The law of seed time and harvest is one that God has ordained before the foundation of the earth (Genesis 8:22). When you are involved in this process of sowing and reaping; once the seed is put into the ground, it must die (John 12:24). Whilst waiting for the harvest the next step is for us to get actively involved in helping others along the way. We must engage ourselves in helping other people fulfil their dreams by utilizing every opportunity that presents itself. Praying for other people and stretching forth our hands to them, knowing that God will meet our own desires as we help them. The creative centre of the human has been designed by God to be productive based on the seed sown within and then empowered by the Holy Spirit to cause events to come to pass in our lives. When God ministered a seed to Abraham, He first gave him a thought in the midst of all his circumstances, that he was going to be a father of many nations. After sometime, Abraham came into the understanding of the principle, although he had earlier tried to make it happen using manipulation, which eventually resulted in the birth of Ishmael.
Abraham tried to get God’s acceptance of Ishmael, but God pointed out that the nature and character of Ishmael’s birth had already determined his character. Ishmael would grow up to be wild and do damage to Abraham’s destiny (Gen 21:13). In essence God was thinking about Abraham when he rejected Ishmael because he was not born out of the right process.
There is therefore a process of receiving thoughts from God. These thoughts are the seeds that must be sown in order to harvest destiny. God sends thoughts about the future and then those thoughts manifest when we understand how to decode them in the midst of circumstances and relationships. Embrace that heavenly thought communicated from God to you specifically, as it contains His inheritance for you.
We must understand this process and know that there will be no need to manipulate anything in our environment to produce results. In the things of God, and the authenticity and integrity of the gospel, one thing is certain – we must and should leave everything entirely up to Him to ensure His involvement. The Bible says we should cease from anger, and forsake wrath: fret not thyself in any wise to do evil (Psalm 37:8). Many people are in a hurry and get fretful and then out of desperation get involved in things that are not part of the process of God. At times people try and assist God in this process by doing things that were better left undone. This is what happened to Moses – he got the idea right, he got the thought right, it entered into his heart from his environment and from everything going on he saw it clearly but he made the wrong move. (Exodus 2:11-13)
It is very important that we know how to retrieve and interpret the thoughts or ideas from God clearly. When the God’s will is interpreted people often refer to it as an audible voice or one that came out of heaven. It is more important to gather a lifetime worth of experiences and interpret correctly the things that occurred in the past when seeking to understand His will. Your environment is pregnant with what God wants you to do, so through the experiences in your relationships etc., you can come to discover exactly what God is communicating.
Who is as blind as my messenger and as deaf as my servant; seeing many things and observes not, hearing many things and still they do not understand. He said because of this they are all in prison houses and caves and nobody is saying restore. (Isaiah42:19) With the above verse of scripture we can see that God wants us to perceive by looking into our environment to see what he wants us to do; as we hear things and as conversations go on, we are able to decode what the Spirit of God is saying to us. When we receive the thought of God within our being this way, we are certain about our next course of action. It lies deep within us and we know for a certainty that this is God’s mind for us as it captures our entire being and we are able to go with it.
