G-d's calendar: 16th day, 2nd month, year 5771

Genesis 26:12
Then Isaac sowed in that land, and received in the same year an hundredfold: and YHWH blessed him.

Mark 10:29,30
And Y'hshuwah answered and said, Verily I say unto you, There is no man that hath left house, or brethren, or sisters, or father, or mother, or wife, or children, or lands, for my sake, and the gospel's, But he shall receive an hundredfold now in this time, houses, and brethren, and sisters, and mothers, and children, and lands, with persecutions; and in the world to come eternal life.

YHWH gives the manifold blessing. Neither of these Scriptures indicate, not even remotely imply that the "hundred fold" had to be asked for, nor did they have to beg of their fellow man, or bargain with G-d about it. These Scriptures simply say that a relationship with G-d involves us being responsible and diligent servants and He gives the increase and bounty. This applies to everyone from new believers to seasoned ministers. The increase happens by the hand of G-d to the faithful.
