far.
4And his disciples answered him, From whence can a man satisfy these men with bread here in the wilderness?
5And he asked them, How many loaves have ye? And they said, Seven.
The Law of Increase is the more that we give, the less we have, but the more we end up with. God can do more with less. The more we give, the less we will have, but we will end up with more than we gave. It is the same with our lives. The more we give of ourselves, with our time, talents, and treasures, the less we have of ourselves, the more God can do with us.
Too many Christians are so full of themselves that they have less of God. We must be sowers not just sow. Every one can sing, but there are some people who are singers. Christians should be regular sowers-givers.
On our job with our co-workers are we sowers sowing words of encouragement, buying them lunch, coming to work on time. Don't hold back on what you should give, if we do it will lead to poverty.
Jesus fed 5,000 people with 5 loaves of bread and ended up with 12 baskets left over. He ended up with more than what He had when He started. We will never lose what we give, but we are looking for increase.
Don't be afraid to allow God to do more with the less we have. Every one of us should become a sower, one who practices sowing on a regular basis.
God Bless,
Pastor Mark
