DEVOTIONAL: WHAT MUST I DO TO RECEIVE FROM GOD

BIble reading: Mark. 11:22-26


Children of God looking into Him for blessings should learn that God has provided the means of receiving abundant blessings from Him. God has also established a few laws  principles, rules and regulations to govern the process. For anyone to receive anything from God, the fellow must at least have a relationship with Him and must have faith in His love, mercy and power to do whatever he is hoping to get from Him.

We must be connected to God abide in Him before we can receive from Him. Wisdom for financial breakthrough teaches that although His gives seed to the sower, He also expects the sower to sow and not eat the seed.

"Now he that ministers seed to the sower also ministers bread for your food,and multiply your seed sown, and also increase the fruits of your righteousness".2Corinthians. 9:10

You must realize that there is no child of God without a seed. Now you may say "I have no money and therefore I have nothing to sow. You are wrong. If you have no money, you can have something more valuable than money. Look into your hearts, hands,intellect, talent, time, what you have in your house, your academic training, your mouth to preach an win souls, etc. There is no-one without a seed. When God provides you with a financial blessing say your wage, salary, income or profit from a business. That provision has a seed in it. If you spend everything, you will harm yourself. The book of John. 12:24 says:

"Except a corn of wheat falls to the ground and dies, it abideth alone,but when it dies, it bears much fruits".

That financial provision, salty, wage or profit increase is some kind of harvest. God expects that the harvest you take today will give you a larger harvest tomorrow. When you receive your harvest, pay your tithes, sow your seeds and spend the rest. The seed you sow in the process of time will multiply and fetch you bread. If you don't sow your seeds, they remain alone but if you do, you give them an opportunity to "thank you for parting with us". They will give you a harvest that will yet give you more seeds to sow. You can decide to keep your corn with you, eat it and starve afterwards or sow it and expect a harvest. Many believers today are poor because if greed, gluttony, impatience, ignorance and lack of faith made them eat their seeds along with their bread.
Now you know better. Simply obey and begin to enjoy increase on all sides. As you begin to follow divine principles today, you will witness an extraordinary supply of His favour and blessings in Jesus name.
