Giving mentality is not bad, but sowing is even greater. :)

Hey there! :)

So excited to share so much with all of you! Before i start, i must first warn tt i'm using hp internet, n it might limit my speaking capacity so i might just stop n continue on computer tmr! :) i was doing my qt, n had a revelation from God! Here's it:
There are basically different mentality we can hv when giving t God. But mentioned today specifically is giving mentality, sowing mentality, n calculative mentality.

Giving mentality: expects no returns
Sowing mentality:
Expects a great returns

As i began t seek God n asked him for a breakthrough in finances, in life, He began t speak into my spirit man, and this , was what He said: 'you've been putting yourself in the giving mentality that you don't learn how to sow. That is why many times you pray, but there is no returns. It starts from the point of giving, n ur mentality plays big role big time.' so basically God was challenging me to start switching my mentality from a giver t a sower -in every arena of my need for breakthrough, there's gotta 2b a shift in mentalities.
However, there's a need t understand the heart of a sower before having the mindset of one.
After praying n studying the word,
Sowing -basically means to plant with an intention of having great returns. Its a positive expectation. Dictionary states tt sowing is scattering (seed) on or in earth, plant with seed; initiate, arouse. When we sow, we expect great returns so that more good maybe done. There's no selfish mentality involved, bcos a sower will still sow so long as good can be brought whether or not its to his gain.
That sets a sowing mentality apart from a calculative mentality! To be calculative has a different connotation. Dictionary states tt t calculate is determine before hand by judgement, reasoning, etc; estimate. To calculate is to expect great returns for satisfying one's own selfishness. It does'nt necessarily mean tt bad intentions are done here, but it does not carry a positive connotation either.

And So God has drawn tt thin line between a sower
