God's Secret Law Of Seed Time And Harvest

By: Ann Stewart
The Kingdom of God is like a grain of mustard seed which, when sown, grows into a big tree that produces shade and fruit for the birds. (Luke 13: 18-19)

To every man is given a measure of faith (Rom. 12: 3) If you have faith in God, everything you desire and declare out loud shall be done (Mark 11: 22 - 25) in the Name of the Lord. It pleases Him to give you the Kingdom.

The secret is to seek first the Kingdom of Heaven. That's the key. If you are saved, then the Kingdom of heaven is within you! It is yours to take! The world does not know this and cannot comprehend it because it's a spiritual truth.

But to you, Jesus says not to worry about what to eat and what to wear. After all, that's what the world is worrying about. But, if you put Him first, He will provide you with blessings to overflowing. (Luke 12: 29 - 31)

Are you giving Him your first fruits; i.e. your very best? In other words, do you praise Him, thank Him daily, forgive those who have hurt you, and freely and joyfully sow your tithes into His Kingdom?

When you give the best of your talents, your time, and the money which He provided in the first place, unconditionally, you will receive miracles. Then he will open the windows of heaven and pour out so many blessings that you won't have room enough to receive them! (Malachi 3: 10)

You see, it all has to do with the seed time and harvest. The whole Law of God is based on that. It started in Genesis 1 when God spoke the Word into the earth and it came to pass. No heavenly seed can come your way unless you first plant your earthly seed. That law is firm, like the law of gravity. It cannot change, but will always do what it is purposed to do!

Do not confuse the world's way of attracting riches with God's way!

"For my thoughts are not your thoughts, neither are your ways my ways, saith the Lord." (Isa. 56: 8)

The rain comes down from heaven and does not return there, but stays to perform its purpose: to give seed to the sower. So also shall God's Word not return to Him empty, but it shall accomplish what He pleases and purposed it for. (Isa. 56: 10 - 11)

He gives you the seed: your talents, the Word, His Holy Spirit, His Power working in you and guiding you in all things. As soon as you give back a portion of whatever it produces first, then He will multiply it.

It's all about your treasure; not what God can or should give to you! "Where you treasure is, there will your heart be also." (Luke 12: 29 - 34) What you give to Him and speak in faith will not return empty to you. If mixed with faith and your love for Him, it will be received in heaven and returned plentifully!

Then the thorn, or lack and worry which has been pricking you so severely, will be replaced by a fir tree, planted by the Lord. And He will receive the glory for it because you will know it was not accomplished in your own strength!

"Come unto me, all ye that labour and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest. Take my yoke upon you, and learn of me; for I am meek and lowly in heart; and ye shall find rest unto your souls. For my yoke is easy, and my burden is light." (Mat. 11: 28 - 29)

Take heed, therefore, not to put God in a box and try to acquire riches or anything else through means that are not in His Word. You cannot be double-minded. That brings confusion.

If you need wisdom, ask and it shall be given freely. But, ask "in faith, nothing wavering. For he that wavereth is like a wave of the sea driven with the wind and tossed. For let not that man think that he shall receive any thing of the Lord." (James 1: 5 - 7)
