Grant tells me the story today about sowing our seed rather than eating it. It’s from 2 Corinthians 9:
6 Now this I say, he who sows sparingly will also reap sparingly, and he who sows[e]bountifully will also reap [f]bountifully. 7 Each one must do just as he has purposed in his heart, not grudgingly or under compulsion, for God loves a cheerful giver. 8 And God is able to make all grace abound to you, so that always having all sufficiency in everything, you may have an abundance for every good deed; 9 as it is written,
“HE SCATTERED ABROAD, HE GAVE TO THE POOR,
HIS RIGHTEOUSNESS [g]ENDURES FOREVER.”
10 Now He who supplies seed to the sower and bread for food will supply and multiply your seed for sowing and increase the harvest of your righteousness; 11 you will be enriched in everything for all liberality, which through us is producing thanksgiving to God. 12 For the ministry of this service is not only fully supplying the needs of the [h]saints, but is also overflowing through many thanksgivings to God. 13 Because of the proof given by thisministry, they will glorify God for your obedience to your confession of the gospel of Christ and for the liberality of your [i]contribution to them and to all, 14 while they also, by prayer on your behalf, yearn for you because of the surpassing grace of God in you. 15 Thanks be to God for His indescribable gift!
We need to ask God for seed to sow. Then, we need the eyes to see that it is seed and not our bread. Then, we move in faith to sow the seed and wait for the harvest.
This evening, I finally got around to reading elijahlist. Look what it says:
John Mark and Sandy Pool: Purchase Your Field for Kingdom Multiplication!
by John Mark and Sandy Pool
Feb 28, 2012
Matthew 13:44 The Kingdom of Heaven is like a treasure that a man discovered hidden in a field. In his excitement, he hid it again and sold everything he owned to get enough money to buy the field.
Where you sow is where you will grow! The Lord is saying to us that this is our time to make good on the Kingdom seed deposit from Abraham’s covenant purchase!
This is the time in 2012 when you must only obey the Father’s voice. We decree in the Name of Jesus you will not be distracted by or listen to any other voice.
This is the time you will receive the funds necessary for the completion and acquisition of your Promised Land. When you are homesteading a property, you must not stop and do not hesitate to purchase the land and occupy the property. Do not underestimate the value and importance of title, deed and property ownership for total possession of the Kingdom land God has promised you.
Do not allow the enemy to cause you to postpone or delay purchasing your Promised Land, as he will try to get you to make excuses for delay, like just paying bills when you know the seed money is in your hands, which you received from releasing all material substance and selling everything for God!
The enemy hates us taking ground and possessing what Father God has promised! We gain the ground when we know our value and identity as God’s children.
Sowing a Seed
Father Abraham needed a burial place for the love of his life, Sarah, who was also the “mother of all nations.” They had quite a colorful sojourn in the new land God had directed them. God gave them all He promised He would, which included the miracle child, Isaac. However, just before it was the time for Isaac to have his bride, Sarah died. Abraham was living in the “one day Promised Land” for the soon-to-be birthed Jacob, who would one day become Israel.
Notice this account of Abraham purchasing the field, the cave, and the trees of Mamre where he and Sarah had camped when the Lord gave them their promise of their miracle child, Isaac:
Genesis 23:17-20 “So Ephron’s field, which was in Machpelah, which faced Mamre, the field and cave which was in it, and all the trees which were in the field, that were within all the confines of its border, were deeded over to Abraham for a possession in the presence of the sons of Heth, before all who went in at the gate of his city. After this, Abraham buried Sarah his wife in the cave of the field at Machpelah facing Mamre (that is, Hebron) in the land of Canaan. So the field and the cave that is in it, were deeded over to Abraham for a burial site by the sons of Heth.” (Importantly, Mamre in Hebrew means fatness, increase, and multiplication!)
God, no doubt, impressed Abraham to “purchase this field of great price” and not bury God’s covenant ancestry in foreign lands or borrowed tombs. This is not only where God poured out the covenant to Abraham and Sarah, but it also is the very field in which Rebekah met Isaac to become the next generation that brought us Jacob – Israel. This was not only a “burial site,” this was a memorial to all that God had promised our “father of all nations”; that special field must be deeded into the family of God. It then became a “first fruits” deposit for the Land of Promise where one day King David would assure Israel’s conquered land was occupied by God’s title deed and covenant dating back to Abraham’s seed deposit.
We must know who we are as our Father’s children in order to understand the value of our “heirship” for God’s Promised Land – a Kingdom He gave us, including all authority in which to take dominion and multiply. You are indeed “royalty,” and where you pay the price to sell all you have and purchase your field of great treasure, it will be your Promised Land, and then you can multiply God’s Kingdom in earth as it is in Heaven!
God demonstrated this to Adam by planting a garden toward the east in Eden (see Genesis 2:8). Our Father’s seed time and harvest covenant process began then. God demonstrated this all through His Word, and even Jesus used this in a parable in Matthew, chapter 13. God wants us to use His promise upon our seed, handed down from the deposit purchased in a foreign land, to one day become our very own Promised Land of the Kingdom of God. You have every covenant promise from the Father to go forth, sell all (commit totally unto Him), and then, with all you are, reproduce in your land in which God plants you.
The Pearl of Great Price
Matthew 13:45-46 Again, the Kingdom of Heaven is like a merchant seeking beautiful pearls, who, when he had found one pearl of great price, went and sold all that he had and bought it.
In the end, we will have a new Heaven and a new Earth, yet during our calling here, we must know the value of our seed, the very “pearl of great price,” in order to step onto the land of promise and see it become our God’s Kingdom, increasing and multiplying seed property. This is the covenant that indeed never stops and produces much fruit for those who know who they are in the Father’s plan. You are the pearl of great price to our Father. God wants intimate relationship and fellowship with you because of His great love for us! This intimate relationship demonstrates His heart to increase His Kingdom through His own “priceless” children.
You are His creation, and His Word within you will never end but will succeed (success-seed), accomplishing all God said it will accomplish! Keep taking the authority given to you by God to take your fields, purchasing those with the most costly gift ever, Jesus, and you will be taking dominion now and ushering in the culture of Heaven on earth now! Receive the awesome, God-created, “Pearl of Great Price” title deed completion and revelation of buried treasure in 2012! Now is your time! This is your year of great favor!
Always a voice for God,
