2. The Law of Planting

In the Law of Planting, the farmer must plant the seed first into the ground otherwise there will be no harvest. The same applies in the law of financial abundance. There is an order and a sequence.

2 Corinthians 9:10-11, it says, “now he who supplies seed to the sower and bread for food will also supply and increase your store of seed and will enlarge the harvest of your righteousness.”

People love it when preachers get in trouble. Newspapers and TV newscasters always like to play it up when some well-known preacher runs off with his secretary or the church offering.

Well — I haven’t done either one of those things, but I still need to repent anyway. What I have done is worse.

After 25 years and more of pastoring up here in the Klamath–Trinity region of northern California, I got caught not doing something, and now I have to own up to it.

One of my favorite leadership books is “Be, Know, Do: Leadership the Army Way” by Frances Hesselbein and General Eric K. Shinski (USA Ret.) This book takes a close look at the official Army Leadership Manual and applies its principles to the corporate and civic leadership realms. Here is the Army’s definition of leadership, “Leadership is influencing people, by providing purpose, direction, and motivation while operating to accomplish the mission and improving the organization”. (pg 5) This definition has three words that stand out to me: influencing, operating and improving. Influencing: motivating and loving others in the mission for the mission. Operating: creating plans, developing systems and managing their execution so that the mission is achieved. Improving: adding value to those around you and to the organization for the betterment of the mission.
