You will never be poor as long as you have seeds to sow!

As our church was in the midst of expansion, Ps Gloria announced over the pulpit that our church opened for people to give for the renovation. Before that, Ps Monica shared to us who are in full time ministry that in order for us to have just enough to spend in renovation, averagely each church members need to give atleast Rm500, and I was moved. I told God that I'm going to give RM500 for the renovation. When I prayed, I mentioned to God for the fact that I didn't have extra to sow (not even RM100), and I asked Him to give me seeds to sow (Isaiah 50:10), and in my heart I just leaned myself on Him. I prayed this prayer during one of the Sunday Praise Celebration. And at the end of the PC, Ps Monica passed me an envelope and told me someone gave me love gift, and I was shocked! God answers our prayer so quickly! And I found RM50 inside the envelope. I thanked God, and I know this is just a begining, another RM450 to go.

I sowed it into the renovation fund during the following Sunday PC. And about one day after the Sunday that I sowed, some body gave me RM50, and I was shocked. I asked the guy who gave, "Did you owe me RM50?" "No." "Why did you give me RM50 then?" "Just feel like wanna bless you." And I shocked again and excited. I told that guy that this RM50 wass part of my answered prayer. I thanked God, and I was full with expectance. I told God another RM400 to go.

On the following Sunday, during the PC, I sowed this 2nd RM50 into the renovation fund with joy. And something crazy happened. At the end of that PC, again Ps Monica gave me an envelope and she said someone gave me love gift. I opened the envelope and I couldn't breath for about 10 seconds, I found RM400 inside!!! God is a God who sees and provides! I gave thanks!

In bible, God reveals to us that we will reap as we sow. We can never be poor as long as we have seeds to sow, because the more we give the more we receive!! There's no way we can outgive God, hahaha!!
