Your Harvest Is Sure
He that goeth forth and weepeth, bearing precious
seed, shall doubtless come again with rejoicing,
bringing his sheaves with him
(Psalm 126:6).
Oftentimes, we come across people who put
so much effort and resources into working
for the Lord, but after a while they begin to wonder,
“What would be my reward or gain for all these
efforts?”
Now, the Word of God is clear: God is always the
last giver. No one can ever out-give Him. Therefore,
be encouraged and don’t despair, for the Bible says,
“…God is not unrighteous to forget your work and
labour of love, which ye have shewed toward his
name, in that ye have ministered to the saints, and
do minister” (Hebrews 6:10).
Our opening verse puts it succinctly: “He that
goeth forth and weepeth, bearing precious seed,
shall doubtless come again with rejoicing, bringing
his sheaves with him.” What this means is that your
harvest is sure; it’ll happen without fail. A sheave
is a bundle of stalk or ears of grain that you bind
together after they’re cut. They’re bound together for
transportation or for storage. It’s sometimes used as
a term to refer to a package of so many things put
together. But in our theme verse, it refers to some
form of harvest from your giving, and this isn’t just
about money.
It’s important to know, as a child of God, that you
can get your harvest anytime you choose; you can
make it happen anytime you want. Genesis 8:22 says,
“While the earth remaineth, seedtime and harvest,
and cold and heat, and summer and winter, and
day and night shall not cease.” This means there’s no
definite time for the harvest. “Seedtime and harvest”
means harvest is anytime. Though there be seedtime (a
time of sowing), you can call forth the harvest anytime!
You might as well consider today your day of harvest,
your day of blessings! Praise God!
Your harvest ought to come in ways that are
supernatural. For example, the Bible says Isaac sowed
during the time of famine—a time when it was naturally
impossible for harvest—yet he received in the same
year a hundredfold (Genesis 26:12-13).
We can determine and make our harvest happen
when we want it. This is because we function in the
Name of Jesus. Nonetheless, there’s also a need of
patience (Hebrews 10:36), for he that believes does
not make haste (Isaiah 28:16).
Prayer
Dear Father, I adore you for the opportunities to sow and be a
blessing through giving, and for the privilege to call forth my
harvest. My seeds and labour of love are sanctified by your
Spirit to produce a multiplied harvest of blessings for me in
my ministry, finances, family, and all areas of life, in Jesus’
Name. Amen.
