GIVE WISELY
Memorise: The liberal soul shall be made
fat: and he that watereth shall be watered also himself. Proverbs 11:25
Read: Genesis 23:12-24, Bible in one
year: Joshua 22, Matthew 23:1-28
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 ton 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 service 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.
