WHAT MUST I DO TO RECEIVE FROM GOD
Memorise: If ye abide in me, and my words abide in you, ye shall ask
what ye will, and it shall be done unto you. John 15:7
Read: Mark 11:22-26, 22 And Jesus answering saith unto them, Have faith in God.
23 For verily I say unto you, That
whosoever shall say unto this mountain, Be thou removed, and be thou cast into
the sea; and shall not doubt in his heart, but shall believe that those things
which he saith shall come to pass; he shall have whatsoever he saith.
24 Therefore I say unto you, What things
soever ye desire, when ye pray, believe that ye receive them, and ye shall have
them.
25 And when ye stand praying, forgive, if
ye have ought against any: that your
Father also which is in heaven may forgive you your trespasses.
26 But if ye do not forgive, neither will
your Father which is in heaven forgive your trespasses.

20:4-17
MESSAGE
Children of God looking up to Him
for blessings should learn that God has provided the means of receiving
abundant blessings from Him. God has also established a few laws, principles,
rules and regulations to govern the process. For anyone to receive anything
from God, the fellow must at least have a relationship with Him and must have
faith in His love, mercy and power to do whatever he is hoping to get from Him.
We must be connected to God and
abide in Him before we can receive from Him. Wisdom for financial breakthrough
teaches that: although God gives seed to the sower, He also expects the sower
to sow and not eat the seed.
“Now He
that ministers seed to the sower both minister bread for your food, and
multiply your seed sown, and increase the fruits of your righteousness;”
2nd
Corinthians 9:10
You must realize that there is no
child of God without a seed. Now you may say, “I have no money and therefore I
have nothing to sow.” You are wrong. If you have no money, you may have
something more valuable than money. Look in your hands, heart, intellect,
abilities, talents, time,
what you have in your house, your academic training,
your mouth to preach and win souls, etc. There is no one without a seed. When
God provides you with a financial blessing, say your wage, salary or profit
from a business, that provision has a seed in it. If you spend everything, you
will harm yourself. The book of John 12:24 says:
“Verily,
verily, I say unto you, Except a corn of wheat fall into the ground and die, it
abideth alone: but if it die, it bringeth forth much fruit.”
That financial provision; salary,
wage, or profit increase is some kind of harvest. God expects that the harvest
you take today will give you a larger harvest tomorrow. When you receive your
harvest, pay your tithe, sow your seeds and spend the rest. The seed you sow,
in the process of time will be multiplied and will fetch you bread. If you
don’t sow your seeds, they remain alone but when you sow them, they will be
given an opportunity to say, “thank you for parting with us”. They will give
you a harvest that will yet give you more seeds to sow.
You can decide to keep your corn
with you, eat it and starve afterwards or sow it and expect a harvest. Many
believers today are poor because greed, gluttony, impatience, ignorance and
lack of faith made them eat their seeds along with their bread.
Now you know better, simply obey
and begin to experience increase on all sides. As you begin to follow divine
principles today, you will witness an extraordinary supply of His favour and
blessings in Jesus’ name.
Prayer Point
Father, please give me the wisdom to observe divine principles in
Jesus’ name
