(Sow in Faith and Reverse the Curse)


He said to them, “Do you not understand this parable? How then will you understand all the parables?” Mark 4:13

Jesus said that if you do not understand the parable of the sower, then you will not understand any of His parables. This is like saying you will not understand the Bible because God has framed all of His Word in the context of sowing and reaping.

Paul wrote, “Do not be deceived, God is not mocked; for whatever a man sows, that he will also reap” (Gal. 6:7 nkjv). The very thoughts you cling to and take in, the things you meditate and chew on, will multiply in your life.

Perhaps we have lived on the edge of “not enough” so much because we really do not understand the law of sowing and reaping. If you are expecting a harvest but have not been tithing, then you can forget it according to God’s Word!

Do not wait until you are out of debt to start giving tithes and offerings. The kingdom does not work that way. When you withhold the tithe and hold back the offerings and from giving, you are literally sowing yourself in debt. The law of sowing and reaping applies to everything, and it cannot be broken. That is why so many Christians are broke.

Reverse the curse immediately by sowing a different seed. Instead of sowing doubt and unbelief with your lips, speak the Word of God in faith and praise Him for His many blessings. Instead of sowing a curse by holding back the tithe and offerings, sow them in the soil of the kingdom with joy. You will begin to harvest a totally different kind of crop that will bring gladness and abundance to your life. Pray with me:

Heavenly Father, I am taking You at Your Word and I am planting new seeds of money, faith, and the confession of Your Word today. I thank You in advance for a harvest of blessings that I cannot contain so I can finally become a blessing to others. I repent for the times I have withheld my tithe, and today I reverse the curse through obedience and joyful giving. In Jesus’ name I pray, amen.
