THE GOOD GROUND

Memorise:
And other fell on good ground, and did yield fruit that sprang up and increased; and brought forth, some thirty, and some sixty, and some an hundred. .. Mark 4:8

Read:
Mark 4:20

Message

Today I will discuss what it means to sow on good ground Mark 4:20 tells us that the seeds which fell on good ground brought forth a harvest. This implies that they did not fall by the wayside, they were watered by God, and they were not suffocated by thorns, For you to sow on good ground and reap bountiful harvests, you must do the following:

1. Honour God with your resources and obey all His principles for financial success.

   Honour the Lord with thy substance, and with the firstfruits of all thine increase: So shall thy barns be filled with plenty, and thy presses shall burst out with new wine.    ...Proverbs 3:9-10

2. Cheerfully support God's work financially. Giving towards God's work can be by supporting a kingdom project, blessing a church, or sowing into the lives of God's servants.

   Every man according as he purposeth in his heart, so let him give; not grudgingly, or of necessity: for God loveth a cheerful giver.    ...2 Corinthians 9:7

3. Give to the poor and the needy. When you stretch out your hands to bless the less privileged, God blesses you in retum.

   Whoever is generous to the poor lends to the Lord, and he will repay him for his deed.    ...Proverbs 19:17, ESV

4. Be generous. Generosity attracts God's blessings; whatever you give to others, you will receive in multiple folds.

   The liberal soul shall be made fat: and he that watereth shall be watered also himself.    ...Proverbs 11:25

5. Wait for God's instructions before making financial decisions. When you seek His face before making decisions, He will guide you along the right path, but those who hastily make deals or investments without seeking God get their fingers burnt.

Trust in the Lord with all thine heart; and lean not unto thine own understanding. In all thy ways acknowledge him, and he shall direct thy paths.    ...Proverbs 3:5-6

Beloved, if you have been sowing your seeds by the the wayside, on stony ground, or among thorns, the good news is that if you change sowing your seeds your ways and start living by the principles above, you will pray that the Lord will restore all that you may have lost from sowing wrongly, and your seeds will produce great harvests from now, in Jesus' name.

There shall be showers of

  1. "There shall be showers of blessing:"
    This is the promise of love;
    there shall be seasons relreshing,
    Sent from the Saviour above.


    2. Showers of blessing,
    Showers of blessing we need;
    Mercy drops round us are falling.
    Bitt for the showers ive plead.


  2. "There shall be showers of blessing"
    Precious reviving again;
    Over the hills and the valleys,
    Sound of abundance of rain.
  3. "There shall be showers of blessing:"
    Send them upon ns. Oh Lord!
    Grant to us now a refreshing:
    Come and now honour Thy Word.
  4. "There shall be showers of blessing:"
    Oh, that today they might fall.
    Now, as to God, we're confessing.
    No was on Jesus we call!
  5. "There shall be showers of blessing:"
    If we but trust and obey;
    There shall be seasons relresliing.
    If we let God have His way.
