Seed Principle

2 Sam.24:24 “No, I insist on buying it, for I will not present burnt offerings to the Lord my God that have cost me nothing.” So David paid him fifty pieces of silver for the threshing floor and the oxen.”

David bought that threshing floor because he made up his mind not to give God worthless sacrifices. When God was going to build the temple of Solomon, guess where He put it? The temple of Solomon is sitting on the threshing floor of Onan the Jebusite. Imagine the harvest from David’s life flowing through generations because he refused to give a seed that cost him nothing.

He insisted on paying for the oxen and the threshing floor even though he could have gotten it for free because he wanted to honour God. David did not make that move because he wanted a harvest that will span for generations. Sometimes when you do something to honour God, God will shock you with honour so great, it will take generations unborn to fully enjoy it. I want to challenge you to ask God if He requires a seed from you in this season and what that seed would be. Let Him tell you and ensure you give the seed. Give the seed and see if God will not do His part of the equation.

However, the greatest seed you can give is your life. Isaiah said to God, “do not look any further, here I am send me”. If you have never surrendered your life to Jesus, then now is the time to surrender to Jesus and make Him Lord over your life. If you have given your life to Jesus but you keep unearthing yourself from God’s Presence, then it is time to surrender completely and die to self so that you can have new life in Christ Jesus and reap the harvest of eternal life. I pray that as you commit to live for Jesus daily, that the destiny God has called you to fulfill will be actualized, in Jesus Name.

I pray for everyone surrendering their lives to Jesus, those that are giving their lives back to Jesus, and those who have been faithfully walking with the Lord Jesus, that God will hide your life in the bundle of life that is with the Lord and make you fulfill the purpose for which He created you. I pray that God will give us all, the grace to operate the ordinances of heaven and to control the earth, to the glory of His Name, in Jesus Name.

Prayer: I declare in the Name of Jesus, that I will not present offerings that cost me nothing to the Lord my God. I will honour God with my first and my best, in Jesus Name. Amen!
