THE PROSPEROUS SEED

It is not all seed that leads to blessing and prosperity. When your seed is not prosperous, the problem is not with the seed. It was because of how it was sown.

How do we make our seed to be prosperous?
• Genesis 4 : 3-5 { Gen 4:3 One day, Cain gave part of his harvest to the LORD,
Gen 4:4 and Abel also gave an offering to the LORD. He killed the first-born lamb from one of his sheep and gave the LORD the best parts of it. The LORD was pleased with Abel and his offering,
Gen 4:5 but not with Cain and his offering. This made Cain so angry that he could not hide his feelings. } it is not all seed that God accepts. How then do we sow our seed that it can guarantee us harvest ?
Exodus 25 : 1-2{ Exo 25:1 And Jehovah spoke to Moses, saying,
Exo 25:2 Speak to the sons of Israel that they bring Me an offering. You shall take an offering from every man that gives it willingly with his heart. }
When you are sowing your seed to God, you must sow it willingly. Sow seed from the bottom of your heart. 2 Corinthian 8 : 12{ 2Co 8:12 For if the eagerness is present, it is acceptable according to what one has, and not according to what one does not have. } so your offering from a will mind.
• 2 Corinthian 8: 12-14 { 2Co 8:12 For if the eagerness is present, it is acceptable according to what one has, and not according to what one does not have.
2Co 8:13 For it is not that others may have ease, but you trouble;
2Co 8:14 but by equality in the present time; your abundance for their need, that their abundance also may be for your need; so that there may be equality; } sow qualitatively. The quality of your seed determines the acceptability.
• 2 Corinthian 9: 7 { 2Co 9:7 Each one, as he purposes in his heart, let him give; not of grief, or of necessity, for God loves a cheerful giver. } Sow your seed cheerfully. sow it with joy.
• Malachi 1 : 6-8{ Mal 1:6 A son honors his father, and a servant his master. If then I am a father, where is My honor? And if I am a master, where is My fear? says Jehovah of Hosts to you, O priests who despise My name. And you say, In what way have we despised Your name?
Mal 1:7 You offer defiled bread upon My altar; and you say, In what way have we defiled You? In your saying, The table of Jehovah, it is a thing to be despised.
Mal 1:8 And if you offer the blind for sacrifice, is it not evil? And if you offer the lame and the sick, is it not evil? Bring it now to your governor. Will he accept you, or lift up your face, says Jehovah of Hosts? } Sow honorably.
