GOD’ S DEMAND FOR TRUTH (2)
GIVE THE SEED TIME


TOPE: Hellooo my Pastor friend Lola, How are you? Tnx so much for the other day clarification of what God demands of me.

LOLA: Hello Tope, how are you and your family? it’s really a great pleasure to be in the position to share part of my experience in this journey of faith it is not just you only that God demands the truth from all of us. How have you been faring, what is your experience so far?

TOPE: Yes Lola it has actually been a journey since we talked last time. What I noticed about myself is that, have become more open in prayer, talking to God has really helped my openness, I also do not go in prayer without having the word to pray with.

LOLA: Beautiful, this is really a good step in the right direction.

TOPE: But Lola I still have this question of what is the time frame between the time I prayed and when I will see the manifestation?

LOLA: As I said before, praying is talking to God about the matter until you see a change in the situation, there are diverse way in which you do that, pacing your floor with the word in your mouth, ruminating it in your mind, speaking it and concentrating on it expecting a response, the word is powerful and whenever we engage in the talking of it, is declaring your faith and proclaiming what God said about you.

TOPE: I do that but there is a time I still feel anxious hoping that the outcome of the result is slow. Can you shed more light on what could be happening while waiting?

LOLA: The word of God is a seed and we know in literary farming understanding that if you hold on to your seed and do not plant it or if you drop it in the earth and do not allow it to die it remains alone and will not produce more. Jesus said in John 12:24 “very truly I tell you, unless a kernel of wheat falls to the ground and dies, it remains only a single seed. But if it dies, it produces many seeds “ A farmer who went to uproot the seed because he could not see the fruit will end up with nothing and the same goes with a Christian who stopped speaking the word because there is no yet manifestation, it surely kills the process and get frustrated. such people immediately fall apart and believe the word is not true.

TOPE; Lola I think I felt a victim of this after a while of praying, I started checking my calendar of period soon as it is close by, and whenever my menstruate surface I get dejected and unhappy, and it will take a long time before I get the spirit of praying again.

LOLA: I can feel you, Tope I pray God will reveal himself to you through his word and you might obtain rest and know that God is true to his word and his word is true. He does not play with our emotions by asking us to seek him, we will never seek him in vain. When a seed is dropped on the earth.some of the seed will bring forth 30folds, 60folds, 100folds. it goes through a process. Mark 4:26-29 if we follow the scenario in this book scattering of the seed to the ground is the labor of faith, the stage at which we deal with the contradiction and conflicts inside of our heart, This is when we chose to follow the scripture, believing totally on what it says, laying down our fears, when we received with meekness the engrafted word of God .we started to plant the word in our soul, we began to see the picture as we cast the seed of the word in our soul, we start to rejoice, speak positively about our expectations, we rejoice with joy unspeakable full of praises still speaking the word, Then thereafter in verse 27 the man that scattered seed goes to sleep, rest, goes out day and night but the seed starts to sprouts and grows and increases no one knows. While we go with unspeakable joy, continue in prayer, and praise our seed begins to sprout, the preparation of manifestation is at hand when we overcome unbelief. Hebrew 4:9-12 It is a great joy when we get to these level Tope, that stage you gave up was the stage you are about to enter into that rest, if you had continued in prayers, confessing the word because there was surely a rest for the children of God that do not lose faith because the word is alive full of power, very active that it will surely come to pass when all fears are cleared away.

TOPE: It was as if nothing was happening, I was always in anticipation whenever I see my mate that we got married at the same time carrying their babies, then and then my strength failed me

LOLA: Actually while speaking the word nothing will appear in the outside even when you do not feel it is working, God never stop working but the stronghold holding your thought will begin to free your soul, the word is taken root with that confession and leading to the crucifixion of the flesh. Then you get to the stage where the heart believes what the mouth is saying and there comes an agreement. Then here comes Mark 4;28 says all by itself the soil produces grain-first the stalk, then the head, then the full kernel in the head. This result takes stages so patience must take its full course, it shows no crops grow to its fullness at a go, it’s in stages but it will come to its fullness at the right time.

TOPE: Am so relieved, I just know that with this push that you have given me I will be able to pull through on this matter.

LOLA: After all these exercising of our faith through the sowing of seed, confessing the word, coming to rest within ourselves, casting out all fears and doubts, our heart coming to an agreement with our mouth, and starting to see the sprouting of the seed, because you are at rest it is easy for the Lord to begin his work, and as you start to see 40 folds that should not keep you away from praying, keep positioning yourself for more because you should be expecting the 60folds and the 100 folds. Prayer is the key
