Start of
Now the preacher says give your portion to 7 but there is a caveat- you see eerrh- when you are sowing in the spirit- you stand to be discouraged- when you are sowing- seeds of prayers, seeds of sacrifice, seeds of obedience, you stand to be discouraged - why..
Precisely because spiritual things do not manifest the way physical things do manifest. Let me explain- if you go to a farm and you plant tomatoes, you know exactly when to reap the fruit-expectation is concealed to a time frame- but when you are making an investment in the spirit or sowing- all your wisdom with respect to return or yields will become useless because God has his own schedule that he works with.
I need to tell you this because some of you are discouraged you think you are wasting time in prayer because things are not moving according to your time line- So 13, 10, 15 years at prayer- and it appears there is no shift, nothing to show for it..., hear me out loud in your speakers, as I repeat- *when you are sowing in the spirit- you stand to be discouraged- when you are sowing- seeds of prayers, seeds of sacrifice, seeds of obedience, you stand to be discouraged - why.. Precisely because spiritual things do not manifest the way physical things do manifest. Let me explain- if you go to a farm and you plant tomatoes, you know exactly when to reap the fruit-expectation is concealed to a time frame- but when you are making an investment in the spirit or sowing- all your wisdom with respect to return or yields will become useless because God has his own schedule that he works with.
Psalm 37:7 “Be still before the Lord and wait patiently for him; do not fret when people succeed in their ways when they carry out their wicked schemes.” God’s plan does not always happen when we want it to and God’s timing does not depend on your clocks.
Isaiah 55:6 says “For as the heavens are higher than the earth, so are my ways higher than your ways, and my thoughts than your thoughts .” Hear me when I tell you God has his own schedule he is operating with - so your part of the deal is to keep casting your bread upon the water, and wait-, and the word of the Lord gives assurance that- you will find it after many days-
However, let me share another revelation the angel of the Lord gave me-you don’t stop here- you must adopt a spiritual insurance policy. Now because the above principle that guarantees the yields on the investment in is as long as the earth remains…in order words time and harvest principle is only functional as long as the earth remains, and you and I know that investment can go bad because it is possible for the earth not to remain.
What will happen if you sowed and the earth doesn't remain- so you got to crystallize this insurance policy just in case the earth is not faithful enough to bring in your harvest.
That’s why the preacher proposed a step further from 7-8 – to the 8th- because you know not what evil may happen on earth. So the next verse is the insurance policy just in case the earth messes you up.. In order words there is a kind of investment you can make in the Spirit that even if the earth is not in place you can still have a return on your investment- that one is the 8th- why move a step further to the 8th - Because you can be sowing and an evil can come up upon your earth, your family, your business, everything you care about- and this evil can elongate the time that is required for the return on your investment to find expression, and if you are not careful depression, recession and destruction can take over - so after seven, consider giving a portion to eight, for you know not what evil may happen on earth.
I hope you know that -seven means complete and eight means new beginning as far as spiritual coding is concerned. - when you get to 8 it means you are at a level where you meet a need in the heart of God-
Now let’s bring it down- I don’t wanna start another conference- Listen, for 53 days now we have been running this conference... some of you have been praying since... Trying to obey.. trying to do things right, at the right time and in the right place- but things appear to be stuck- little or no progress, challenges, persecutions, trouble, 5 steps forward, 12 steps back- And everybody looks at you and says you are wasting- time is running out- .. How old you now? Look at your mates? When will you also do this or that, etc..
Now listen- the preacher said in verse 3 of chapter 11, “If the clouds are full of rain, they empty themselves on the earth; and if a tree falls to the south or to the north, in the place where the tree falls, there it will lie. There is a reason why the Holy Spirit did not go to your great great great grandfather's house but to the UPPER ROOM, that's where they were labouring, that’s where they were cutting the tree and that's where the tree fell.
The GPS location of where Holy Spirit invaded was where they had been doing some earth shaking thing, namely prayer and learning about spiritual mysteries and God -that's the place where it will remain.. Your prayer life will cut the tree, and the Holy Spirit will remain...
So verse 4 of chapter 11 will say “He who observes the wind will not sow; and he who regards the clouds will not reap”- do not be moved by sight, by what is working or not working- what is changing or not changing- if you want to observe the wind before you sow- or regard the clouds- you will not reap- your part of the deal is to keep sowing- When Jesus was to be identified- John was told in the back side of the wilderness- where everyone thought he was wasting- because John's father was a priest- but John followed his manual – he didn’t follow society, or family, or his father- his own was to be a prophet operating from the wilderness and everyone thought he was wasting- and the spirit of the Lord came to him saying-- anyone on whom the Spirit of God will descend - if he rests – that is the Christ-
It means there is an investment you have been making that others are not aware of and it is the day that the Spirit of the living God will descend on you that everyone will know whose own you are. But for now keep sowing and the several investment that you have made may look like madness-like a waste- - everybody that looked at you, felt you were wasting big time.. But you see in order for you to make meaning or sense to the immortals you must be a person of sacrifice- casting your bread- upon the water- does that make sense--.
You see- what doesn't make sense to people- that's what makes sense to God- to the spiritual- to immortals. The Iyah-man saw this mystery and exclaimed in Isaiah 55:6 says “For as the heavens are higher than the earth, so are my ways higher than your ways, and my thoughts than your thoughts” – then another Irie man concluded in Proverbs 3:5-6 “Trust in the Lord with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding; in all your ways submit to him, and he will make your paths straight." The immortals have the capacity to understand investment in the spirit.
Now the verse number 5 brings out the season of manifestation that's where my charge will come from as we end this conference-. “As you do not know the way the spirit comes to the bones in the womb of a woman with child, so you do not know the work of God who makes everything .”
The processes that the procedure of the spirit makes- takes place in a such a way that is obviously oblivious to the natural human- but you must know that if God is working it means his Spirit is working and if God stops working it means his Spirit has stopped working.
You can continue working if the Spirit of God is not working but that work is not the work of God. So, if God is working, he begins to work like bones forming in the womb, - you won't know how, you won’t know when, you can’t see it most times or feel it- but even when you feel he is not working- he is working...because you do not know the way the spirit comes to the bones in the womb of a woman with a child- you do not know the work of God who makes everything- so stick to prayer- keep casting your bread on the water…
TO BE CONTINUED...
Shalom and God bless you
