Prayer Email archive: (05/28/2001) seedtime and harvest |
Hello prayer warriors,
1. Prayer note: seedtime and harvest We've been talking about dominion. One of the first things that God gave to Adam was dominion. To recap, God created order from chaos. God created us to have dominion, to maintain order and subdue chaos. We only need order when there are things to be subdued. One of the keys of dominion is prayer. To subdue chaos in our lives, we need to proclaim God's authority over the situation and stand on His Word. We need to recognise that we have the authority to bring order into our lives. Situations in our lives will have to submit to what God's Word says and by what we claim over our lives in prayer. The second key to dominion is in the following verse: [Genesis 8:22] While the earth remaineth, seedtime and harvest, and cold and heat, and summer and winter, and day and night shall not cease. While the earth remains, and it still remains today, we see cold and heat, summer and winter, day and night. We cannot escape these elements. However, there are two elements in this scripture that we as humans can drive and that is the elements of seedtime and harvest, or what we commonly know as the law of sowing and reaping. While the earth remains, the law of seedtime and harvest is still be in operation. How does this affect us? Well, there are times in which we exercise dominion in our lives through prayer and there are other times that we exercise dominion in our lives through seed-time and harvest, or through both these keys. For example, I was recently suffering from prolonged coughing. For seven weeks, I have been coughing and coughing. I've seen the doctor four times and have taken four courses of antibiotics. The condition did not improve. I believe in divine healing and that God has healed me on the Cross but at the same time, I use the law of seedtime and harvest to plant seeds for my health. Instead of seeing the doctor again, I started taking health supplements almost daily, such as Vitamin C, pycnogenol, echinecia, etc. I started drinking less coffee and sleeping more. I started exercising more. I started sowing into my health. I am using one of the keys that God has given me to get back dominion over my health. We need to understand this law of seedtime and harvest and use it in our lives. Every day that we plant seeds, we are creating order and subduing chaos, and we are ensuring that there is continuous harvest in our lives. This law can be used not only in our health, but in our relationships, in our finances and other area of our lives. Do you know what is the interesting part of this? What happens when we stop planting seeds? If you stop planting seeds, one day you will wake up and find out that there is no more harvest. Everything moves to chaos when left by itself. Chaos grows on us. If you don't tend to a field, weeds will grow. If you don't maintain your house, it will not only be in a mess, but cob-webs will grow and dust will accumulate. If you don't maintain your car, it will break down. If you don't take care of your body, your health will deteriorate. Well, you get the point. If you find chaos creeping up in your life, don't worry. There are always things that you can do to reverse chaos and maintain order. God has given us another key. Besides praying and claiming God's Word through prayer, ask God for wisdom and start planting seeds! 2. New prayer requests: i. Pray for England and rest of Europe.
