As I was reading the Word this morning, I came across a profound truth, God is good, sometimes we just need to be reminded of what we need to do. I wanted to share this because it is applicable whether you are looking to buy a home, rent a home or purchase an investment property.
I will be applying this priciple in several ways in my real estate business and my personal life. I’ll share that in a moment. But first, what is this principle from the Word of God?
2 Corinthians 9:6 says: “But this I say, He which soweth sparingly shall reap also sparingly; and he which soweth bountifully shall reap also bountifully.”
We have to sow seed no matter what we are doing. If you are looking for a house, you need to:
- let more people know that you are looking.
- Post an ad on craigslist for the type of housing that you are looking for
- Keep your eyes and ears open
- look for yard signs, drive around the neighborhood that you are looking in
- spend a little extra time looking at ads in the paper, looking on craigslist, searching google.
- Don’t be discouraged, if you will sow bountifully you will also reap bountifully.
2 Corinthians 9:7 says: “Every man according as he purposeth in his heart, so let him give; not gurdgingly, or of necessity: for God loveth a cheerful giver.”
Give of your time and resources for what it is that you are working on, give your time, give your activity. Have faith and trust in the Lord because in verse 8 of 2 Corinthians 9, it says: “And God is able to make all grace abound toward you; that ye, always having all sufficiency in all things, may abound to every good work:”
Below are areas of my business that I will be implementing these timeless and true principles.
- I currently am looking for 2 people who would like to become homeowners, I have two beautiful homes that have been beautifully rehabbed and are ready to move into.
- I have one house that we are working on in the Raytown school district, that we are turning into a home.
- I have one office building available in Harrisonville, just waiting for the right business person to move in.
- I am looking for funding partners, because I have several houses that I would like to purchase.
Those are the 4 main things that I have immidiate need to accomplish. in order to accomplish these things, I know that the Lord will provide all sufficiency as I cheerfully give my time, resources and efforts in sowing the seed. I will be talking to more people on the phone. Letting everyone know of the housing and investing opportunities that I have available (sowing bountifully). I will be placing ads on the internet.
No matter what you are doing, read 2 Corinthians 9:6-8 and apply these priniples. Trust the Lord, have faith that all grace may abound toward you.
To your success,
Robert Frank
