Your Seed and Biblical Economics (Part One)
Dr RJ Sing · 2 min read
“I have showed 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.”
When we give, our giving will produce receiving. Giving also raises the level of receiving. Anyone can receive, but being a giver puts us in a position where things can be multiplied. So then, a giver receives harvests that are multiplied.
Let us look at the story of the rich young ruler, as told in Mark’s Gospel, Chapter 10:17-21, *“And when he was gone forth into the way, there came one running, and kneeled to him, and asked him, Good Master, what shall I do that I may inherit eternal life? And Jesus said unto him, Why callest thou me good? [there is] none good but one, [that is], God. Thou knowest the commandments, Do not commit adultery, Do not kill, Do not steal, Do not bear false witness, Defraud not, Honour thy father and mother. And he answered and said unto him, Master, all these have I observed from my youth. Then Jesus beholding him loved him, and said unto him, One thing thou lackest: go thy way, sell whatsoever thou hast, and give to the poor, and thou shalt have treasure in heaven: and come, take up the cross, and follow me.”*
The rich young ruler could not adapt or submit to seedtime. This young rich ruler was a religious person. However, he did not want to get involved in Biblical Economics when challenged by Jesus. He went to Church and he kept the commandments, but Jesus knew that he was weak in the area of finances. Many Christians today are also weak in this area. Let this not be your position. Be strong in seedtime and harvest.
