Memorise:
He that observeth the wind shall not sow; and he that regardeth the clouds
shall nor reap. Ecclesiastes 11:4
Read:
Ecclesiastes 11:1-6
There
is tremendous power in a seed. Each time you sow, you have a future to look
forward to. At least you will have expectation of yields. If you fail to sow,
you have nothing to look forward to.
In
the morning sow thy seed, and in the evening withhold not thine hand: for thou
knowest not whether shall prosper, either this or that, or whether they both
shall be alike good. Ecclesiastes 11:6
It
takes wisdom to continue to sow. Some people sow once into a project or need of
the church and then go to sleep. This is purely an act motivated by
insufficient knowledge. Find out if there is any farmer who sows once and goes
to sleep and never sows again, but expects continuous harvest. If you sow once,
you will take a once-and-for-all harvest. If you continue to sow, your harvests
will be multiplied. If you want a great future ahead of you and your family
then you must never stop sowing.
As
good as sowing may be, there are contrary circumstances that come to discourage
the sower from sowing. One of such factors is fear of the weather. The one who
focuses on the wind may think of the rain and therefore fail to sow. Today,
many people are observing the economic climate before deciding whether to sow
or not. The truth is that irrespective of the weather, your seed will give you
a good harvest if it is a good seed. Hence, you should sow during economic boom
and during economic recession. For instance, Isaac sowed during economic
recession and got the type of harvest that he never got before, which turned
him into the envy of the Philistines (Genesis 26:12-16). Some people also do
not sow because they think they are too much in need to sacrifice their seed.
The question is: If you make that sacrifice, will it kill you? If you eat the
seed, can it sustain you for a long time? If it cannot, then sow it in faith
and trust God for your harvest. Some are afraid of losing their seed. This fear
is justified if only you are sowing on the wrong soil or if the seed itself is
bad. Ask the Lord to guide you on the good grounds to sow into.
KEY
POINT
A
good seed, sown in good soil at a time of need will yield a bountiful harvest.
