ACHIEVE MORE WITH LESS.

But without faith it is impossible to please him:for he that cometh to God must believe that he is, and that he is a rewarder of them that diligently seek him. Hebrews 11:6

I have always been asked this question on covenant giving. After giving the tax, tithe or tenth, offerings and sacrifice, what is left for the son of man to live on.

My answer is that faith is a must for covenant giving. Faith is the principal tool for the activation of covenant blessings. If your faith is not alive your giving is a waste of resources. Giving reduces your bottom line to increase your faith. I achieve more with less, but they achieve less with more; think about it

Waste is synonymous with having more but blessing is on the little. God is a rewarder, your giving delivers from waste and attracts the blessing.

“And when Abram was ninety years old and nine, the Lord appeared to Abram, and said unto him, I am the Almighty God; walk before me, and be thou perfect. And I will make my covenant between me and thee, and will multiply thee exceedingly.” Genesis 17:1-2.

I had to do a project recently, and at every phase I noticed that I achieved the task with less or even half of the budgeted amount.

Trusting God does not necessarily mean having more but achieving more for less. While some people see the deficits and deficiency in their resources, the task is still archived with less. God is more than enough when you walk by faith in him. Those that have their eyes on the reward have more than enough.

Blessing is the power to increase, multiply, flourish, be nourished & be an envy. Your substance may not increase and multiply, but your results are beyond your resources. God does not double resources, he blesses your endeavors.

Still worried about having less after legitimate covenant giving? Have faith in God! You can achieve more with less.

“But thou shalt remember the Lord thy God: for it is he that giveth thee power to get wealth, that he may establish his covenant which he sware unto thy fathers, as it is this day.” Deuteronomy 8:18.

Prayer; My father and God, now I know that you’re more than enough for me. You’re a rewarder, not a money doubler. I key into the covenant of blessings by my giving to achieve more with less in Jesus name.

HUNDREDFOLD RETURNS

Then Isaac sowed in that land, and received in the same year an hundredfold: and the Lord blessed him. And the man waxed great, and went forward, and grew until he became very great: For he had possession of flocks, and possession of herds, and great store of servants:and the Philistines envied him. Genesis 26:12-14.

Gold has the same value in every nation under heaven. Mediocrity has the same worth in every nation under heaven. The seed of Abraham is destined for distinction in all nations of the world.

I see marks of mediocrity celebrated as evidence of excellence. Excellence knows no race, nationality, tribe or ethnicity and state of origin. If your virtue is qualified by these factors, your worth is in question.

You’re not in lack because you’re black but lack of ignorance of the covenant. There is a seed for every need under heaven, a worth for every virtue. When the price is paid, the goods are delivered.

Giving is the irrevocable price of abundance under the covenant.

“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 withal it shall be measured to you again.” Luke 6:38.

Giving is the covenant path to your land of abundance under heaven. A portion or measure of your substance must become seeds for giving. Isaac sowed in the land, Jesus commanded that we give measured seed.

Giving is not accidental or incidental but premeditated. Giving does not help God but helps the giver to access the blessing. While some are living off their earning some are harvesting the blessing. No bank nor investment grants a hundred fold return on deposits.

Covenant giving begins with tithe, then offerings and sacrifice. Covenant giving guarantees a hundred fold return anywhere or everywhere. Good measure pressed down, shaken together and running over is not a guess but guaranteed .Let’s do business with God!

Giving makes the blessing sure and removes the element of chance. One year turnaround time for you from the God of Isaac.

“The Lord hear thee in the day of trouble; the name of the God of Jacob defend thee; Send thee help from the sanctuary, and strengthen thee out of Zion; Remember all thy offerings, and accept thy burnt sacrifice; Selah.” Psalms 20:1-3.

Prayer; I thank you lord for the covenant, hundredfold returns is guaranteed.

Remember my tithes, offerings and sacrifice for guaranteed returns in Jesus name.

BLESSED FOR ENVY

Then Isaac sowed in that land, and received in the same year an hundredfold:and the Lord blessed him. And the man waxed great, and went forward, and grew until he became very great: For he had possession of flocks, and possession of herds, and great store of servants:and the Philistines envied him. Genesis 26:12-14.

I have a relative; a graduate working in the corporate environment who did danfo business in Lagos. This was way back then when guys were hustling for white collar jobs. Don’t ask me how he did it?  Some graduates had chains of danfo while driving or being the conductor to one of them.

Your certificate may be your own undoing if it is the prescription for your employment restriction.

God is interested in your work, idleness is not allowed in the kingdom. Only those that work are expected to be blessed those that work not must not eat. The blessing is on the work! Not on your certificate. You are permitted to do anything except stealing or any other illegal business.

“The Lord shall open unto thee his good treasure, the heaven to give the rain unto thy land in his season, and to bless all the work of thine hand: and thou shalt lend unto many nations, and thou shalt not borrow.” Deuteronomy 28:12.

Begging or borrowing is not an option; work is different from a job. Work is what you create for yourself, job is what you’re given to do. When my job ends, my work starts or begin. So many are stranded in life because they only do jobs but not work. A job is directed by your employers, work is self directed. I have too many work than I can handle and employ people to help out. Yet I have a regular job to do at the same time.

If you’re not working it’s your fault; your not entitled to eating. If your life revolves around a job, that is the definition of laziness or indolence. Those that work bring more to the job they do. They are usually managers and directors.

God blesses the work of your hands, not the job that you do. Work is your pathway to be envied, not a job; work gives access to blessings.

“I have coveted no man’s silver, or gold, or apparel. Yea, ye yourselves know, that these hands have ministered unto my necessities, and to them that were with me. I have shewed you all things, how that so labouring ye ought to support the weak, and to remember the words of the Lord Jesus, how he said, It is more blessed to give than to receive.” Acts 20:33-35.

Prayer: My God have commanded me to work, not just to have a job. I realize that even being jobless is no reason to be idle. Thank you for that understanding. May the work of my hands be blessed in Jesus name.

GIVING LACK AWAY.

The Lord shall open unto thee his good treasure, the heaven to give the rain unto thy land in his season, and to bless all the work of thine hand:and thou shalt lend unto many nations, and thou shalt not borrow. Deuteronomy 28:12.

One of the reasons that many go into debt is waste. Someone succinctly putting it that waste is the younger sibling of debt.

Recently someone took a look at my car and wondered. He felt that the car was not fitting for my status and stature. He felt that I could walk into my bank sign a few papers get a car loan and pick any posh car of my choice. I thanked him for his suggestion and flatly declined the offer. He was shocked and informed me that this is the easiest thing people like me do. A steady job and salary is all it takes to be eligible.

I told him that I am the seed of Abraham and cannot borrow; he was shocked the more. Those that lend to nations cannot borrow to eat; I live my level per time. The blessing determine my level per time, not my earnings.

“Train up a child in the way he should go: and when he is old, he will not depart from it. The rich ruleth over the poor, and the borrower is servant to the lender”. Proverbs 22:6-7.

It’s interesting that borrowing or credit is the life style of many. They take a loan for everything; car loan, school fees loan, house rent loan and the like. Why should you need a loan to pay school fees, and live in a rented house? Maybe you need a change of apartments or school to an affordable one.

When cars, living apartments, schools attended by your kids is above your means, you’re a waster. A wasteful lifestyle eats tomorrow today and continues the vicious cycle of debt; he that borrows, always go sorrowing. God is not a waster; redemption delivers from the spirit of waste to contentment. Debt depress, credit corrupt appetite or cravings for things.

Givers never lack, beggars never have; lack is the proof that your seed or giving is not enough.

Your seed is the ticket to the blessing that meet your needs.

“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 withal it shall be measured to you again.” Luke 6:38.

Prayer: My father, you’re a giver not a waster. May the same grace be manifest in my life to live on your blessings not on my future earnings in Jesus name.
