SEEDTIME AND HARVEST

By Jemima Rayan

God made a Covenant promise with Noah after the great flood and said that Seedtime and Harvest shall not cease. Genesis 8:22 – “While the earth remains, Seedtime and Harvest… shall not cease”

Always remember:

If you want to prosper, then pay your tithes and give offerings

If you want to walk in divine health, then pray for the sick.

If you want to build a home, then first help build the house of God.

If you need your unsaved loved one to be saved begin sharing the gospel with someone.

Every seed you sow will produce a harvest after its own kind.

1Cor 12:7 and 2 Cor 9:10 says "God always gives GIFTS to the GIVER and SEED to the SOWER". If your hands become sticky, God cannot give you. You should give in order to receive.

What is a seed?

1. The Word of God is a seed

Luke 8:11 – “The seed is the word of God"…

”God's word is spirit and life says John 6:63. The 'seed of the word of God' has life in it. Sow seeds of the Word of God in your hearts.

David says, "I have hidden Your Word in my heart". Do you have the Word of God in your heart? Speak the word of God into your own life. Every seed sown in your heart will release life into your spirit. Sow seeds of faith, healing, prosperity into your hearts everyday and you will see God moving in your own life.

2. Tear-filled prayers are seeds

Psalms 126:5,6 – “Those who sow in tears, Shall reap in joy. He who continually goes forth weeping, bearing seed for sowing, shall doubtlessly come again with rejoicing, bringing in the sheaves with him”

Jeremiah prays in Jer 9:1...Oh that my head were waters and my eyes a fountain of tears that I might weep day and night for my people.

Our God is a God who sees the tears of His people and extends the life of people. God extended the life of King Hezekiah who was sick and near death. 2 Kings 20:5 declares..I have seen your tears and heard your prayers; surely I will heal you.

David says in Ps 56:8...Put my tears in your bottle. Are they not in you book?

Jesus said to the women who were weeping in Lk 23:28..."Weep for yourselves and for your children."

Tears that you sow in his presence are seeds that will doubtlessly bring results. God is looking for people who will cry for the land. They are countless perishing each day without knowing God. Do you have tears in your eyes for the salvation of mankind? God is looking for someone who will stand in the gap. Will you be one?

3. Tithes and offerings are seeds

2 Cor 9:5-7 says “He who sows sparingly will also reap sparingly, and he who sows bountifully will also reap bountifully” God loves a cheerful giver

Luke 6:38 says, 'give and it shall be given to you: good measure, pressed down shaken together and running over shall men put in your bosom'.

Do you want God to pour out His blessing on you so that you will not have room enough to hold it? Then, bring the tithes into God's store house. Read Malachi 3:10.

4. Your Life is a seed

John 12:24 – “Most assuredly, I say unto you, unless a grain of wheat falls into the ground and dies, it remains alone; but if it dies, it produces much grain”.

The ultimate seed that you can plant is dying to your self. Without that you cannot bring life to others. Life is locked in the seed but that life is released when your flesh will die your old self will die.

Our God is a God of Harvest. He will multiply the seeds which you have sown.

My prayer for you today is 2 Cor 9:10 which says ...God will multiply the seeds you have sown and increase the fruits of your righteousness. Amen.
