THEME : SOWING BEFORE REAPING
Memorise :
Be not deceived; God is not mocked:
for whatsoever a man soweth, that
shall he also reap. Galatians 6:7
Read : Galatians 6:7-10
7 Be not deceived; God is not
mocked: for whatsoever a man
soweth, that shall he also reap.
8 For he that soweth to his flesh
shall of the flesh reap corruption;
but he that soweth to the Spirit
shall of the Spirit reap life
everlasting.
9 And let us not be weary in well
doing: for in due season we shall
reap, if we faint not.
10 As we have therefore opportunity,
let us do good unto all men,
especially unto them who are of the
household of faith.
BIBLE IN ONE YEAR : Judges 5:1-6:35
and Mathew 25:14-30
Message
Our God is great. Not only is He
great, He is the Greatest. He
possesses all Wilsom , riches and
glory. The plan of God and His
delight is for you to prosper ( 3 John
2 ). Prosperity here implies
abundance, fullness and sufficiency.
One thing we need to know is that
prosperity does not come by
speaking in tongues, but by the
wisdom of sowing and reaping. At a
particular time in my ministry, by
necessity , I started given out
neckties to elders who were
ministering along with me. I then
noticed that all my close associates
started given me only neckties upon
their return from foreign trips. Out
of curiosity, I asked God why this was
so. He told me 'Son' if you sow a tie,
you will reap ties .' I then switched
to sowing good shoes into the life of
those I was sure were of the same
shoe size with me. However, the
return I got from this did not come
as fast as neckties did. I went back
to God to know why, He told me 'Son,
if you plant maize and also plant
yam. Both harvest will come, but not
at the same time .' Then, I
Understood the lesson that it is the
quality of your sowing that
determines the quality of your
harvest.
There is a category of people who
want to reap without sowing, they
can best be described as thieves. It
is very wrong to expect a harvest
when you have not sown. Make
efforts to sow into that particular
area of life where you desire harvest.
Entering into your financial
breakthrough may not come easy.
You have to provoke Heaven to act
on your behalf by sowing. No one is
poor enough to have nothing to sow.
If you check yourself very well, you
will realise that there is a seed in
your hand you can sow. The Church
in Macedonia had so little, yet, they
were committed to giving to the work
of God ( 2 Corinthians 8:1-2 ). In the
early days of my joining the
Redeemed Christians Church of God,
there was a meeting in which my
Father- in - the - Lord, the late
founder of the Church, asked all
workers to empty their treasury
because of an urgent need in the
church. Out of excitement of been
privileged to be part of the saints,
my wife and I as workers emptied
our accounts with nothing left. At
workers meeting the following
Sunday, my father - in- the - Lord
asked ' How many of you have done
what I instructed '? Out of
excitement to be counted among
those who had complied, my wife
and I raised our hands and we
received the shock greatest of our
lives. We discovered that we were
the only ones that had complied!
Ashamed, we quickly brought down
our hands; but see what the Lord
has done with our lives today. The
many seeds of those days needed a
lot of patience to become the great
harvest of God's blessings today.
Key Point :
Nobody is entirely poor. There is
always a seed in your hand that you
can sow.'
