SEED POWER
The Visionary life is a life of success. It has direction, it is not confused. Seed power (Money) is what aids Vision to succeed. Everything goes in the direction of Money. King Solomon says “Money answereth all things”.
In Leadership, we will administer large amount of wealth, knowing how to administer it will determine how:
People see (judge) you
God blesses your leadership platform
Authority is conferred on you (external) but Power is generated (Internal). In any Leadership positions, we want to structure how to manage the seed (funds/money) in our hands. When people overlook seed power, we have difficulties.
We have to know how to provoke (administer, invest) our SEEDS to yield fruits/Results. Knowledge is the tool to become justified. Daniel had not only an excellent spirit but he also had knowledge. Daniel 5:7.
Matt 25:24-27 (PARABE OF TALENTS)
We should not misapply our money. We must not put our money in the wrong place.
We must put structures in place to understand what our money does.
This is just a Sample Plan/Structure (You may plan yours to suit your environment).
10% Tithe to other Nations, State, Institutions, God.
20% for elders, cabals, kings, traditional rulers or stake holders
10% Miscellaneous
35% for recurrent expenditure
25% for capital projects - a ¼ of our projects should be new things.
Everyone is given a seed (talent, money etc). Not knowing how to use the seed is a problem Isaiah 5:13, If we know how to use our SEED power, we will be able to creat an enabling environment to work.
SEED POWER is a Major thing in Leadership. In Leadership, volumes of money are nothing. The blessings we need come from sowing these seeds. (Investment).Salary (SEED) cannot achieve as much as our Harvest (blessing) can.Sow and Sow again.
In administering your seed, you give priority to the Source of your blessing i.e. GOD. Also in administering your Seed/Money you watch the environment in which you operate in/from. Where you sow is very KEY. Our blessings (success, harvest) are commiserate to our SEEDS (Investment).
Note:
You have to deny yourself some Services inorder to have seeds to sow, The Bible talks about 10 different Offerings/SEED apart from tithing. These include:
Burnt Offerings: Your life Exodus 20:24 (Give with precision. we belong to God)
Peace Offerings: Your duty Heb 12:14 (Find a way of peace in work)
Sin Offering: Jesus Exodus 29:14 (Jesus purifies us – clean conscience in business)
Heave Offering: Your Duty Matt 5:12-16 (Lifted up-do not discriminate as a Leader)
Wave Offering: Your Duty Mal 3:12 (Global Investment)
Trespass Offering : Jesus Lev5:6
Meat Offering: Jesus Exodus 29:29-41 (Give God Refreshment)
Drink Offering: Jesus Exodus 29 :40 (Give God continuously so he can direct us)
Ransom Offering: Jesus Exodus 30: 11-15 (offer usefulness and fruitfulness to God)
Free will Offering: Till Now Lev22:19 (From a willing heart)
