Its all explained in 7 simple steps which once you FOLLOW will reap you massive benefits.
Step One
Give and It Shall Be Given To You
Whatever you put out there will return to you with interest.
This law rules over the earth whether you believe it or not. Many believe it; it comes worded in different ways, like “What you sow you reap” or “What goes around comes around”, but how many people actually live by this law? If you really believed that WHATEVER you do will come back to you, would you do all you’re doing? Would you’ve done all you’d done? Think about it?
From a financial standpoint, if you’re broke, the last thing you want to do is give - if you give you’ll have less, right? Wrong. While it is true that if you have $10 and give away $5 you’ll only have $5 left, it is also true that the $5 you gave away is like a seed you’ve sown. No farmer can reap without sowing and one single seed can bring him hundreds of its kind.
Think of a corn seed, one single corn seed; it grows into a plant, and bears say two to three ears of corn, each having …. God knows how many kernels on them. The farmer got back hundreds of times what he “lost” (sowed) and it’s the same in every area of life. What you put out there will come back to you.
Now you might not see it return clearly all the time, or it may not come back as quickly as you might expect, but it WILL come back each and every time.
Another thing to keep in mind is that the same measure by which you give or sow will determine how much you’ll reap.
Back to the corn seed analogy: If the farmer sows only one seed, although he’ll get hundreds back, imagine if he’d sown a thousand.
So the moral: Give, give, give, give. Give your money, give your time, give your love, give your help; basically, whatever you want to get, give. When you help others, you’re helping yourself by extension. But don’t JUST give to get, (although I see nothing wrong with using this law for personal gain) put yourself in the other person’s shoes. Do unto others as you’d have them do unto you. If you were in that particular situation, how would you like to be treated? What would you like to be done to or for you? Whatever the answer is, do that to them, say that to them, etc.
Yesterday I was at the traffic lights waiting for them to turn green and a man on the side of the road asked me for money to buy “something” now I never give money to people who’re just sitting around and looking homeless, because more often than not they’re on drugs, and will most likely use the money to buy more. So I told him “no, sorry.” Some women passed by him and he begged them too but they ignored him. Then he turned back to me and begged again, and this time I asked him what he wanted; He said he wanted chips and a drink, so I said “okay, but I’ll buy them for you.” (To ensure that he used my money for food and not drugs) So I pulled off the road and went into the shop and got him what he wanted. He was so thankful and it was a wonderful feeling. Now I didn’t buy that for him because I wanted to sow a seed, I just did it because it was the right thing to do. So don’t just give to get, make this law a habit and you’ll love the results.
Andrew Murray (1828 - 1917)
Brother Andrew Murray was a well-known writer/preacher in South Africa who ministered amongst the Dutch Reformed churches. His writings now are widely accepted by modern evangelicals and he is published more than ever in his life-time.Some of his better known books titles are: "Abide In Christ", "Absolute Surrender," and "Humility." His burden for the body of Christ were teachings on the abiding Spirit of Christ in the believer, the life of faith with God daily, and the life of intercession and prayer in the Church.
Andrew Murray was possibly the strongest spokesman of the Philadelphian age to expound the Body's necessity to abide in Christ, like the Apostle John before him.
Murray was born into a family of four children in the then remote Graaff-Reinet region (near the Cape) of South Africa. Educated in Scotland, which was followed by theological studies in Holland, Andrew returned to his native land to work as a missionary and minister. Given the daunting task of ministering to Bloemfontein, a remote region of 50,000 square miles and 12,000 people beyond the Orange River, Murray already began to sense the need to for the "deeper Christian life".
Though successful in preaching and bringing many to Christ, Murray found many of his greatest lessons in the School of Suffering, as will all who follow in the path of obedience.
Andrew Murray was one of four children born to Pastor Andrew, Sr., and Maria Murray. He was raised in what was considered to be the most remote corner of the world - Graaff-Reinet, South Africa. Educated in Scotland and Holland, in 1848 Andrew, Jr., returned to South Africa as a missionary and minister with the Dutch Reformed Church. His first appointment was to Bloemfontein, a territory of nearly 50,000 square miles and 12,000 people.
Andrew and his brother John had been in close contact with a revival movement in Scotland, an evangelical extension of the ongoing Second Great Awakening in America. He prayed for the same sort of awakening for the church in South Africa and wrote, "My prayer is for revival, but I am held back by the increasing sense of my own unfitness for the work. I lament the awful pride and self complacency that have till now ruled my heart. O that I may be more and more a minister of the Spirit." (J. du Plessis, The Life of Andrew Murray)
In 1860, revival did come to the churches of Cape Town, South Africa, and subsequently spread to surrounding towns and villages. Even remote farms and plantations felt the impact as lives were changed. Where once the churches had not been able to find one man ready to be a leader for God, the revival raised up 50 in Murray's Cape Town parish alone. There were more conversions in one month in that parish than in the whole course of its previous history. (Leona Choy, Andrew Murray: Apostle of Abiding Love)
Greatly concerned for the spiritual guidance of new converts and renewed Christians, Andrew Murray wrote over 240 books. His writings reflect his own longing for a deeper life in Christ and his prayer that others would long for and experience that life as well.
