Sow the seed
A man once told his ten-year-old child that the
earth works for those who work for her. The man continued; you cannot expect
mangoes when you have not planted a mango seed in a fertile soil. The earth
produces what we have sowed.
In the same way, couples
of the same gender cannot produce natural children. Having children takes a
husband (man) and his wife (woman). When the man sows the seed (semen) in the
woman, God turns the seed into a child in the woman’s womb.
There is no way two males
(couples) can produce children. In the same way, two women cannot produce
children. There is no way a human being and an animal can produce a child. Gays
and lesbians may adopt a child, transplant human semen in an incubator, or use
an illegal way to produce children.
However, that is not
God’s wisdom. Even in the animal kingdom, two male dogs cannot mate—talk of
even producing offspring. In the same way, two female dogs cannot mate. Two
female cats cannot produce little cats (offspring).
It takes the seed of the
male dog and the female dog to produce little dogs. Today, some people feel it
is their “right” to determine their gender. Some men take drugs and operate in
hospitals to become “women.”
Some women, too, take
drugs and operate in hospitals to become “men.” They may change some parts of
their bodies. However, they cannot produce children. For instance, a man who has
changed his identity into a “woman” cannot give birth because he (I don’t know
whether to use he/she) does not have the womb to produce children.
So, what is my point? You
may violate God’s creation. However, it will not remain the same. It is the
seed you sow that determines the fruit. Some people complain about food, money,
shelter, and lack of jobs; meanwhile, these people have not sown any seed.
As stated at the
beginning of the article, do not expect mangoes until you plant the seed of a
mango in fertile soil. God has provided whatever we need. We must sow the seed.
For instance, you will not know the importance of a tree.
You can complain that you
don’t have a house, chair, table, and bed. However, the house, chair, table,
and bed are in the tree. You must turn the tree into a house, chair, table, and
bed. Some people have tomatoes, plantain, cassava, oil, potatoes, onions, and
raw farm materials, yet they complain of hunger.
People complain of hunger
because they do not use their minds. You must turn the tomatoes, oil, potatoes,
onions, cassava, and raw farm materials into consumable food. God will not turn
the farm materials into consumable food.
It is up to you to use
your mind. You remain hungry until you cook the cassava, plantain, and potatoes and use
the oil, tomatoes, and onions to make stew. You must do something to get
something. That something is your seed.
I used my time, energy,
and resources to write this article. I could have used that time, energy, and
resources for something else. However, I decided to use the time, energy, and
resources to write. That’s my seed. My seed will generate fruits. Stop
complaining and start sowing seeds. The Holy Bible states that God will bless
the works of our hands.
For the LORD thy God hath blessed thee in all the works of thy hand: he
knoweth thy walking through this great wilderness: these forty years the LORD
thy God hath been with thee; thou hast lacked nothing.
Deuteronomy 2:7 KJV
God does not bless empty
hands. What are you doing with your hands? Some people complain that God is not
blessing them. These people have nothing to present to God. How do you expect
God to bless an empty hand?
God sends rain to the
earth during a specific season. The rain will not benefit you until you plant
something in the fertile soil. Some people claim that the grace of God will
bring success. However, God expects us to plant something.
Grace brings the rain.
However, the rain (grace) will not benefit you if you have no seed in the
fertile soil. Stop complaining and start complying! What are you doing with
your hands? How do you expect God to bless an empty hand?
How do you expect God to increase
you when you have nothing to present? The Holy Bible states that God blesses
the works of our hands. Where are your works? Satan knew this secret. When
Satan encountered God, he declared that Job received blessings from his works.
Hast not thou made an hedge about him, and about his house, and about
all that he hath on every side? thou hast blessed the work of his hands, and
his substance is increased in the land.
Job 1:10 KJV
Satan declared that God
had blessed the works (seeds) of Job. Furthermore, God increased the substance
(seeds) of Job. One thing you must know about God is that He increases our
works. Stop complaining that God has forsaken you.
God has not forgotten
you. His blessings work day and night. One reason you are not experiencing the
blessings of God is that you have no works. Assuming a manager wants to promote
his employees who have a degree from a recognized institution.
If you don’t have a
degree from a recognized institution, there is no way you can receive a
promotion from the manager. That is how God works. Where is your degree? I mean,
where are your works?
What do you want God to
bless? How do you expect God to bless an empty hand? Do something with your
life. You can ask God to bless the work when you start doing something with
your hands.
However, don’t complain
that God has ignored you if you are doing nothing. You are the problem. You are not producing anything. You
don’t have any product. You have no service. How do you expect God to bless you
when you don’t provide a service or produce a product?
How do you expect your
family and friends to help you if you are not doing anything? At least, do
something. Don’t expect God to bless you if you have nothing to do. Where are
your plans? Where is your desire?
What is your vision? What
positive actions are you exhibiting to provoke assistance? What seeds are
sowing? Sow something. God will pour his rain on the seed! Stop complaining and
start complying!
The power to make wealth
…thou shalt remember the LORD thy God: for it is
he that giveth thee power to get wealth, that he may establish his covenant
which he sware unto thy fathers, as it is this day.
Deuteronomy 8:18 KJV
We don’t become wealthy
by chance. We become prosperous by our desires, actions, and mindset. The Holy
Bible states that God has given us the power to get wealth. This means
prosperity is a choice.
In the same way, poverty
is a choice. God has given us the ability, resources, energy, plans, ideas,
gifts, skills, and knowledge to become wealthy. Stop complaining and start
complying! Why are you complaining if God has given you the power to become rich?
You are failing because you are not using the power God has given you. You have the emotional, spiritual, social, psychological, technological, and physical power to make wealth. Stop complaining and start complying!
- What are you doing with your emotional strength?
- What are you doing with your intellectual strength?
- What are you doing with your social strength?
- What are you doing with your spiritual strength?
- What are you doing with your psychological strength?
- What are you doing with your physical strength?
- What are you doing with your technological strength?
Stop complaining and
start complying because God has given you the power to make wealth!
The seed of laziness
Love not sleep, lest thou come to poverty; open thine eyes, and
thou shalt be satisfied with bread.
Proverbs 20:13 KJV
As humans, we must rest when
tired. We must rest to recover our strength. However, too much of everything is
bad. Sleeping too much leads to poverty. The Holy Bible states that people who
love sleep will suffer poverty.
Laziness is one of the
gateways to poverty. I encourage you to download and read my book, The Uncommon Wisdom Keys,
for more profound revelation. The books are free on my blog. Stop complaining
and start complying. You are not making it because of your laziness. You are
idle.
For the drunkard and the glutton shall come to poverty: and drowsiness
shall clothe a man with rags.
Proverbs 23:21 KJV
I hope you got the key. Some people argue that Christ Jesus turned water into wine, so they drink wine. I am
sharing this secret with you. The alcohol content in the wine Christ Jesus
produced was zero percent.
There was no way Christ
Jesus’s wine could make the people act like drunkards and gluttons. Christ
Jesus’ wine was a soft drink! This is one reason the king at the party enjoyed
the wine (I believe it was Coca-Cola!).
The wine (Coca-Cola) was
so sweet that the king recommended Christ Jesus’ wine. However, the devil’s
wine makes people drunkards and gluttons. As stated in the Holy Bible, poverty
comes to drunkards and gluttons.
Observe drunkards and
gluttons. They live miserably! I have encountered a few drunkards. Analyzing
them, they look depressed and unclean! Drunkards most often have mental
challenges.
They misuse their money
because of their unstable mindset. Drunkards live aimlessly! On the other hand,
gluttons spend their money on food. We cannot deny this truth. We eat and
drink. However, overeating can hurt the body.
It doesn’t matter how
rich the food is. Overeating can affect our health. The body can contain a certain
amount of food, drinks, and water. Overeating can make the body overworked. Some
people have become obsessed because of overeating.
Most often, they have big
stomachs (pop bellies). Sometimes, you might think some men are pregnant.
However, they are not pregnant! It is obesity! Some even use their pop bellies
to get fans.
Some people, too, have
bulimia because of overeating. I used to overeat to the extent that I found it
difficult to breathe. One thing I found is that overeating can make us
uncomfortable, especially when we are about to sleep.
As stated, overeating can
affect our health. The money you could have used to do important things will be
channeled to medical drugs. You will be using your money to buy expensive drugs
to cure yourself.
Another thing about
overeating is that it makes us lazy. Overeating can make you think and behave
strangely! I have realized that when I overeat, foolish thoughts come into my
mind. Things that do not look funny become funny when I overeat.
Sometimes, I get bad
dreams when I overeat. As stated, we have to eat and drink. However, Christ
Jesus stated that we should not live by bread alone. Spending too much on food
can make you poor.
After all, the food will
turn into feces within minutes! Do not get drunk because it leads to poverty
(see Proverbs 23:21). When you stop drinking alcoholic beverages and avoid too
much food, the complaints will stop.
You will be focused when you
stop drinking alcohol. You will be visionary when you manage your meals. You
will become significant when you hate laziness and idleness. Stop complaining
and start complying. Meditate on this Holy Scripture for more profound
revelation.
Yet a little sleep, a little slumber, a little folding of the hands to
sleep:
So shall thy poverty come as one that travelleth; and thy want
as an armed man.
Proverbs 24:33-34 KJV
The seed of disobedience
Poverty and shame shall be to him that refuseth instruction: but
he that regardeth reproof shall be honoured.
Proverbs 13:18 KJV
Every normal vessel
desires freedom. We do not want others to dictate to us because of our free will.
However, you must understand that you cannot always be right. Like a child
playing with a sharp knife.
The interference of the
parents and loved ones can make the child angry because the child will think
the parents and loved ones don’t want him to play with the knife. However, the
parents and loved ones know what the child does not know.
The parent knows the
sharp knife can damage the child. The rebuke of the parent can make the child
rebel. That is how some people act. They act like children. They think that
they are always right.
They do not want others
to advise and instruct them. Well, if you are the type that hates instruction
and rebuke, the Holy Bible states that poverty and shame will befriend you (see
Proverbs 13:18).
Some “women” complain
that no one wants to propose to them or marry them. However, if you check their
history, you will realize that such women have bad characters that drive men
away. What habit are you portraying?
Do you humble yourself
when wise and knowledgeable people advise you? Do you resent instructions?
Never think you are above rebuke, instructions, and correction. Stop
complaining that things are not working for you.
Things are not working for you because you hate instructions. You are not disciplined. You think your money, educational certificates, and temporal assets make you untouchable.
Haven’t you seen and heard wealthy people becoming broke within seconds? Haven’t
you seen and heard healthy people die within seconds? If only these people
could heed the wise people's instructions, they would not have died or become poor.
There is a way which seemeth right unto a man, but
the end thereof are the ways of death.
Proverbs 14:12 KJV
Do not be wise in your
own eyes. Humble yourself and learn from others. In my previous article, I emphasized about mentorship. Kindly read that
article for a more profound revelation.
You are failing because
you think no one can advise you. You think you are the master of yourself. You
are too proud to be counselled and instructed. As far as you live in this corrupt
flesh and dark world, you cannot be right all the time. You need the counsel of
others.
However, compare the
counsels and instructions you receive from others with the Holy Bible. If the
counsels agree with the Holy Bible, follow it. If the instructions challenge
the Holy Bible, reject it. You will stop complaining if you humble yourself and
accept the instructions and rebukes of wise people.
The seed of an erroneous mindset
Be not deceived: evil communications corrupt good manners.
1 Corinthians 15:33 KJV
One thing about our mind
is that it controls almost every organ of our body. The information you receive
can upgrade or downgrade you. Some people fail because of corrupt philosophies
(ideologies and cultures) they receive in their homes, schools, friends, church,
and media.
Some people believe that
men are liars, so they treat men like trash. Some people, too, believe that
women are cheaters, so they treat them like trash. Some people’s experiences have
created a toxic philosophy in their souls.
Because of the past
bitter experiences and erroneous ideologies received from parents, friends, media,
and the internet, they cannot rise. Until you change your faulty mindset, you
will remain in the dark position.
Stop complaining and
start complying! Stop blaming others for your failure. Your corrupt mindset and
bitter experience are the cause of your failure. Who are your friends? What
information are you receiving at home, school, church, in the media,
environment, internet, and social gatherings?
You will keep crawling
until you unlearn the bad ideologies and align with the knowledge engrafted in
the Holy Bible (meditate on John 8:32). The fact that many people have accepted
something does not mean it is right.
For instance, the Holy
Bible frowns on lesbianism, gay, bestiality, transgender, and queer (see Romans 1:18-32, Genesis 13:13;18:20-32).
Compare every philosophy with the Holy Bible. If the philosophy agrees with the
Holy Bible, follow it. However, if it challenges the Holy Bible, reject it.
It doesn’t matter who is
sharing that philosophy. As far as it challenges the Holy Bible, reject it. Like
a pig, it doesn’t matter what country it is in. You can dress the pig and spray
the best perfume on the pig.
It would jump into a
dirty environment if it founds one! One reason the pig delights in a filthy environment is its
erroneous mindset. What erroneous mindset have you carried from your family,
friends, school, strange books, videos, media, and the internet?
Stop complaining that
things are not working. It's your erroneous mindset! The corrupt philosophy is empowering
you to make a wrong decision. Your attitude is making you lose. Change your
mindset with the Word of God (the Holy Bible).
Like the pig, it delights
in filthy places because that is its mindset. Are you acting like a pig?
Remember, it doesn’t matter what perfume and dress you put on the pig. Its
faulty mindset will force it to bathe in filthy places!
Are you holding onto the bitter experience? Disconnect
from the corrupt people, media, and environment. You will advance when you
change your mindset and remove the bitter experience. Stop complaining and
start complying!
The seed of imbalance
Time is a precious asset.
I do not joke with time because I cannot regain it. Once lost, it is
lost forever! What do you spend your time on? Is it television, social media,
games, debates, football, long-hour seasonal movies, parties, funerals, and
unnecessary social gatherings?
Get me right. I am not
stating that you shouldn’t have fun. I am stating that do not spend too much time
on things that will not bring you profit. As humans, we sometimes become tired,
depressed, and stressed.
In this season, we must
have fun (rest). Some people watch movies, play games, and do many things to
release stress. However, overdoing these things can lead to poverty (meditate
on Proverbs 6:10-11;20:13).
Spending too much time on
television watching unnecessary programs will limit you. Thousands of
television stations fight for our attention. If you are not wise, you will
spend the whole day on the television watching unprofitable programs.
Spending too much time on
seasonal movies can hinder your progress. Spending too much time on your phone
can affect you. Today, people spend hours on social media doing unnecessary
things!
Some people attend every social
gathering. They join social events when they hear of any announcement in town. Some,
too, debate about movie stars, football celebrities, and all kinds of
celebrities!
I know some guys who
spend hours debating about football clubs and players. They debate as if they are
the ones paying the football clubs and players. Some people move from house to
gossiping.
As stated, some people attend
every social event. As soon as they hear of an event, they invite themselves.
You don’t have to send them invitation cards. They will ensure they invite
themselves and, if possible, invite others.
How can you become
resourceful with this lifestyle? Time is a precious asset. Check your
schedules. How do you spend your time? Are you spending hours on games, movies,
and social media?
Are you doing
unprofitable things with your electronic device? Stop complaining and start
complying! Once in a while, you can have fun. However, do not overuse time
because time is money.
Time is life. Time is power. Time is an intangible resource. I do not joke with time. I know when to rest, work, and have fun. Position yourself well. Stop blaming the devil.
Stop blaming others for your failure. Utilize time for profitable activities. God has given everyone twenty-four hours a day. Even animals know how to use time. It is up to you to use the time profitably.
- Do you know that goats, sheep, cows, elephants, and deer sleep for a maximum of four hours per night?
- Do you know that dogs and cats sleep for a maximum of twelve hours daily?
The animals that sleep
the most are koalas, pythons, and tigers. They can sleep for over eighteen hours daily!
Among the animals, ants have sleeping habits similar to those of humans. Ant
can rest for five to seven hours a day.
On average, we can rest for
at least three hours per day. Some recommend that we sleep (rest) for a maximum
of seven hours. Don’t sleep like a cat, dog, or python. Hard work will not kill
you. Work hard and work smart.
The body and mind will
adjust. However, rest when tired! The more you use the time profitably, the
more you will stop complaining. This is the fourth introduction. In the next
article, I will dive deeper. Kindly read
