God’s Laws of Prosperity by John Avanzini

”God's Law of Patience"

A. God is not playing a trick on you when He promises a harvest. (Galatians 6:7) "Be not deceived...whatsoever a man soweth, that shall he also reap."

B. Patience is needed for your crops to grow into a harvest. ~: (Galatians 6:9) "...let us not be weary in well doing: for in due season we shall reap, if we faint not." (Hebrews 10:36) "For ye have need of patience, that, after ye have done the will of God, ye might receive the promise."

C. Whatever you sow is what you will eventually reap. (Luke 6:38) "Give, and Q shall be given unto you .... "

1. lf you sow love, you reap love.
2. If you sow mercy, you reap mercy.
3. If you sow strife, you reap strife.
4. If you sow finances, you reap finances.

”God's Rules For Reaping"

A. Qod expects you to wgrk. God says if you are able bodied and don't work, you shouldn’t eat. (2 Thessalonians 3:10) ”...if any would not work, neither should he eat."

B. God expects you to be diligent (have energetic effort).

‘~ 1. Lazy people will have little, if any, harvest. (Proverbs 24:30,31) "l went by the field of the slothful, and by the vineyard of the man void of understand- ing; And, lo, it was all grown over with thorns, and nettles had covered the face thereof, and the stone wall thereof was broken down."

2. If you can work without supervision, you will have more than enough. (Proverbs 6:6-8) ”Go to the ant, thou sluggard; consider her ways, and be wise: Which having no gp ide, overseer, or ruler, Provideth her meat in the summer, and gathereth her food in the harvest."

C. Diligent, hard-working people will reap. __, (Galatians 6:9) "And let us not be weary in well doing: for in due season we shall reap, if we faint not."

The Laws of the Harvest by John Avanzini

A. Your seed must be planted in good ground. (Matthew 13:8) ”...other (seed) fell into good ground, and brought forth fruit, some an hundredfold, some sixtyfold, some thirtyfo1d." ”Yopr local church is good gi;ound."

B. You always wait a period of time between planting and harvesting. V (Mark 4:26-27) "...a man should cast seed into the ground; And should sleep, and rise night and day, and the seed should spring and grow up .... " "You must plant today if you want to reap later."

C. You always sow to your harvest size, not from your harvest size. (2 Corinthians 9:6, TLB) ”...remember...if you give little, you will get little. A farmer who plants just a few seeds will get only a small crop, but if he plants much, he will reap much."

The Laws of the Harvest Part Three

A. A part of each harvest is for sowing again. (2 Corinthians 9:10, TLB) ”For God, who gives seed to the farmer to plant, and later on good crops to harvest and eat, will give you more and more seed to plant .... "

B. A part of each harvest is for you to keep and enjoy. (1 Corinthians 9:7) "...who planteth a vineyard, and eateth not of the fruit thereof ?..."

C. Your harvest is a miracle. (1 Corinthians 3:6) ”I have planted, Apollos watered; but Q gave the increase."

D. It's time to generously plant seed into the good ground
of this church for an abundant harvest.

Sunday, AM God’s Laws of Prosperity ”God’s Law of Sowing"

A. You must be a liberal giver to reap an abundant harvest. (2 Corinthians 9:6) "...He which soweth sparingly shall reap also sparingly; and he which soweth bountifully shall reap also bountifully."

B. You must not be controlled by circumstances. (Ecclesiastes 11:4) "He that observeth the wind shall not sow; and he that regardeth the clouds shall not *V reap."

C. You must know that some of the money you have was given to you for sowing. (2 Corinthians 9:10, TLB) ”For God, who gives seed to the farmer to plant, and later on, good crops to harvest and eat, will give you more and more seed to plant and will make it grow so that you can give away more and more fruit from your harvest."

D. You must now sow your seed.

Steward Tips by Pastor John Avanzini

Pastor John Avanzini teaches us steward tips:
At this very moment, you are holding in your hand 156
offertory teaching outlines that really get the job done. Like
all busy pastors, no doubt you sometimes find yourself brush-
ing through your Bible at the last moment to find a verse or
two for the offering. Strange as it may seem, this important
part of the service often receives only a fleeting thought in-
stead of the depth of explanation your precious people need
to enter the good life God has planned for them.

If you will quickly thumb through these pages, you will
find that the teaching outlines are short and to the point, as
well as being divided into weekly subjects. And best of all,
t they are local — church oriented.

John Avanzini teaches about the importance of tithes
The importance of systematically teaching about tithes
and offerings is easy to see when we realize the great emphasis
God places on these subjects.

" The tithe . . . is the Lord’s: it is holy unto
the Lord." -— Leviticus 27:30

If the tithe is holy to the Lord, it most surely should be
holy to His children.

John Avanzini teaches us that God wants us to be blessed
I will not spend any time trying to convince you that
something is wrong with the financial condition of God’s
people. God’s Word is very clear that God wants His children
to be financially blessed.


"T he blessing of the Lord, it maketh rich and
he adds no sorrow with it." -— Proverbs 10:22
While it may be God’s desire to bless us, it is obvious
that most of His children don’t walk in the financial abun-
dance He planned for them. The consequence of this short-
coming goes far beyond the impact it has on the personal
finances of His children. It goes to the very heart of world
evangelism.

". . . Whosoever shall call upon the name of
the Lord shall be saved." —- Romans 10:13
While the Word of God states clearly that the price of
salvation has been paid in full by our Lord’s death on Cal-
vary, the cost of delivering the gospel to mankind is still due
every time it is preached.

". . . how shall they preach, except they be "
sent?. . ." -- Romans 10:15
