“EVEN AS YOU SEE HARVEST, KEEP SOWING; THE PLOWMAN SHALL OVERTAKE THE REAPER!”
The othermorning the Lord spoke to me about harvest and greatly encouraged me; Hisanointing brought a fresh measure of faith to press forward and plow, sow andreap, and He wants me to share it with those who have grown a little weary inthe battle!
He has beenreminding me of the economy of His Kingdom. We all know the word of God hasmany scriptures about sowing and reaping; not just in financial things, but inevery area of our lives as we choose to sow into the spirit or the flesh. We willbring forth a harvest because of the principle of multiplication. We are underattack and it sometimes seems the enemy is winning, but the Lord says He hasheard our prayers and seen our sowing into the Kingdom; there is a mightyoutpouring of harvest that will become a sweeping revival as we continue to sowinto the Spirit, during harvest!
The Lordoften speaks to me through nature. I love to garden, and the principle of multiplicationand exponential increase is apparent in nature. One seed produces a plant thatbears many seeds for multiplication. An apple has between 5-13 seeds; a matureapple tree can bear 300 apples in a season. This brings 1500 seeds which, ifplanted, would produce 450,000 apples bearing 2,250,000 seeds! God’s economy ismultiplication and exponential increase!
Jesus tellsus that the mustard seed is the smallest of all herbs, but is the largest whenfully grown.
"ThenHe said, "To what shall we liken the kingdom of God? Or with what parableshall we picture it? "It is like a mustard seed which, when it is sown onthe ground, is smaller than all the seeds on earth; "but when it is sown,it grows up and becomes greater than all herbs, and shoots out large branches,so that the birds of the air may nest under its shade."" (Mark4:30-32 NKJV)
There are 200,000brown mustard seeds per pound, and each pound yields a hundred-fold return of 20,000,000seeds!
Theprinciple of multiplication and exponential increase applies to every area ofour lives. What we sow we will reap in multiplied numbers. We will reap from how we use the gifts God hasgiven us to sow into others (Matt. 25:14-30); how we sow our finances (2 Cor.9:5-10); and in the words we speak. DeclaringGod’s word brings forth exponential increase to His Kingdom (Is. 55:10-11).
According toFundersandfounders.com, the average person over the course of his or herlifetime, has the opportunity to impact 80,000 people. If we touched each withthe presence of God, and they each did the same, the impact would be incrediblefor the Kingdom. Be encouraged at the thought of all those you have alreadytouched with the Spirit of the Living God, but don’t stop now!
The Lord is exhorting us to continue; trust He is working even as weare bombarded with negative reports from the enemy. God is doing a mighty work!He is answering our prayers, and fruit is continually being developed forreaping from what we sow. He says, see the fields white for harvest (John 4:35)!All that has been sown faithfully is in acceleration, and there is available tous a continuum of exponential increase. We are in the day of the plowman overtakingthe reaper. A mightyrevival is coming forth; continue to plow and sow, for a continual flow! Thosemountains that seem impossible shall become outcroppings of overflow of theSpirit of the Living God, and the hills will melt as the fat of the olivesrendered into anointing oil!
“Behold, the days come, saith the LORD, that the plowman shall overtake the reaper, and the treader of grapes him that soweth seed; and the mountains shall drop sweet wine, and all the hills shall melt.” (Amos 9:13, KJV)
