Immersed 7 – Sustained and Triving by the Blessing

Immersed in the Blessing pt7

Sustained and Thriving by the Blessing

[2Co 9:6-11 NASB95]

The world’s system is experiencing and huge economic downturn. Inflation has been horrible. It is harder for people to buy a house. Wages have not kept up with prices. This is not a political statement, just an economic analysis.

Yet, we, Christians, do not have to depend on the financial system of the world.

God will sustain you and cause you to thrive in any environment.

Sustaining:

[Deu 29:5-9 NASB95]

[Luk 22:35 NASB95]

Thriving:

[Psa 105:37 NASB95]

[Luk 6:38 NASB95]

[Mat 6:33 NASB95]

What does God want us to understand about sustaining and thriving in the blessing.

We must understand two important truths about sustaining and thriving in the blessing.

1. Sustaining and thriving in the blessing is unstoppable.

Doesn’t matter where you start.

Abraham – started with nothing, became very rich! [Gen 13:2 NASB95]

Beggar from ash heap… [1Sa 2:8 NASB95]

Doesn’t matter where you are.

Isaac – sowed in the land of famine, reaped 100-Fold. [Gen 26:1-3, 12-14 NASB95]

Works everywhere – [Deu 28:3, 6 NASB95]

Doesn’t matter what is against you.

Jacob – worked for Laban changed his wages 10 times. [Gen 31:7, 9 NASB95]

Paul was blessing while under house arrest. [Phl 4:17-19 NASB95]

2. Sustaining and thriving in the blessing is activated by giving.

Tithes and offerings allow you to tap into the blessing. [Mal 3:8-12 NASB95]

Abraham gave the tithe. [Gen 14:18-20 NASB95]

Jacob gave the tithe.

[Gen 31:11-13 NASB95]

[Gen 28:22 NASB95]

Your giving connects you to God’s provision. [Pro 3:9-10 NASB95]

The blessing of God on you will cause you to be sustained and thrive no matter where you start, where you are, or what is against you and is activated by giving.
