MULTIPLY YOUR SEEDS – Tuesday March 7th 2017
Memorise:
In the morning sow thy seed, and in the evening withhold not thine
hand: for thou knowest not whether shall prosper, either this or that,
or whether they both shall be alike good. Ecclesiastes 11:6
1 Cast thy bread upon the waters: for thou shalt find it after many days.
2 Give a portion to seven, and also to eight; for thou knowest not what evil shall be upon the earth.
3 If
the clouds be full of rain, they empty themselves upon the earth: and
if the tree fall toward the south, or toward the north, in the place
where the tree falleth, there it shall be.
4 He that observeth the wind shall not sow; and he that regardeth the clouds shall not reap.
5 As
thou knowest not what is the way of the spirit, nor how the bones do
grow in the womb of her that is with child: even so thou knowest not the
works of God who maketh all.
6 In
the morning sow thy seed, and in the evening withhold not thine hand:
for thou knowest not whether shall prosper, either this or that, or
whether they both shall be alike good.
Bible in one year: Genesis 38-39, Isaiah 52:13-53:12, Hymn: Sing hymn 10
MESSAGE:
One law that applies to everyone is the law of harvest. The Holy Spirit in Galatians 6:7
says it is what you sow that you will reap. As a universal law, it
holds true irrespective of your religious inclinations, race, colour or
tribe. It applies, regardless of whether you believe it or not.
Similarly, it is common knowledge that the kind of soil a seed is sown
in will definitely affect and determine the harvest that will be taken
from it. If the soil is good, the harvest will most likely be good, but
if the soil is bad, the harvest will most likely be poor. If there are
several farmers sowing the same type of seeds in the same kind of soil,
is it possible for one farmer to have a more prosperous harvest than his
colleagues? The Bible answers this in 2nd Corinthians 9:6
“But
this I say, He which soweth sparingly shall reap also sparingly; and he
which soweth bountifully shall reap also bountifully.”
It
is possible for one of the farmers to reap a better harvest, if he or
she increases the quantity of seeds sown or the frequency of sowing. In
light of this, the preacher strongly advises us to engage in regular
sowing of seeds. You should be prepared to sow by day and by night. Open
Heavens 7 March 2017:- Multiply your seeds. You should also sow when
you are young and continue sowing when you are old. Why? Nobody can
determine how the harvest of the seeds he or she has sown will be. Some
seeds may come up with a poor harvest, some with a good harvest while
some others may not yield at all. All these are pointers to the fact
that you input can greatly influence your harvest.
Some
people sow once in a very long while and then wait to see the harvest
before deciding to sow again. This is why their harvest is kept far away
from them. Do you know that in spite of all God has done for us – He
sowed His only begotten Son to obtain our redemption – He is still
sowing seeds for mercy, love, forgiveness, protection, provision, etc
into our lives on a daily basis? This is why He continues to take in a
harvest of souls every day. No wonder He tells us in Galatians 6:9
“And let us not be weary in well doing: for in due season we shall reap, if we faint not.”
How
frequently do you sow into God’s Kingdom? Have you stopped sowing
because you are now old? Don’t stop sowing! Scatter your seeds today!
Action Point
Looking at the size and quality of harvest you want for the future, go ahead and sow the seeds that will give you such harvest.
