-Pastor Matthew Ashimolowo at Morning Glow, KICC on ‘THE SEASON OF HARVEST’ (Part 4)
Praise the Lord!
This is the day the Lord has made, we will rejoice and be glad in it. Welcome to another time in the presence of the Lord. Welcome to Morning Glow. We celebrate our God, out Saviour, our Master. We celebrate the God of faithfulness without injustice. We celebrate the One who was and is and is to come. We celebrate the One whose name is Yahweh, He is El-Shaddai, He is Elyon, He is Adonai.
We celebrate the One who is the God of convenant, the convenant keeping God, the God who cannot lie, the God who cannot change. Church Gist. The God with whom nothing is impossible. We magnify Him today because all glory belongs to Him, all praise belongs to Him from the rising of the sun to the going down of it.
Psalm 150.
Heavenly Father we give glory, we give praise to Your name. Thank You for the opportunity to gather together again from all the four corners of the earth. We worship and bless Your name. Minister to Your people today. Let this morning be special. Lift our spirits up, cause us to be able to truly magnify You. We come into Your presence with expectations. We thank You we shall not be disappointed. Your name will be glorified in Jesus name.
Amen.
Welcome to Morning Glow, welcome to the presence of your Father, God. Welcome to a time when the Lord will truly touch you, minister to you and make you to have reasons to praise Him.
Father, this time we pray over South Africa one more time that Your peace will reign and all the riots will come to an end in the name of Jesus.
If you are joining us for the first time, we have been prophesying into our lives, harvest, harvest, harvest. KICC, this is the month of ready-harvest. John 4:35 – ready, it is ready and as the Lord lives, that ready-harvest, you are coming into it, you are walking into it, you are been blessed by it in the mighty name of Jesus.
- This morning, may you experience the harvest of God.
Yesterday, I began to encourage you on ‘How do you step into the harvest that God has for you?’ The first step is to learn to sow seed for your harvest. You can’t have a harvest if there was no seed. Church Gist. The more the seeds, the more the harvests. The lesser the seeds, the lesser the harvests. Many things are connected to my seed, as long as earth remains, seed time and harvest, they shall not cease. 7.9 billon people on earth, it is seedtime that makes all 7.9 people to be able to eat because there is a harvest. You cannot replace food with anything else. Praise God. So there must be a sowing of the seed for the harvest.
Secondly, there must be an aggressiveness about reaping your harvest. Some people have an habit, an attitude; ‘well, I just love to just give, even if I don’t receive’. Hey, there is no farmer who goes to the farm and plant and say, ‘I don’t want to go back there and harvest, no need. I just needed to fulfill the law of sowing’. No, every farmer who sow seed goes back for a harvest. Praise the Lord.
You need to do this with aggression because all kinds of things want to attack your harvest. The enemy wants to attack your harvest. He wants to belittle your harvest.
Matthew 11:12 – Jesus tells us to be aggressive. So we need to exert our harvest. You speak the Word, you keep confessing; ‘my harvest is coming, my favour is coming, my testimony is coming, my breakthrough is coming’. Church Gist. You look not at the things you see but the things you don’t see. For the things you see are temporary, the things you don’t see are eternal.
Jesus said in Mark 11:22-24, whosoever shall say to the mountain, hey, be thou remove, be thou cast into the sea – does not doubt. What he says, he shall have what he says.
Thirdly, you must not give up on your seed. Never give up on your seed (Galatians 6:9). Your harvest is determined by what you do while you are waiting for it and one of the things you do while you are waiting for your harvest is, you keep watering the seed, you keep clearing the bush around your seed, you keep making efforts to see that your seed produces the best of harvest.
Waiting is the toughest part of the sowing process. You sow your seed, you hold on. Praise the Lord. You hold on, you just hold on to the Word. Allowing yourself to become weary or give up will forfeit what you waited for so long to receive. You must keep working around your seed until the fruit comes. You see, many don’t know how to do that. Hold tightly to what God says about the returning of the seed because God said as long as earth remains, seed time and harvest, they shall not cease. So you are guaranteed a harvest for what you have sown. Be not deceived, God is not mocked. For whatsoever a man sows, that he shall reap.
So if you are waiting for a financial harvest, wait for it. A breakthrough in a relationship, wait for it. Healing and restoration in your body or emotion, you wait for it. A turnaround in a matter that had to do with your life, you wait for it. Church Gist. Whatever it is, if your harvest is taking longer than you’ve anticipated, God’s word and His promises are true; the flower fades, the grass withers but the Word of the Lord abides forever. So you hold on.
God remembers every seed you’ve ever sown, don’t give up on your seed just because you haven’t seen anything. Don’t give up before the finishing line, harvest is coming. Some seeds take longer but you keep watering the seed. If you plant corn and you plant bamboo, when you throw the corn seed inside the ground, 3-4 days, the corn will break ground, it will grow. Three months, you’ll harvest your corn, but bamboo, three years. But the corn you harvested in three months is gone forever, no more, you will never have that corn tree anymore. You cut it. But the bamboo takes three years to germinate and after that, it could be generation before that bamboo is dead even if you cut that one, underneath it, the thing has taken ground, another shoot will come out. It is very difficult to kill a bamboo.
When we built Kings University, there were places we wanted the bamboo totally killed, did everything, clear the ground, at the smell of water, it will rise again. You know, we put things, we pour some strong chemicals, try to burn it to the root, it was rising. So there are some seeds you wait long but when the harvest comes, it is forever.
- Somebody is waiting for an unusual harvest and it won’t be long!
Number four, water the seed of your harvest. Psalm 67:5-6, the Bible says praise Him. Be thanking Him, verse 5 says let the people praise You oh God. Verse 6 says, then until you praise Him when you have not seen anything, until you magnify Him when you have not seen anything, until you learn to thank God; for we look not at the things that are seen but things that are not seen. Until you learn to walk the walk of faith; for we walk by faith and not by sight. Glory to God!
Do you know that when you pay for a property or plan. They haven’t built it, but you saw a model, or today, you see 3-D designs and they will even do the model and people are walking around it, it looks real but the ground have not even been broken and you pay deposit and before they do anything, you are already paying, you are paying the monthly dues because you believe in man. How much more God? The Bible says, let the people praise You and if somebody says, what are you praising God for? ‘I am praising Him for my harvest’. Where is it? You’ll say, ‘it is coming, I see it in my spirit. God said it, He cannot lie, it is impossible for God to lie’.
A farmer will never think of planting a field full of seed and then neglect to water it. You got to water it depending on the seed. Some seeds, you have to even create an irrigation system around it, it will be death sentence on the seed if there’s no water. Church Gist. The closer the water, the better for it. The banana trees in front of my house, the three or four closest to the lagoon, they are now more than 2-3 meters.
So you keep watering your seed. ‘My harvest is coming, my testimony is coming; the flower fades, the grass withers, the Word of the Lord abides forever, He is watching over His word to perform it. Heaven and earth may pass away, the little one of His word will not go unfulfilled’.
So you got to learn how to speak the Word, water it. Water the Word of God, water the seed you have sown. Same thing, you water your harvest. ‘Lord, I have sown seed, I thank You, my harvest is coming, my breakthrough is coming’. Some harvests take time, never change your testimony because it took time. Glory to God.
Thank God for returns, for hundred fold returns. Thank Him for supplying all your needs according to His riches in glory and part of your watering the seed is also by speaking the Word that promises you those things.
- Lord I thank You. Philippians 4:19 – You supply all my needs according to Your riches in glory. I celebrate You, l bless Your name.
- Job 36:11, You said if I obey and serve You, I will live my years in plenty, my days in prosperity. I bless You. It is already happening. Take the glory, take the praise, take the honour.
- Lord I bless you. Isaiah 1:19, if I am willing and obedient, I will eat the best of the land. Glory to Your name. Thank You for preparing the best for me. I glorify You, I magnify You.
- 2 Corinthians 8:9, Jesus said He has exchanged my place and carrying my poverty and giving me His riches. The riches of Christ, how big, how great, how wide, how deep, how high. They are a now mine. I now own the riches of Christ by the right of divine exchange at Calvary. I thank You.
Somebody may laugh at me because I am speaking the Word and say, you are just speaking words, is that how your harvest will come? Church Gist. Well, I’m taking actions, I am stepping out. However, the Words I am speaking are not dead words. For the Words that I speak are life and they are spirit, that is what the Word of God says. Therefore, I am trusting the Lord, it shall come to pass.
- Haggai 2:8-9, the glory of the latter house, the glory of this present house, the days of (Put your name) the glory of the latter house shall be greater than the former. The in-glory house is gone and I have inherited the glory of Jesus’s latter house which are far greater, far surpassing the former.
Always learn to water your seed. Do not ever, ever change your testimony. So knowing therefore that this word of God did not come by somebody’s intuition but by a divine inspiration, that God actually called the man to sit down, to write, ‘…for holy men of God speak and also wrote as they were moved by the Holy Ghost.’ So the Word is a living word, it is the very Word of the living God. It is not even the words of the writers. They are just secretaries, writing the mind of the boss. Glory to God.
- I prophesy this morning therefore that somebody, the harvest you’ve been waiting for, this is the season, this is the season. You walk in your harvest, you operate in your harvest, you will enjoy your harvest, you will testify of your harvest.
- Receive the Word today for every area of harvest. Harvest is in Many forms. Today, somebody at this altar receives spiritual harvest. Everything you desire for your spirit man to grow, receive the harvest, walk in the harvest, enjoy the harvest. You will testify, you will know the harvest, you will experience the harvest, you will bless the Lord for the harvest in Jesus name.
- This morning also, receive your physical harvest. Somebody who needs a healing, I lay hands of faith on you this morning, I command sickness and disease to leave your body. Exodus 15:26, according to this Word of God, therefore, I speak your physical health and healing. You will not lie down on the bed of languishing. This is your harvest of health. You will not break down, you will not die but live to declare the glory of God. You will be a testimony to your generation.
Matthew 10:17-18
- This morning, I cursed sickness and disease. I cursed growth, turmoils to dry up in the name of Jesus. You have come to the Morning Glow today, I release the anointing of God on someone at this altar. I declare and decree your health and healing. Your testimony will be awesome, the hand of the Lord stretch out to break you free from sickness and disease. God brings you out of ill-health. He Himself, not sending an angel took away your infirmities and diseases. In the name of Jesus, be healed!
Isaiah 53, 1 Peter 2:24, Acts 2
- This morning the Lord Jesus set you free.
- Somebody walk the walk of faith. I cursed that disease, that pain, swelling, that inflammation of your muscles. I rebuke every form of sickness, ill-health. I lay the hand of faith on you, I command total health this morning. May you be filled with the testimony of Jesus. May you be totally delivered. The Lord Jesus sets you free, gives you victory, affliction shall not rise a second time. I declare, I decree, affliction shall not rise in your life a second time.
- I pray for you today, for an emotional harvest. A harvest of joy, gladness, peace, long-suffering, receive in the name of Jesus. You shall put on the garment of praise in place of the spirit of heaviness.
- In spite of what you’ve been through, I release into your life a harvest of joy, gladness, celebration, the peace of God that passes all understanding in the mighty name of Jesus.
- This morning also, I pray for you, I speak into your life, a mental harvest, God bringing into your remembrance things that you need to remember. God giving you ideas, concepts. Things that will change your life, change your family, change your level. In the name of Jesus, receive mental ideas, concepts, dreams, insights, revelations.
- I lay hands on young men and women on this platform, may the Spirit of creativity, inventions, ideas rest upon you. May it become your harvest.
- Today I pray for you, a harvest of the mental realm, that God will show you creative ideas. God Himself is a God of creativity. He is your Daddy, He is your Father, receive this morning a breakthrough in the realm of the mental. May God open your eyes, your ears to concepts from heaven in the name of Jesus. Ideas that will solve problems, that will bless your family, change people’s platform, change their lives, receive in the name of Jesus.
- This morning I pray for you for a financial harvest. May the Heavens open upon you and give you a financial and material harvest with which you will carry out the dreams, the aspirations that God has placed in your heart.
- This morning in the name of Jesus, I prophesy upon your life, I declare and decree this day that God surprises you. God supply all your needs according to His riches in glory by Christ Jesus. He wipes your tears, He fills your mouth with laughter, your life with celebration. He causes you to rejoice, He causes you to know abundant blessings, He causes you to walk in the supernatural, in Jesus name we pray.
We are going to come against the destruction of your harvest. The Bible says, a thief comes not but to steal, to kill, to destroy. I am come that they might have life. Satan always targets your harvest, he wants to destroy it. Church Gist. In the days of the children of Israel, many times they would allow the enemies to come and destroy their harvests by their disobedience to God (Amos 4:7).
- Today I speak into your life, you will not behold the rain and have dryness. You will be in the place where the living waters flow. Your seed will not die, your harvest will not be missed. God will use you, God will bless you. You will walk into your harvest, enjoy your harvest, be blessed by your harvest in the name of Jesus.
- In the name of Jesus, let the Heavens open, let rain come. The seed of your life will not dry up, the seed of your hard work will not dry up. The harvest of your expectation will become the testimony of your life in the name of Jesus.
- This morning we come against the lack of rain, the drying up of the seed; we call forth, let there be harvest, let there be testimony in the name of Jesus.
Micah 6:15, Haggai 1:6
- Father in the name of Jesus, we come before You, we repent of everything that attacks our harvest, every sin, every unrighteousness that attack our harvest. Everything we’ve done, said, wherever, whatever we have touched that does not glorify You, we bring ourselves under the cleansing of the blood of Jesus. Holy God, we come before You, forgive, forgive, forgive, cleanse us with Your precious blood.
- Sowing and having no harvest because the seed is dead in the ground, we repent. Jesus forgive us. Every devourer that eats the life of the seed, we ask for Your forgiveness. The enemy will not destroy our seeds in the name of Jesus.
-Every demonic entity going for the life of your seed, we rebuke in the name of Jesus. We declare and decree a turnaround into our situation. We bring everything that have hindered our harvest under the blood in the name of Jesus.
Proverbs 18:20
- This morning, with our mouth, we confess all blessings. We speak our physical blessings; we receive healing and health. Anyone upon this altar, who is having any ill-health or any attack on their bodies, I speak a harvest of health, a harvest of peace. Sickness and disease will not tie you down, you will not lie down on the bed of languishing in the name of Jesus.
I speak a harvest of joy. With our mouth we declare and decree; we have the peace of God that passes all understanding. We have the peace that keeps our hearts (Philippians 4:7). We have the joy of the Lord, we have gladness (Isaiah 26:3). We have the fruit of the Spirit (Galatians 5:22-22). We are the people of God, we are walking in His counsel, we are walking in His peace.
We are declaring and decreeing by our mouth that we have the fruit of physical healing and health, emotional healing and health.
With our mouth we declare today, creative ability is our portion, mental health, mental health. I rebuke worry, I rebuke mental ill-health, I rebuke sickness and disease in the name of Jesus. The spirit of forgetfulness, I declare and decree, God lifts you up above it. Every destruction of your mind, your mental life, we come against it in the name of Jesus. You will be strong, you will be willing in the days of His power in Jesus name.
