Sowing and reaping

“Do not be deceived: God cannot be mocked. A man reaps what he sows.” Galatians 6:7

Sowing and reaping

The more you sow the more you reap.

Sow your seed into good ground.

The more you sow and get involved with the local church (Oasis) the more you will reap and the more benefits you will receive.

Salvation is a gift of grace (Romans 5:15) but faith without works is dead! (James 1:22-27)

Finances

"Will a man rob God? Yet you rob me. "But you ask, 'How do we rob you?' "In tithes and offerings. You are under a curse — the whole nation of you — because you are robbing me. Bring the whole tithe into the storehouse, that there may be food in my house. Test me in this," says the LORD Almighty, "and see if I will not throw open the floodgates of heaven and pour out so much blessing that you will not have room enough for it.” Malachi 3:8-10
