Title: Don’t Eat Your Seed
Memorize: While the earth remains, Seedtime and harvest, Cold and heat, Winter and summer, And day and night Shall not cease. Genesis 8:22 (Nkjv)
Bible Reading: Galatians 6:7-9 (Nkjv)
[7] Do not be deceived, God is not mocked; for whatever a man sows, that he will also reap.
[8] For he who sows to his flesh will of the flesh reap corruption, but he who sows to the Spirit will of the Spirit reap everlasting life.
[9] And let us not grow weary while doing good, for in due season we shall reap if we do not lose heart.
Message:
I remember a time my wife cooked pounded yam and chicken, which is my favourite meal. Just as she invited me to the table to eat, a group of friends arrived, and they were hungry.
They went straight to the dining table and ate the meal she had prepared for me. I found an alternative meal to eat and left for a conference in Kenya.
Throughout the conference, I did not spend money on any meals because people invited me to eat choice meals in their homes.
One of the powerful laws of nature is the law of harvest. A harvest is far bigger than the seed that was sown to produce it.
For example, if a farmer plants maize grains, he will harvest a sheaf of corn that can serve multiple people.
The Bible says that God gives bread to the eater and seed to the sower, which implies that whenever He provides for you, He expects you to sow or give part of what He has provided you with.
My dear child, the truth that many young people refuse to acknowledge today is that a receiver is subject to a giver. If you want to be prosperous, you must learn to give.
Key Point:
The key to prosperity is giving.

HYMN 4: BE GLAD IN THE LORD AND REJOICE
1 Be glad in the Lord and rejoice,
All ye that are upright in heart;
And ye that have made him your choice,
Bid sadness and sorrow depart.
REFRAIN:
Rejoice, rejoice!
Be glad in the Lord and rejoice!
2 Be joyful, for He is the Lord,
On earth and in heaven supreme;
He fashions and rules by His word;
The Mighty and strong to redeem
3 What though in the conffict for right
Your enemies almost prevail,
God’s armies, just hid from your sight,
Are more than the foes which assail.
4 Though darkness surround you by day,
Your sky by the night be o’ercast,
Let nothing your spirit dismay,
But trust till the danger is past.
5 Be glad in the Lord and rejoice,
His praises proclaiming in song;
With harp, and with organ and voice
The loud hallelujahs prolong!
