ERODING QUALITY HARVESTS?

Memorise: "I have planted, Apollos watered; but God gave the increase" (1 Cor 3:6)

Read: 1 Corinthians 3:6-7

Entering your financial breakthrough requires sowing at difficult times and sowing on good soil. Besides, it requires work - hard work. Some people believe that because they are born again, they will no longer work hard. That is a lie! They think grace has institutionalized laziness. The only harvest a lazy fellow can have is that of emptiness, sorrow and hunger. When God gives you open doors to financial favour, you would be required to work hard towards financial abundance. God opens the door but you would walk in with your two legs, and take advantage of the opportunities or else you will have nothing to show for the door the Lord has opened to you. Some believers have made God to regret the doors of opportunity He has opened to them because they never maximized such opportunities.
When God opens a door of financial abundance to you where you could make millions of Naira, He would be displeased to see you make only a few tens of thousands due to laziness.

"I have planted, Apollos watered; but God gave the increase" (1 Cor 3:6). For your seed to deliver a quality harvest, you must work hard. After a farmer has sown some seeds, they will start to grow. But weeds will grow beside them even when they are not invited. So as you nurture the good seed, you must also get rid of the weeds. That requires hard work! If you stop at sowing a seed, don't be surprised if your harvest is below expectation. What have you done to protect your seed or to prevent it from being overtaken by weeds? After sowing like Paul, you must water like Apollos before Heaven will release the increase. Water your seeds with prayers and thanksgiving. Quality seeds must be backed by quality prayers. Lack of quality prayers and thanksgiving have eroded the juicy parts of some people's harvest. Stop this waste today! On the other hand, God may sometimes specifically tell you what to sow in order to get your desired harvest. In such a case, nothing but complete obedience is expected of you. And thereafter, tend your seeds by ensuring you live right before God. The period of sowing is not a period you should be engaging in sin as this can invite the birds of the air to uproot your seeds. Also, water the seed with prayer, and thanksgiving. Where possible, you could combine these with fasting. You will have your ultimate yield from seeds sown.

Action point
Father, cause all good seeds I have sown to deliver me their best yield.
