COMPETE WITH GOD

What this episode covers

1 Kings 4:29 (KJV) And God gave Solomon wisdom and understanding exceeding much, and largeness of heart, even as the sand that is on the sea shore. I always say, if you give a woman a house, she will give you a home. If you give her a seed, she will give you a child. God designs a woman to receive what you give and return so much more. That is the likeness of God at work in her. You see, God is a Giver, and His nature is to receive what you give and multiply it back to you. He is a wealthy King who refuses to be outdone. In the realm of royalty, the glory of a king is measured by his power to outgive another king. That automatically shifts the nature of our giving because the Bible says God has made us kings (Revelation 1:6). So, when you give to God, He does not only see a church member or partner giving. He sees another king giving, and His reputation demands that He outgive you. That is what happened to King Solomon in 1 Kings chapter 3. Solomon gave an offering, and true to His nature, God was not about to be outdone by another king. He visited Solomon in a dream and asked, "What do you want Me to do for you?" Solomon's response had God's interest at heart. As a result, God not only granted Solomon's request but gave him much more than he asked for. I dare you to try and outgive God. Focus the purpose of your giving on God's Kingdom. He will give you exceeding much and largeness in return. PROPHETIC DECLARATION I excel in the grace of giving. I am empowered by God to receive seed and to give with joy. Therefore, I am never without a seed.
