Seven Hindrances To Abundant Harvest

What can stop your abundant harvest after you have planted your seeds? Have you ever planted and reaped little? It is not enough to just sow for you to reap a harvest. There are other factors to consider if you want a bountiful harvest. This article lists things to watch out for if you are to receive a great return.

But this I say, He which soweth sparingly shall reap also sparingly; and he which soweth bountifully shall reap also bountifully – 2 Corinthians 9:6

It is God’s heart desire to bless us abundantly. But like a farmer, abundant harvest neither comes by wishing it nor by scattering seeds without focus. A farmer diligently prepares for a bountiful harvest by the conscious steps he takes. He watches out for any hindrance to his desired returns and takes care of them. Do you desire great returns? Then watch out for the following hindrances:

Hindrances to abundant harvest

1.       No or insufficient planted seeds

Seeds stored and not planted will yield nothing. It is only when you sow that you can expect a harvest. Sow nothing and reap nothing. Also, the more the seeds you sow the more the harvest you can expect. Therefore, sow in the morning, noon and evening, any opportunity you have sow and expect your harvest. Read more...

How Ready Are You

Are you ready for what must surely come? We are always preparing for good or bad consciously or unconsciously. That we will leave this earth one day indeed is a life truth. The question is “how ready are you?

Take us the foxes, the little foxes, that spoil the vines: for our vines have tender grapes - SOS 2:15

Again, When a righteous man doth turn from his righteousness, and commit iniquity, and I lay a stumbling-block before him, he shall die: because thou hast not given him warning, he shall die in his sin, and his righteousness which he hath done shall not be remembered; but his blood will I require at thine hand – Ezekiel 3:20 (Emphasis is mine)

Recently, in one week, I watched 2 programmes talking about people’s readiness for eternity without my planning for it. It got my mind racing. I had to examine and re-examine myself.

In one account, a Pastor died and had the privilege of seeing both heaven and hell. At the end the angel accompanying him told him that, had he not asked for God’s mercy and forgiveness before dying, hell would have been his judgement. The Pastor tried to refute it, claiming to be a pastor and to have preached about heaven and hell. But the angel reminded him that prior to his accident he quarrelled with wife and had not forgiven her.

The life truth is that many people may not have the last minute opportunity to ask for forgiveness before dying like the Pastor. He may have been very ready before the quarrel. Last minute disobedience can cost you a place in heaven. How ready are you? Read more...

How to Walk Into Every New Month

How do you secure a fruitful, peaceful and joyous new month? It starts with a good beginning. A solid foundation ensures a solid building. You deserve to enjoy every new month.

Psalm 11:3 says, “If the foundations be destroyed, what can the righteous do?” It is important to start well in order to end well. How you walk into a new month really matters.

How to walk into a fresh month

• Count your blessings

Many people start the month with what has not been accomplished fully occupied in their minds. This disorganises the month for them. They are worried and depressed. Sometimes it affects their relationship with people. Performance at work inevitably is affected. They will end up not seeing any good coming their way.

Count your blessings and name them one by one. It is very crucial to cast your mind to the past month and consciously recount every good that came your way, including the fact that you are alive and every favour you enjoyed, no matter how little. It is best to put them down if you can, because the long list will push away any worries and build your faith for the new month. Read more...
