I pray the Lord of the Harvest will send out laborers into His Harvest; for while the earth remains, seedtime and harvest, cold and heat, winter and summer, day and night will not cease. There is a time and a season for every purpose under heaven. A time to give and a time to receive. Give and it will be given back to you.
2 Corinthians 2:9 begins with “He who sows” This may seem obvious, but you never hear a farmer say, I’m hoping to get my harvest first before I plant my seed, However, a lot of people ask God to bless them with a harvest from unsown seeds.
A farmer cannot receive a harvest without sowing or planting a seed, He can stand in his field all day long and ask God to bless him with a harvest, but until he plants a seed, his prayers will do no good.
So if you have a need the question is, did you plant a seed? Without the seed, it can rain and the sun can shine, but nothing is going to happen because when it comes to experiencing God’s grace, it must be accessed.
The Bible cautions us: Do not be deceived, God is not mocked; for whatever a man sows, this he will also reap. The problem is a lot of people want to sow evil and reap good. So if your sowing is bad, expect to reap bad unless you resow. To access God’s grace in the law of the harvest, you sow what you want to reap, it is the Law of the Harvest.
Your harvest depends on when you sow. Galatians 6:9 says not to grow weary in well-doing, because you will reap a harvest if you do not faint. That means you don’t sow your seeds today and go out tomorrow looking for the harvest. There is a time gap between sowing and reaping, giving and receiving, unless God supernaturally provides a miracle. Remember, miracles are not God’s normal way of operating.
He is always at work; sometimes it’s just underneath the soil, so allow a season for reaping knowing that He may not come when you want Him to, but He is always on time. He is a faithful God you can count on to produce a harvest in your life. Now may He who supplies seed to the sower, and bread for food, supply and multiply the seed you sow and increase the fruits of your righteousness.
