Mallam Bako wiped his brows as he picked up his hoe, his body was
glistening with sweat under the hot sun but he didn't mind because he had just
planted all the seeds he had, he looked back at the work of his hands and
smiled satisfactorily.
In less than a year, all those seeds would become big
tubers of yam, he could feel the thousands of naira he would make on his palms,
he could hear his Yoruba customers arriving with their big trucks from Lagos
begging him to give them a good discount. He whistled joyfully as he got on his
bicycle and cycled back home.
Jesus used natural things to explain spiritual things, that's why we
have so many parables in the Bible. Jesus was trying to tell us that the truths
of the spiritual are the truths of the physical.
Have you ever asked yourself what happens to a seed when
it is planted? Does anyone know how a mango seed produces a tree of mangoes?
Scientists have tried but they have fallen short! Does an orange seed even look
like an orange?
Listen to me! The laws of sowing and reaping are real! If
a farmer can plant a seed and expect to reap tubers of yam in a few months time
without worrying about how the yams will grow, why do you think you cannot
plant whatever you want and reap an harvest? You gave your wife sperm and in 9
months you got a baby!
The bible says in Genesis 8:22 (NLT) As long as the earth
remains, there will be planting and harvest, cold and heat, summer and winter,
day and night." You can sow your way into your future!
Whatever that challenge is, you can sow your way out of
it. There are 3 things you must do:
1. Pray: prayer is talking to God. Make your request
known to Him.
2.Sow a seed, the bible says in Ecclesiastes 10:19 (ISV)
money speaks to everything. Locate your pastor or whoever has succeeded in
whatever you are going through and sow into their life.
3. Be specific: Tell them to agree with you in prayer for
a specific result. A farmer does not plant yams and expect apples, be very
specific for what you want.
4. Thank God for it everyday till you see results:
thanking God is like watering your seeds and whatever you thank God for
multiplies.
Go and be the best God has called you to be.
