Sowing leads to reaping. You reap what you sow.

2Co 9:6  But this I say, He which soweth sparingly shall reap also sparingly; and he which soweth bountifully shall reap also bountifully.

I dont want to reap a lot of money. 

Proverbs 30:8 Remove far from me falsehood and lying;
    give me neither poverty nor riches;
    feed me with the food that is needful for me,
9 lest I be full and deny you
    and say, “Who is the Lord?”
or lest I be poor and steal
    and profane the name of my God.

1 Timothy 6:6 But godliness with contentment is great gain. 7 For we brought nothing into the world, and we can take nothing out of it. 8 But if we have food and clothing, we will be content with that. 9 Those who want to get rich fall into temptation and a trap and into many foolish and harmful desires that plunge people into ruin and destruction. 10 For the love of money is a root of all kinds of evil. Some people, eager for money, have wandered from the faith and pierced themselves with many griefs.

Matthew 4:4 “But he answered and said, It is written, Man shall not live by bread alone, but by every word that proceedeth out of the mouth of God.”

Modesty is a great virtue, but we do not sow for ourselves. As we sow, we do to hope that thanks to God will be given.

I believe if we do reap money that its not for us, not to build mansions, drive luxury cars, wear expensive clothes, have expensive furniture, vast amounts of land and such. Matter of fact people in acts sold what they had, they didnt buy even more. Its for others. Paul talks about equality. He says churches should share if they want to do good. When one church has plenty they share with one that doesn't, and in turn that church that gets help will help when they have plenty.

Consent. When it's fair, thank God. When it isn't, love fades away. When we decide to take any action, we are also aware of the fruits of that action. We also know that we can sow both bodily and spiritually. For example, when we sow the Gospel, we do it for God's glory, but our love grows. And we thank God.

It is improper to refer ‘from faith’ to God’s faithfulness.)

However its is from us placing Faith/Trust in Him  that our faithfulness in Him grows as His works and promises also keep growing in us and transforming us into the child of God we were always intended to be.

Don't know if I have expressed myself clearly, but from my own walk with Christ Jesus, much change began to happen in me once I began to truly place my trust/faith in Him and in return He showed me more, He responded to me more with His promises, with Him being able to transform me ,because of my willingness to trust Him more,  into His new creation as I was willing to yield a little more trust by  a little more trust to Him. The more faith  and faithfulness I have placed in Him, the more He has responded to me and the more He has been able to work in me. This is how I began to understand that God truly desires to have an ongoing daily relationship with His children. As we draw near to Him, He also in return draws near to us. God desire a symbiotic faith filled and faithful relationship between He and his bride. This relationship is filled with faith and faithfulness like a bride has with her groom.
