When you sow apple seeds, you get apples. When you sow seeds of friendship, you get friends. If in the natural, you receive in the area in which you sow, how much more will you receive in the supernatural when God blesses you!
The Bible tells us that when Isaac sowed in the land, he reaped a hundredfold even though there was a famine in that land (see Genesis 26:1). The reason was that “the Lord blessed him.”
So if you are believing God for a breakthrough in a particular area, sow in that area. A brother wrote a note to me at a conference I was preaching at in London. He shared with me how he was one of only two employees promoted in his department and given a substantial increase in his salary despite the economic downturn in England and rentrenchment exercise at his workplace. The sum of his salary was "more than 10 times" what he had sowed into God's kingdom at the same conference the year before. It could only be the Lord blessing him. And He “is able to do exceedingly abundantly above all that we ask or think” (Ephesians 3:20).
Whatever money or time you give to the Lord, He will multiply it back to you. For example, you have 24 hours a day like everyone else, but the Lord can make your day very fruitful. And even after doing all that needs to be done, you will find that you still have time left to rest.
Even when you have nothing to give but prayers, your prayers will not return to you void. God can answer them exceedingly above what you have asked. When Job lost everything that he possessed, he prayed for his friends, and the Lord not only restored his losses, but He also “gave Job twice as much as he had before” (Job 42:10).
So start sowing seeds in the area that you are believing God for, and know that before long, you will be reaping your harvest!
"I'M HERE TO TELL YOU" EDITOR'S NOTE
More than you think, that's what the bible says. God is able to do exceeding abundantly above all that we ask or think! Wow! The bible says that that's - according to the power that works in us. And just before that it says that we [may] know the love of Christ which surpasses knowledge. So, there's power that works in us, and that power can do more than we could ever even think. Also that that power is to know the love of Christ which is far more that we could know. This seems a little hard to understand. It seems that we have to just trust that there is a power at work in our lives that will do far more for us than we could ever know. Yeah, that about sums it up. God is powerful, He loves us and He is taking care of business. Since all this is beyond our control, should just give up? Yep! Give up and give in to God and let the love of His Son and His Son's finished work transform your life from one of strife to one of peace. Today, relax, let God be God, see Him working in the world and in your life and thank Him so much for what He does because He does more than you know.
