You have already taken the First Step toward walking in abundance, for you know it is what God intends for His children.
Once you know God desires abundance for you, you are ready to take the second step. Right now, form an effective Giving and Receiving Covenant with God.
Pray this Prayer out loud to the Lord.
Dear Lord, I sincerely desire to give an ever-increasing portion of wealth to you for the financing of your great End-Time Harvest. Today, I solelemnly pledge to become more involved in the spreading of the gospel by sowing money into the Kingdom of God. I will begin by giving R ............... (Weekly, Monthly) into your work, in addition to my Tithe.
Beginning today, by Faith, I am planting these Money-Seeds TO START YOUR FLOW OF ABUNDANCE IN MY LIFE. I promise that as you multiply a money harvest back to me, I wilL always reinvest a generous portion into the Gospel.
Thank You, Lord, for revealing these principles of Biblical Economics to me. I am now determined to unleashe these bold, new principles into my own life. I thank you now for your abundance which this positive action on my part will bring to pass soon. AMEN.
Now take that critical Third Step. Exercise the Covenant. Not only must you know God's principles of Biblical Economics, and make a covenant with God, you must faithfully exercise the covenant; You must now put these principles to work.
Begin giving today, and God will begin blessing and returning to you larger and larger amounts of wealth to liberally reinvest into the gospel ministry.
Give, and it shall be given unto you ... (Luke 6:38)
Give to your local church first, as it is the place God has chosen to feed you spiritually, and go one step further, in Sowing into Outreach Projects undertaken by your Pastor, and those God puts on your heart.
Always remember that your increase does not come from the specific ministry to which you give. You are really giving to God, and He has no limit on the way He will choose to give funds to you.
I PRAY THIS PRACTICAL APPROACH IS HELPING YOU STEP OUT IN FAITH, AND RECEIVE THAT WHICH GOD HAS ALREADY MADE AVAILABLE TO YOU!

Financial Freedom Series - Giving Always Results in Receiving.
Memorize this Title " GIVING ALWAYS RESULTS IN RECEIVING."
It is a vital principle of Biblical Economics. Giving always results in Receiving!
You have God's Word on it:
Give, and it shall be given unto you; good measure, pressed down, and shaken together, and running over, shall men give into your bosom. For with the same measure that you measure with, it shall be measured to you again. (Luke 6:38)
LOOK CLOSELY AT THESE KEY POINTS:
1. God promised to return your gift to you. He says you will receive a "Good Measure," literally "running over." God will bless you when you give to Him (You give to him, when you invest in the Gospel, in supporting your local church, and other outreach ministries).
2. God says your blessings will come from men who shall give to you. God uses people, and so He has no difficulty blessing you from unexpected places. The source God uses doesn't matter. What is important is that you understand this biblical principle; when you give, you will receive a return.
3. You will receive in the same measure that you give. Remember, the measure is not How much you give, but How much you give in proportion to your income (you can base it, on what you have left over).
This scripture does not promise that if you give five Rands or Dollars, you will receive five Rands or Dollars in return. It says if the five Rands or Dollars you gave is simply casual pocket money, you will not receive a very large return. You will receive the five Rands or Dollars back, but not in a great multiplied measure.
However, if that five Rands or Dollars are a very critical part of your remaining funds, a precious seed out of your limited remaining resources, it becomes a great measure in God's eyes, and you will receive a great measure in return from Him. Your gift will be greatly multiplied.
When you become a giver, you automaticlly move yourself into the realm of a receiver. There are no excemption to this rule. However, there are levels of receiving: "... Some thirty, and some sixty, and some an hundred [fold]" (Mark 4:8).
The measure you use in giving will determine the measure God will apply to you in receiving. No matter with what measure you give your gift, when you give to God, you will receive a return.
"Give, and it shall be given unto you ... " (Luke 6:38)
Remember: Be not deceived (don't be fooled); God is not mocked (He cannot be fooled); For whatsoever a man sows, that shall he also reap. ( Galatians 6:7)
Now you understand why the title of this lesson is so important. Do not forget it!
GIVING ALWAYS RESULTS IN RECEIVING!
I believe that this revelation is burning in your heart, and that God is moving on you through this Word to lead you out of Debt, Lack and Insufficiency! What you do, next, will determine the results you'll get in your finances. GIVE AND WILL BE GIVEN BACK TO YOU ... IN GOOD MEASURE, PRESSED DOWN, AND RUNNING OVER.
Be Blessed!

Financial Freedom Series - Can There Be Prosperity Without the Tithe?
God wants to Build an end-time temple, a holy habitation not made with hands. To do this He must have an end-time army of special saints to accomplish His vision. This truth became a revelation to me, after years of studying the Bible. It is totally based upon Scripture. God will give the responsibility of building His great end-time dwelling place to those who have proven themselves faithful in financial matters.
When King Josiah commissioned workers for the restoration of the temple, he gave the work to those craftsmen who had already proven themselves FAITHFUL IN THEIR FINANCIAL TRANSACTIONS.
2 Kings 22:5-7 And let them deliver it into the hand of the doers of the work ... To repair the breaches of the house,
Unto Carpenters, and builders, and masons, and to buy timber and hewn stone to repair the house. Howbeit there was no reckoning made with them of the money that was delivered into their hand, because they dealt FAITHFULLY.
God did not choose these men for the labor because they had PROMISED to be faithful. He chose them because they had already PROVEN THEMSELVES FAITHFUL.
When it came time for King Josiah to choose who would work in the great restoration of the temple. God told the king to select these men because they had an established record of DEALING FAITHFULLY IN THEIR FINANCES. God uses people who are faithful in their finances, and TITHING is part of that faithfulness.
Many times people have said to me, "Pastor Caly, when I get a large sum of money (such as an inheritance, or hit the Lotto, or some other get rich-quick scheme), I will then become a faithful Tither to the Lord."
That's not God's way! GOD REQUIRES THAT WE FIRST BE FAITHFUL IN THE LITTLE MATTERS, RIGHT IN THE MIDST OF OUR CURRENT CIRCUMSTANCES. Then He will grant us an abundance.
It was true in the Old and New Testaments, and it's true today.
Let's read what the ruler said to his faithful servant in the Parable of the Talents.
Mathew 25:23 His lord said to him, Well done, good and faithful servant; You have been faithful over a few things, I will make you ruler over many things; Enter into the joy of the Lord.
Remember what Jesus said to His disciples about Faithfulness.
Luke 16:10 He that is faithful in that which is least is faithful also in much; and he that is unjust in the least is unjust also in much.
If you want to be a part of the NEXT BIG MOVE OF GOD, don't just get your finances in order temporarily. Keep them in order from now on, and be faithful.
1 Corinthians 4:2 Moreover it is required (not just desired) in stewards, that a man be found faithful.
TITHING IS AT THE FOREFRONT OF YOUR FAITHFULNESS IN THE AREA OF FINANCES, WITHOUT IT, FINANCIAL FREEDOM AND PROSPERITY IN GOD, IS SIMPLY A FAR AWAY DREAM.
Show Him that you can be Trusted, and you'll see where He will take you!
