Don't MISS this one key financial principle to increase wealth?

Hi, I'm John Humenik. Welcome back to the channel. I'm so excited you're here today. If you're new to this new channel, please subscribe and click on that notification bell so you can be informed when there's new content that comes out. And also share this video with some friends because this video about kingdom planting is going to change the way you look at how your tithes and offerings apply to your financial overflow and how you can reap a harvest. 'Cause we're gonna have a second video that will follow on after this that talks about how you can reap a harvest that you have been sowing over this time so that you can receive the hundredfold harvest that God has promised you in the scriptures and walk out life victoriously. It's going to be so good, so stick around to the end because it's going to blow you away. We're going to start off with Mark chapter 4, verses 26 through 29. And he said, the kingdom of God is as if a man should scatter seed on the ground. He sleeps and rises night and day, and the seed sprouts and grows, but he doesn't know how. The earth by itself produces the blade, then the ear, then the full grain in the ear. And but then when the grain is ripe, at once he puts it in the sickle because the harvest has come. So I want you to look at this scripture because think about it, picture it from your perspective. You've got a garden and you want to be able to have a bountiful harvest, and you've got seed in your hands. Just picture yourself, let's say you're planting cucumbers and tomatoes as a perfect example. If you want to have a bountiful harvest, you know that when you plant seed in the ground, there's a chance for that seed not to take root. So what do you do? You plant a lot of seed. In fact, you can plant an entire box or a little package of seed across the garden. You can do the same with cucumbers, because you know, there's a good chance that some of those seeds will sprout up and become mighty plants. And there are some seeds who sprout up and then they don't become great plants at all. What you have to understand is, that's the same with the kingdom of God. If you want to reap a harvest in the kingdom of God, of finances, of grace, of beauty, of all these things, you have to sow in abundance. And it doesn't just apply to money. It applies to all things. But the key thing to recognize is if you are walking life out and you're missing out on something— maybe you want to take more vacations, maybe you want to sow more into the kingdom to help with missions, or you want to help the poor and do prison ministry or help the homeless— and you're just struggling to get to that point, but you're not making traction, the thing that breaks all of that off is sowing into the kingdom of God. Sow your finances because it's important. Tithing is critical and essential because that's 10%. That's a command from God. That's 10% off the top. We know that's extremely important, and then applies Malachi 3:10 on your life. So when you recognize that, that's the foundation. It's no different than pouring concrete in your house. That's what tithing does. Tithing isn't the only thing you're supposed to do, but tithing is yet just the beginning of what you're supposed to do. Offerings are the things that are done on top of their 10%, because that's the thing that expands the kingdom of God. That's the thing that injects acceleration into the kingdom of God. So if you're If you're starting to see your finances lack in a certain place, if there are certain things you're yearning for, God's putting in your heart to wanting to do more in that specific area, start to sow your offerings, the money that's on top of your tithe, into those areas so that you can move forward. Because what'll happen is, is the goal is, is you wanna sow into the areas that you desire to reap a harvest, because that's the thing you wanna do. You sow money for money, clothes for clothes, houses for houses, cars for cars, vacations for vacations, even help for help. The thing about it is, is you want to sow in good soil so you can reap a bigger harvest. So what does that all mean if you're not new to how offerings work and how sowing applies? If you are giving to basically organizations that are going to take advantage of you, that sowing is not going to return to you. You actually have to sow into ministries, into churches that are doing kingdom work. And you can recognize that by the fruit of the things that they're doing, by the results and the things that are happening around them. Is that church have a supercharged deliverance ministry? Are people getting free? Are people getting, that walk into that church bound, saying and having testimonies of how God is setting them free and how Jesus is permeating through all the things and there's salvation after salvation? That's the essence of where you should be sowing. When you have ministries that continue to do that, that's where you wanna put your money. You wanna put your money in places where you know that the kingdom of God is moving in power so that you can reap a good harvest. But the thing is, is that don't expect that harvest to come back from that place, it probably will come from a different place. So just keep that in mind. But the thing is, is if you're missing out on areas of your life, maybe you want to have better clothes, maybe you want to drive a better car, live in a nicer house, or actually take vacations, then are you sowing vacations into others? Are you donating even $10 and say, hey, use this for your rent? Hey, take this and make this on your car payment. You don't have to sow an entire car. You can take $5 and start sowing in those areas. 'Cause everyone has $5 because Basically, anyone can go to Starbucks at any time and purchase a drink. Even those people that are broke, they find a way to all have cell phones and cable and all those other things, even if they're getting it from the government. So these things are part of your income stream that you can give back into those places and watch God start to increase yourself in big ways, because that's important. This is foundational. Tithes and offerings are things that you should be doing on a consistent basis, guided by God, not by yourself, but guided by God in the Spirit of the Lord to tell you where to put your How much you're supposed to put so that you can start to reap a harvest even when it doesn't make sense. I remember times the Holy Spirit says empty your entire bank account and put it into this ministry. You know, even I had mortgage comes up. I had bills, electricity, you know, internet expenses. But God's like wipe your wipe your account out. I never had lack after that. I didn't have issues paying those bills. Those bills got taken care of. But that moment was an impactful seed that was placed into those places where then things started to move powerfully. And I know because those seeds were huge, that God's going to bring them back to me pressed down, shaken together, and running over. They were sown in tears, but you reap in joy. That's the essence of what God wants you to do. Sow into a man of God that's in your life that's been powerful. Sow into a traveling ministry. Give to the poor. Make sure that's the one that you want to keep secret, but do those things because those are the things— those are different realms in which you can put your offering in and grow the kingdom in a powerful way. The thing is, is once you've established that principle, that you become generous in the things that you're doing, then that's— you have actually created basically the foundation in the first floor of this building that you're building as a part of the kingdom of God. And this, again, this is a metaphor, a symbol for what we'll look at, but that's what we're trying to accomplish. Because what we're going to go into is we're going to go into 3 essential things that talk about how this will expand for you to be able to start walking things out. Because in order for you to have a successful harvest You have to plant in in just overwhelming places so that God can do those things. Because if you're not reaping the harvest you want, you're not sowing what you're supposed to do. It's no different than the garden we gave example before earlier, where if you're not, you don't get enough tomatoes in your garden, you're not getting enough cucumbers. Well, the reality is is it just since you started with not enough seed. So when you get past that stage, which can be difficult for many people, what you want to do is then come into a place to expect your seed to grow. And this is so key because. When you first sow that seed, a lot of people forget about it. They even don't even pray over it. People don't even know you're supposed to pray over your tithe, but that's important as a part of kingdom business, kingdom finance, which is so key in order to be able to move the kingdom of God forward. You must sow your seed in the word of faith. Because that's the thing is, we talked about this on this channel recently. Money isn't a tool. That's the lie that people want to tell you. Money is a seed. Money is a seed that gets planted in the ground in the kingdom of God, and then it comes back to you pressed down, shaken together, and running over. But you have to first expect it to grow. You have to believe that you can continue to live in this continual state of expectation that this seed-producing harvest is going to be epic, that it's going to be next level, that it says in Luke 6:38 that you believe that when it was given to you, it will come back to you. That's the thing. It says give and it will be given to you. You need to expect a record-breaking harvest. Are you coming into this season after you plant planted all this beautiful seed and you've sown your tithes for all these years and you're putting out your offerings and you're doing the things that God's calling you to do, and then yet you come in with this expectation that, hey, I'm just going to get back to what I want. Hey, maybe I'm expecting a 3% return this year, or maybe I might get that promotion this year. God never talked about living from paycheck to paycheck. He never talked about living in sub-percentages. God talks all about in multiples. Everything in the Bible is a multiple. 2 times, 3 times, 7x, 10, 30, 60, 100. He never talked about 3%, which would be 0.03%. Think about that. That's— or 0.03. That's what— that's what the world's saying. The world wants you to believe that a 20% return, which is 0.2, is an excellent return, that you can invest your money in 0.3, maybe in some business, and it'll grow and you can get your money back. Maybe at some point you can get a 5x return, and that'd be incredible. God's like, that's the low end of the spectrum for the kingdom of God. He's saying the normal is the 100x, and we'll talk about that here. The key thing is to recognize is that your faith is what is going to then stir all of these things up into and allowing you to walk out things in victory. Because it's key, because it's going to attach itself to the words that you speak and how you water your seed, because that's essential. Number 2, you have to recognize is after you've sown your seed and you've done the things you've done, and then you're starting to walk in faith that you're going to expect a record-breaking harvest to come back to you. That you have to water your seed. And this is where a lot of people miss it. And I'm just going to tell you right now, this is something that I only learned probably about 8 months ago. So even then, even all my years of my life, I didn't even get this part, much less the essential number 3 and the other things we'll talk about. It's amazing because we walk out life with the same expectation of how God wants us to operate, and then we start to understand the things in the wrong way. What you realize is, is the world has taught you how to walk out life. Literally in the exact opposite direction of God does, so that when you start to walk, you will hit plateaus all the time. And finances are no different. You have to water your seed every single day with spiritual praise. You have to do that with spiritual water. You have to speak over the word of God, over your, over your seed, because the word contains life, and those promises are part of what you need to do, and they'll grow with it. And the word of God can never return void. And so what you start to see is that when you speak over, you have this expectation of faith. That's why it's so important the expectation of faith is first, because then you align your actions with your faith, and then they come to life. If you have no expectation that your harvest is going to come back pressed down, shaken together, and running over, then when you speak these Bible verses that I'm going to talk about right now, they will have no— and they will have no effect. They will— I mean, ultimately God will still honor his word, but what will it be? Will you A 2x return, a 5x return versus 100x? We don't know. Your faith has to be aligned with God and saying, I am going to receive a 100x return for the things that I've sown into the kingdom of God, because then I can then take that money and retithe and reoffer that money back into the kingdom and grow the kingdom of God and move it forward with authority and power. Because that's the essence of it. We're here to be able to receive in bounty, but the reality is we must be able to give in bounty too, in order to continue on that climb. So let's talk about Psalm 67:5-6 and see how this applies, because this is super critical. This is the verse that you have to write down, because this is the thing that you need put on your wall so you can see it every single day. It says, let the people praise thee, O God, let the people praise thee. Then the earth shall yield her increase, and God, even our own God, shall bless us. It's so important. Think about what this is saying. Let's read this again. Let the The people praise thee, O God. Let the people praise thee. Then shall the earth yield its increase, and God, even our God, shall bless us. That's the essence of how this works. You must sow with the word of God, but you must reap with the word of God. You must add your words of faith to his words in the Bible until the manifestation of the fruit appears in your life. And it's not manifestation in the sense of witchcraft; it's a manifestation as it means as it has come into. Being in your life. So if you've sowed cars into other people, or you've donated money into people where they're going to say, hey, I'm going to help pay for cars, and so I'm going to help sow for car payments because I'm believing in a new car, you must continue to praise God in those moments to say, look, Father, I have, I have sown diligently. I have done what you asked for. I am standing in faith, and I am praising you that these things are going to come to pass. And until they come to pass, I'm going to continue to give you the glory because I know you're good and you deserve that glory Regardless of what happens, and so you can continue to praise for it. You can pray over that that fruit, whether it's a house that you're coming into agreement with, the finances, the supply, the peace, even other things that come into being. So God is going to continue to move forward in victory and allow you to operate in the ways that you need to operate in so that you can accomplish the work that you have. But you've got to stir up that atmosphere inside of you. You have to stir up and come into agreement with your faith and your praise. Because when you start to praise, the earth has to yield its harvest. That's what it says in scripture. It has to yield itself up. So God is going to continue to continue to pray, and you can continue to you can continue to pray to God, and you can thank him and praise him and accelerate those things like Jesus did when he fed the five thousand, when he thanked God, and then he was able to multiply it. You can do those things, but you still have to word it with the word of God, water it with the word of God. You must continue to move forward in victory, knowing that your faith that things are going to happen, and you. But you'll continue to praise him until it comes to pass. And then the last essential that I want to talk about today, which is so important because this is key, because this is an area where everyone will start to fall apart, and I am no different in my walk, is you've got to learn to keep the weeds out. You have to learn to keep the things that the devil's going to try to sow into your heart to try to get you off the path God has put on you because you're going to come into agreement with a lie. Don't do that. And so when you have the weeds, and those weeds are unforgiveness, Maybe doubt, fear, discouragement. My goodness, there's so much junk that the devil's going to try to throw into your life to get into your life. Get rid of them immediately. When you see a weed in a garden, do you let the weed grow? No, you immediately pull it because you know that as its roots grow, it's going to pull nutrition away from the tomato plants and the cucumber plants. In the example earlier, that what the devil will try to do is put so much garbage into your garden, into your heart, and into your mind, so that what happens is when your tomato plants and cucumber plants grow, that it gets choked, that the plant— these weeds will overgrow them and actually take away the sun, and the other plants will wither and die. That's the same thing that unforgiveness will do. Doubt, fear, discouragement. Maybe you're impatient and you're wondering, why is it taking so long for my blessings to come to me? I praise God every single day. I read his word. I walk out life in holiness and all these things. But don't let those doubts— don't let those— that timing of it choke the word that's going from mouth. Because your diligence is what's going to allow you to set you apart. Because that's what God said, is the part of the fruit of the Spirit is patience, it's endurance, it's long-suffering. No one else can do this for you. No one else. You have to do this for yourself. You have to take the weeds that are planted in your garden and get them out. And guess what? You got to be tough about it. When a little weed pops up, kill it, take it out. Don't let it even be there for a moment. Take it up by its roots and cover that space in the word of God. It's so important. And I want to go and give you a couple more scriptures, and we're going to close out this video for you really quickly. Genesis 2:15, and it says, the Lord God took the man and put him in the Garden of Eden to dress it and keep it. So the 2 words here I want to cover is dress and keep. So when you study the word dress, it means to work, to till, to cultivate and develop it. This is key. You have to work, till, and cultivate and develop the very seeds that you have planted in the ground for the kingdom of God. And then to keep It means to put a hedge of thorns around it, to watch over, to guard, protect, defend, and safeguard it, bodyguard it, and gate be a gatekeeper. You have to pull up the weeds that are in these things and just rip them out with your faith, rip them out with your praise, and stay in that place of faith, stay in that place of praise, stay in that place of generosity day in and day out, and watch God work miracles on your half. I have seen people receive. I've seen private jets be donated. I've seen fully furnished houses. I've seen cars. I've seen vacations. I've seen it all. And that's the thing about it is, is people will say, well, that's the prosperity gospel. No, it's not. That's scripture. That's the thing. When you read scripture, you see buildings being built for the prophets. You see things happening for the kingdom of God. You see the wealth that the Israelites left the— with the Egyptians. It was incredible, the gold and the silver they had, the silver and gold that Solomon had. Had, that no one was poor and everyone had their own house. That is not the prosperity gospel. What that is, is God's bounty being washed over them. And it's done through being able to plant a kingdom planting. That's the key thing. You've got to sow so much seed in the ground that God will continue to bless you. And when he blesses you, he can trust you with more and you can plant more. So this kingdom planting season, if you're caught in a situation where you're not where you're supposed to be, make sure you're sowing with the depth that you're supposed to be sowing. Make sure you expect a bumper crop, that you're going to expect so much overflow that you're going to have to donate it because there's going to be too much before you can finish. Water that seed with the word of God, with praise, and continue to do the things that God's asking you to do. And then the moment you have these doubts, these anxieties, and these fears that come up, make sure you tear them out. You apply the word of God over your life and watch the things that are going to happen explode. Because the next video I'm going to be talking about is the kingdom harvest, and it'll blow you away That God will be able to do all these things for you. Because once you start walking this out in victory, in fact, he is not going to come to you with a twofold harvest in return. It says it comes pressed down, shaken together, and running over to the point where you have no place to store it. That's the essence of what God does, and that's the essence of what he'll continue to do. And if you like this video, please share it with a friend.
