Your Need and Your Seed
Your Need and Your Seed
Pastor Benny Hinn
Exploding gas
prices, double-digit inflation, empty store shelves, and shortages are
everywhere!
When these things
scream across the headlines of our news sources, the tendency is to react in
panic and fear, but I have the most incredible news for you. These are the
greatest moments of opportunity we have ever known.
For
believers, we know that these things are the beginning of the last days and a
hastening of The Lord’s Return. It’s also an explosive opportunity for the
spreading of the Gospel, as people are desperate for answers and open to truth
as never before.
It’s also an incredible opportunity for your
finances.
You may be wondering
how this can be! At a time when every bill we have is going up each month, how
can this be an opportunity for a financial harvest?
Jesus said in Luke 6:38 that if you give
you will receive. Your gift will return to you in full—“pressed down, shaken
together” to make room for more, running over, and poured into your lap.
The enemy of our
souls wants to keep this truth far from our minds and hearts. In fact, he
absolutely does not want us to sow and simply forget about it. But God’s Word
says that “while the earth remains, seedtime and harvest...shall not cease”
(Genesis 8:22).
Once we grab hold of
this truth, we begin to see setbacks, financial instability in the world, and
prices on the rise as opportunity. The Word clearly says that circumstances have nothing to do with seedtime
and harvest.
When sowing makes the least sense from a human perspective, it is
the hardest thing to do. But it is also the most profitable. In Genesis 26 we
see Isaac facing unprecedented famine. Everywhere he looked he saw devastation,
death, and suffering. In that time of shocking suffering and hunger, Isaac
planted seed. Seems crazy, right? But he saw opportunity through the eyes of
God. Scripture says:
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; for he had possessions of flocks and possessions of herds and a
great number of servants. So the Philistines envied him. (Genesis 26:12-14)
This is what happens when we trust God with our finances. We must
face financial setbacks and rising costs as opportunities to sow with even
greater faith than before.
The greater the need, the bigger the seed.
Seek ye The LORD
Seek ye The LORD while He may be found, call ye upon Him while He
is near:
Let the wicked forsake his way, and the unrighteous man his
thoughts: and let him return unto the LORD, and He will have mercy upon him;
and to our God, for He will abundantly pardon.
Isaiah 55:6-7 KJV
My Beloved Son with Whom I am well pleased
He
was still speaking when, behold, a bright cloud overshadowed them, and a Voice
from the cloud said, “This is My Beloved Son, with Whom I am well pleased;
listen to Him.”
Matthew
17:5
