The principle of harvest

Life is about sowing and reaping. Every aspect of your life has to do with sowing and reaping; it is either you are planting or harvesting.
• You go to school to harvest result or certificate.
• You work to harvest salary and promotion.
• You get married to harvest emotional satisfaction and fruit of the womb.
• You invest to harvest profit.

You must have this picture about life and you also are on earth as a seed, someone will harvest you.
Where your treasure is there will your heart be.

Be not deceived; God is not mocked: for whatsoever a man soweth, that shall he also reap. For he that soweth to his flesh shall of the flesh reap corruption; but he that soweth to the Spirit shall of the Spirit reap life everlasting. Galatians 6:7-8

What a man sows is what he shall reap. Whatever you want to harvest determines what you will sow. What you want your future to become determines what you do today. What you harvest tomorrow is a product of the seed sown yesterday or the ones sown today.

Life is not magical. There is nothing like luck, but what people have planted. To every building, there is a foundation, which holds every building. The seed you sow today results in the entire future you harvest.

When Jesus then lifted up his eyes, and saw a great company come unto him, he saith unto Philip, Whence shall we buy bread, that these may eat? John 6:5

Laws That Governs Harvest
• God made man and gave him the power of choice. You have a choice on how your tomorrow turns out. Know what you want to become, think outside the box, and expand your thinking capacity. Know how to work towards your dream to achieve it and not towards men’s opinion.

• Begin with what you have. (talent, skills, certificate, dream, etc). What you want to harvest determines your attitude. Have a reason for living; don’t live to be alive, live to give life. Know the harvest you are expecting and work towards it: plant towards your dream.

• Your harvest is always greater than what you planted. The future you are planning to harvest determines how patient you will be with life. Don’t compare your life with anybody’s. Make every day better than yesterday. People that look for quick harvest often get into trouble.
The wicked worketh a deceitful work: but to him that soweth righteousness shall be a sure reward. Proverbs 11:18
What makes you to stand out in future is the price you pay.

And these are they which are sown on good ground; such as hear the word, and receive it, and bring forth fruit, some thirtyfold, some sixty, and some an hundred. Mark 4:20

Your harvest is proportional to what you sow. Don’t be jealous of someone who reaps more than you, when the harvest comes. People will be against your dream like Joseph, David and Jepthath, but you have to fight for it.
Focus on your harvest.

When Jesus then lifted up his eyes, and saw a great company come unto him, he saith unto Philip, Whence shall we buy bread, that these may eat? John 6:5

Don’t turn back on your focus – the harvest.

For where your treasure is, there will your heart be also. Matthew 6:21

Avoid distraction; focus on the profit. Your harvest must consume you. Every great dreamer focuses on his harvest.

All the brethren of the poor do hate him: how much more do his friends go far from him! He pursueth them with words, yet they are wanting to him. Proverbs 19:17

And Solomon loved the Lord, walking in the statutes of David his father: only he sacrificed and burnt incense in high places.

And the king went to Gibeon to sacrifice there; for that was the great high place: a thousand burnt offerings did Solomon offer upon that altar.

In Gibeon the Lord appeared to Solomon in a dream by night: and God said, Ask what I shall give thee? 1 Kings 3:3-5

Take responsibility of your life, the quantity you harvest is determined by what you sow. Let your dream determines your thought and attitude.

• You can’t change the harvest you lost yesterday. Do what you ought to do now to guarantee a better future. You can’t keep regretting your yesterday and expect a better today. Know your identity and let your identity determine your future. Put your mind on your dream. Where there is no vision the people perish. Think of your harvest and work towards it.
