“GATHER” means effort; work. It means you will take physical steps to do something. Some people have received divine ideas to make wealth and have done nothing about it. And yet, they will complain about the economic situation of the country. They complain of not having enough money. “Not enough” is not in God’s dictionary. He is a more than enough God, the all breasty one. Just imagine a nursing mother that the two breasts are filled with milk, it is flowing uncontrollably and she is looking for the baby to come and suck for relief. That is how God is, so loaded, waiting for His children to come and take some more.
You gather to take what God gives to you. If you don’t take it, it will be there. God is not emotional; He is not going to help you to make it. You’ve got to pick it yourself.
Gathering and walking in the abundance God has promised does not start with doing something, it starts with a change of mindset. You must know that you have a right to succeed and abound first of all. Abundance is your portion. God has given them per time. At times it may be wisdom or physical resources that God gives. He may give it to you directly, through the work of your hands or through somebody. Reject limitation and reduction. Gather what God gives.
Ruth went to glean on the field of Boaz (Text: Ruth 2:1-end) and when she got there, there were 4 categories of people she met. The world is the field and these four categories of men are on the harvest field:
1. The owner: Boaz was the owner. You don’t see Boaz gathering anything. Everything there is His. God is the Owner.
2. The reapers: they were taking charge of the field for him. The bible calls the angels reapers.
3. The gleaner: the poor people that go to the field and pick up things after the reapers. They pack the leftovers and it is still not enough for them.
4. The children of the owner: this just go to Daddy’s field to just see what is happening..
The status of each person on the harvest field determines the audacity they have to take harvest. Boaz was the owner, so he could give them the command “Let her drink from the vessel the young men have drawn. Let her take as much as she wants and let no man stop her. Drop some handfuls for her on purpose. The owner says he has given it to you and you know you are the son of the owner. You have access and right, a God ordained right to everything God has. Jesus is our Joint Heir. Everything God has, you have. It’s your right. You are not trying to plead or beg. The son does not even need the permission of the reapers. It’s his father’s. So there is no reason for you to be in lack or want.
