Every opportunity to plant seeds is an opportunity
to be blessed and expanded by God. Everything you do in life such as utterances
and actions are seeds and because every seed initiates a harvest, they will
definitely produce harvests. You can therefore initiate abundant harvests by
planting seeds at all times. Seeds vary from time, expertise, skills, money,
love, care and concern to plant seeds that are planted for eating. Seed
planting is not an easy task. It involves a lot of labor and pain, an
investment of your time and other resources. Besides, you can be called upon at
a time that is not convenient to plant your seed. Nevertheless, it is for your
own benefit. By divine arrangement, Jesus chose Peter’s boat and Peter planted a
seed by giving his means of livelihood for a preaching and teaching session by
Jesus Christ. Thereafter, Jesus rewarded Peter for the kind gesture.
Significantly, Peter’s reward was exponential.
Some seeds are not visible when they are being
planted but when the harvests comes, they become visible.
As you plant the seeds of your time, your energy, and
intellect to propagate the Word of God and expand the kingdom of God, you are
actually working for God who rewards in multiples. God will direct you to plant
generous seeds on the right soils so that several people will benefit from the
abundant harvests that will accrue to you in the mighty name of Jesus Christ. The
harvests are usually more than the seed. Begin to plant your seeds today for
harvests because the harvest of today is the seed of yesterday and the harvest
of tomorrow is today’s seed. All plants do not have the same gestation period.
This therefore calls for patience when you anticipate harvests.
Sometimes, harvests are delayed, either to test your
faith or because the enemy is trying to oppose your harvests. Such opposition
manifested in satanic delays is designed to make people backslide. Ignore them
and keep trusting God for the bountiful harvests He promises in His word.
Joseph planted a good seed in the life of the butler and though Joseph asked
the butler to remember him, the butler completely forgot. But for the scenario
God orchestrated through the dreams of Pharaoh that could not be interpreted by
anyone, the butler would have completely forgotten about Joseph.
Mordecai reported a plot to assassinate the king.
Though it was recorded, the book was closed and Mordecai was not honored. As if
that was not enough, Haman decided to be used of the devil persecute Mordecai. Haman
took a step further and issued a death sentence on the Jews. Keep doing good.
One day, you will reap the harvest. While Haman worked hard on earth, heaven
worked smart and just in time for Mordecai. God made the king lose his sleep
that night in order to honor Mordecai for the seed he had sown years back. And
just when the king sought a man to carry out this assignment, Haman showed up
and gave the king counsel on how to honor Mordecai.
Keep planting your seeds because you do not know
which of the seeds will produce the harvest you require to stay permanently at
Success Street. See you there. Shalom.
