He and the pilot were talking about how sandy and barren it was, suddenly he saw an area that was very small and perfectly square, but this area was different, it was overflowing with a lush and wonderful garden. The missionary asked the pilot what it was. The pilot explained that it was an area where the locals had attempted to drill down looking for water; they had indeed found a hidden river far beneath the sand. They left the hole open to see what would happen. Much to their surprise things began to grow. The missionary asked if they had planted seeds. The pilot responded that they had not planted seeds; the seeds that were far beneath the ground, which had been there for years and years, simply came up once they were watered.
It reminded me of the day that God told me He never forgets a seed. Once a seed is sown, it has a marvelous capability to produce a harvest, it only needs the correct conditions, conditions that are conducive to growth, in this area of Africa the only thing lacking was someone taking the time to dig down and find water.
The Bible says that whatever a man sows, so shall he reap. Once sown, reaping is a promise. However, I know from experience in the natural if you sow seeds in the ground and refuse to water them, they will die and produce nothing. I also know if you sow seeds in the ground and tend to them, watering them and keeping the weeds out, they will grow and produce the promised harvest.
Seeds need water. Many of you have a lot of seed in the ground over the years, financial seeds that you have sown and sown. I want you to take a look at your seeds today and see if they are getting the proper amount of water. It is important that we water the seeds we sow and we do that with the word of God. It will help you seeds to grow if you will speak the word of God over your seed and declare that they are producing the promised harvest.
The Bible says whatever you sow for the gospels sake you will receive 100 fold in this life. That means every dime you have sown into this ministry, for the gospels sake, you have a promised harvest of 100 fold return in this life. Water the seeds you have sown into this ministry and other ministries by speaking that promise over your seed.
God never forgets a seed. God does not lie. If He said it He will bring it to pass - however at times He needs our cooperation. Water your seed today.
This month I am speaking to every seed you have sown, praying over it, declaring God's word over it...watering it. I am going to continue to water it until you have a lush, bountiful harvest, just like the missionary saw in Africa. Every seed you have planted will come up with the right conditions and I believe God is saying 'water your seed.' Therefore, we are going to water your seed.
Friends, nothing is ever lost in God. Those seeds you sowed years ago are still viable. They are still able to produce fruit and we are going to speak to them and water them until they produce fruit. Will you join us?
It is time for the Body of Christ to enjoy the good life Jesus died to give them and part of that is financial, if you have sown...YOU SHALL REAP. It is your time to reap!
