SEED TIME!
“While the earth remaineth, seedtime and harvest… shall not cease” (Genesis 8:22)
The above Scripture was God’s solemn declaration to Noah, his household and to all creation after the flood. It elucidates the kingdom principle which states that when I sow my seed, I have every right to expect a harvest from it. The Scripture says ‘seedtime and harvest’ and not ‘seedtime and harvest time.’ Meaning that there is a specific time to sow in order to activate God’s anointing on your behalf for a multiplied and sustained harvest.
Isaac dwelt in the land of Gerar (Genesis 26:6); a land already ravaged by famine. When everyone left town for Egypt- the land of corn and wine, Isaac was moved to do the same; he had forgotten that Abraham, his father, prospered wherever he went, irrespective of the prevailing economic conditions. Just when he was about to leave Gerar, God spoke to him: “do as I say and stay in this land. If you do, I will be with you and bless you… just as I promised Abraham your father’ (Genesis 26:3 TLB). “Then Isaac sowed in the land and received in the same year an hundredfold…” (Genesis 26:12-13). He recognized the seed time and thus he prospered the rest of his days.
When the city of Zarephath experienced a severe famine because there hadn’t been rainfall, a poor widow came to the city gates and gathered sticks to prepare her last meal. As she was doing that, Prophet Elijah showed up and demanded for the same meal she had hoped to prepare for herself and her son. When she sowed her seed (the meal), she lived the rest of her days in plenty. Imagine if she had refused to give the meal to the prophet, she would have missed her seed time and would have starved to death with her son.
Train yourself to respond promptly to God’s instruction to sow Recognize that you are in partnership with God and get it working by faith.
