Water Your Seeds for Consistent Harvests

Written by Uyoyou Christiana Charles-Iyoha

Those who sow in tears shall reap in joy. He who continually goes forth weeping, bearing seed for sowing, shall doubtless come again with rejoicing, bringing his sheaves with him  Psalm 126 verses 5 to 6 NKJV

Consistent seed planting activates and ensures consistent harvests. However, every planted seed on good soils require watering irrespective of how great the soils are and the quality of the seeds are. Planting cannot stand alone. It must be watered. Besides, God expects you to be an active participant in His processes concerning you. Your active participation is the watering process.

To water is to nurture, care for, and protect to develop the seeds while they are growing. When you plant a seed, you do not sit down to wait for it to germinate and bear fruit without doing anything. You have to care for it – Luke Chapter 8 verse 15, Proverbs Chapter 24 verses 24 to 30, and Isaiah Chapter 5 verses 1 to 7.  Some of such watering programs include but are not limited to:

Prayer – accompany your planted seed with fervent prayers for the will of God to be done in your land – Zechariah Chapter 8 verse 12, Isaiah Chapter 30 verse 23. Consistent praying will dislodge every opposition to your harvests.

Understanding of the word of God – inadequate or complete lack of understanding of the word of God can impact your harvests negatively as you may be tempted to believe the lie of the enemy that God will not bless your seed to prosper and produce bumper harvests. However, opportunities increase as your understanding of the Word increases and this brings about productivity and fruitfulness, a function of your understanding of the word of God. Make a conscious effort to understand the word of God. You can ask the Holy Spirit to help you – Psalm 119 verse 144.

Initiate Abundant Harvests

Written by Uyoyou Charles-Iyoha

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.

How to Recognize God Created Opportunities

Written by Uyoyou Christiana Charles-Iyoha

God created opportunities come in diverse forms. The snag is recognizing such opportunities and leveraging them to actualize the necessary and relevant divine changes that they are designed to effect in your life.

One of such forms is the opportunity to meet people. This is because God always brings people your way to act as springboards to divine changes in your life. There is always somebody somewhere that God will hook you up with usually for the purpose of fulfilling divine destiny. Your responsibility at such times is to speak up when the people God designed to help you connect with you in life through God’s divine arrangement. Usually, opportunities to meet with people abound and it may therefore be difficult to spot divine arrangements to meet with people. However, a spiritually sensitive person will recognize such opportunities. How? There is usually a connection in the soul. Joseph recognized the opportunity in meeting with the baker and the butler and responding to their worries and anxieties in love and humility. It eventually paid off in the connection with Pharaoh. It is also significant that Joseph spoke up. Most often, people do not speak up when they meet with the divine helpers assigned to help them.
