THE CRY OF THE SPIRIT DEVOTIONALS – BY RICHARD E. S. TAKIM

TODAY’S DEVOTION (FRIDAY 6TH FEBRUARY 2026)

“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 37TH DAY OF OUR YEAR OF STRATEGIC VICTORY

Today is another day that we will be gleaning truths to build our faith for the day. We will begin with the seed time and harvest principles.

God created the seed time and harvest principle, not to make misguided and spiritually blind, or corrupt preachers gain financial fatness, but to bring into time what He has finished in eternity concerning us. Church was not originally designed to function as a money-making machine.

Therefore, wherever the principle of seed time and harvest is reduced to a money-getting principle, 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 seeds, 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 more 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 and to prosper economically.

I want you to understand the battle of seeds we all face. 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.

So many Christians operate the seed faith principle in money matters alone. We do not know it governs every other 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.

People who do not understand God’s system for changing their lives will remain with battered lives on earth. God’s system for changing lives on earth is not a topic to be debated upon but a rule to keep. It is not debatable. The reason is simple, while you are still debating about it the person who needs salvation from it could depreciate beyond redemption. God’s systems are to be embraced without reservation.

The seed time and harvest principle is God’s system for changing lives on earth, yet not as money-driven preachers are presenting it. God’s plans for our lives are finished. Your marriage is finished, your economic life is finished, and whatever He wants you to become on earth has been done and finished.

What remains is to birth them on earth. That is what the Bible teaches.

Now, whatever God has finished about your life, dwell in eternity, not time! It dwells beyond the reach of devils, witches, wizards, etc. That is why I tell people that no demon can destroy our blessing or destiny because they are not living directly in time. They live in eternity but walk in the realm of time through people yielded to them.

The only thing the devil can pervert or destroy is the system of bringing these finished things down to us on earth. He can destroy the seed that will unlock the blessing or your destiny in a time of ignorance.

Yes, he can make sure we do not do what will bring God’s finished works into manifestation in our lives. That is where the battle lies. The battle lies in Satan keeping us from doing things that will bring God’s finished works in our lives into manifestation, especially if the things are difficult.

He even attempted to stop Jesus from dying on the Cross at one time. He knew something God had finished in eternity would manifest in time if Jesus did that, though he did not know what that thing was. You see the story in Matthew Chapter 16, where he used Peter to try to stop Jesus from dying.

IF HE HAD SUCCEEDED THERE WOULD HAVE BEEN NO REDEMPTION TODAY.

Are there things Satan is stopping you from doing that are responsible for the way your life is today? Why don’t you ask the LORD to reveal them to you! A wise man once asked the apostles in the book of acts “what must I do to be saved?” In other words, what action seeds must I sow to reap salvation? And they told him what to do, and he did it and salvation came.

Satan had stopped him from doing that for years, and he had held back his salvation for years. But one night he caught the revelation and changed his life. You are the next on God’s list!

Satan will attempt to stop you from doing anything that will bring eternity into your life. He will stop you from becoming part of a Church that will destroy his works in your life. He will stop you from reading your Bible faithfully because of what he knows the word will do in your life. He will stop you from meeting your Elijah or joining his chariot like Elisha did.

He will frustrate you from doing anything that will bring God’s finished works into manifestation in your life and one of the things he does to accomplish all these is the destruction of your seed; especially a seed that will make things happen in your life – a holiness seed, a financial seed, a wisdom seed, a destiny seed and etc.

He will either destroy your seed or blind your mind from knowing the right things to do with it. If it’s a holiness seed, he will blind your mind from sowing it into your life. The idea is to keep you in sin until he devours you. If it’s a financial seed, he will blind you from knowing the right place to sow it.

If any force has destroyed your seed or blinded your eyes from knowing your seed and where to sow it, I declare you free in Jesus’ name! Becoming a faithful Sower of righteous seeds is the only way to be a great reaper of supernatural manifestations!

OUR DEVOTIONAL TEXT SAYS, “GOD GIVES SEED TO THE SOWER”.

If you are not a Sower, you cannot be a reaper. Through sowing, we place a demand on eternity to invade our lives with the finished works of the cross. What we call harvest is simply what the eternal God invade our lives to do in response to righteous seeds sown.

Righteous seeds are not just money. Even faith is a seed. It is seed you sow to see God move. Prayer is a seed. It is the seed you sow to see God move. If you want to reap eternal life with Jesus, you must sow the relevant seeds, and the eternal God will invade your life with it.

If you want to operate in divine wisdom, you must sow the seed of listening to divine counsel or reading the Bible over time and eternity will invade your life with it. If you want to get married, you must sow the seed of living in the glory realm and eternity will invade your life with a destiny partner not just a life partner.

Now, sometimes God will show you a specific thing He has finished in eternity concerning you and then ask you to do a thing to unlock it. That thing He asks you to do is the seed, while what you unlock is the harvest. Other times He will first ask you to do a thing and after obeying Him He will then bring in the harvest you just unlocked. That was what happened to Abraham in Genesis 22.

He never knew what worshiping God with his Isaac will result. But he did it anyway and got a generational blessing. There is something we must do on earth for what is settled in Heaven concerning us to be made manifest in our lives. Time to take responsibility for our lives and find what that thing is.

If there is a problem in your life, there is a seed of prayer, fasting, faith, or holiness to sow to unlock the harvest that will deal with the problem. There is always something in God to do to be saved.

Friend, eternity is set to invade time any day we see the worship that will make that happen. God is set to use us to even raise the dead if we can find out what seed of worship (not singing but living) to sow to walk in such power. May the LORD always show us the action seed to sow into His word in order to walk in the blessings He may have preplanned for us. Amen!!

LET THIS SCRIPTURE BE AN ADDITIONAL MEDITATION FOR YOU TODAY!

“In the morning sow your seed, and in the evening do not withhold your hand; for you do not know which will prosper, either this or that, or whether both alike will be good.”

Ecclesiastes 11:6 NKJV
