KINGDOM GIVING – PRAYERS TO NAME YOUR SEEDS – CLAIM YOUR HARVEST AND GIVE IN LOVE AND OBEDIENCE TO GOD
Teaching By Annamarie Strawhand
When giving to the Lord, we have the tithe (our obedient 10% believing Him in making good on His promise in Malachi 3:10). A first fruits (a first offering to the Lord each year or the first of something new the Lord has done in your life – first paycheck of a new job, first sale of a new book, etc).
An offering is giving to God over and above your tithe or a seed. This is an act of LOVE to the Father for His goodness and to be a part of Building His Kingdom on earth. Offerings can be made to ministries, missions or to the poor and needy in the name of Jesus Christ. You give where He leads you to give and where you feel strongly in your heart to give. Also you give where you see good works for the Kingdom of God happening. You should only give if you feel led by the Lord there, especially to a ministry that you are growing in the Lord and who will pray over your offerings. Do not feel pushed to give offerings, this must come from your heart.
Then there is a seed (where you intentionally give unto the kingdom of God and name the offering as a “seed”. ) When you plant corn you don’t get daisies, right? You expect a corn harvest. It’s all about being specific with your seed. So you write your check, or send it via website, you write what the name of the seed and what the harvest you are expecting by faith. So you have a $25 seed, you say this prayer over your check or transaction: “Father, Thank you for this $25. I offer this up to you Father and plant this as a seed into your Kingdom and I name this seed “new car”. I believe by faith that this shall produce a harvest for which it is sent according to Your word Father in Isaiah 55:11 that so My word that proceeds from My mouth will not return to Me empty, but it will accomplish what I please, and it will prosper where I send it.. In Jesus name I receive my new car in faith, Thank you Father, Amen” You can even name your seed “for the salvation of my loved one _____” or “for the restoration of my marriage” or “for the returning home of my prodigal _________”
God makes it simple and wants us to understand Kingdom Finance and Giving. Once your check or offering is decreed by faith into the Kingdom of God, it changes realms and is not under the earth curse system, but God’s unlimited Kingdom, where there is no lack – only abundance. You also want to make sure the ministries where you “plant” your seed are growing and producing much fruit of the Holy Spirit and advancing the Kingdom of God.
You want to sow into “fertile ground”. You can also decree a 1000 fold return on your seed financially.
WHEN YOU GIVE – GIVE WITH FAITH AND SAY: I AM BELIEVING GOD FOR 1000 FOLD RETURN ON MY SEED!! ACCORDING DEUT. 1:11
Declare over your seed: “Father I sow this seed of $____ into your Kingdom and decree by faith over this seed that it will be blessed and multiply 1000 fold financial return according to Your promise in Deuteronomy 1:11 for me and my household and the ministry I am sowing it into in Jesus name, Amen!”
A seed for a specific need – pray over your seed/check: “Father God, your word says in Mark 11:24 Therefore I say unto you, What things soever ye desire, when ye pray, believe that ye receive them, and ye shall have them. Therefore, Father I desire ___________ and I believe I have received it today in Jesus name! Thank you Father God!”
First fruits offering: There are many teachings out there on Kingdom finance and first fruits. These have given me a good understanding of how this works and why God set it up this way. It’s all very sacred and all very beautiful when giving to the Father and thinking of Him first. Also understanding God’s financial laws of sowing and reaping. Giving to Israel based missions is always important for your finances and blessings and connecting yourself to the promises of Abraham.
When you give, give with your heart in the kingdom – give to God in faith!
Tithe – Giving your obedient 10% of your income to God regularly – this changed me and my husband’s life! When we started tithing 10% of our monthly income to the Lord within a year we were debt free for the first time in our 20 year marriage!
Read God’s promise to the Tither in Malachi Chapter 3:10-12 “Bring ye all the tithes into the storehouse, that there may be meat in mine house, and prove me now herewith, saith the LORD of hosts, if I will not open you the windows of heaven, and pour you out a blessing, that there shall not be room enough to receive it. And I will rebuke the devourer for your sakes, and he shall not destroy the fruits of your ground; neither shall your vine cast her fruit before the time in the field, saith the LORD of hosts. And all nations shall call you blessed: for ye shall be a delightsome land, saith the LORD of hosts.”
I can tell you that God is good on His word – He did this for my husband and I and He will do it for you!
Tithing must be made to a “storehouse for the Lord” these are ministries who accept tithes and pray over them according to Malachi 3:10-12 and they are obedient with the tithe themselves. I have asked the Lord for my ministry to be a storehouse and He has given me permission here to receive and pray over tithes in agreement with your prayers over them.
Prayer over your Tithe: Lay your hand on or raise up the money, check or transaction to God and speak this prayer in Faith: “I acknowledge YOU Father God as my everything and that YOU alone prosper me and my household! I acknowledge Almighty God as my prosperity and my source of all my needs according to His riches and glory!” “Father, in the name of Jesus, I’m a believer! I believe what YOU say and YOU prosper the work of my hands and my faith! My job, my family, my bank accounts, they are not my source! You Father God are my source! You Father God are my prosperity! YOU Father God are my Treasure! I am grateful and I choose to worship You today Father God! In humble faith and obedience according to your word in Malachi Chapter 3 verse 10-12 I ask You Father God to receive my tithe, In Jesus name! Amen!!”
Partnership with a Ministry: Partnering with a ministry for a monthly payment commitment is something you should prayerfully consider before doing so. Make sure the ministry is a place that you deeply believe in and you truly feel the Holy Spirit has led you to learn from and be a part of that ministry and the plan God has for it. Make sure you see growth and blessings flowing in that ministry and that it is following God’s word. That they teach from the Holy Bible and allow the works of Holy Spirit. Partnership is considered a “covenant”. Covenants are very important to God and when you enter into a monthly financial commitment to a ministry, you become of the household of that ministry. So the blessings of that ministry pass on to you. We are a prophetic ministry, so we also have the “prophet’s reward spoken of in Matthew 10:41 He that receiveth a prophet in the name of a prophet shall receive a prophet’s reward; and he that receiveth a righteous man in the name of a righteous man shall receive a righteous man’s reward.” Life in The Faith Lane with Annamarie offers a Mentoring Partnership and we pray these blessings over you.
Kingdom Finance Is For Every Money Transaction – Speak over your money and what you want it to do for Jesus!
My husband and I have reaped much fruit from “Banking and Sowing/Reaping in the Kingdom” and we want to give to our loving Father who gives so much to us. We want to see our money go to work for the Kingdom of God in everything we pay for! The key I have found is to use your money for the kingdom as much as possible and if you have to pay into something that is not aligned with the kingdom of God, like my teaching “Kingdom Traveler” take what you have to pay them and make it a seed unto the Lord for the salvation of the people who own that company and all their employees! I just love to have all my money put to use for advancing the kingdom! Much love in our Lord Jesus Christ to you and your household and know that God will reward your faith with your finances! We are financing the Kingdom of God on earth to grow, expand and prosper – preparing for Jesus Christ return – we pray He finds us faithful and we hear the words: “Well done good and faithful servant”.
