Turn Your Losses Around - don't despair over your losses. Redeem them the same way God redeemed His. He knows how to turn the losses around. God is no loser. He's the greatest winner of all time. He had all wisdom and all power available to Him. The law of giving and receiving is what He chose to use. He gave the most irreplaceable thing He had: His only Son. When the law of giving and receiving had done its work, the Almighty Father God received not only His first begotten Son, but millions of other sons as well

"But God's free gift is not at all to be compared to the trespass. 

"For if many died through one man's falling away - his lapse, his offense - much more profusely did God's grace and the free gift that comes through Jesus Christ, abound and overflow to and for the benefit of many" (Romans 5:15).

If you're ever on a losing streak and need someone to tell you how to turn things around, go to God. 

He's an expert on the subject. 

He's suffered more losses than anyone who's ever lived.

Just think about it. 

He lost Lucifer, His top-ranked, most anointed angel.

And when Lucifer fell, He lost at least a third of His other angels as well. 

Then He lost the man and the woman He had created; and because He'd given them dominion over the earth, when He lost them, He lost it, too. 

Any way you figure it, that's a lot of real estate down the drain!

Yet, in spite of all that, God is no loser. 

He's the greatest winner of all time. 

Do you know why? 

Because He knows how to turn the losses around. 

He knows how to use the law of giving and receiving to transform losses into gains.

"Give, and it shall be given unto you; good measure, pressed down, and shaken together, and running over" (Luke 6:38). 

That's the powerful principle that breaks losing streaks.

Isn't that staggering? 

He had every option that exists to choose from to redeem the things He'd lost. 

He had all wisdom and all power available to Him. 

Out of all that, the law of giving and receiving is what He chose to use.

He gave the most irreplaceable thing He had: His only Son. 

Then He backed that gift with His own faith. 

And when the law of giving and receiving had done its work, the Almighty Father God received not only His first begotten Son, but millions of other sons as well.

Don't despair over your losses. 

Redeem them the same way God redeemed His. 

Give and put the most powerful principle in the universe to work for you.

God Rewards - in Christ, God remembers your work, your words, your tears and your desires, but He does not remember your sins. God puts a finger of mercy on the scars of his children. One day, every believer will shine with a radiance that reflects the beauty of Jesus when He comes to take up His jewels. All His jewels, precious jewels His loved and His own, like the stars of the morning His bright crown adorning, they shall shine in their beauty, bright gems for His own

The Law of Reciprocity - the principle of reciprocity is found throughout the Bible. "Give and it shall be given unto you." In Christian circles, this action would be the same as giving a person a cup of cold water in the name of the Lord. It has a greater dimension than reaping only what we have sown. With a little imagination, we could interpret this verse: "If you give someone a cup of cold water in the name of the Lord, He will give back to you the whole reservoir." What a promise

Seedtime and Harvest - when God created the first living thing, He gave it the ability to grow and multiply through the principle of sowing and reaping. Life begins by this principle, and since birth your life has operated by this same principle. Harvest springs from the good or bad seeds you have sown, whether or not you were consciously aware of your seed-planting. The principle continues today. Determine to follow God’s law of seedtime and harvest. Sow the seed of His promise in the soil of your need
