The law of multiplication II

ByPastor Rufus Ajiboye Reading Time: 4 minutes
Be blessed on this wonderful day that the Lord created for us to praise His marvellous Name! I pray for this word today not only to inspire you, but also to motivate you for action that would change the whole course of your life.For several days we have been talking about the power and potential hidden in a small seed. Yesterday we viewed the parable of Jesus about growing of seed. Jesus said that after the scattering of seed there will be harvest. If we sow the seed into good ground then this seed will bring harvest. We also talked about growth and multiplication being a process and not an event. If we want to see increase in our lives, we cannot look for short cuts. This process involves both man’s part and God’s part. Man’s part implies sowing of the seed. Seed is given to us not for having and eating; it is given for sowing. Besides, we need to take care of the sown seed just like a farmer does. And then God will do His part, – He will make the seed grow.
“I planted, Apollos watered, but God gave the increase. So then neither he who plants is anything, nor he who waters, but God who gives the increase. Now he who plants and he who waters are one, and each one will receive his own reward according to his own labour”  (1 Corinthians, 3:6-8).
These verses talk of labour. It is very important to understand that God wants us to work. Our job is to plant and water the seed, and then God will give the increase. There is another passage of Scripture that reveals another important principle.
“Those who sow in tears shall reap in joy. He continually goes forth weeping, bearing seed for sowing, shall doubtless come again with rejoicing, bringing sheaves with him” (Psalm 126:5-6).
This Scripture confirms that the one who sows and labours – even if it takes tears – will doubtlessly reap with joy. If we use our God given seed correctly, which means if we sow the seed even with tears then God promises us abundant harvest and lots of joy. All these parables of Jesus tell us of the kingdom of God.
«And He said, „The kingdom of God is as if a man should scatter seed on the ground…» (Мark, 4:26).
Dear friends, we are the children of God, and every one of us is filled with the seed of God – the seed of God’s kingdom. God wants His kingdom to multiply and grow. He desires His kingdom to grow through us and spread in the world. What do we do with the God given seed? The seed I am talking about is the talents, gifts, abilities that God has showered upon us. What do we do with all this wealth? Do we sow them? Do we use them? If we do sow them, do we expect harvest? God desires for us to expect harvest and increase. Expectation is a spirit of faith. Where there is an expectation, then we will reap what we have sown. If there is no expectation, then the situation is clear opposite.
«Therefore be patient, brethren, until the coming of the Lord. See how the farmer waits for the precious fruit of the earth, waiting patiently for it until it receives the early and latter rain» (James, 5:7).
Having done everything that depends on him, the farmer waits patiently for the fruit to come forth, and through this confident and patient waiting he prepares himself for the harvest. God desires for us to have the same attitude towards the seed of life that God has given us.May God bless you! Pastor Rufus Ajiboye

  • Prayer is a two-way communication

    AutorsPastor Rufus Ajiboye Reading Time: 5 minutes
    Like I said, it is not what I tell God that it is the most important thing in prayer; it is what God wants to tell me. I will explain why it is so. Is there anything you can tell Him that He does not know! Is there anything at all? He knows everything. You may think that nobody knows what you are going through and that nobody knows the problems you have and how hard your life is. That may apply to people, but not to God. God knows everything! Even before you start praying, God knows everything you may want to tell Him. God also knows why these things are happening to you.

  • How to develop a habit of prayer in our life?

    «Thanks God, I already have such habit». I am glad about you. The other might say «I´ve already tried, but failed to do so”. I am glad about you too.I pray today, so that this Word helps you to overcome your weakness and instability solving this issue.First of all, I want to stress out the fact, that prayer is love relationships with God. Why do I mention that and why it´s so important when you try to make prayer as your habit. We already discussed it, that prayer is not learning of different methods about how convince God to do our will. Lack of necessity to pray is one of few reasons why believers pray just a little.

  • Habit is a compilation of knowledge, skills and willingness III

    AutorsPastor Rufus Ajiboye Reading Time: 4 minutes
    If we want to have fruitful prayer life, then prayer must become a habit. In order for that to happen we must gain some skills in the area of prayer. Skill means how we do something. When you know what you need to do and why you need to do it, the next step is HOW to do it. If you don’t know how, this activity can’t become a habit. But you won’t be able to learn how, unless you actually start doing it. I won’t know how to pray, unless I start praying. I am sure we already know very much about prayer. You can put to practice this knowledge that you have. Thus you obtain skills. Skills are developed by putting knowledge to practice.
