In Season
Deuteronomy 28:12 “The Lord shall open unto thee his good treasure, the heaven to give the rain unto thy land in his season, and to bless all the work of thine hand: and thou shalt lend unto many nations, and thou shalt not borrow.” (KJV)
Joel 2:23-25 “Be glad then, ye children of Zion, and rejoice in the Lord your God: for he hath given you the former rain moderately, and he will cause to come down for you the rain, the former rain, and the latter rain in the first month. And the floors shall be full of wheat, and the vats shall overflow with wine and oil. And I will restore to you the years that the locust hath eaten, the cankerworm, and the caterpiller, and the palmerworm, my great army which I sent among you.” (KJV, emphasis added).

Deep Dive
Philippians 3:1 “Further, my brothers and sisters, rejoice in the Lord! It is no trouble for me to write the same things to you again, and it is a safeguard for you.” (NIV, emphasis added).
Over the next few days, we are going to, by the grace of God, distil things further and trust that God will give us understanding in the Name of Jesus. Read the rest of this entry
Even You
Deuteronomy 11:14 “then he will send the rains in their proper seasons—the early and late rains—so you can bring in your harvests of grain, new wine, and olive oil.”
The nation of Israel had experienced a lot of droughts because of their sin. Usually, the latter rain comes in Spring, about four to six months after the fertilizing rain (former rain). But God is kind. Read the rest of this entry
The Rain = Former + Latter
Joel 2:23 “People of Zion, shout with joy and happiness in the Eternal, your God; The drought is over; He has sent the early autumn rain as a sign of His faithfulness. He has poured down heavy rain, autumn and spring, as before.” (The Voice)
Matthew 13:24-25 “Here is another story Jesus told: “The Kingdom of Heaven is like a farmer who planted good seed in his field. But that night as the workers slept, his enemy came and planted weeds among the wheat, then slipped away.” Read the rest of this entry
Hold On!
Revelation 3:11 “I am coming soon. Hold on to what you have, so that no one will take your crown.”
Do not let anybody steal your crown. Acts 3:6 “But Peter said, “I don’t have any silver or gold for you. But I’ll give you what I have. In the name of Jesus Christ the Nazarene, get up and walk!” You can only give what you have. Read the rest of this entry
Separation
Isaiah 55:10 “Rain and snow fall from the sky and don’t return until they have watered the ground. Then the ground causes the plants to sprout and grow, and they produce seeds for the farmer and food for people to eat.” (ERV).
What is going on here? If the land is good, tilled, and you have ploughed yourself in righteousness, when it rains on the land, what sprouts is dependent on what is in the land. If what is in the land is weeds, what will sprout? Read the rest of this entry
S.L.S.
Leviticus 20:22 “You must keep all my decrees and regulations by putting them into practice; otherwise the land to which I am bringing you as your new home will vomit you out.”
Spiritual irresponsibility shuts the heavens and causes problems for the land. Deuteronomy 11:17 “Then the Lord’s anger will burn against you, and he will shut up the heavens so that it will not rain and the ground will yield no produce,
Causes
Leviticus 18:28 “And if you defile the land, it will vomit you out as it vomited out the nations that were before you.” (NIV)
To walk in consistent abundance, you need to understand the intricacies of the land. How the land functions and what causes challenges for the land. Some lands are operating at ten percent capacity. Read the rest of this entry
The Land
Deuteronomy 28:12 “The Lord will open to you His good treasure, the heavens, to give the rain to your land in its season, and to bless all the work of your hand. You shall lend to many nations, but you shall not borrow.” (NKJV)
The things you need to operate to walk in consistent abundance are what we have called the S.L.S of Abundance. And the first “S” is the Systems. The rain is a system; the rain is not a miracle. Read the rest of this entry
Production System
Psalm 65:9-10 “You take care of the land. You water it and make it fertile… That’s how you make the crops grow. You pour rain on the ploughed fields; you soak the fields with water. You make the ground soft with rain, and you make the young plants grow.” (ERV)
