Sowing in Faith, Not Fear

Jan 23, 2026    Bishop Calvin M. Hooper

Reading: 2 Corinthians 9:6-11; Matthew 6:25-34


Devotional: "He who sows sparingly will also reap sparingly." Yet fear causes us to clutch tightly what God asks us to release—our money, time, gifts, forgiveness. We doubt the One who has never failed to keep His promises. Kingdom living requires kingdom thinking: seek first His kingdom, and everything else will be provided. When you give generously, serve wholeheartedly, and forgive completely, you're declaring that God is able. Fear talks you out of obedience and robs you of blessings. Faith opens your hands and watches God multiply what you release.


Where is fear masquerading as "wisdom" in your stewardship? Today, sow something in faith—a gift, an act of service, words of encouragement. Trust that your God is bigger than your budget, your schedule, and your circumstances. He will provide.
