Sowing and Reaping

Pastor Chris Oyakhilome's teaching on sowing seed-offerings in last month's issue of Rhapsody of Realities spoke so clearly to me that I wanted to share this excerpt:

"The ransom of a man's life are his riches" -Proverbs 13:8

Material riches that you ar eblessed with are not just for you and your family to enjoy and spend. They are the seeds the Lord provides you with to sow as offerings to ransom your life from evil.

Sowing seed-offerings over and above your tithe silences Satan and prevents him from gaining any foothold in your life. It obliterates all obstacles and snares in your path.

Money is often a weapon of war. When the walls seem to be closing in on you, you need to declare war in the realm of the spirit by taking a seed (somthing of value to you), speak over it by faith and hand it over to the Lord. That seed represents your understanding of the situation you are in and what you expect to come out of the situation as you hand it over to the Lord. When you operate in that kind of faith, no evil can touch you. God Himself becomes the only security you need and keeps you moving from victory to victory.

"May the Lord remember all your sacrifices and accept your offerings.

May He give you the desires of your heart and make all your plans succeed"

-Psalm 20:3-4
