MEMORIAL SEED (2)

Memorial seed has been part of the things that makes God get involved in people’s life in a special way. Noah made a sacrifice unto the Lord, immediately after the flood. That made God to promise that he will never destroy the whole world again with the flood and God blessed him. The blessing came unto him, to cancel the curse that was already on the surface of the earth.

Also, Solomon did the same; he gave a special seed to God (a thousand cattle for sacrifice). God responded promptly and gave him a blank cheque for life.

This contributed significantly to him becoming the wealthiest King in the whole world in his generation. Do you want blessings in your life, and divine involvement? Respond to a memorial seed, which may be in a time that God appears to have a need?  You can exempt yourself from the curse and enjoy the blessing, through a memorial seed.

Gal 6:7 “Be not deceived; God is not mocked: for whatsoever a man soweth, that shall he also reap”.

I want you to please note this: the law of God’s kingdom is sowing and reaping. When God wants to bring certain things your way he gives a seed which will later became a harvest in the form of that thing which you want. The problem however is that many times when the Lord sends us the seed; we consume it and as such do not have enough for the present and nothing for the future. You can liken it to a farmer who plants just a few seeds of corn but when the harvests come, you are unable to compare the harvests with the seed.

I want you to pray at this time that God will open your eyes, so you can recognize your seed. So that you will not consume what God has given to you as your seed. I want to show you two things that will happen to a person who sows his seed in season

Fruitfulness:

He will be fruitful; he will be able to produce positive results. It doesn’t matter how tight, it doesn’t matter how tough, he will produce positive results, if he’s in business he will produce positive results, if he’s in ministry, he’ll produce positive results, if he’s in academics, he will produce positive results.

Multiplication:

He will multiply. Able to multiply what he has, not just remain on the same level. The law of sowing and reaping guarantees that the harvest will be much more than the seed. So when you see a man walking in abundance, it is because he has multiplied what he has and his little beginnings have become great.

Let me tell you this; when something is too small for you to satisfy a need, turn in to a seed. The harvest that will come will be more than enough to satisfy you and every other person that may have that same need. That was what happened to the widow whose husband was one of the sons of the prophet. 2 King 4:1 – 6.  This is not to say that you sow a seed only when things are tight or not enough, to ensure continuous harvests you must keep on sowing just as you keep on going to work no matter how good your salary currently is. I pray for you that whenever you have resources at your disposal, you will recognize the seed and sow it appropriately that you may not go into famine in Jesus name.

A MEMORIAL SEED

TEXT: Acts 10:1-4, Psalm 20:1-3

God expects people to sow memorial seeds in their life that will speak into their future and make God to get especially interested and involved in their case. It was the offering of Abel that gave Him a testimony and made him enter the list of the hall of faith in Heb 11:4. God wants you to sow memorial seeds that will make him to get involved in your affairs, fight your battles and stand for all that is yours.

Cornelius’ salvation was specially arranged because of his memorial seed, even when it was not time for the Gentiles to enjoy the salvation. He also enjoyed angelic visitation and involvement in his life, making things happen for him in an unusual way. His offerings came up for a memorial in heaven.

There are many examples in the scriptures of the people that sowed memorial seeds and the harvest gave them an unusual advantage in life. It exonerates them from the wickedness and onslaught of the devil on the earth. The Shunamnite in II Kings 4:8-end, Abraham on Mount Moriah in Genesis 22:1-18.

Gen. 8:22 While the earth remaineth, seedtime and harvest, and cold and heat, and summer and winter, and day and night shall not cease

There is always a seedtime before harvest. Don’t miss your seedtime. Let God show you what you need to lay down in order to be peculiarly remembered for what you cannot do by yourself.

The issue of memorial seed has been to so many, a matter of life and death. There are people that have suffered serious losses in life because they missed their seed time. Everything about the kingdom is in seed and harvest form.

God allowed Elijah the prophet to pass through the Shunamite’s house and she perceived that he is a man of God. Her heart moved to make the man of God comfortable, even when he didn’t make mention of it or give impression that there is a need.

She sowed a memorial seed, of a comfortable room and meals to the man of God. This spoke into her future. God knew that the devil will attack in the nearest future and He gave her an opportunity to sow the seed. So that when the devil attacked the only son whom the anointing had supernaturally provided, the anointing was in place to intervene. She had multiple harvests to her seed – Baby in old age, dead child raised back to life, advanced supernatural information, divine arrangement of favour, full restoration of her things.

She also enjoyed divine exemption of the famine that came upon the land for 7 years and restoration of her possessions when she returned.

Don’t miss your sowing time, when the Lord is moving your heart to bless the anointed. Don’t hesitate; it is because of you, not because of him/her. His God is enough for him but God want to get involved in your case. Ravens were bringing food for Elijah, and he was drinking from brook Cherith before God sent him to the widow woman that God want to help and preserve from famine and death. Her last meal was her seed, thank God she sowed it and it became the first.

Take time to put something heavy before the Lord, it will speak for you in due time.

LEARN HOW TO GATHER WHAT GOD HAS GIVEN YOU. Text: Ps. 104:28

“That thou givest them they gather: thou openest thine hand, they are filled with good.”

“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 the more than enough God, the all breasty one. Just imagine a nursing mother that has the two breasts full 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.

Your Right to Gather (Ruth 2:1-end)

It is important for Christians to know that they have a right to gather. We are not beggars but sons; therefore we own whatever the Father owns. The problem however is that many Christians have not risen to the responsibilities of sons in the kingdom hence they cannot lay hold of the privileges. Let us see the example of Ruth.

Ruth went to glean on the field of Boaz 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.

PEOPLE ON YOUR ROAD TO DESTINY (2)

No two different tools are made the same way

Last week we started looking at people on your road to destiny. Today we will continue on that subject and I pray that the Lord will give you understanding in Jesus name.

The process needed to make a “Saw” or a “Hammer” is different even though both tools are carpentry tools. They are not fashioned the same way. They go through two different processes. This is the same with you and any another person. God did not create two different people to be the same. This is the reason why he gave us different parents. Even siblings of the same parents don’t come out exactly the same; they each in themselves are unique.

The greatness of your future is seen in the present demands of God on you. The experience you are having indicates the future God has for you. Stop desiring other people’s experiences. Let your own help you develop into greatness. God prepares you to be stronger than anything that will come to you in your future. The 3 Hebrew boys were stronger than the fire before it came. Take note therefore of the things God is presently allowing you to go through now.

It is to prepare you for the future. God supplies the ability to overcome before the test shows up. Therefore you don’t need to compare yourself with other people because your road in destiny is not the same. Whilst going through challenges & trying situations that your friends or colleagues may not going through understand that your paths are different. Settle down with God and let him equip you through his program for you. Perhaps, your parents are not able to take care of you. You don’t need to be offended, know that they have done their job by birthing you. Look up to God. He is your source. Don’t let that provoke you to speak negative words against them. Honour their contribution into your life in everything you do. Even if you feel your parents are evil and are responsible for some setbacks and exposing you to some satanic battles and wickedness. Look to God and fight the devil but honour your natural parents. You will eventually realize that they supplied something to your journey. It is well.

Those who are jealous of your future (Genesis 37:39, 40=44)

There are some personalities or people on your road to destiny that you must be aware are jealous of your future. For Joseph these were his brothers. Those who are jealous of your destiny are most likely people who are familiar with your history. Note those people familiar with your history; they may be jealous of you do not be naive. Only those who have a part with you in destiny may not be jealous and you must not deny them because it cost something not to be jealous. Joseph’s brothers were determined not to let his dreams come true; they were poised to destroy his future. Really to be jealous is the response of the natural carnal man.

Even Jesus’ brothers rose to oppose him. David’s brothers also rose up against him, he was sent to them on the battle field where he encountered and defeated Goliath. Jesus also could not do any miracles or signs among those who were familiar with his history. He could only do few things among them. Their estimation of him was low. Familiarity robs and kills Christians around the anointing.

Don’t be intimidated by those familiar with your history who are fighting and opposing your future don’t blame them, that simply is the response of natural men to familiarity. They are blind to the greatness in you and want to fight you. Focus on what God has predestined you for. Most likely your destiny will happen around people who don’t really know you I mean those who are not familiar with your history.
