Someone I met today…

Pastor Matthew Ashimolowo, author of 72 books including, “24 Hour Miracle” and “Be the Best” cuts to chase when it comes to where our nation is today.  He told me that we should not dispair if we have lost in this economy. He preached a bit… that if you plant the seeds of a purposeful man or woman during this winter season of our history… then, the warmer times will yield an abundant harvest of prosperity in your life.

 Kinda hard to imagine for some who would seem to have lost it all– home, job, successful marriage… peace.

Pastor Matthew told me our nation is in a season of putting the Seed into the ground and the ground must be cut up, plowed, hurt in order for that Seed to catch hold. 

HERE’S WHERE I’VE TAKEN HIS METAPHOR…  based on the times when darkness visited my life:   

Once the Seed is planted, the rain must come in droves…  in order to nurish the Seed.  And, then we must wait… wait… wait.   We must wait beyond our comfort zone.  We must wait with dignity, integrity and love in our hearts.  We must be the best we can be while we wait.  And, we must not ask why over and over… or how much longer it will be.

Wait.

And, then when the Lord is ready… the sun will move across the sky… our Seed now peeking above ground soaking up the glow and new nutrients.

Wait.

Harvest, can you hear us?  We await you.
