For Just 50 Cents More You Can Get the Large

II Corinthians 9:10 tells us that when we give to the Lord that He will, and I quote, “enlarge the harvest of your righteousness.” When you go out to eat someone is always asking you if you’d like the bigger portion. For just 50 cents more you can get the large, right? Here when we give, God enlarges the harvest of my righteousness. What is that? If my harvest is getting bigger, I should know what it is. Righteousness gives you access to the promises of God, the inheritance, the Promised Land. Here’s just a sample when God says in Deuteronomy 28 that you will be blessed in the city, and blessed in the country, blessed coming in, and blessed coming out. Now anyone who receives Christ has access to this harvest through the righteousness in Christ. Christ obeyed every command, and in Him we are righteous because of Him. Everyone who believes has access. Now, when you choose to be a giver, that harvest gets bigger. God enlarges it. He supersizes your harvest. He says, “I will enlarge the harvest of your righteousness.” And it comes with free refills. So the next time you’re in church and you have an opportunity to give, God is asking you, for just 50 cents more you can get the large. Give and it will be given back to you, pressed down, shaken together and running over (Luke 6:38).
