Money Makeover

In the book of Matthew we read the story of the man going on a journey. For some reason

he decided to give his workers  some money. And we notice that to each was given according to his ability, only what he could handle.

Instinctively the first two people put their money to work and doubled it.

Much to the delight of their boss, who praise them and make them partners.

The principle is clear: they doubled what they received and the master was pleased.

This could be a principal for our abilities, our lives and our money, as this represent both original or acquired, natural or spiritual.

So this can mean your finances as well.

What if, when you receive money, you double it before spending or tithing or sowing?

Think how much more you can give if you doubled your money, keep the original capital and spend, sow and tithe from the interest!

You can then spend, sow and tithe indefinitely from that original capital!

(this does not mean that you are not free to tithe, give or spend of it in the first place or as the Holy Spirit leads you)

Prov 3 says honour the Lord with thy substance -meaning wealth/more than enough and your first fruits.

It is interesting to realise that first fruits in the old testament can have two meanings : hasty fruit and secondly a most important thing.

In the new testament the term first fruit is only used in the context of people being redeemed unto God (sacrifice unto God).

Matt 25; Prov 3
