2 Corinthians 9:6 But this I say: He who sows sparingly will also reap sparingly, and he who sows bountifully will also reap bountifully. If you were to go to the grocery store and try to buy two week’s supply of groceries for a family of six, with only twenty dollars would this be buying sparingly or bountifully? You would think that this would be very sparingly. If twenty dollars is considered sparingly at the grocery store, why do people think that they are sowing bountifully if they give twenty dollars in a church offering? It is still the same amount of money. In the eyes of God it would be considered planting bountifully if that was all you had, and you had been faithful in tithing. A farmer who plants seed must water it. A person who is directed by the Lord to give into some ministry, must water his seed as well. Your harvest for what you planted will come as you pray for the ministry you planted into.
