NATURAl AcTIvITY, SUPERNATURAl RESUlTSOf the three T’s, treasure is the easiest to measure. We measure it every
time we deposit money into the bank account. The treasure we receive,
in my experience, correlates directly to the manner in which we are
stewards of this gift. My personal approach to managing my treasure
involves the Christian approach of tithing or giving 10% of whatever
money I earn back to my church. But, I believe that giving to a church
is not the only way in which to become a successful steward of one’s
treasure. If you attend a church that promotes tithing, ask yourself “Am
I tithing?” If you do not attend a church or other religious organization
to which one can give, then ask, “Am I making donations to charity?”
The point is to believe that you will always have enough, so you can
afford to share or to give some of it away. God does bless this faith in
His provision. The more you give, the more opportunities for amassing
treasure you’ll have for yourself and the more you’ll have to give away.
Give what your heart tells you to give, which is what 2 Corinthians 9:7
tells us to do, and to do it “not reluctantly or under compulsion.” Try
this: track what you receive and what you in turn give away. Challenge
yourself to give more and see if, in fact, you receive even more in return.
God has a way of blessing those who do good deeds and assist the world
around them.
BegIn noW:The best part about the natural experiences of our lives yielding super-
natural results is that it does not matter where you are in your life or your
career to begin. You are ALREADY living the natural everyday. Begin
today to utilize the natural time, talent and treasure you have, coupled
with your experiences to achieve supernatural results. Keep in mind the
story of David, and how he used his time to prepare and develop his tal-
ent, and how God blessed him in the supernatural to gain favor with the
King, kill the enemy, and eventually become King.
Whether you are starting a new business venture, planning a career or
life change, or simply want to energize your current career or life path,
your first action each morning must be planning time. Spend an hour or
so getting focused and balanced every day. Whether it is prayer, medita-
tion, journaling...whatever will focus you personally, use it. Write down
your goals. Create goals for your personal growth and for the ways in
which you can help someone else to grow.
