So the next day - my 21st birthday - my grandma gave me a cash gift (don't you just love those?) which is TEN TIMES the amount of what I put into that box! Praise Jesus!
And yesterday, right before I left for San Diego, my dad also gave me some living expenses which is ALSO TEN TIMES the amount of what I tithed!
And it wasn't until I was driving down to SD that I remembered God's promise on being abundant financially and lacking nothing! And I was just praising the Lord and thanking Him for who He is and His more-than-enough provision and His never-ending faithfulness! In just three days, I received TWENTY TIMES MORE than what I gave out!
I spent a good time with Biblical Keys to Financial Prosperity (one of SOD's required books) and I am loving every promise of the Lord because those are for me!
And just now I received an email from my school telling me that a refund of my financial aid has been issued to my bank account. I always get my financial aid refund at the beginning of the quarters, but somehow my school decided to give me a little extra! And the amount is EXACTLY the amount I gave on Friday!
So, I better start taking this prosperity thing seriously, cause God has shown me that He is darn serious about making us prosper through providing me TWENTY-ONE (I like this number since I'm 21 now!) times back in a matter of FOUR DAYS! Now I shall tithe again this week and believe that God will multiply what I sow, and I will receive prosperity through Honoring the Lord with my finance! And as I was thinking about it, the Holy Spirit told me to, from now on, not only tithe but also save another 10% for my mission trip to Cambodia this summer!
Alright, I'm gonna do this! God is good =D
Here are two of the many promises in financial abundance from the Lord:
Give, and it will be given to you.
A good measure,
pressed down, shaken together and running over,
will be poured into your lap.
For with the measure you use,
it will be measured to you.
-Luke 6:38-
A good measure,
pressed down, shaken together and running over,
will be poured into your lap.
For with the measure you use,
it will be measured to you.
-Luke 6:38-
Bring the whole tithe into the storehouse,
that there may be food in my house.
Test me in this," says the LORD Almighty,
"and see if I will not throw open the floodgates of heaven
and pour out so much blessing
that you will not have room enough for it.
-Malachi 3:10-
Favor of God + Favor of Men = Unstoppable
