Memorise: But this I say, He which soweth sparingly shall reap also sparingly; and he which soweth bountifully shall reap also bountifully. 2nd Corinthians 9:6
Read: Matthew 25:24-29 (KJV)
24 Then he which had received the one talent came and said, Lord, I knew thee that thou art an hard man, reaping where thou hast not sown, and gathering where thou hast not strawed:
25 And I was afraid, and went and hid thy talent in the earth: lo, there thou hast that is thine.
26 His lord answered and said unto him, Thou wicked and slothful servant, thou knewest that I reap where I sowed not, and gather where I have not strawed:
27 Thou oughtest therefore to have put my money to the exchangers, and then at my coming I should have received mine own with usury.
28 Take therefore the talent from him, and give it unto him which hath ten talents.
29 For unto every one that hath shall be given, and he shall have abundance: but from him that hath not shall be taken away even that which he hath.
AS REVEALED BY PASTOR E.A ADEBOYE IN TODAY’S DEVOTIONAL
1. God ordained seedtime and harvest not just to mark time, but as a life principle. He also gave varying degrees of talents to every human being as a form of heavenly investment.
2. God expects us to use our God given talents and abilities profitably.
3. if you plant maize, you can harvest it within three months, but if you plant yam, you will have to wait a little longer.
4. If you have sown quality seeds, give it time to mature, if you are impatient with your seed, you cannot obtain its full potentials.
5. It is wrong to expect a harvest from where you have not sown. Have you sown towards your desired harvest?
SHORT REFLECTION BY THE LIGHT POINTERS
Galatian 9:6 says “And let us not grow weary of doing good, for in due season we will reap, if we do not give up”. Have you devoted yourselves to sowing all kind of seeds which seems not to have germinated or yield any tangible result. We like to encourage you not to be weary in doing good, your season of reaping is just around the corner. However, in case you have been sowing without following the principles of giving, you may have to repent and follow the principle; start sowing without grumbling or complaining and start experiencing the power of God. Blessed be God for our father in the Lord Pastor E. A Adeboye for the great insight in today’s devotional. May he continually increase in strength and grace in Jesus’ name.
Prayer Point:
Father, please help me sow towards my desired harvest.
HYMN
1. O Jesus, I have promised
to serve thee to the end;
be thou forever near me,
my Master and my friend.
I shall not fear the battle
if thou art by my side,
nor wander from the pathway
if thou wilt be my guide.
2. O let me feel thee near me!
The world is ever near;
I see the sights that dazzle,
the tempting sounds I hear;
my foes are ever near me,
around me and within;
but Jesus, draw thou nearer,
and shield my soul from sin.
3. O let me hear thee speaking
in accents clear and still,
above the storms of passion,
the murmurs of self-will.
O speak to reassure me,
to hasten or control;
O speak, and make me listen,
thou guardian of my soul.
4. O Jesus, thou hast promised
to all who follow thee
that where thou art in glory
there shall thy servant be.
And Jesus, I have promised
to serve thee to the end;
O give me grace to follow,
my Master and my Friend.
