Sow Your Seed on Fertile Ground.


I have read in many parts of Israel there is a layer of limestone which lay an inch or so beneath the surface of the ground. This layer traps the moisture, and for a brief period of time, a plant growing there may appear to flourish. But as soon a dry spell comes the moisture quickly dissipates. Because of the limestone, the plants cannot sink its roots and soon withers and dies.

Mark 4: 3 – 9 AMP
“Listen! A sower went out to sow the seed; and as he was sowing, some seed fell by the road, and the birds came and ate it up. Other seed fell on rocks where there was not much soil, and immediately a plant sprang up because the soil had no depth. And when the sun came up, the plant was scorched; and because it had no root, it dried up and withered away.  Other seed fell among thorns, and the thorns came up and choked it, and it yielded no grain. And other seed fell into good soil, and as the plants grew and increased, they yielded a crop and produced thirty, sixty, and a hundred times [as much as had been sown]. And He said, “He who has ears to hear, let him hear and heed My words.”

Reading the Book of Mark brings me to a very important point today, sowing. It took me a very long time to completely trust God with my finances. The funny thing is I don't have a permanent job and I don't have the security most people have when employed permanently. I decided to give my tithes and also help other people.

I feel that I still need to give to God's people, Israel the Jewish people. It is my dream to travel to Israel one day perhaps God will open a door for me. God spoke to Abraham and said: "I will bless those who bless you, and I will curse him who curses you, and in you, all the families of the earth shall be blessed." Genesis 12 verse 3.

The law of sowing comes from God's word and I want to be obedient and honour my God. I believe that I need to also be patient "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 rains." James 5 verse 7.
Prayer
Abba Father I thank You Lord for today, thank You for the outpouring of the Spirit. Lord, I pray that Your Spirit will touch the lives of every person who reads this blog today. I pray that we all will give to the Jewish people and that we will help them. I pray Lord for peace in Israel and I ask that Your Spirit will touch the lives of each person today. Blessing in abundance and I pray that You will keep each one safe. Lord, I plead the blood of Jesus Christ of Nazareth over each person today. Amen

2nd Wedding Anniversary!

Hey, hey it is my 2 nd anniversary!   This has been an interesting time in my life and I must be honest I am starting to see the changes in my own life.    Firstly remember I am a city girl with this bad ass attitude, my way or the highway.   Ah, now let me tell you that doesn’t work like this.   My husband has a firm hand over me and keeps me in toe.   I am still my own person and have many new interests.    How was my day today?   Well the normal, got out of bed at 04h30 and then left the house by 06h00 arriving at work at 07h00.   Then to top it off in an early morning meeting at 07h30 to 08h30, then back in the office.   I worked on three projects; getting information from people isn’t that easy.   I firstly completed my own scope of work, followed up with the suppliers and then going back to the next person.   As I work according to my time keeping schedule I then finally got to lunch time.   I...

Wisdom in Trusting God

Proverbs 3: 5-6 NIV “Trust in the LORD with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding; in all your ways acknowledge him, and he will make your paths straight.” My journey has been really interesting and there are days when I find it really difficult to trust in God.  On those days I go and make all kinds of plans and I think and worry about the matter at hand and at the end of that day I am tired, frustrated and I feel sick to my stomach.  Are you able to relate?   It sounds so easy when you read these words “Trust in the LORD with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding;”  Many times I take my problems to the LORD and I leave them with the LORD and after some serious thinking and worrying I go back to the LORD and take the problems back. This has been something I did for a number of years and lately, I have realized it has to change, I have to trust in the LORD.  After all, God is the creator and knows the plans for...
