When I first started my church here in Fort Worth, I had an older couple in our church. The husband was known to be stingy and didn\u2019t want to tithe. His wife secretly gave the tithe out of her grocery money and would always try and give something in the offering. In the early years of our church, offerings like hers sustained us because we didn\u2019t have a large attendance and were needing to make payments for upgrading the structure we were in at the time.<\/p>\n
Eventually the husband\u2019s job took them over to Midland, Texas and so they left. Soon after we had a large need for lumber and supplies. I purchased the lumber and sheetrock on short term credit, trusting God would supply. It wasn\u2019t but a couple days that a check came in from this lady with the exact amount we needed! It turns out that she had heard God tell her to sell her old used car and give the money to the church. You know, it wasn\u2019t but a few days later that she received a call from a friend who wanted to gift her with a brand new car! This woman gave a significant seed out of obedience, and look what God provided for her!<\/p>\n
Years later her daughter came to talk to me after her parents died. She was like her father, someone who complained about giving, but she made a comment to me that was profound. She said, \u201cYou know I would always tell mom that she was giving too much money away, but she never had any lack. I don\u2019t know how it came in, but she always had enough.\u201d Praise God! A seed planted in faith can produce a multiplied harvest that will leave you lacking nothing!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
