-Pastor Matthew Ashimolowo at Morning Glow, KICC on ‘THE SEASON OF HARVEST’ (Part 3)
This is the day the Lord has made, we will rejoice and be glad in it. Welcome to another day, another time in the presence of the Lord. Welcome to Morning Glow. Welcome to a time to receive from the Lord; to refresh your spirit, renew your spirit and face the day with joy, gladness, hope and praise.
Heavenly Father, great Father of our Lord Jesus Christ. We magnify, celebrate, make great Your name from the rising of the sun to the going down of it. We bless You because You are God from beginning to the end, there is no place for argument. No God like You, no one saves, delivers like You. Bless us this morning, open the Heavens, let Your people have testimonies, let Your hand be stretched, let Your name be glorified, we thank You. We will take the time to praise You at the end of today, in Jesus name.
Amen!
Praise the Lord.
I will like to welcome you, I trust the Lord that you will be blessed, you will be favoured, you will be touched by the Holy Spirit. The hand of God will touch you and you will have reasons to praise the Lord, you will have reasons to magnify Him in the name of Jesus.
If you are joining us for the first time or you haven’t been around for some time, we have been praying harvest into our lives from Monday. Church Gist. Also, this is the month of the harvest, so I believe God that you will walk in the supernatural harvest and every prophetic word God gives here, may you experience it and may you truly have an all round harvest; spiritual, financial, material, relational – all round harvest in your life in the name of Jesus. The kind that will give you reasons to magnify God in the name of Jesus.
This morning I will like to encourage you about how to call in your harvest. The first step is to sow. In the natural, bringing in the harvest has always been a season of great celebration. When there is harvest, there is joy. The reward for sowing, watering, for protecting precious seeds symbolises abundance from the season of work and sacrifice.
I am a city boy but I went to live in the village for one year, five months. I didn’t know quite much about the village. I think I got there around the time when one harvest had ended, around December. So from December to April, May June, July, it was planting season and taking care of what you have planted. Once you are in summer, the village is busy, it was a village where the cash crop there was cocoa, from which we get chocolate. Everywhere you went, you never saw anybody hanging around the village anymore, they were busy harvesting. They’ve been through a period where they have been sowing, cleaning up their trees. The cocoa trees had parasites that attacked it and they had special chemicals they pumped at those parasites to die. It would not kill the tree but it will kill the parasites, called Gammallin 20. When harvest comes, the village is very busy and I believe that somebody’s harvest is around the corner.
You’ve sown, you’ve prayed, you’ve waited, something has to happen. But then, there are some people who sow, they’ve prayed, they’ve waited and there was no seed, what happened? What happened that during your harvest, you didn’t get anything when the harvest was overdue? Church Gist. But maybe the devil has stolen all your seeds, we are believing today that the story will change.
How do you make a harvest to happen in your life, make a testimony to follow in your life?
- You must sow that seed for a harvest. The Bible says in Galatians 6:7, be not deceived, God is not mocked. Whatsoever a man does, that he shall reap. So If you desire a harvest, one thing is sure, you can’t reap if you don’t sow. If you have four hectares of land and you sow on one, you will only reap where you sowed.
When I used to be a rice farmer, we had large hectares of land, but this land was big, it was 900 hectares and we planted only 100 hectares. We brought in our own equipment, but you see, we could only harvest the place we sowed and the year we didn’t sow, we did not harvest. Since we haven’t sown on that 100 hectares, there has been no harvest, not one. So if you don’t sow, you don’t harvest.
Jesus said in Luke 6:38, that if you give, you will receive. Your gifts will return to you in full; pressed down, shaken together and then make room for more and as you pour into it, it will be running over and pouring into your hand. Glory to God.
So God said, you will press down, shaken together. The reason they shake is that the grains can go into tiny corners, you may not realise that, that shaking makes all the seeds to go deeper so that the container can take more. But then, God said the container will not just take more, it shall be running over as you sow in the Lord. The amount you give will determine the amount you get back, that is an eternal law. Be not be deceived, God is not mocked, whatsoever a man sows, that he will reap. Some don’t sow, they expect to reap. Even if you just get anything to eat, it is just bread for the eater.
What is seed?
Seed is anything you give. Some of us give our time, it is a seed. Some of us give our money, resources, faith, hope, love, heavy sacrifice. I was talking with my brother, Pastor Steve Mensa for the crusade we are going to be holding in northern Ghana, November this year. Northern Ghana is an intense stronghold of poverty, lack, challenges, battles and the Pastors there are going through a credible challenge and when I heard the magnitude of the battle, I am personally giving 1000 power of positive Bible and I have been giving some of my books that I have written many years back that are still in stock. That’s a huge sacrifice on me, since we are not doing widow’s event and now, I have not started my crusade, I am looking for a seed sowing that stretches me because I need not just bumper harvest, I need a devil defeating harvest. Praise the Lord.
So the most important part of sowing is the heart behind the gift. So when you sow, be sure you are acting as a good sower (2 Corinthians 9:6).
- Get aggressive about reaping your harvest. Don’t just get aggressive to sow, get aggressive about reaping your harvest (Matthew 11:12). Church Gist. Some people say, let’s just give and have no expectation. Says who? How, where, when? That is a lie from hell. You need your harvest
Yes, you must wait on God for the harvest but you need to learn to also aggressively begin to testify of your coming harvest. You must become a sower and a mower, mow your harvest. When I was in nursery, they taught us a song; “one man went to mow and meddle. One man and his dog went to mow and meddle”. You need to go and mow your harvest, mow your favour and blessing.
- I am prophesying right now, that you will be that man, that woman to go and mow your harvest.
You must believe God in your heart that it is your time to mow your harvest, your barley, wheat, breakthrough, favour and testimony.
Leave nothing on the table for the enemy to steal because he is a thief. The thief comes not but to steal the harvest. The harvest you didn’t take, satan double crosses it and uses it against you. Your harvest belongs to you, you need your harvest. Every seed you have ever planted is available if you haven’t reaped it yet.
There are some of us, seed of 10 years ago, we haven’t reaped it.
- Jesus open my eyes, any harvest I have not brought in, I am bringing in the sheaves. Glory to God.
Don’t just be a good giver, be a good reaper of harvest. The Bible college I went to, as you are graduating, every class had a name. My class was the ‘Reapers for Christ’. Be a reaper for Christ, bring in the harvest.
This morning as you go out, begin to tell yourself; I’m bringing in my harvest, I’m bringing in my favour, my testimony, my breakthrough, my turnaround, my healing, I’m bringing them in because the Word of God says so.
You are bringing in the harvest. So remember the two principles we shared this morning, we are sharing the rest tomorrow. If you want to bring in your harvest, if you want to really call in your harvest, you need to know what steps to take.
Number one: you need to first sow the seed. Do not assume, do not presume. You must sow the seed. Church Gist. You can only harvest what you sow.
Number two: be aggressive about your harvesting, about reaping the harvest. Don’t pick and choose, bring in the seed. The one you did not reap, you know what happens? Birds go there and waste it away.
