Attack Your Lack - Oral Roberts

Attack Your Lack
hoping against hope we'd have an abundant
harvest, one that would be "good measure and
running over." When we put the harvest on the
scales in town to be measured, it would
determine what amount men-the buyers—would
give us in money.
With the check in his hand Papa would say,
"Come on, boys, we're going to the store." That
meant we had the money to buy what we needed
for the winter and for next year's planting.
Papa would straighten his shoulders, lift his
head, start smiling, and pat us on the back. Men
had given to our bosom and it was a great day.
As a Christian beginning to understand the
laws of sowing and reaping, I began to see that
God wasn't going to rain money down from
heaven, nor would He rain down clothes or cars
or houses and lands or food or any other material
thing we needed. That comes from men and women—
human beings-who control portions of God's earth. It is
people who are the instruments God our Source works
through to give to our bosom—or to our need.
It's so simple once I saw it. It's so powerful once I
put it into practice as a way of life for my giving and
receiving.
You see, the things you lack as a Christian believer
ultimately involve people.
