Eccl. 7:12-13 (NIV)
Wisdom is a shelter as money is a shelter, but the advantage of knowledge is this: that wisdom preserves the life of its possessor. Consider what God has done: Who can straighten what He has made crooked?
Eccl. 7:13 (TLB)
See the way God does things and fall into line. Don’t fight the facts of nature.
A lack of faith will stop you from entering into a place of rest, peace and order…
THE LAW OF THE HARVEST
1. Your SEED must be planted.
Gen. 8:22
“While the earth remains, seedtime and harvest ... shall not cease.”
2. What you sow is what you REAP.
Gen. 1:12
And the earth brought forth grass, the herb that yields seed according to its kind, and the tree that yields fruit, whose seed is in itself according to its kind. And God saw that it was good.
Gal. 6:7
... for whatever a man sows, that he will also reap.
Your live n everything is a seed. When u sows it, u will reap it.
Mal. 3:10
“Bring all the tithes into the storehouse that there may be food in My house, and try Me now in this,” says the LORD of hosts, “If I will not open for you the windows of heaven and pour out for you such blessing that there will not be room enough to receive it.”
3. The QUALITY you sow is the quality you reap.
An offer doesn’t means tt the person is obligated to receive or accept.
Mal. 1:8
“And when you offer the blind as a sacrifice, is it not evil? And when you offer the lame and sick, is it not evil? Offer it then to your governor! Would he be pleased with you? Would he accept you favorably?” says the LORD of hosts.
Prov. 3:9-10 (TLB)
Honor the Lord by giving him the first part of all your income, and he will fill your barns with wheat and barley and overflow your wine vats with the finest wines.
4. The MEASURE you sow is the measure you reap.
2 Cor. 9:6 (TLB)
But remember this—if you give little, you will get little. A farmer who plants just a few seeds will get only a small crop, but if he plants much, he will reap much.
Luke 6:38
“... For with the same measure that you use, it will be measured back to you.”
5. Sow TO your HARVEST SIZE not from your harvest size.
Gen. 26:1,12-13
There was a famine in the land ... Then Isaac sowed in that land, and reaped in the same year a hundredfold; and the LORD blessed him. The man began to prosper, and continued prospering until he became very prosperous.
6. You must render your seed USELESS.
John 12:24
“Most assuredly, I say to you, unless a grain of wheat falls into the ground and dies, it remains alone; but if it dies, it produces much grain.”
Dun give with ulterior motive, sow without conditions…
7. Your seed must be planted on GOOD GROUND.
Matt. 13:8
“But others fell on good ground and yielded a crop: some a hundredfold, some sixty, some thirty.”
Mark 10:29-30
So Jesus answered and said, “Assuredly, I say to you, there is no one who has left house ... or lands, for My sake and the gospel’s, who shall not receive a hundredfold now in this time—houses ... and lands.”
Hag. 2:18-19
“Consider now from this day ... that the foundation of the LORD’S temple was laid—consider it: From this day I will bless you.”
8. The harvest always takes TIME.
Mark 4:26-27
And He said, “The kingdom of God is as if a man should scatter seed on the ground, and should sleep by night and rise by day, and the seed should sprout and grow ...”
Gal. 6:9
And let us not grow weary while doing good, for in due season we shall reap if we do not lose heart.
Eccl. 11:1
Cast your bread upon the waters, for you will find it after many days.
9. A part of your harvest is for SOWING AGAIN.

God is able to make it up to you by giving you everything you need and more so that there will not only be enough for your own needs but plenty left over to give joyfully to others.
2 Cor. 9:10-11 (TLB)
For God, who gives seed to the farmer to plant, and later on good crops to harvest and eat, will give you more and more seed to plant and will make it grow so that you can give away more and more fruit from your harvest. Yes, God will give you much so that you can give away much ...
10. God gives seed to the SOWER.
2 Cor. 9:10
Now may He who supplies seed to the sower, and bread for food, supply and multiply the seed you have sown and increase the fruits of your righteousness.
THE LAW OF ABILITY
Deut. 8:18 “But remember the LORD your God, for it is He who gives you the ability to produce wealth, and so confirms His covenant, which He swore to your forefathers, as it is today” (NIV).
1. Ability is the POWER, SKILLS or RESOURCE to accomplish something.
2. Life distributes to everyone ACCORDING to his or her ability.
3. God expects you to RAISE the LEVEL of your ability.
4. Ability is increased by USE.
5. Your ability always grows to the level of your DREAMS.
Prov. 18:9 (Amplified)
He who is loose and slack in his work is brother to him who is a destroyer and he who does not use his endeavors to heal himself is brother to him who commits suicide.
6. Inability has more to do with a BAD ATTITUDE.
(In life, we are possessors of nothing and stewards of everything.)
Your attitude determines ur altitude. Attutude is everything. Your attitude is ur mental n emotional capacity...
7. With ability comes HIGHER RESPONSIBILITY.
Responsibility = Respone to ability
Luke 12:48
“... to whom much is given, from him much will be required; and to whom much has been committed, of him they will ask the more.”
8. As ability increases, so does the ATTRACTION of OPPORTUNITY.
Prov. 18:16
A man’s gift makes room for him, and brings him before great men.
9. Ability attracts ABILITIES.
10. Your ability is hindered or enhanced by the COMPANY you keep.
If u wan to be an eagle, u can't mix ard with turkey...
1 Cor. 15:33 (NIV)
Do not be misled: “Bad company corrupts good character.”
