Harvest - #Motivational Monday

  We are nearly FIVE month's in to 2018, where did the time fly to? It's approaching to spring/ summer and the flowers have started to blossom, the sun has even made an appearance after being in hibernation for so long and so have I lol ! 

I know that most of us have been putting in work for our respective "grinds" and have been using the winter seasons to stay low and build. This has successfully led us to see some practical results, we have started to gain a few small victories. The seeds that we were sewing in private consistently has led to a harvest and we are reaping the benefits of that previous period. For some of us this has been in the form of new business ideas, a promotion in your job or getting a first in your coursework. 

On the other hand, there is another side to the story where a handful of us who just like the first group of people have been grafting, working extremely hard and have seen NOTHING. There is no evidence of fruit, no blessing no benefit that you have received for any of your efforts. Instead you feel burned out, you are tired and drained, and on the verge of giving up because you are doubting your ability that God has placed in you due to the physical and mental stumbling blocks you may have received. 

Recently I have purchased a potted plant and was super excited about it at first. I was dedicated to see it grow and flourish so I watered it every single day and sometimes even twice a day. I even moved it around to different areas of my room where I thought it would have the best chance of receiving the optimum sunlight.  For weeks i practiced this routine and there was absolutely no growth, but I continued. I consistently carried on the routine I just kept doing the same thing despite still not seeing any growth until a few days ago I saw a dozen new leaves sprouting out with new life !!!!!

Some of you need to get back to what you were doing previously doing it diligently with your whole heart and with a positive attitude. It would have been very easy for me to let the plant die by neglecting it and the same could happen to you depending on how you decide to nurture your own plants in your life. Sewing seeds of procrastination an laziness will kill your plant and ultimately kill your dreams. 

"Let us not get tired of doing what is good. At the right time we will reap a harvest of blessing IF we don't give up" Galatians 6:9 

What ever seeds you plant you always sew, if you plant an apple seed you will get an apple tree. A farmer will ALWAYS produce crops according to how much he has planted. The principle of seed time and harvest is a universal principle that applies EVERYWHERE and it works. So stay encouraged in the truth that you will recieve a harvest according to what type of seeds you are sewing. It is extremely easy to get frustrated when you can't see the benefits but this is why I would encourage you to continue to persevere, and cultivate an attitude which stands strong in the principle and promise that God has given you. 

Declare to yourself that even in the midst of your troubles when things may not be going your way, you will endure to see your fruit blossom because in the end we all reap what we sow. 

Lots of Love
