REJOICING WHILE SOWING


Bible Reading: 2 CORINTHIANS 9:5-7

Text: "Blessed are you who sow beside all waters, who send out S freely the feet of the ox and the donkey". (Isa. 32:20).


COMMENTARY

God has indeed bestowed His blessings on His people, opening His hand to provide for their physical and spiritual needs. Lavishly, He has granted rain, sun shine, health, and strength. The book of Isaiah uses concrete language to describe the prosperity and peaceful life of the New Testament church under the leadership of the Messiah. The Israelites will "sow beside all waters," that is, in fertile valleys, where a good harvest is assured. The abundance will be so great that their domesticated animals will be released from hard work to roam freely and eat their fill.

The phrase "clothing and shoes, meat and drink, house and home, wife, husband and children, field and cattle and all my goods" is also attributed to Martin Luther. His spiritual gifts are his greatest assets. He grants us heavenly peace and the certain forgiveness of our sins via His Son, Jesus Christ. God can be compared to a divine sower who abundantly plants the seed of His Word in our hearts.

Not only are we fortunate to receive God's blessings, but we are also His tools to "sow" and spread them to others by gospel preaching and practice.

Prayer Points:

1. Father, I yield myself as an instrument for you to use in casting thy seed in Jesus name. Amen.

 2. May I identify the area in which you want me to cast thy seed in Jesus name.

3.Thank you Father for lavishing your blessings upon me in Jesus name. Amen.

THE GOD OF COVENANT

  Bible Reading : Exodus 2:23-25 Text : "He remembers his covenant forever, the word He commended, for a thousand generation" (Ps. 105:8). NIV COMMENTARY : The Israelites spent 430 years in Egypt. The earlier part of this period was spent in joy; when the Pharaohs that knew Joseph were on the throne. But the later part was in agony; when the Pharaoh that knew not Joseph reigned, their suffering was so unbearable that they cried unto God, and the Bible says; "God heard their groaning and remembered and remembered his covenant with Abraham, Isaac and Jacob (Exo. 2:24, 25). God heard their groaning but what moved him was the covenant. Listen! Your name, tears, knowledge, experience or wealth may not move God but covenant does. You can maintain your covenant with God by walking blamelessly and constantly putting Him in remembrance of the covenant which is the scripture.. As you are about to sleep tonight, I prophesy to you that this year's covenant is moving God for your...

EQUIPPED FOR SPIRITUAL ARMOR

Bible Reading : Ephesians 6:10-13 Text : Eph. 6:12 "For we do not wrestle against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this age, against spiritual hosts of wickedness in the heavenly places". (NKJV) COMMENTARY Every Christian is in a combat field. The conflict is spiritual. When you succeed spiritually, the physical is a work over. The spiritual governs the physical. We are grateful that God provided for our combat weapons rather than abandoning us helplessly. Read More...

GIVE GENEROUSLY

Image
Bible Reading : 11 Corinthians 9:6-12 Text : 2 Corinthians 9:6 "But this I say: He who sows sparingly will also reap sparingly, and he who sows bountifully will also reap bountifully".(NKJV) COMMENTARY Simply put, sparingly implies giving very little compared to what you already have. Giving must be done sacrificially to produce results. That is a generous donation. Giving that doesn't affect you isn't a plentiful seed; a bountiful seed hurts the giver but moves God. When you give to God's work or someone who is unable to repay you, miracles happen.. Read More
