No More Empty Hands: Stewardship; Faith & Obedience Connection.

Chapter 6:  Developing stewardship is a requirement of the Lord you must meet so He can permit your hands to have a continuosly full supply.  Stewardship is the ability to manage something.  You are going to have to prove your ability to manage the money God gives you so that He can give you more.  Obedience is the key to miracles.  When God makes a financial deposit in your life, it's so that He can call on you anytime to give what He wants you to give and in doing so, He always gives you enough to enjoy life with.  Stewardship begins with tithes.  God promotes in stages:  1.  God gives you seed according to your ability to handle Kingdom resources (Matt. 25:14-15).  2.  God tests you with a few things first and increases you by how faithful He finds you in the "little" (Verses 16-19).  3.  When God finds you faithful wit the resoures He gives you, He changes your status, and you go from faithful to ruler (verses 20-23).  When God tells you to give something, He is trying to get something better to you.

Chapter 7:  It's Time for Your Afterwards!  Do you hold a promise of God in your heart as dear?  Are you looking with confidence toward a manifestation of financial favor in your life?  Just as God created an expectation in the hearts of His people in the Old Testament of their deliverance from slavery, He will create an expectation in your heart of your financial freedom from captivity.  God wants to show you your afterwards.  In Genesis 15:13-14, God speaking to Abraham "And He said unto Abram, know of a surety that they seed shall be a stranger in a land tha is not theirs, and shall serve them; and they shall afflict them 400 years; and also that nation, whom they shall serve, will I judge:  and afterward shall they come out with great substance."  Do you dare to believe God, He does not want us broke.
Chapter 8:  The Conclusion.
How to Know the Best Time to Sow.  The best time to sow is right now--not when you think conditions are favorable.  If you wait that time is never going to come.  Ask God where to sow and don't ever stop sowing.  Withholding keeps people broke.  Ecclesiates 11:16, "In the morning sow they seed, and in the evening withhold not thy hand:  for thou knowest not whether shall prosper, either this or that, or whether they both shall be alike good".  Sow into good ground with a heart toward God and reap the harvest.
