The Six Laws Of Abundance - Part 2

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.”

Foundational Characteristics Of Missional Leaders

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.

A Fear-based Perspective Of God And The Devil

Living your life within the love-based paradigm that says we are all one with God is different than living your life within the fear-based paradigm that says we are all separate from God. Let us explore this fear-based perspective from an objective point of view and see if it serves us. If you believe in the concept that you are separate from everything, including God, then you may recognize some of the following beliefs.

God is usually thought of as an older white male with a white flowing beard. He favors the color white and is usually pictured in a long white gown. God lives in Heaven and when he is at work, he normally is sitting on an ornate throne.
