Additionally, every divine opportunity and platform to
showcase your divine gifts is also harvest time as it is a platform to plant
your seeds and because every seed germinates and fruits, a harvest awaits you.
Therefore, do not be like the man who refused to plant because of winter –
Proverbs Chapter 20 verse 4 or the one who is always seeing fierce lions that are very determined
to kill him in the streets – Proverbs Chapters 22 verse 13, 26 verse 13.
Rather, be like the virtuous woman of Proverbs Chapter 31 verses 10 to 31 who
always took advantage of opportunities as the Bible instructs in Ecclesiastes
Chapter 11 verses 1 to 6. Thereafter, take instructions on caring for your
seeds, pre-planted, planted and harvested from Isaiah Chapter 28 verses 23 to
29, and Proverbs Chapter 27 verses 23 to 27.
Any one or people who fritters and waste divine resources
are actually begging poverty to visit them speedily. This is because saved up
resources, well managed resources always translate into surplus while wasted
resources is as good as multiplying zero by zero or adding zero to zero to get
zero. If the people of the Biblical Egypt had not paid attention to Joseph and
wasted the surplus food resources from the bountiful harvests of seven years,
they would have probably alongside their neighbours and other nations who came
to buy food from them in Egypt gone into extinction on account of famine and
hunger. Even if they had resorted to cannibalism, seven years was plenty of
time for them to eat each other up. Please read Genesis Chapter 50 verses 18 to
21. Fortunately, Pharaoh and his court not only paid attention, Joseph was also
appointed to manage the resources of Egypt. And succeed greatly he did;
ensuring food security for more than seven years until the long drought was
over.
