Dollars and $ense 3 // The Four Laws of God’s Blessing

The Four Laws of God’s Blessing

1. Your blessings should flow out
   – Genesis 12:2 (NIV) | “I will bless you . . . and you will be a blessing.” [God to Abram]
   
2. God blesses when you bless
   – Luke 18:29-30 (NLT) | Jesus says, “I assure you that everyone who has given up house or wife or brothers or parents or children, for the sake of the Kingdom of God, will be repaid many times over in this life, and will have eternal life in the world to come.”
   
3. Your blessings come back
   – Luke 6:38 (MSG) | “Give away your life; you’ll find life given back, but not merely given back — given back with bonus and blessing.”
   
4. The more God blesses you, the more God expects of you
   – Luke 12:48 (GNT) | Jesus said, “Much is required from the person to whom much is given; much more is required from the person to whom much more is given.”

The more generous you are with what God gives you, the more you’ll see God blessing you in return.
