Next day, I’m in the airport leaving Russia. And my pockets are filled with Russian money.
That’s gonna be worth nothing. And I thought a second. It’s worth nothing. How foolish I was.
Because here, it doesn’t matter if it was overpriced. Right now, it’s nothing. I’ve got nothing.
He who so sparingly will reap sparingly.
He who sows abundantly will reap abundantly.
Each must do as he has purposed in his heart not grudging not grudgingly or under compulsion.
For god loves a joyful, cheerful giver.
And god is able to make all grace abound to you, so to always having all sufficiency in everything, you may have an abundance for every good deed.
As it’s written, he was scattered abroad and gave to the poor, his righteousness endures forever.
Now he who supplies seed to the sower and bread for the food will supply and multiply your seed for sowing and increase the harvest of your righteousness.
And you will be enriched in everything for all liberality which through us is producing Thanksgiving to god.
For the ministry of the service is not only fully supplying the needs of the saints, but over flowing through many thanksgivings to god.
Amen. The season that we’re in right now on the biblical calendar or the calendar of Israel is the the time or the season of sewing.
You see, when you finish the what’s the what’s the last festival we had?
The last holy day holiday is what? It was Tavernackles. Tomernackles finished in the beginning of of October.
Actually, the very last day of this celebration is when calamity came to Israel.
And the thing is that right after this happens, right after Tiburinacles. That’s closing up the harvest.
It’s the feast of end gathering. So you’re finishing. You’re giving thanks to god.
We got our Thanksgiving from Tabernacles. We’re a little late with it, but that’s what Tabernacles is.
That’s what Thanksgiving is because they gave thanks for all the harvest. But then you begin the next harvest.
And so this season is the season of sowing seed, sowing into the soil.
Cause then what happens is you’ve got a time where the rains come.
And so the rains water the seed, and you also have a time that gets colder.
Everybody goes inside, but the seeds are down there.
And then when the when the weather warms up in in the springtime, you have all the you have the harvest begins with Passover.
So what you sow in the autumn, you reap in the spring. This is the time of sowing.
And so in Hebrew, the word for sowing is the word, Zara. Try it. Zara means to sow to sow.
And the thing is that we’re gonna talk from this principle of the kingdom of sewing, and there is so much in this that touches every part of life, of your life.
It can change your life. It can transform your life. It is a law of the kingdom.
So first, on, uh, some key foundational laws of the kingdom regarding sowing. Number 1.
And you know you’ve heard this, of course, but there’s so much to it. You reap what you sow.
In the natural, of course, you know, if you plant, you know, you plant in, uh, wheat in the free and the and the harvest or the sowing time, in the harvest time, you reap wheat.
You don’t reap oranges because whatever you sowed you reap, you will reap what you sow.
So what that means in life, spiritually, see, you, if you’re born again, you are spiritual children of Israel, you’re a citizen of Israel.
So you also saw, you know, in Israel, they sold, you saw, but you saw in the spirit, you saw in other things.
But we all have to be sewers. Whether we’ve ever sowed a seed or not, you are a sower.
So the thing is what you sow in your life you will reap. You’ll reap forever.
You’ll also reap many things now as well. Number 2, if you don’t sow, you will not reap.
So if you’re not reaping, it’s cause you didn’t sow. That’s a law of the kingdom.
You have to sow or you don’t reap.
Next law of the sewers, the sower is one who affects his surroundings or her surroundings goes into the field.
The field is barren. Nothing’s in the field.
Sows the seed That next that next spring, that whole field is transformed because of what the sower did.
So the sower is one who transforms his or her surroundings or world.
We are called to touch the world, not just be in the world and not be of the world.
We’re called also to touch the world.
We’re not to live our lives reacting to the world, reacting to whatever happens, reacting to every circumstance.
We are here to affect every circumstance, to affect the world, to change it. We are to be that.
Think about Messiah. Messiah’s life was not primarily that he’s reacting to everything going on.
He’s acting upon the world more than anything else.
You are called more than anything else to act upon the world. You are a sower.
A sower has the power to transform the world.
You know, I mean, literally, you take a sit you take a field that’s and all of a sudden, it becomes a transformed field.
You have the power to do that in the world. A barren world to transform the world. Transform.
We are not on earth to complain about the situation.
We are here to transform, touch the situation, transform the situation.
You’re working on a job. You’re not there just to work and to get money.
That’s what I’m here to get. No.
You’re there while you’re working, not only to do your best job, but also to be sewing for god.
When I worked on a job, I would share the gospel, you know, in in a way that worked, I would share the gospel on that job.
And I’m that’s I saw several people, many people come to the lord. Through that.
You are supposed to be doing that wherever you go.
Next key sowers transform their surroundings by giving.
The act of sowing is the act of giving. They’re you’re giving to the earth.
Sowers don’t take from the field. They give to the field. Earth is our fields.
This life is our field is your field.
You are not on in this field to primarily take from the field.
You’re here going to give to the field, give to every situation.
You’ll get you’ll get blessing, but your job, your aim, your heart has to be. I’m here to bless.
I’m here to give. I don’t need from this world. I need from god. I got from god.
I’m here to bless the world.
Next key sowers not only give, they give life, a seed is a a form of life.
And so when you give a seed, you’re giving life.
So if you’re a sower, you are on earth to give life.
To give hope, to give encouragement, to give faith, to give blessing, to give life.
What is the seed, the primary seed, the first seed that you are to give, the first seed that you’re to give is the word of god.
The Bible says the word is seed. The seed in the parable.
When the lord talked about the parable of the sower, he said, what? The seed is the word of god.
How is the seed of word of god? Or seed is a symbol of the word of god?
Well, think about it. A seed is this this, uh, this object that has life in it, the word of god has life in it, the seed has genetic DNA has DNA in there.
That’s in there. That is gonna then produce. Well, the word of god has the essence of god in it.
The word of god has the nature of god in it. It has it has and so it it’s life.
There’s life and seed is life in potential form. You can amazing thing is you can have a seed.
You know, sometimes they discover these things when they do archaeology.
They discover these ancient, uh, vessels that have seeds in them from, like, the days of Egypt 2000, 3000 years ago, And you can take that seed and plant it, and it becomes a living thing.
So it’s potential. We wanna talk about that. But you are to sew.
So you’ve got the word of god. You’re to sew it in evangelism.
Every single believer is to be sharing the gospel, every single one.
And if you don’t, don’t complain about what’s happening in America, if you’re not doing something about it.
But here’s something we don’t often think about. Say you’re what? Yeah.
But I’m going through I’m not thinking about sewing. I’m going through a problem. That’s all I’m thinking about.
I’m going through that situation. Well, how about so to the problem.
The problem doesn’t that’s supposed to stop you from sewing.
The problem when someone goes to a field that’s got no life, that’s a problem. They sew to it.
So to your problem. You’re in the midst of a problem. So to it. So god’s words.
So god’s love. You know, you’re in an argument. So god’s words.
Go so his love in the middle of see what happens.
You know, sometimes you hear on the radio, I don’t you know, they have these shows or you see it on online or on television.
They have these five natural shows. Now I’m not into that whole realm.
I don’t know all these things, but I hear the the thing they’ll talk about Ginnie Mae’s and and annuities and I’d have whatever.
It’s, you know, but they will say things like seed money, high yield, low yields, coming to fruition, returns, bearing, bearing, All these words are from agriculture.
All these words are linked to sowing and reaping.
And what it says in the financial world If you have money and you don’t sew it, it just stays what it is.
If you sew it, now they’re talking about know, of course, the spirit’s different.
They’re talking about how to get more money. But they sew it, and they it’s the same principle.
Not they’re not sewing it to god most likely, but they’re sewing it to something And then it comes back to them and yields them.
Now if you just hold on to the money, not only does it just does not nothing happens, but inflation eats away at it.
Only if you invest it so that’s a form of saying sewing.
You give, but you’re gonna get it back.
Now, you know, and and it’s synergy because the lord spoke of in the realm of finance and that, you know, someone spoke to me in between service and said, you know, I’ve heard about sowing reaping with finances, but you’re talking about everything.
Yes. It’s everything. It’s not just finances and and it’s everything.
And it but it does include finances, but it’s everything.
And now the other thing is that there are people who preach the this this, uh, they take one form of this and use it that, hey, the whole thing is give so you can get this And given god wants you rich, and, listen, that’s not the gospel.
God wants to bless you. He wants to bless you with the best. What you need. Best.
He’ll bless you, but he does it also affects the financial realm as well.
God used a picture of the financial realm to speak about this he spoke about the talents.
He said the master goes away. He gives there’s money to his servants. He comes back.
The one said I invested in this, and you got this back, you know, tenfold. I’ve invested in this.
You got this 1. And then the one says, okay. What do you happen to know?
I didn’t do anything because I know you were gonna take it from me.
If I if I got interest, you’re gonna take it. So I just buried it.
He said, you wicked servant. He said, you should have sowed it.
So the thing is that what you have in life, we’re on this lit we’re in this world This is the world that we can sew in.
When you’re in heaven, we don’t know if there’s any sewing going on. They’re sewing now.
This is the harvest time. You know, that’s the kingdom time.
But the only time you can affect what’s happening then is now.
You know, when you’re in heaven, you can’t affect the year. You can’t affect your past life.
You get but now you can affect your future life.
But now so now is the this world is made for sewing because you can’t take anything out of it.
Everything potential until you do it, but when you sew it, when you we’ll you go for it, then it comes back at you.
And so, and so starting with finance, I know many people in the lord who who were in debt, and yet the ones that said, listen, I don’t care I’m in debt.
I’m always gonna give to god first. I’m gonna tithe. I mean, and you know what?
God always took them out. God always took them out of the debt. God blesses. That’s part of it.
For your own sake, we don’t I don’t say this because I’m I’m not even looking at what the accounts are.
I just know that for your own blessing and for the kingdom, we need to give.
You know, we need to give. And god god does this.
Now there’s so now now and you don’t give to get, although you can give knowing you’re gonna get and be blessed with that, but you give to bless god.
Because you have, and knowing he’s gonna bless you on top. So what a great thing.
God gives you in the first place, then you take what he gave you, and you give it, and he gives you more on top of it.
Everything you have is from god.
He wants you to get into the spirit of giving, because that’s his spirit. He’s loving. He’s generous.
He god so loved the world that he gave. Who is Messiah the gift? He’s like the seed.
And he went into the ground and then bore our salvation.
So that’s part of our life, unless a seed there goes, gives up, gives up, gives, he gave, and yet he bore life.
And now we are his we are little versions of Messiah. We are living his life.
So god establishes this in every area of your life. Give and you will reap.
The word in Hebrew, there’s there’s only a few words that come directly to English from Hebrew.
And one of them has to do with speaking. And the word is say it saper. Saper.
When he says it’s in the lord said to Moses, let’s say, to Moses, let’s say, to speak saper. Saper.
What’s the word? The word we get? Sapphire. The word sapphire. The word sapphire from speaking. Why?
Cause when you speak, it should be a jewel.
What you speak, what comes out should be, should be a treasure. You’re giving a gift to somebody.
You’re giving them a sapphire, and it’s a seed. So we are to sew our with our words.
That’s one way in words of are you sowing words of love? Words of encouragement?
In your marriage, are you sowing words of encouragement? Are you blessing? Well, my marriage is this.
I can’t until it mat well, the more so life. Not about what they did to you.
It’s about what the lord did to you. Do as he did to you. Due to them.
So you also saw when you do act of love, it says be zealous for good deeds.
Be zealous. We should want to wake up and say, what can I do?
What can I how can I bless people today? How can I bless the world?
And that and there’s another thing is that is that we we don’t think about it this way, but there’s another area of sowing, which you might not think of, and that is that there are things in your life that are things that god says get rid of it.
There might be distractions, might be an idol, might be an attachment, might be a habit, might be a sin, things you or things you hold on to, and it keeps you from being fruitful.
Well, you gotta get them out of your life. But here’s the little here’s the added secret. So them.
Not to, like, we just think, okay, I gotta get rid of them. But so don’t just let them vote.
Just say, lord, this is a gift to you. I’m giving this up. I’m giving up this Isaac.
I’m giving up this thing. Whether it’s good or bad, I’m giving up. Maybe it’s something from the past.
Sew it to god, it will become seed. He’ll bless it. He’ll bless that act of sowing.
And it actually will produce life.
It’s not just So get rid of it because you shouldn’t have it, or it’s not it’s hurting you.
When you sew it, it actually becomes life. God will bless it.
I was recently with Paul Wilbur who for those who don’t know who come he comes about usually once a year, incredible worship leader.
And we were at a an event, and we were talking about an event that we both did in England.
And where we shared, and that was good, but some things weren’t quite right about the people who what happened with the hosting of it He ended up losing tens of 1000 of dollars because they did wrong with him.
And he was waiting for them to make it up and finally, he said, okay. I’m releasing it.
But he said I gotta do more than that. He said, I’m not just releasing it.
I’m giving it to the lord.
I’m so in other words, I’m taking that money that I never got, but I could get it, but I’m giving it to the lord.
So all of a sudden, it wasn’t a loss it was a gift. Lord, I’m giving this.
You bless the pro bless those with, I’m giving it. I know you’re gonna bless. And here’s the secret.
There may be things in your life that were taken from you or that you lost or that, you know, or it was a heartbreak.
It’s gone. It was taken. And you’re in mourning, you’re even though you don’t think that your soul is kinda still in mourning of it, release it.
So it. Give it. Give it. Give it. See, if you give, it’s not taken from you anymore.
If you give nobody can take if you live a life where you’re giving, the enemy can’t take anything from you because you’re giving.
And even the things that were taken before in your past, Give it to god.
Lord, I give it as a gift. I release it. Those people did this to me, and they were wrong.
I’m giving it any rights I have. I’m giving it to you, lord. I’m sowing it. God will bless it.
It will become life. It will become life. Give so all things.
Even in your time, your time is something you have. It’s limited. We’re all gonna run out one time.
You can’t keep the time forever. Use the time. Give the time away to god. Give it to god’s purposes.
Parents, so do your children. So love, so words of love.
There’s so many parents who never speak love to their children.
And so many, and many of you have had never had it, Doesn’t matter. Your love now.
So to your children. So, and you will reap, and they will be blessed.
Apply this secret in another way. Here’s the secret of the kingdom in another way.
That is what do you want in life?
What do you what do you want to get out of life.
Well, you got all the best things from god. But what do you want?
And even as you go through this life from the lord, what do you want?
Whatever that is, sew it, give it instead. You want to be blessed? Okay.
You want people to bless it? Bla focus on blessing others.
Whatever you want blessed because it says, you reap what you sow. So what you wanna get, give.
You want blessing bless people. You want love, forget about being loved by them.
That’s the way to get that’s the way to get curses on your life. They didn’t love me.
They didn’t love forget all that. You’re not a beggar. You’re not you’re not you’re not so desperate. Empty.
You’re a child of god. Give it. Give love. Focus on giving love for about being loved. K.
You already got love by it. You only got all the love for god. Give.
And you’re gonna get love on top of it. You wanna be recognized by other people. Forget that.
Recognize other people. You know, you wanna be thanked by people. Forget that. Thank them.
You’ll be thanked anyway, and god’s gonna thank you as well.
You want grace you want people to give you grace or mercy, give mercy to other people.
Give grace to them. Yes. Because what you give, you’re gonna get back.
If you are if you’re a judgmental, you you come down on everybody when they mess up, guess what’s gonna happen in your life?
Not good. But even when you’re in the midst of a problem and a crisis or a hard time, don’t stop sewing.
All the more, It’s written in Psalm 126, those who sow in tears will reap with rejoicing.
So you’re in tears. Okay. So in it, and you’ll reap with rejoicing.
Get in be unconditional you’re giving because you’re unconditionally blessed. You don’t bless because they blessed you.
You don’t bless because they didn’t bless you. You bless because god blessed you. It doesn’t matter. It’s unconditional.
If they hate me, I still bless. It doesn’t mean I’m it doesn’t mean I’m not weak.
You’re not a doormat. You’re like the lord. You bless because of strength because of what you have.
If you’re you’re in prison for your faith, you still bless and you saw when that prison.
As again, I know people who did.
They sowed to the prison and pea, and they bore life people got their their captors got saved.
There was a a true story of mailman in California, and he used he hated this root because we always bleak bleak bleak landscape.
So he decided to do something.
He actually, what he would give the letters as he’s driving along, he had a bag of seeds every day, and he’d sowed the seeds on the ground, throw it to the land, throw it to He ended up transforming that entire region.
Literally, people say, look, this is the tell the story.
Wherever you go, so the life of god in the restaurant. Don’t just tip so the love of god.
But the waitress, so the word of god, so the gospel.
You have to If you don’t, you’re not gonna see it. If you do, you’re gonna see it.
So at the bank, so they’re gonna get into it. Alright. So five people won’t come to the lord.
The sixth one comes to the lord is gonna make your life.
And you’ll have if it happens every day, you’re gonna have a lot of people coming to the lord.
Do it. Be loose with it. Be liberal with it.
The sense of the good liberal, but just spread spread it good liberal.
See, this is the one place you’re not to be conservative about with a seat of god.
You can change your world. You’re in the middle of an argument, sow it. See what happens.
In the middle of a crazy situation, sow it.
That was on a mission to Russia, and it was the last day. And we had Russian money.
And we went to a street, right, just to a street market, and they had this book that I really was interested in.
And I was and I asked the price. They told me I said, the guy’s ripped me off.
It’s too high. I tried to negotiate, you know, when we were on the street, you know, he wouldn’t budge.
So I walked away, you know, that wise, you know, negotiation, you have to be able to walk away.
Next day, I’m in the airport leaving Russia, and my pockets are filled with Russian money that’s gonna be worth nothing.
And I thought in a second, it’s worth nothing. How foolish I was.
Because here, it doesn’t matter if it was overpriced. Right now, it’s nothing. I’ve got nothing.
It was gonna be nothing anyway. I was gonna get I was gonna lose whatever I had.
At least if I did it, I’d have a book. Now I have nothing.
Well, you see, we’re all heading to the airport. We’re all leaving this life.
Whatever you hold on to, you lose. It’ll be worth nothing in heaven You can’t take it with you.
You can’t transfer it. There’s no out of state checks in heaven. Being cashed.
But whatever you give away gets converted into heavenly currency.
Whatever you give away to the lord, his purposes, his kingdom, Whatever you did for the lord, you have forever.
So don’t hold on. Don’t be make the mistake.
A foolish mistake of trying to hold on to what you can’t keep.
Give what you can’t hold on to anyway.
That is not wise and that you might get what you can’t lose.
This is the world. This world is the world of the harvest.
This life is the life of the harvest. This is the time of the harvest.
It’s to spread the gospel number 1. Spread the word numb and then spread everything good. Give good.
So to your own life. They’ll tell you, take the word so to your own life and then sew around you.
In the world, it’s, say, they think, you know, the one who has the most at the end, most things wins.
No. No. They lose it just like everybody else. So they’re gonna lose more.
If you have every have a lot. The more you have, the more you lose at the end.
If you don’t have god. But in god, the one who prevailed, the one who’s the winner is the one who has given the most.
I told you the word to sow. What was it? Saurah. Saurah.
The word in Hebrew for the seed is the word Zera. Try it. Zera. Almost identical. Zera.
Zera. Why it’s saying the 2 are joined together the zera must be zara.
The zera, the seed must be sown or it’s wasted.
And that which is sown become seed in life. Learn. Apply.
