An uncommon seed creates an uncommon Harvest! 1 Kings 17:13, 15-16 13 And Elijah said to her, "Do not fear; go and do as you have said, but make me a small cake from it first, and bring it to me; and afterward make some for yourself and your son. 15 So she went away and did according to the word of Elijah; and she and he and her household ate for many days. The bin of flour was not used up, nor did the jar of oil run dry, according to the word of the Lord which He spoke by Elijah.

Sowing and Reaping! Many have the attitude of reaping without sowing. However, the law of harvest demands that the seed precedes the harvest! It is impossible for us to ever bypass the law of sowing and reaping. Genesis 8:22 Malachi 3:6 For I am the Lord. I do not change.

The natural man cannot receive Spiritual things easily! 1 Corinthians 2:14 But the natural man does not receive the things of the Spirit of God, for they are foolishness to him; nor can he know them, because they are spiritually discerned. You can produce what you want in your future from something you are holding today. The widow had some flour and bread that was not enough for her tomorrow, she gave it to man of God and it created a future for her.

GOD IS the TRUE source of increase! Everything comes from God. Colossians 1:16-17 For by him were all things created that are in the heaven and that are in the earth, visible and invisible. Nothing happens without God’s permission. 16 whether thrones or dominions or principalities or powers. God wants you to have enough finances to support Ministers and Missions throughout the world to preach the gospel. Romans 10:15 And how shall they preach except they be sent!

Cultivate habit of obedience! Not partial but COMPLETE obedience. Obedience is the only thing God ever requires. Isaiah 1:19 If you are willing and obedient, you will eat the good of the land. The only pain that God knows is to be doubted. His only pleasure is to be believed. Whenever God commands He bestows the power for obedience, if we can receive it.

Cultivate habit of obedience! Uncommon obedience always creates uncommon miracles! 2 Chronicles 20:20 Believe in the Lord your God, and you shall be established; believe His prophets, and you shall prosper.“ Your obedience is the only evidence that you truly know God. Your obedience guarantees that God will always respond favorably to your requests 1 John 3:22 And whatever we ask we receive from Him, because we keep His commandments ...

Sow uncommon seeds expectantly! God always gives you something to begin your future. Something that you have been given by God will create anything else that you have been promised by God. You will reap what you sow. Galatians 6:7 Do not be deceived. God is not mocked, whatsoever a man sows, that he shall reap. You can desire the harvest that you want and plant a specific seed towards the harvest according to God’s will.

Sow uncommon seeds expectantly! Moses could not talk well. But God turned his focus away from his weakness and told him to acknowledge the rod in hid hand. His rod was his seed. There is something in your life that is your seed. Something that you already possess is your key to your future. It may be knowledge, money, skills, ideas, insights and concepts. When you let go of what is in your hand, God will let go of what is in His hand. When the widow released her meal, God converted a single meal into an unending source of meals.

Sow uncommon seeds expectantly! When you get involved with God’s dream, He will also get involved with your dream. That is the power of sowing. When you invest in the work of God, you create a covenant with God. The widow invested in the work of God and she never lacked in the famine. Your seed is the door out of trouble. Your seed is the vehicle into your future. It was for the widow. It will be for you!
