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.
