“Giving Part 3” by Pastor Frederick K. Price concludes its profound exploration of giving principles from both the Old and New Testaments, specifically within the context of the church. Here are the key insights:
 
  1. Sowing, Seasons, and Reaping: Pastor Price emphasizes that the principle of giving involves these three interconnected aspects. Let’s delve into each:
    • Sowing: Just as a farmer sows seeds in the right season, believers must sow their financial and non-financial “seeds” at opportune times. This principle extends beyond mere finances; it encompasses all aspects of life.
    • Seasons: Seasons represent measures tied to our giving. The measure of our giving corresponds to the season we find ourselves in. Whether planting or harvesting, understanding the season is crucial.
    • Reaping: The biblical truth remains: you reap what you sow (Ecclesiastes 11:1-7). Whether good or bad, our actions yield corresponding results. Trusting God’s timing and obeying His instructions lead to fruitful outcomes.
  2. Beyond Finances: Sowing isn’t limited to financial offerings. It encompasses every act of kindness, generosity, and service. Galatians 6:7-8 reminds us that our actions have consequences.
  3. Overcoming Doubt: When faced with life’s uncertainties (symbolized by winds and clouds), we must rise above our senses. Job 4:1-8 teaches us not to allow external circumstances to dictate our giving. Instead, listen to God’s specific instructions on where, when, and how much to sow.
  4. Ground Awareness: Be discerning about the ground you’re sowing into. God’s return on your giving is multi-directional and multi-textured, contingent on the soil you choose.
  5. Expectation of Return: As you sow into the Kingdom of God, anticipate a manifold return in every area of your life—not just material wealth but also spiritual and emotional well-being.
