What You Sow Is What You Get
When you sow apple and orange seeds, you get apples and oranges. You will never wake up to see another fruit (mangoes) on the field. Any such fruit that may appear would be considered a weed because that is not what you sowed. When you sow seeds of friendship, you get friends. What you sow is what you get. If in the natural, you receive in the area in which you sow, how much more will you receive in the supernatural when God blesses you!
The Bible tells us that when Isaac sowed in the land, he reaped a hundredfold even though there was a famine in that land (Genesis 26:1). The reason was that he obeyed God and “the Lord blessed him”.
So if you are believing God for a breakthrough in a particular area, sow in that area. Are you believing God for a promotion and salary increase, sow in that area. Are you believing God for good grades in your academics or for a good partner in marriage, sow in that area. “God is able to do exceedingly abundantly above all that we ask or think” (Ephesians 3:20).
Whatever money or time you give to the Lord, He will multiply it back to you. For example, you have 24 hours in a day just like everyone else, but the Lord can make your day very fruitful. And even after doing all that needs to be done, you will find that you still have time left to rest.
Even when you have nothing to give as may always be the case, your prayers will not return to you void. God can answer them exceedingly above what you have asked even without blinking or lifting a finger. When Job lost everything that he possessed, he prayed for his friends and the Lord did not only restore his losses, but He also “gave Job twice as much as he had before” (Job 42:10).
Don’t wait for a problem to arise before you start sowing seeds of desperation wanting a solution. Start sowing seeds in the area that you are believing God for now, and know that before long, you will be reaping your harvest! Because as it stands now, what you sow is what you get. Where you are now is because of what you have sown in the past. So take a bold step today.
