Shalom,
Today I want to share from Jerry Savelle's deovtional from his website!
LOOK FOR THE OPPORTUNITIES
This is a key the Lord shared with me
about positioning ourselves for walking in the fullness of the Blessing: LOOK
FOR EVERY OPPORTUNITY YOU CAN TO SOW TOWARD IT.
You can’t have a harvest without
sowing. Harvests don’t just happen. They are the results of sowing. And if you
want manifestations of the fullness of the blessing in your life, then you MUST
sow toward that.
The entire earth revolves around this
principle. Genesis 8:22 says, “While the earth remains, seedtime and
harvest … shall not cease” (AMPC). The whole earth revolves around the
principle of sowing and reaping. The world calls it cause and effect. For every
action, there is a reaction.
When God first introduced Himself to
Abraham in Genesis 12, He told Abraham that He would bless him. God promised to
Abraham and his seed:
I will bless you.
I will make you a blessing.
I will make your name great.
I will make a nation out of you, and
Through you all the families of the
earth will be blessed.
Did Abraham wait until all of the
promises of God for his life were manifested before he started sowing? No, he
did not. God was talking about these promises in Genesis 12, 13, and 14.
In chapter 15, Abraham gave
Melchizedek tithes of all. This is the first mention of tithing in the
Bible. What was Abraham doing? He was not only giving God tithes of all, but he
is also sowing toward the fulfillment of the promises that God had given him.
Once again, the promises that God gave Abraham haven’t been fulfilled yet.
Over the years, I have learned
to follow that example. And if you want to live in the fullness of the
Blessing, then let me encourage you to begin to look for every opportunity that
you can to sow toward the fulfillment of it. If you do, you won’t be
disappointed.
I can tell you without any
reservations that God has never let me down and He’ll do the same for you!
Amen.
AMEN! Here is Brooke Ligertwood with "Ancient Gates":
Shalom in Him!
