-Pastor Matthew Ashimolowo at Morning Glow, KICC on ‘THE SEASON OF HARVEST’ (Part 7)
Praise the Lord!
This is the day the Lord has made, we will rejoice and be glad in it. Welcome to Morning Glow, welcome to another time in the presence of the Lord. Trusting the Lord to bless you this morning, impact your life, touch you, heal you, deliver you in the name of Jesus.
Father we give You praise. What a joy, we are alive because of You. No weapon formed against us has been able to prosper. Every mouth risen against us in judgement has been condemned. Arrows of darkness have failed. We woke up again, we are alive again, we are full of God again, we are rejoicing in the Lord again. We give the glory to You, we give the praise to You, we give the honour to You, we give the adoration to You.
Thank You. We have shut the kingdom and the realm of darkness, for You give us life to wake up again. Take the glory, bless us this morning, let Your name be glorified in Jesus name.
Amen!
John 4:35-36
This Scripture announces to us that our harvest is around and we’ve been sharing with you on how to bring in your harvest. Church Gist. That song says, ‘bringing in the sheaves, we shall come rejoicing, bringing in the sheaves’. Sheaves are bales, bundles of harvest. When you cut barley or wheat, you tie it in bales. Some of you have driven through the country side in the United Kingdom or other states of Europe or United States and you see bales left in fields. Then another truck comes to pick it up.
God is telling you that the day is here when you are going to bring in your testimony in bales. But you must learn how to bring it in, bring in your harvest. Too many believers are sanctimonious about prayer. Church Gist. They love to pray but they don’t know how to receive their harvest. They let somebody talk them out of their harvest. So remember what we say;
- You must learn to first sow seed. You cannot have an harvest in the place where you didn’t sow.
There was no rain for three and half years, Elijah needed water, he told them to bring all the water they had and they poured it in the trench around his sacrifice and in fact, when they were talking about the measurement of the water he brought, they said it is the measurements of the Seer of seed, they didn’t say the Seer of water, they used seed to measure the water he poured. The water was the sacrifice, there wasn’t enough water and he had to pour it. Hey, the Heavens opened, God responded because God is not a man that He should lie. When He makes a decree, it has to stand and that is what He said in Genesis 8:22, He said, as long as earth remains, seed time and harvest shall not cease. Glory to God!
The Scripture also tells us that, don’t be deceived, God is not mocked, for whatsoever a man sows, that is what he is going to harvest. So we must learn to sow the seed.
- You must be aggressive about reaping your harvest. Don’t sit down and fold your legs and be whistling, “I know my Lord will make a way for me”. Matthew 11:12 says; And from the days of John the Baptist, the Kingdom of God is on a forceful advance but those who are powerful, those who will not give up, violent men…, you have to be violent about your harvest.
There are times, some people don’t know, they want you to give them what you have, they don’t know how you spend one hour, two hours, praying in the language of the Holy Ghost to deliver your harvest, they just want it easy. Church Gist. When they look at your life, they think life is easy, they didn’t know your seasons of pursuing your harvest intensely. The days when you denied yourself a good food, good dress. The day you denied yourself and fasted and waited.
So you must become aggressive. If you leave your harvest in the field, it will waste away or animals will make a feast on it, eat it away and waste it. Don’t let your harvest waste. Put in your sickle today!
- Don’t give up on your seed. When you sow your seed, it depends on which kind of seed; there are corn seeds, four days, maximum one week, your seeds have germinated. Three months, you have harvested. There are kernels, palm kernels, coconut; it could take few weeks to a month before it opens up but then it will take 4-5 years, then it will begin to bear fruit and it can be standing for 30 years. Same thing with the bamboo, the bamboo is even the funniest of all seed, you plant a bamboo seed, you have to water the seed for three years. With the palm kernel, it shoots out after one month, but bamboo seed, three years, nothing is on the ground but you must keep watering.
Somebody will see you watering an empty ground, they don’t know that you are not giving up on your seed, then one day, three years of watering, the ground opens, the bamboo tree shoots out and in the space of close to one month, it grows close to 18 feet. You have spent so much time, you have sown so much time, you have poured so much water; some of you have planted bamboo seed in the realm of the Spirit, and I am believing God that the season has come, the ground is going to break open, your seed is going to grow and the Lord is going to honour your faith and in a short time, God is going to collapse time so that what you waited for, for three years, suddenly in His manifestation, it shall grow so big that you will catch up and overtake those who have gone ahead of you. Receive that in the name of Jesus.
Don’t give up on your seed, keep watering the seed. Don’t say, I sow into the life of one man of God, nothing happen, I sow a seed into the Church, nothing happen. Hey, do not talk that way anymore, don’t join the unsaved, don’t join people who have used their phones to curse themselves, blogging, twitting, sending text, joining all kinds of radio, DJs, who don’t know anything about Scriptures, don’t join them. Keep confessing the word, keep speaking the word. Never give up on your seed.
- Keep the weed out of your harvest field (Genesis 2:15). Remove all kinds of things that hinders your growth; unforgiveness, bitterness, strife, keep them away, keep them from your heart. Somebody offends you, forgive them, move on with your life. Church Gist. Find a nice way to package people and forgive them. You may not really relate with them anymore. You see, love and like are not the same thing. We are taught to love everyone, but we don’t like everyone. Don’t forget that statement. We must love everyone but we don’t like everyone. God loves the world but He doesn’t like the sinfulness of men. A man can live as he likes and say, God loves me. God loves you but he doesn’t like what you are doing.
So keep the weed out, keep unforgiveness out, keep bitterness, keep strife out.
- Water the seed of your harvest. Everyday, keep confessing the Word of God, keep worshiping, keep praising God. Keep talking about your coming harvest (Psalm 67:5-6). A farmer will never think of planting a field full of seeds and then neglect to water it. People spend millions for irrigation systems on farms that are huge, millions. Church Gist. They may not even recoup it the first year but they know eventually the benefits of having an irrigation system is huge.
Everything you plant requires water, water your seed.
- Put in the sickle, the harvest has come. Begin to harvest your seed. With your mouth, begin to declare and decree; ‘my favour is coming in’. Why? Because you speak the Word of God (Hebrews 4:12). God’s word reaches where you cannot reach. Do you know that your negative words also goes far? Just as the Word of God goes far, your natural words, your negative words, satanic words are powerful. So speak powerful harvest word; ‘my harvest is coming, I am harvesting mental health, financial progress, victory over the enemy, joy, blessings, glory, the testimony of Jesus Christ, a new season’.
- Command your harvest to come. Say, hey harvest, begin to come in. The harvest of the east, the money that belongs to me that is in Asia, begin to find your way to me this morning. The harvest that is in the North, begin to find your way to me today. Command your harvest to come because your harvest is crying to come and it shall come (James 5:4).
When your harvest is ready, it will cry out for the rightful owner. Listen, don’t just blindly follow, ‘I don’t believe in all those prosperity, all those harvesting’. Ha, ha! Upon what basis? There are two thousand scriptures on God prospering you, that’s number one. Number two, the best thing you can do for poor people is to not join them anymore, because that is the only way you can go back and bless them.
Listen, I want you to know that your harvest is crying, looking for you. The only way you can bless people is, when you yourself, you are blessed. So today, you need to learn to cry and say, ‘satan, take your hand off my property, take your hand off my health and my harvest. Release my harvest in the name of Jesus’. Angels, go and gather the harvest. Because the Bible says in the book of Revelation that, angels were gathering the harvest of the last days.
- I pray for you this morning, angels are released. They are going and gathering your harvest and bringing in your harvest, testimony, glory, power, blessing in the name of Jesus.
- This day I declare, I decree that everything that pertains to life and godliness is your portion, it is coming your way.
Psalm 67:5
- Every favour, testimony, glory, breakthrough that belongs to you shall begin to come to you in Jesus’ name.
- May you walk in the blessing in the name of Jesus.
- The harvest will follow you. An uncommon supernatural one will follow you. I declare and decree that change is come to your life, the harvest is come to your life, the testimony season is here, nothing can stop it. Church Gist. Let the harvest follow; harvest of healing, health, testimony, joy, breakthrough in the name of Jesus.
Mark 4:29
- Somebody is at this platform, your harvest has come in the name of Jesus.
1 Corinthians 9:10-11
- I pray for you that the Lord will cause you to walk in the hope of the harvest. It shall truly be a season of the harvest in your life. Everything that you have desired and dreamt of, begin to flow to you today in the name of Jesus. You will not reap evil.
- You have laboured, you’ve worked hard, I declare that the season of the harvest is here, the time of your testimony is here. The Heavens open upon you, glory opens upon in the name of Jesus
- I speak into your life today, as you have plowed and hope, that is preparing the ground. As you have threshed and hope, that is pressing the wine out of the grapes, you will receive results, testimonies. God will change situations and circumstances for your sake, wipe your tears and fill your mouth with laughter in the name of Jesus.
James 3:18
- I pray for you for a harvest of righteousness, a life of God, a life that honours Jesus. You will find by the power of the Holy Spirit to live for God, to honour God. The fruit of righteousness will follow you in the name of Jesus.
Daniel 12:3
- I pray for you today, that the fruit of righteous living will follow you. You’ve chosen to serve Jesus, to follow Him, to sacrifice, to walk away from somethings; from this day, the blessings, the glories, the testimonies, open doors, the turnarounds of righteousness will follow you in the name of Jesus.
John 4:35-36
- I declare into your life, you shall not spend your life in profitless things. Church Gist.
- I pray for you today as you go to work, as you put your hand on the plow, you shall not put your hand on profitless things. A harvest of profit follows you in the name of Jesus.
- I pray for you in this season of harvest, you will celebrate with joy. As the blessings come from the east, west, north and the south, you will celebrate harvest with joy.
- The sound of goodnews will be heard in your house.
- This day I declare and decree into your life, God has promised you a plentiful harvest. I anoint your hands that you will not sow much and reap little. You will bring in more harvest than you have sown. God will surprise you. God will break the barriers, the boundaries in your life. Your harvest will exceed expectations in Jesus name.
- The people to make your harvest happen, the right men and women, the right connections, right mentors, right friends, God is sending them to you from this morning in the name of Jesus.
- The right men and women to make your dream happen, to make your destiny colourful and beautiful, (you don’t need many connections, you just need the right ones. It takes one Jonah to sink the boat) Every Jonah in your boat, God is checking them and chasing them out of your boat. God is sending to you, the people to bring you into your harvest in the name of Jesus.
Harvest is according to the seed sown.
- Every seed you have sown, some of it you have forgotten, some of them are like bamboo seed, you have sown them years back, you didn’t even remember. Today I prophesy into your life, every seed you have sown yields back, the harvest comes. You will walk in the harvest in the name of Jesus.
Harvest come back in the fullness of time. When the fullness of time comes, it just happens
- You will not miss the harvest of this season. This is the fullness of time for somebody. You’ve been through fire, water, Psalm 66:12, you are coming into your wealthy place, you are coming into your harvest; a harvest of peace, joy, testimony, glory. Church Gist. The fullness of time has come. You are going to shock your world because the prophetic word this morning concerning you shall become a reality in the name.
There is a time when the earth should yield her Increase, the fig tree must blossom and when God says it is time, even if it is out of time, it must be time. Some people thought Jesus was unfair on that tree, He was demanding fig on the fig tree when it was not the season. But you see, that fig tree belongs to the plant kingdom and it knows, we may not hear the language of trees, the language of the animal kingdom, but they have their own language, they have their own response. This fig tree should bear fruit, it was standing in the presence of the King of all kings. It withheld; ” it is not my season, I can’t give now, even though You are the one who created me” and that’s why the Lord cursed it.
Have you met people who don’t know how to honour greatness, they don’t know how to honour you, honour what you carry. Church Gist. Familiarities have made them to begin to behave in a certain way because they have access, so they treat you like they will treat everyone. The fig tree treated Jesus that way, that’s why the Lord cursed it.
- This morning, out of season, some of the seed you have sown, because the Lord knows you need that breakthrough, receive a harvest out of season in the name of Jesus.
- When people are saying, it is not time. The Lord fixes your own time because your case is different. You need that breakthrough, healing, restoration, protection, victory, you need something that will make the world know that they have picked on the wrong person, those who fight you. Receive a harvest of victory in the name of Jesus.
- Receive a harvest of protection. No weapon formed against you will prosper. Every mouth rises against you in judgement shall be condemned (Isaiah 54:15).
- God will build a hedge of fire around you. I release warrior angels to surround you. Every broken hedge around your life, we re-mend it.
- Go into today, go into the rest of this week, receive a harvest of protection, a harvest of restoration, lost years, lost opportunities, lost grounds, lost favours, lost testimonies, lost blessings; receive!
- Receive mental harvest. Sane mind, clarity of thought, creative ideas, divine insights, answers to the questions men and women are asking around you, receive this level of harvest.
- I declare that you shall not beg in the middle of harvest. There are people who beg in the middle of the harvest because they violated the principles and they want what you have. People violate God’s word but they want the benefits of people who obey His Word.
The Bible says, pray ye the Lord of harvest. Our God is the Lord of harvest.
- May the Lord of harvest make you not to beg. You will not beg in Jesus name.
- Anyone on this altar today, I rebuke the spirit of poverty. There is a portion for you, you are coming into that portion in the name of Jesus.
- This is your time, your season, this month of July, August, September, October, November, December, this year, harvest from the east, west, north, south will come into your life in Jesus name.
- I declare and decree this day, a harvest of joy and celebration. I speak into your life today, your harvest shall not fail. There shall not be a harvest of failure and grief in the name of Jesus.
- I declare and decree, harvest is a season of grace. May the grace of Jesus Christ go with you into today. May the love of God go with you into today. May the peace that passes all understanding go with you into today. May the testimony of Jesus Christ go with you into today. May harvest beyond your thinking go with you into today. May harvest that changes a man’s story go with you into today.
Amos 9:13, Leviticus 26
- I speak into somebody’s life today, a harvest that continue for years, that there will be no day you did not harvest testimony and favour, this will be your portion, your testimony, glory and breakthrough in Jesus name.
- May today reveal and release to you all that it is pregnant with in Jesus name.
