11 Corinthians 96 Remember this: Whoever sows sparingly will also reap sparingly, and whoever sows generously will also reap generously. 7 Each of you should give what you have decided in your heart to give, not reluctantly or under

compulsion, for God loves a cheerful giver. 8 And God is able to bless you abundantly, so that in all things at all times,

having all that you need, you will abound in every good work. 9 As it is written: “They have freely scattered their gifts to the poor;  their righteousness endures forever.“

10 Now he who supplies seed to the sower and bread for food will also supply and increase your store of seed and will enlarge the harvest of your righteousness. 11 You will be

enriched in every way so that you can be generous on every occasion, and through us your generosity will result in

thanksgiving to God...

•What Does the text Says?•Sowing Our Seed

•You cannot hold on to anything good. You must release them. You cannot hold on to your

seed. You must sow it - and reap a new. You cannot hold on to riches. You must use them and

get other riches in return. Robert Collier 

•“If we can just let go and trust that things will work out the way they're supposed to, without trying to control the outcome, then we can

begin to enjoy the moment more fully. ― Goldie Hawn

What is the message of God From this text?

VV 6 Remember this: Whoever sows sparingly will also reap sparingly, and whoever sows generously will also reap generously. 7 Each of you should give what you

have decided in your heart to give, not reluctantly or under compulsion, for God loves a cheerful giver.

Pattern {sample, model, guide}.

A; Sow your seed sparingly- it means we need to plant our seed continuously { just imagine if a farmer will plant

just once a year, what will happen}?

B; Sow your seed Generously- it means we need to sow our seed from our heart

Page 6: Sowing our seed in the kingdom

C; Sow your seed from your heart- the people of Israel was failed when they arrived at the land of

Canaan. They love riches more than God who brought them out from Egypt.

1 Tim; 6;10 Darby Bible TranslationFor the love of money is the root of every evil; which

some having aspired after, have wandered from the faith, and pierced themselves with many sorrows.

D; sow your seed cheerfully- why? Matthew 6:19-21

19 “Do not store up for yourselves treasures on earth, where moths and vermin destroy, and where

thieves break in and steal. 20 But store up for yourselves treasures in heaven, where moths and rats do not

destroy, and where thieves do not break in and steal. 21 For where your treasure is, there your heart will

be also.

need, you will abound in every good work. 9 As it is written: “They have freely scattered their gifts to the

poor;  their righteousness endures forever.“ 10 Now He who supplies seed to the Sower and bread for food will also supply and increase your store of seed and

will enlarge the harvest of your righteousness. A; Because he Know that God is able to bless you

B; Because he know that God will supply the seed

What is the meaning of the seed?-this means our capital- The idea is, that when a man scatters seed in his field God provides him

with the means of sowing again. He not only gives him a harvest to supply his needs, but he blesses him also in giving him the ability to sow

again. C; Because he know that God will supply Bread to the sower before the Harvest- What does it mean? It means that our God is

good not only during harvest season D; Because he know that God will multiply

the seed- From one piece of corn into thousands after the harvest.. This is God’s formula.
