Today's thought - 31 July 2026 (Water your seed)

 

How are you my friend? Today is Friday and we always have a business homecell in the morning and I can tell you that spending time with God and just sharing His Word has become a very important part of my journey. So, our Pastor was talking about persistence in your “Time” phase. I refer to it in my previous posts as God’s waiting room or consulting room.

Our Pastor said that if there are three things that we should do to help us carry on in our time phase and to help us to reach the harvest then they are prayer, persistence and faith. We know from my previous posts that we can only please God with faith (Hebrews 11:6) and faith without works is dead (James 2:17).

My verse today is from Proverbs. “Trust in the LORD with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding; In all your ways acknowledge Him, And He shall direct your paths” (Proverbs 3:5-6). Well, I suppose the whole Proverbs 3 is important but let us stop here for a moment.

Let’s break it down.

Prayer: prayer is a form of worship and in our prayer life we should not fall into a repetitive process of asking quickly and that is it. If I may suggest an idea or use my prayer time as an example. For me prayer is an intimate conversation between me and the Father. I always start by asking God to forgive if I had done anything to grieve the Holy Spirit (knowingly and unknowingly). Then I start to thank God for everything He has done and continues to do. I give Him all the praise and the glory for my work, health and the people He puts into my life (My church, Pastors, friends, colleagues, lawyers, advocate, psychiatrist, therapist, etc). Then I bring my requests to Him where I need help. “Be anxious for nothing, but in everything by prayer and supplication, with thanksgiving, let your requests be made known to God (Philippians 4:6)”.

Persistence: Luke 18:1 we read, “Then Jesus told his disciples a parable to show them that they should always pray and not give up”. The important part is the “not give up” part. This is vital to the success of your harvest. Do not stop but as the persistent widow that consistently pleaded with the unjust judge until he helped her. It is in our persistent prayer that we grow. In James 5:16 we read, “The earnest prayer of a righteous person has great power and produces wonderful results”. In other words, it produces harvest.

Faith: that is why we life by faith and not by sight. In Hebrews 11:1 we read, “Now faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen”.

My dear friend, please apply these three simple rules into your life and I promise you, you will see more miracles and more of God in you. You will be at peace, and all things will work out for good in all areas of your life.

Have an awesome day.
