Sow Where You Want A Harvest

Sow Where You Want A Harvest 
 
Genesis 26:12
12Then Isaac sowed in that land, and reaped in the same year a hundredfold; and the Lord blessed him.

When you sow apple seeds, you get apples. When you sow seeds of friendship, you get friends. If in the natural, you receive in the area in which you sow your seeds, how much more will you receive in the supernatural when God blesses you!


The Bible tells us that when Isaac sowed in the land, he reaped a hundredfold even though there was a famine in that land. (Genesis 26:1, 12) The reason was that “the Lord blessed him”. 

So if you are believing God for a breakthrough in a particular area, sow in that area. That was how our church went about setting up its first childcare centre years ago. One of the first things we did was to sow a childcare centre for a Christian organisation in Thailand.
And within the first month, our childcare centre made a very handsome profit. This was amazing considering the fact that we took over the location of a previous childcare centre which had closed down because it was making losses. It could only be the Lord blessing us. And He “is able to do exceedingly abundantly above all that we ask or think”. (Ephesians 3:20) 

Whatever money or time you give to the Lord, He will multiply it back to you. For example, you have 24 hours a day like everyone else, but the Lord can make your day very fruitful. And even after doing all that needs to be done, you will find that you still have so much time left to rest.

Even when you have nothing to give but prayers, your prayers will not return to you void. God can answer them exceedingly above what you have asked. When Job lost everything that he possessed, he prayed for his friends, and the Lord not only restored his losses, but “gave Job twice as much as he had before”. (Job 42:10)  

So start sowing seeds in the area that you are believing God for, and know that before long, you will be reaping your harvest!
