THEME: WHAT MUST I DO TO RECEIVE FROM
GOD
MEMORISE:
If ye abide in me, and my words abide in
you, ye shall ask what ye will, and it shall be
done unto you. John 15:7
READ:
MARK 11:22-26
22 And Jesus answering saith unto them,
Have faith in God.
23 For verily I say unto you, That whosoever
shall say unto this mountain, Be thou
removed, and be
thou cast into the sea; and shall not doubt in
his heart, but shall believe that those things
which he
saith shall come to pass; he shall have
whatsoever he saith.
24 Therefore I say unto you, What things
soever ye desire, when ye pray, believe that
ye receive them, and ye shall have them.
25 And when ye stand praying, forgive, if ye
have ought against any: that your Father
also which is in heaven may forgive you
your trespasses.
26 But if ye do not forgive, neither will your
Father which is in heaven forgive your
trespasses.
MESSAGE
Children of God looking up to Him for
blessings
should learn that God has provided the
means of receiving abundant blessings from
Him. God has
also established a few laws, principles, rules
and regulations to govern the process. For
anyone to receive anything from God, the
fellow must at least have a relationship with
Him and must have faith in His love, mercy
and power to do whatever he is hoping to
get from Him.
We must be connected to God and abide in
Him before we can receive from Him.
Wisdom for financial breakthrough teaches
that: although God
gives seed to the sower, He also expects the
sower to sow and not eat the seed.
“Now He that ministers seed to the sower
both
minister bread for your food, and multiply
your
seed sown, and increase the fruits of your
righteousness;”
2 Corinthians 9:10
You must realize that there is no child of
God
without a seed. Now you may say, “I have
no
money and therefore I have nothing to
sow.” You are wrong. If you have no money,
you may have something more valuable than
money. Look in your hands, heart, intellect,
abilities, talents, time,
what you have in your house, your academic
training, your mouth to preach and win
souls, etc.
There is no one without a seed. When God
provides you with a financial blessing, say
your wage, salary or profit from a business,
that provision has a seed in it. If you spend
everything, you will harm yourself. The book
of John 12:24 says: “Verily, verily, I say unto
you, Except a corn of wheat fall into the
ground and die, it abideth alone: but if it die,
it bringeth forth much fruit.” That financial
provision; salary, wage, or profit
increase is some kind of harvest. God
expects that the harvest you take today will
give you a larger harvest tomorrow.
When you receive your
harvest, pay your tithe, sow your seeds and
spend the rest. The seed you sow, in the
process of time will be multiplied and will
fetch you bread. If
you don’t sow your seeds, they remain alone
but when you sow them, they will be given
an opportunity to say, “thank you for
parting with us”. They will give you a
harvest that will yet give you more seeds to
sow.
You can decide to keep your corn with you,
eat it and starve afterwards or sow it and
expect a harvest. Many believers today are
poor because
greed, gluttony, impatience, ignorance and
lack of faith made them eat their seeds
along with their
bread.
Now you know better, simply obey and
begin to experience increase on all sides. As
you begin to follow divine principles today,
you will witness an
extraordinary supply of His favour and
blessings in Jesus’ name.
PRAYER POINT:
Father, please give me the wisdom to
observe
divine principles in Jesus’ name
