We Can Sow UP for DIVINE WEALTH!
By Larry Elder
Philippians Chapter 4:14-19 AMPC
14. But it was right and commendable and noble of you to contribute to my needs and to share my difficulties with me.
15. And you Philippians yourselves well know that in the early days of the Gospel ministry when I left Macedonia, no church (assembly) entered into a partnership with me and opened up [a debit and credit] account in giving and receiving except you only.
16. For even in Thessalonica you sent [me contributions] for my needs, not only once but a second time.
17. Not that I seek or am eager for [your] gift, but I do seek and am eager for the fruit which increases to your credit [the harvest of blessing that is accumulating to your account].
18. But I have [your full payment] and more; I have everything I need and am amply supplied, now that I have received from Epaphroditus the gifts you sent me. [They are the] fragrant odor of an offering and sacrifice which God welcomes and in which He delights.
19. And my God will liberally supply (fill to the full) your every need according to His riches in glory in Christ Jesus.
In Numbers Chapter 18, the Israelites tithed UP to the Levites! Then the Levites tithed UP to the Priests! In turn, the Priests then tithed UP to the High Priest! (Although the scriptures don’t tell us this, I guess that the High Priest, in turn, tithed UP to The Prophet who was Moses at the time.)
We must sow into the ANOINTING to gain supernatural wealth. This is GOD’S WAY INTO WEALTH!
For increased wealth, we must sow into an anointing that is larger or more longstanding than our own.
When we sow into an anointing HIGHER than our own, this authorizes Heaven to make us richer!
In 1 Kings Chapter 17, the starving widow of Zarephath sowed into the ministry of Elijah and survived an extended famine as a result. She sowed into the higher anointing and reaped the rewards!
In 2 Kings Chapter 4, a woman and her husband entered into a covenant relationship with Elijah’s successor, Elisha, by building him a motel room to stay in. They remodeled their home to make room for the man of God. Read where this woman PERCEIVED THE PROPHET, RECEIVED THE PROPHET, AND AS A RESULT. CONCEIVED THE PROPHETS REWARD!
2 Kings chapter 4:8-12
8. And it fell on a day, that Elisha passed to Shunem, where was a great woman; and she constrained him to eat bread. And so it was, that as oft as he passed by, he turned in thither to eat bread.
9 And she said unto her husband, Behold now, I perceive that this is a holy man of God, which passeth by us continually.
10 Let us make a little chamber, I pray thee, on the wall; and let us set for him there a bed, and a table, and a stool, and a candlestick: and it shall be, when he cometh to us, that he shall turn in thither.
11 And it fell on a day, that he came thither, and he turned into the chamber and lay there.
12 And he said to Gehazi his servant, Call this Shunammite. And when he had called her, she stood before him.
13 And he said unto him, Say now unto her, Behold, thou hast been careful for us with all this care; what is to be done for thee?
To the degree we honor and respect the anointed messengers whom God sends into our lives, only to that same measure may God prosper us; no more, no less!
Jesus taught us that our heart follows our wallet, not the other way around. Wherever our money goes, our heart goes, He taught.
Matthew chapter 6:21
21 For where your treasure is, there will your heart be also.
Luke chapter 12:34
34 For where your treasure is, there will your heart be also.
Therefore we should tithe UP to our spiritual father in the Lord if we want our hearts to remain loyal to the man of God. All pastors should tithe UP to the Apostle or Prophet to keep their hearts loyal to him. A pastor is assigned to the Apostle, NOT to the people. Tithing UP to him and not DOWN to the people will keep a pastor from becoming an-independent rebel at some point.
As we obey the Spirit and SOW INTO THE ANOINTING, we shall, over time, obtain
WEALTH… GOD’S WAY!
