Today there are two principles that I\u2019d like to share with you.<\/p>\n<p>Firstly, if we sow sparingly, we are limiting our ability to cultivate an abundant crop, and therefore, we will reap sparingly.<\/p>\n<p>Secondly, aligning yourself to reap generously &#8211; and with blessings &#8211; is not only limited to how much you sow, but also into what soil you sow. Let\u2019s take this literally &#8211; a farmer wouldn\u2019t farm bananas in the desert. Rather, they\u2019ll choose the correct environment &#8211; like tropical regions with high temperatures and rainfall. Therefore, the key isn\u2019t only to sow generous amounts of seed, but to also sow that seed in the correct soil.<\/p>\n<p>When you sow into the soil of the Kingdom, your return is guaranteed. When you give into fruitful ground &#8211; the likes that bring others into the Kingdom of God, and causes lives to have encounters with God and radical transformations &#8211; then you better know that your harvest is going to be bountiful.<\/p>\n<p>In fact, when your seed is planted in God\u2019s Kingdom, it is cultivated by His Word, and God Himself sees to it that you will receive a generous harvest.<\/p>\n<p>Prophetic Declaration<\/p>\n<p>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.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>> &#8220;Remember this \u2014 a farmer who plants only a few seeds will get a small crop.
