Memorise: The liberal
soul shall be made fat: and he that watereth shall be watered also himself.
Proverbs 11:25
Read: Genesis 23:12-14
12 And Abraham bowed
down himself before the people of the land. 13 And he spake unto Ephron in the
audience of the people of the land, saying, But if thou wilt give it, I pray
thee, hear me: I will give thee money for the field; take it of me, and I will bury
my dead there. 14 And Ephron answered
Abraham, saying unto him,
Message
There are certain
things people don’t know about sowing and reaping. This lack of knowledge has
denied some people their harvest. There is a need therefore to always ask God
for the wisdom of sow and reap rightly in every area of life. It is one thing
to know what to sow and it is another thing to know how to sow it. Of
importance also is the need to know where to sow and how to water what has been
sown to produce the desired harvest. Ask any farmer who understands natural
farming principles, he will tell you that reaping a good harvest is usually a
walk in the park once the correct principles are followed. There are people who
will sow today and want to reap today. According to Scripture, such an
expectation is not applicable to great harvests. There was a time I was sowing
a particular item into the life of people and I was worried because the harvest
was taking time. I therefore asked God what was happening and He said “Son, if
you plant maize, you can harvest it within three months, but if you plant yam,
you will have to wait a little longer.” The greater the quality of seed sown,
the longer you will have to wait to enter into your harvest.
Entering into your
ultimate financial breakthrough may not come as easily as you think. It may
involve sowing at a time most inconvenient; it may even involve seemingly
endangering your today and tomorrow through a selfless seed. I have discovered
that it is not poverty that stops some people from giving but their
unwillingness to give. The good news for those who sow in tears is that they
will always reap in joy. Many people have lost their harvest because of
impatience. If you have sown quality seeds, give them enough time to mature so
that you can enter into your desired harvest. Also, it is important for you to
know that God does not expect you to meet every need out there. You have to be
sensitive to locate the grounds that will give you your desired results. The
ability to offer something big is a choice. Stop limiting yourself. When God
has brought you to a level where you can give a =N=10,000 offering and you are
dropping =N=1,000, what you are indirectly telling God is that you don’t deserve
to be on the level He has placed you. Don’t demote yourself by your attitude to
giving to kingdom projects. Do you complain that you cannot give because you
are poor? That is the excuse the devil uses to deny many from entering into
their breakthrough. You may not sow money all the time, but you can offer your
commitment to the work on ground. All those volunteered their services at no
cost towards various projects at the Redemption Campground have been mightily
blessed of the Lord. All the artisans who had only their skills to sow at that
time have now become channels of blessings to others.
Key Point: Whatever
you sow may leave your hand, but it cannot leave your life.
