TODAY’S DEVOTION (Thursday 10th April 2025)
“For as the rain comes down, and the snow from heaven, and do not return there, but water the earth, and make it bring forth and bud, that it may give seed to the sower and bread to the eater,”
“So shall My word be that goes forth from My mouth; It shall not return to Me void, But it shall accomplish what I please, and it shall prosper in the thing for which I sent it.” Isaiah 55:10-11 NKJV
WELCOME TO THE 100th DAY OF OUR YEAR OF VICTORY
I and they that the LORD has given me, are made for signs and wonders. Amen and amen. It’s our year of victory and victory will remain our portion.
So far, the LORD has been kind to us. We have seen His goodness, His kindness, His mercy, His favor, and His marvelous deeds. We have been experiencing His forgiveness, the demonstration of His power, the manifestation of His grace, the release of His presence, and the revelation of His ways, His will and His word.
Our moral lives have been experiencing His refining power. His truth purges us from the sin that lives in us whenever we stand before Him. His grace breaks its grip over our souls and gives us dominion over it. You can not be experiencing this God like this and not remain grateful for your salvation.
How great is His goodness stored up for those who fear Him. There is no end to the kindness that comes from Him each day. Daily, we have learned to be counting on compassion from the shelter of His presence. He is faithful each day. We cry out and He hears us!!
Whenever the enemy comes against us, we find Him hiding away from his reach in the secret place of His pavilion. We are grateful for all that. Child of God, the seed of His death on the cross has been bearing so much harvest in our lives as we walk with Him in faith.
Recently in our ongoing 21 days prayer and fasting, He confronted us with some amazing truths that led to major adjustment carried out in how we relate with money. The vision is to make sure that all He did not the cross is fully implemented in the life of each and everyone of us.
Almost ten years ago, specifically in September 2015, while teaching the word of the LORD on time, divine moments, and eternity invading time, I said, “it is your seed that allows eternity to invade time with finished works”. I want to share further truth about that. I hope we are ready.
SADLY, A MONEY-MAKING PREACHER WILL TAKE THIS QUOTE OUT OF CONTEXT AND TURN IT INTO A MONEY-SPINNING TOOL.
But let’s examine the power of this statement with a pure mind! Let Bible sense on the word “seed” guides us this morning, and not any other sense.
God created the seed time and harvest principle, not to make misguided, spiritually blind, or corrupt preachers gain financial fatness but to bring into time what He has finished in eternity concerning us. Church is not a money-making machine.
Therefore, wherever the principle of seed time and harvest is reduced to a money getting principle only, the gate of hell is not too far from it.
The gates of hell are responsible for the mutilation of scriptures. They are responsible for the use of great scriptures on seed, time and harvest for money spinning. Yes, the principle covers money and all that concerns a believer, but it is not a money getting tool for us – spiritual leaders.
God wants us to prosper financially than anyone on the face of the earth, and the principle of seed, time and Harvest is one of the universal principles you see Him engage in helping us become all He has called us to be, do and prosper economically.
The principles of seed, time, and harvest that God created has what is called the battle of seeds in it, and I want you to understand the battle. We all face it from time to time.
For instance, the devil will fight to stop you from knowing and sowing the right seed that will allow eternity to invade your life with God’s finished works, and if eventually you come to the knowledge of it, he will not allow you to come to the knowledge of the right place to sow, hence hindering eternity from invading your life with blessings.
THE SEED THAT WILL BREAK HIS BACKBONE IS NOT ALWAYS MONEY.
In fact, most of the time it is not money at all. The money that you give faithfully as a steward in God’s kingdom is a service that can turn things around in your life when God move to reward your faithfulness, but the seed is not always money.
So many Christians operate the seed faith principle as money alone. That has limited so many and kept people behind the gates of their enemies. The majority do not know that the principle governs every aspect of our lives on earth.
Most of us who limit it to money alone have perverted the principle. But the principle is God’s system of creating in our lives things that never existed before. It is His system for transporting finished works of the cross from eternity to time. It is a principle for changing the earthly lives of God’s people from bad to good, from good to better, and from better to best.
People who do not understand that will reduce it to money giving alone and remain with battered lives on earth.
The wholesome application of the principle teaches that God will pass you through a season of seed, then time, before you get to harvest. He will have you sow the seed of time by spending hours in His presence for instance, through a period of time, so that you can reap the power to get wealth as the harvest.
He will have you to sow to please His Holy Spirit for days, weeks, months and even years, so that you can reap abundant life in the Spirit and the crucified life as the harvest. He will have you sow the seed of righteousness, by resisting sin for days, weeks, months and even years, so that you can reap the harvest of living as the righteousness of God in Christ Jesus.
There is nothing significant that you can become in God without the application of the principle of seed, time and harvest. It remains God’s system for changing lives on earth, that is why the enemy has perverted it. It is not a money-spinning tool for preachers. The preachers turned it that way. It is a principle of living on earth.
THE BIBLE TEACHES THAT WITHOUT RESPECTING THE PRINCIPLE, OUR WALK WITH GOD WILL NOT BE PRODUCTIVE ON EARTH.
Whatever God want us to do with Him, will have to flow according to that principle. Yes, His plans for our lives are finished in the Spirit realm but for them to move from that realm to the natural realm that we live in, we must apply the principle of seed, time and harvest.
Finished works in heaven becomes finished works on earth, through principles. The principle of seed, time and harvest is one of them. I will be teaching this principle in full during our ongoing 21 days praying and fasting. If you have not joined this apostolic and Prophetic chariot, please do so now. God has so much in store for you.
Understand that God has already prepared a glorious marriage for you, a glorious economic life, and whatever you find in His word of promise for your life. They all exist in the Spirit realm. However, for the same to exist in your life, the principle of seed, time and harvest must be applied daily to your life.
Now, I did not say the principle of giving money to a preacher to get married or have a good economic life. That is the perversion of the principle. I said the principle of seed, time and harvest. Not applying the principle as taught in the Holy Scriptures is one of the reasons for troubled marriages, economic lives and all sorts of misery in our lives.
Our devotional text says,
“For as the rain comes down, and the snow from heaven, and do not return there, but water the earth, and make it bring forth and bud, that it may give seed to the sower and bread to the eater,”
“So shall My word be that goes forth from My mouth; It shall not return to Me void, But it shall accomplish what I please, and it shall prosper in the thing for which I sent it.” Isaiah 55:10-11 NKJV
Why does the word of the LORD give seed to the Sower? The word gives seed to the Sower because that is where change begins. If we are not sowing what the LORD has given as seeds to us, we will never reap what He has promised as a harvest. He gives seeds to the Sower because everyone must be a Sower, so that time can find what to process and bring back into our lives as a harvest.
Sadly, everyone knowingly or unknowingly operates the principle of seed, time and harvest. We all sow decisions into time that become a harvest of things that are either good or bad in our lives.
If the decision comes from the LORD, it will yield a good harvest in our lives, but if it does not, it will yield a harvest of bad things. That is why this principle must be taught and understood.
LET THIS SCRIPTURE BE AN ADDITIONAL MEDITATION FOR YOU TODAY!
Now it shall come to pass in the latter days that the mountain of the Lord’s house Shall be established on the top of the mountains, and shall be exalted above the hills; and peoples shall flow to it.
Many nations shall come and say, “Come, and let us go up to the mountain of the Lord, to the house of the God of Jacob; He will teach us His ways, and we shall walk in His paths.” For out of Zion the law shall go forth, and the word of the Lord from Jerusalem. Micah 4:1-2 NKJV
