“Remember this — a farmer who plants only a few seeds will get a small crop. But the one who plants generously will get a generous crop.” 2 Corinthians 9:6 (NLT)
This has to be one of the most well-known scriptures, yet one of the most under-estimated at the same time. Today there are two principles that I’d like to share with you.
Firstly, if we sow sparingly, we are limiting our ability to cultivate an abundant crop, and therefore, we will reap sparingly.
Secondly, aligning yourself to reap generously – and with blessings – is not only limited to how much you sow, but also into what soil you sow. Let’s take this literally – a farmer wouldn’t farm bananas in the desert. Rather, they’ll choose the correct environment – like tropical regions with high temperatures and rainfall. Therefore, the key isn’t only to sow generous amounts of seed, but to also sow that seed in the correct soil.
When you sow into the soil of the Kingdom, your return is guaranteed. When you give into fruitful ground – the likes that bring others into the Kingdom of God, and causes lives to have encounters with God and radical transformations – then you better know that your harvest is going to be bountiful.
In fact, when your seed is planted in God’s Kingdom, it is cultivated by His Word, and God Himself sees to it that you will receive a generous harvest.
Prophetic Declaration
As I sow my seed today, I prophesy that there is a great harvest being prepared for me. I receive the faith to sow more generously than ever before. I declare and decree that every seed that I sow shall yield a bountiful harvest, in the Name of Jesus, Amen.
