Plant your own Seed

Text: Gen. 8:22
More Lessons: Zech. 10: 1
Bible Reading in one Year: Jeremiah 33-36

It pleases Jehovah that we plant today what we want to harvest this year. We want to plant seeds of promotion, increase, appointment, jubilation, federal jobs, scholarship, fellowship, award, contract, breakforths and breakthroughs. How are we going by it? Just one way, we will announce it. Our seed planting is by announcement, by speaking, by prophetic declaration. Everyone will harvest what he or she has planted. Psa 81:10 (GNB) says …Open your mouth, and I will feed you: Pro 18:21 says, Death and life are in the power of the tongue: and they that love it shall eat the fruit thereof. That means every man reaps a harvest of the fruit with which he is fed, by the words of his mouth.

The passage we read says, while the earth remaineth, seedtime and harvest, … shall not cease. The earth remains and as a result seedtime shall not cease. If you don't sow, harvest is not expected. Seedtime implies that there is a time that sowing is done; there is a time to sow maize, that is the seedtime for maize and this also goes for other crops. A research on the topic: “Corn Planting and Harvest Seasons”, says that corn crops around the world have their unique production cycles of planting and harvest time frames. In the United States, corn crops are planted between April and June, and harvested between October and November. In China corn is planted mid- March through early June and harvested mid- August through October. And in Brazil, corn crops are planted early August through November and harvested February through May. This shows that each region has its own time for planting.

The seedtime is the set time and like the Psalmist said in Psa. 102:13 ... the set time is come. It means if Zion should miss that set time, they will have to wait for the cycle to return before they can be favoured. Also, in Zech. 10: 1, the Bible says, Ask ye of the LORD rain in the time of the latter rain; so the LORD shall make bright clouds, and give them showers of rain. This further proves that there is a time that God has set aside for men to do things and if they are not aware of that time, they remain in their state of delusion. Jesus wept over Jerusalem and declared woe unto them because they didn't know the hour of their visitation.

There is a time for planting and I announce to you that today is your planting time. This is the time to plant, so open your mouth and begin to plant all the seeds you want to harvest this year.
