Prosperity
is impossible without a seed.
In
Zechariah 8:12 the bible says ‘For the seed shall be prosperous; the vine shall
give her fruit, and the ground shall give her increase, and the heavens shall
give their dew; and I will cause the remnant of this people to possess all
these things.
The Seed
means many things here:
From a
prosperity point of view it represents sowing and reaping physically and seeing
crops grow. Fertility is implied and you can believe God for children too, in
the spiritual sense – disciples. The seed, ground, vine and heavenly dew are
all ingredients for prosperity on an agricultural level.
Increase
answers to Inputs. If you want to prosper financially, you must sow
financially. If you want people to love you, love them; for life is an echo,
what you put in is what you will harvest.
In
Galatians 6:7, the bible says life is made in a way that what you sow is what
you reap ‘Be not deceived; God is not mocked: for whatsoever a man soweth, that
shall he also reap’ I hope God will grant you an understanding of that
beautiful line of his word.
If you are
friendly, people will be friendly towards you; if you love others, others are
bound to love you. If you are kind hearted, people will be kind hearted towards
you. Life is made in a way that everyman receives his echo as reward. The
question you will ask yourself today is why has God spared your life? Why has
God kept you alive? What were you made to accomplish?
God blesses
you for His kingdom sake, for the sake of your family members and for the sake
of your village; but so many of us are blind to it; so many of us are so
selfish. All we want is how to gather more. When you Get what you Can; and Can
what you Get; and Sit on the Can; and Guard the Can; you run into a life of
struggling, a life of poverty, a life of defeat. Men and brethren, it is not
where you are that determines who you are. It is who you are that determines
where you are. Exodus 3:21-22
Anybody who
wants to command the wealth of God must first obey the commandment of God. We
are not of our own; we have been called to serve God. Exodus 25: 2-8. The word
‘take’ means from what God has given you already, take from it.
In short,
God testifies that the remnant of his people should abound in all good things,
for the heaven would not withhold from them its rain, nor the earth shut up its
bowels.
But God
ever recalls his people to himself, that they may depend on his blessing; for
it would be a cold doctrine were we not persuaded of this -- that the earth is
not otherwise fruitful than as God gives it the power of generating and of
bringing forth. We ought therefore ever to regard the blessing of God, and to
ask of him to supply us with food, and to pray him every day, as we are taught,
to give us our daily bread. But few do this from the heart, and hardly one in a
hundred so turns his thoughts to God's hand as firmly to believe that he daily
receives from him his daily food.
