Title: Seed time and harvest.

“While the earth remaineth, seedtime and harvest, and cold and heat, 

and summer and winter, and day and night shall not cease.”‭‭Genesis‬ ‭8:22‬ ‭KJV‬‬.

The principle of sowing and reaping is a critical principle

 which every child of God should know, understand and practice. 

Notice it is a universal principle on which the earth is founded- based on the earth remaining,

 while the earth exists a seed time  will be followed by a harvest time.

Point of Reflection:

His word declares:

 “Give, and it will be given to you: good measure, pressed down, shaken together, 

and running over will be put into your bosom. 

For with the same measure that you use, it will be measured back to you.” Luke‬ ‭6:38‬ ‭NKJV‬‬.

“Cast your bread upon the waters, For you will find it after many days.

Give a serving to seven, and also to eight, For you do not know what evil will be on the earth.

He who observes the wind will not sow, And he who regards the clouds will not reap.”‭‭Ecclesiastes‬ ‭11:1-2, 4‬ ‭NKJV‬‬.

“Do not be deceived, God is not mocked; for whatever a man sows, that he will also reap.” ‭‭Galatians‬ ‭6:7‬ ‭NKJV‬‬. 

The principle of sowing and reaping is a universal principle and applies to everything you do. 

Whenever you add value to someone you have sown a seed.

 Every interaction you do with people is an opportunity to sow a seed.

 Seeds of love, seeds of encouragement, seeds of giving gifts, money and so forth.

 Every job you do is an opportunity to sow a seed, at the end of an agreed period you reap a reward, 

education is an opportunity to sow seeds of knowledge into yourself 

 which you would later use to sow into other people's lives to reap a  reward of business, salary and so forth.

 Please understand however that in the work of God, you can also sow seeds of your substance, time, ministry, love, care and so forth.

 Almighty God promises to give you back multiplied a hundred fold.

Please note - no other form of investment can match the hundred fold promise.

 His word says: “So Jesus answered and said, 'Assuredly, I say to you, there is no one who has left 

house or brothers or sisters or father or mother or wife or children or lands, for My sake and the gospel’s, 

who shall not receive a hundredfold now in this time—houses and brothers and sisters and mothers

 and children and lands, with persecutions—and in the age to come, eternal life.'"‭‭Mark‬ ‭10:29-30‬ ‭NKJV‬‬.

So as you have opportunity sow seed in the gospel.

Do you desire to commit yourself to be a sower?

His word says: “But this I say: He who sows sparingly will also reap sparingly, 

and he who sows bountifully will also reap bountifully.”‭‭ 2 Corinthians‬ ‭9:6‬ ‭NKJV‬‬.

When you are ready-

Prayer of consecration:

Heavenly Father, in the name of Jesus Christ, I thank you for redemption through the blood shed on the cross. 

I acknowledge the risen Jesus Christ as my Lord.

 I reject, renounce, denounce and rebuke every working of the enemy satan and his demons upon my life.

 I consecrate and set my life apart to serve you alone Lord.

 Thank you for your promises that as I sow into the work of the ministry I receive back multiplied a hundred fold

 according to your promises.

 I commit myself to a life of sowing and reaping according to your promises.

 I present your people across Planet Earth and pray for a spirit of revelation and wisdom

 in the working of Almighty God as they sow seeds of their substance into the gospel, 

and as they sow their time and their lives into the work of the ministry.

 In the name of Jesus Christ I pray. Amen.

Robert Kiyosaki- Cash Flow Quadrant

Robert Kiyosaki- Rich Dad, Poor Dad

The Year in Focus: Best wishes for the  New Year 2024, the Year of the Builder of the House of God. The year in which Almighty God is releasing the grace you need to complete the work He has started in your life.

Witnessing the love of Jesus Christ-increasing your reach, teaching and making disciples, building lives in Jesus Christ

as you pray and intercede for salvation of souls and for boots on the ground, as we give 

 substance to build physical churches across the nations.

This grace is powered by the seven fold anointings of the dominion of the Christ; The Spirit of the Lord, the Spirit of Wisdom, The Spirit of Knowledge, 

The Spirit of Understanding (Revelation), the Spirit of Might, the Spirit of Counsel and the Spirit of the Obedient and Reverential Fear of the Lord.

In this year the Lord is declaring: "This is the word of the Lord to Zerubbabel: 'Not by power or by might but by my Spirit says the Lord of Hosts. 

Who are you, O great mountain? Before Zerubbabel you shall become a plain! And He shall bring forth the capstone with shouts of grace, grace to it.'" Zechariah 4:6-7.

You have been laying a foundation, but now is the time to complete the building. You need to tackle obstacles, whatever form or nature they come.

Your weapons are: a) Constantly releasing the grace of God, the favour of Almighty God, releasing the help of God. See also Acts 26:22-23.

b) Releasing the word of God, standing on His promises- not by power or by might but by My Spirit says the Lord of Hosts. Speak God's faithfulness; 

God's victory over the enemy, God's blessing upon your life- as you work for God you are a blessed person. (Numbers 23:8, 19-21; Isaiah 46:9-11; Isaiah 14:24-26, Psalms 89:1-35).

c) Allow the continual working of the Holy Spirit upon your life. Make the Holy Spirit your companion, your Helper, Comforter, Standby, Guide, Intercessor, Advocate, Counselor, Strengthner

What you need to know:

1. Almighty God desires you to finish the work He has started through you.

In this year Almighty God is releasing for you the grace to complete what he has started through you. He says "The hands of Zerubbabel have laid the foundation stone of this temple, 

His hands shall also finish it." Zechariah 4:9.

The foundation has been laid and now is time to finish the building.

Jesus said: “It is finished.”John 19:20. He was a finisher, He finished.

 Apostle Paul of Tarsus, said “I have fought the good fight, I have finished the race, I have kept the faith”. 2 Timothy 4:7. He ran and finished. So did the other apostles and the other believers.

2. You need continuous cry for grace from the fullness of Jesus Christ (John 1:16), you need grace and peace to be multiplied to you (1 Peter 1:1-2). See also 1Timothy 6:12.

3. Remember the race is completed at the finishing line.

What you need to understand:

1. Almighty God accomplishes His mission by the operation of the seven fold anointings of dominion which declares: Not by power nor by might but by My Spirit says the Lord, 

who are you O great mountain, before Zerubbabel you shall become a plain! Zechariah 4:6-7.

2. While you need all seven candles burning, in this year the spearhead cry is the Spirit of Revelation. That God in Jesus Christ may reveal Himself to you, 

and that He may reveal the plans He has for you, to you, that He may reveal to you the path you need to take to reach your intended destination.

Activities of 2024: where the rubber hits the road:

a) Cry for Almighty God to reveal Himself to you. In Jeremiah 33:3 He says: Call into Me and I will answer you and show you great and mighty things,

 (hidden and fenced in things) you do not know. (AMP) Let Him reveal to you the excellence of the knowledge of Jesus Christ. (Phillipians 3:8-10, Ephesians 1:15-22)

b) Cry for God to reveal to you the things He has prepared for you, the future He has prepared for you, the plan He has for you: 

But as it is written: “Eye has not seen, nor ear heard, nor have entered into the heart of man the things which God has prepared for those who fear Him.” 

But God has revealed them to us through His Spirit. For the Spirit searches all things, yes, the deep things of God. 1 Corinthians 2:9-10.

c) Cry grace for holiness- you need to be in His presence. Seek holiness without which no man shall see God. (Hebrews 12:14). Seeing God here is experiencing Him. See also Matthew 5:8; Leviticus 11:44-45

d) Cry grace for building the house of God- grace for witnessing Jesus Christ, ministering and building up people, grace for intercessory prayer, 

grace to be a faithful steward of substance, the mysteries of God and the time God has given to you.

e) Be word conscious- this is the word of God to Zerubbabel asking who are you O great mountain, before Zerubbabel you shall be a plain. 

Whatever obstacle may be standing in your way, be it financial. human instruments or circumstantial- declare the word and command it to become a plain.

f) Be Holy Spirit conscious- the seven candles are powered by the Holy Spirit. Jesus Christ said I will not leave you helpless, comfortless or orphaned,

 but I will give you another Helper, Comforter, Standby, Intercessor, Advocate, Strengthener, Counselor, Guide and Teacher that He may remain with you forever. (John 14:15- 18 AMP).

g) Be in prayer- pray for the servants of God, pray all manner of prayers.

In this year you need to move to a higher intensity of prayer, a higher gear in your prayer life. See also Ephesians 6:18.

We love you as we invite you to be counted among the builders of the house of God in 2024 and beyond. As you move to your finishing line, 

as you put on your own capstone with shoutings of grace, grace to it. We are praying for you and wish you a 2024 filled with the victory that comes from God.

Apostle Dr Max and Joyce Matonhodze.
