Summary:

The Word of God is the incorruptible seed that you must sow in your heart in order to experience increase in your life. When you plant the Word
in your heart and give what you're expecting to receive from God, you
activate a spiritual principle that brings the same back to you. Your
increase depends upon your giving.
