The Kingdom Paradigm of Giving, Part Two

In the beginning of our governing agreement with the government of Heaven (the Scriptures) we are charged with management of the earth and everything in it. This includes the gifts, talents, and abilities we receive innately from our God.

We are told to be fruitful and to multiply. Fruitful means to produce more of what we have, and to multiply indicates that our fruitfulness is to increase in multiples of itself, not just a fractional response, nor a partial result. (See the Parable of Talents -- Matthew 25:14-30).

We are told that when we give, increase and multiplication become the result we personally receive. Others are blessed, the Kingdom is advanced, and what we began with increases and becomes more than what we began with.

When we hold on to and do not share or put to work these abilities in the Kingdom, what we have diminishes and becomes less. Seed that is not planted does not produce, but rather becomes dry and without life. What we give is important because what we give is what becomes fruitful and multiplies.
