05.28.23 Giving out of the True Inheritance
(Luk 12:13-14 NKJV)  Then one from the crowd said to Him, "Teacher, tell my brother to divide the inheritance with me."  But He said to him, "Man, who made Me a judge or an arbitrator over you?"
(Luk 12:15 NKJV)  And He said to them, "Take heed and beware of covetousness, for one's life does not consist in the abundance of the things he possesses."
Covetousness will prevent overflow from coming out of your heart! And rob you of your blessing.  
(Luk 12:1617 NKJV)  Then He spoke a parable to them, saying: "The ground of a certain rich man yielded plentifully.   And he thought within himself, saying, 'What shall I do, since I have no room to store my crops?'
(Luk 12:18-19 NKJV)  So he said, 'I will do this: I will pull down my barns and build greater, and there I will store all my crops and my goods.  And I will say to my soul, "Soul, you have many goods laid up for many years; take your ease; eat, drink, and be merry." '
(Luk 12:20-21 NKJV)  But God said to him, 'Fool! This night your soul will be required of you; then whose will those things be which you have provided?'   "So is he who lays up treasure for himself, and is not rich toward God."
How many people withhold their treasure from the Lord? God promised HE will provide everything you need in life and godliness as you continue to give! But this man put his trust in the wrong place.  He took his abundance and kept it for himself.  Where does overflow come from?
(Joh 7:38 NKJV)  He who believes in Me, as the Scripture has said, out of his heart will flow rivers of living water."
(Mat 25:29 NKJV)  'For to everyone who has, more will be given, and he will have abundance; but from him who does not have, even what he has will be taken away.
Whatever you sow comes back to you… it will produce a harvest.  But whatever you store up for yourself, it will be taken from you.  Giving abundance away is better than keeping it for yourself.  If you want more give away what you got.  Then you get more.
 
(Exo 16:18 NKJV)  … he who gathered much had nothing left over, and he who gathered little had no lack. Every man had gathered according to each one's need.
Walking by faith is learning to trust God daily!
(Psa 119:105 NKJV)  Your word is a lamp to my feet And a light to my path.
