Sow The Seed Now

Saturday, September 14

Galatians 5:22-23 (NKJV)
“But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, longsuffering, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, self-control. Against such there is no law.”
Devotion
God is love. He sent His son Jesus to die on the cross to save us. Because He loved us, we too have the same love for others, His love is a seed that causes us to be fruitful and overflow with His goodness. The Holy Spirit urges us and enables us to do good. He guides us into all things. God wants us to be fruitful and multiply, to increase the love, joy, and peace in our lives. He desires to increase our businesses, to make us asset owners, land possessors and wise investors.

The seed is in us, the seed of purpose and the seed of life. It is not dependent on anything outside of us.

“Faith is the substance of things hoped for; and the evidence of things unseen.“ (Hebrews 11:1)

The miracle “seed” is in us. It is not based on our government, or on someone else. What is in your hands? What is your talent? Allow God to use what you have. Pour it out and do not hoard it. Pour what little you have into the hands of God. He blesses those who use their talents and resources. He will use what you have inside and turn it into a gift of multiplication!

Today’s Prayer
Dear Heavenly Father,

I am Yours. Use me, lead me and enable me to share the resources and talents that You have given me. Forgive me for withholding my talents; forgive me for hoarding my resources; and, forgive me for doubting my abilities. Help me Lord to give out what little I have now. Lord, encourage me to be loving at all times. Let me be joyful, even in sorrow. Help me find peace amidst problems and difficulties. Cause me to be patient, when waiting for answers to my prayers. Enable me to be faithful and keep praising You, when I do not see anything changing in my life. Teach me to be kind when others have not been kind to me. Keep me doing good, when there is so much ugliness around. Help me to be faithful in giving and sharing. Teach me self control when I feel like screaming when something bad happens. Enable me to be gentle with my words and speak healing and life instead. In the Name of Jesus, I pray. Amen.

Apply It Today
As you share what resources you have and do the will of the Father in obedience to Him, God will bless you and multiply the resources you have. Stagnant water turns bad and smells bad. But a running stream causes plants and animals to live and flourish, causing others to grow and bless so many more! God can use you for His glory! 
His fruit is inside your heart. Let it grow by sharing your gifts with others. He will enable you to grow, multiply the seed you have and be fruitful.

Resources
  • To each of us, God gives gifts to be used on His behalf. Be encouraged to step out in your giftings as you watch, “Your Gift Will Make Room for You.” 
  • Sometimes we think our gifts are not as important as those given to others. However, 1 Corinthians 12 tells us that the Holy Spirit gives us gifts to serve God and make Him known. The chapter goes on to say that each person’s gift is different, but all gifts come from God. Allow these words to help you see your worth in the Kingdom.
