"Give, and [gifts] will be given to you; good measure, pressed down, shaken together, and running over, will they pour [1] into [the pouch formed by] the bosom [of your robe and used as a bag]. For with the measure you deal out [with the measure you use when you confer benefits on others], it will be measured back to you."
Luke 6:38 (AMP)

When you give to the Joseph C. Howard, III Scholastic/Artistic Award you are sowing into good ground that would bring considerable gains. How? Let's look at a few key words listed in the Luke 6:38 (NIV:)

Pressed down in the Greek is (piazo 4389), which means to capture or seize. So being a giver, money is being captured or seized in a spiritual pile for you.

Shaken together in the Greek is (saleuo 4888), which means to shake up or agitate; it also (4893) means a tossing and rolling motion) of the surging waves. So your money is being tossed abruptly in your spiritual account until it accumulates advancements of revenue.

Running over (hyperekchynno 5658) in the Greek means overflowing. You begin to see the benefits of giving as wealth overflows abundantly in your life.

This tells me as a giver it is to my benefit that I give - for wealth piles up, get tossed and then overflows as capital gains drop into my investment portfolio. These same benefits are available to all God's children that are givers. Awesome God!

Joseph C. Howard, III Scholastic/Artistic Award fund, is an organization, where giving is a major factor in equipping children into growing into productive adults by giving them tuition to a Christian private school or children's art school. Children don't have to be a product of their environment when taught biblical principles and life skills that will help them excel throughout adulthood.

MY PRAYER FOR GIVERS

LORD I thank You for the givers who have blessed and will bless this ministry. Now Father as the spirit of giving fills the hearts of many people, I pray for You to reveal hindrances that will stop them from receiving abundant wealth. I pray that they would humble themselves before You and ask for deliverance and repent of their sins; that they may receive wealth for the Glory of Your Kingdom. Amen
