TOPIC: HOW TO REAP YOUR SEEDS – GOD’S METHOD OF PROSPERITY (PART 2)
Scripture: Exodus 3: 21. And I will give this people favour in the sight of the Egyptians: and it shall come to pass, that, when ye go, ye shall not go empty:
Beloved, I welcome you to another Moment of Daily Encounter! Today is a special day to me as it marks the day I was born into the world, so take a little time to pray for me today!
Now in continuation of sowing and reaping, we have been looking at how to reap our seeds. We did establish that the seeds you have sowed may not come directly the way you sowed them but certainly it will come back to you as harvest. The various ways your harvest return back to you is what we have been looking at as reaping. And today we shall yet examine one of the way your seeds return to you as harvest.
How do you reap what you have sown as harvest?
God could bring back your harvest through any of the following ways:
1. By commanding blessings upon the works of your hands (Deut 28:7)
2. By supplying you with Divine ideas that can be harnessed to create value and render services.
3 It could be by Commanding blessings upon your store houses(Deut.28:8)
(For details of all these check our previous edition)
4. By the release of divine favour(Exo.12:36): Besides, commanding blessings upon your store house, the works of your hands, God also supplies divine ideas and divine favour.
Favour from God could be provoke as a harvest of the of seed sown. In other words you can receive the harvest of your seeds as a rain of favour because the
Bible said:
Proverbs 13: 15. Good understanding giveth favour: but the way of transgressors is hard.
If you understand this then you can provoke upon your life by the kind of seed you sow. Favour is one of the ways God prospers His children.
What is favour?
Favour is when God raises men to invest their time, resources and credibility for you. Favour is divine assistance! God in partnership with men providing help/ assistance to your destiny
Exodus 3: 21. And I will give this people favour in the sight of the Egyptians: and it shall come to pass, that, when ye go, ye shall not go empty:
God understands the place of favour in fulfilment of destiny. Hence, as His children were leaving Egypt, He decided to release favour upon them. This favour made them acceptable before the Egyptians and they gave them all that they needed.
Beloved, divine ftavour is one of the channels through which God prospers His children. When God releases favour towards you, then you are accepted everywhere you go.
When it comes to making choices, you become the preferred candidate like Esther was preferred amongst other ladies to be the next queen(Esther 2:15-17). This is what makes favour powerful, you may not be the most qualified, but you become the most preferred.
Why will God favour a man?
1. To redeem time (Exo.12:36): The people of God had spent greater part of their lives serving Pharaoh without payment. God placed favour upon them that made them recieve payment of 400years.
Beloved, it is possible the devil may have robbed you of your blessings for too long! The only way to redeem what has been stolen from you is by favour. Some of us gave our lives to Christ late, the only way to redeem wasted years is through favour.
2. To fulfil your destiny;
Luke 2: 52. And Jesus increased in wisdom and stature, and in favour with God and man.
Our Lord Jesus had favour both with God and man to be able to fulfill destiny. Similarly, every man’s destiny is at the mercy of favour. Whatever you want to achieve on earth, you will need human support and if men must support your vision, dreams or aspirations you must be acceptable. It is favour that makes you acceptable. It is favour that makes men endorse you and recommend you.
3. It can take you to the palace where your value can be rewarded in a greater dimensions (Gen.41;33-42): Joseph had been interpreting dreams, nobody paid him for it, but when favour took him to the palace he was awesomely rewarded.
Beloved, there are values you may have been creating for a very long time and nobody appreciates it, just wait until favour takes you to the palace/presidency then you will know that you are valuable.
Besides taking you to the palace, it makes your products priceless. Just as Pharaoh could not get replacement for Joseph, favour makes you irreplaceable and enhances your value. If you are not favoured whatever you produce or invent may not go far!
*Remember this* Heaven is real and hell is real. Run to Jesus today, and secure your eternal destiny.
