“Then the Lord said to Moses, now shall you see what I will do to pharaoh: for with a strong hand shall he let them go, and with a strong hand shall he drive them out of his land. and God spoke to Moses, and said to him, I am the lord: and I appeared to Abraham, to Isaac, and to Jacob, by the name of God almighty, but by my name Jehovah was i not known to them.”EX.6:1-3
- JEHOVAH GMOLAH MEANS THE LORD WHO REWARDS ME
- GOD WANTS THIS CHURCH TO UNDERSTAND THAT THIS IS OUR REWARD SEASON
- GOD ALWAYS WANTS US TO BE AWARE OF WHAT HE IS DOING FOR US AND WITH US AT EACH POINT IN TIME
- 1 CHRON 12:32 “And of the children of Issachar, which were men that had understanding of the times, to know what Israel ought to do; the heads of them were two hundred; and all their brothers were at their commandment.”
- THE CHILDREN OF ISSACHAR PROSPERED MORE THAN THEIR BRETHREN BECAUSE THEY UNDERSTOOD WHAT GOD WAS DOING
- THEY ALSO UNDERSTOOD HIS TIMING FOR DOING WHATEVER HE WAS DOING FOR THEM
- WE HAVE TO KNOW OUR SEASONS,WE HAVE TO KNOW OUR TIMES AND OUR TIMING
- WE JUST HAVE TO BE PROPHETIC AND BE ON THE SAME PAGE WITH OUR FATHER
- 11:5-6 “ By faith Enoch was translated that he should not see death; and was not found, because God had translated him: for before his translation he had this testimony, that he pleased God.But without faith it is impossible to please him: for he that comes to God must believe that he is, and that he is a rewarder of them that diligently seek him. “
- WE CAN ONLY RELATE WITH GOD BY ABSOLUTE FAITH.
- NOW HE WANTS US TO BELIEVE HIM FOR OUR REWARD
- HE BEGAN TO SPEAK ABOUT REWARDING US IN A MIRACULOUS WAY RROM THE 6TH DAY OF THE CONVENTION FAST
- HE SAID MANY OF US ARE JUST GIVING TO HIM AND WONDERING WHY THERE HAS BEEN SO MUCH SOWING AND GIVING FROM JANUARY TILL NOW
- IT WAS FIRST TITHES AND OFFERINGS, THEN 1ST FRUIT,THEN CONVENTION OFFERINGS AND PLEDGES AND GIVING TO THE POOR
- HE SAYS TO TELL YOU THAT YOUR HARVEST WILL OVERTAKE YOUR SOWING.
- BEORE YOU FINISH SOWING YOU ARE REAPING ALREADY
- GOD SAYS THAT WE SHALL GO FROM HARVEST TO HARVEST TO HARVEST TO HARVEST IN JESUS NAME
- 26:4-6 “Then I will give you rain in due season, and the land shall yield her increase, and the trees of the field shall yield their fruit. And your threshing shall reach to the vintage, and the vintage shall reach to the sowing time: and you shall eat your bread to the full, and dwell in your land safely. And I will give peace in the land, and you shall lie down, and none shall make you afraid: and I will rid evil beasts out of the land, neither shall the sword go through your land.”
- AMOS 9:13 Behold, the days come, said the LORD, that the plowman shall overtake the reaper,…………
- JOHN 4:35 OUR LORD JESUS SAYS :” Say not you, There are yet four months, and then comes harvest? behold, I say to you, Lift up your eyes, and look on the fields; for they are white already to harvest.”
- ACOORDING TO JESUS , THERE ARE USUALLY FOUR MONTHS BETWEEN SEED TIME AND HARVEST TIME
- BUT NOW HEAR THIS WORD OF PROPHECY VERY CLEARLY OUR HARVEST WILL NOT WAIT THAT LONG
- WHILE THE SEASON IS CHANGING TO SEED TIME WE ARE STILL HARVESTING
- SO WE SHALL ALWAYS HAVE A PROPEROUS CYCLE OF SOWING AND REAPING
- SO LET US NOT BE TIRED OF SOWI NG ABUNDANTLY FOR OUR HARVEST IS NOW
2 COR 9:8-10 “And God is able to make all grace abound toward you; that you, always having all sufficiency in all things, may abound to every good work: (As it is written, He has dispersed abroad; he has given to the poor: his righteousness remains for ever. Now he that ministers seed to the sower both minister bread for your food, and multiply your seed sown, and increase the fruits of your righteousness;)”
- THERE IS NO NEED TO BE WEARY OR COMPLAIN BECAUSE THE SEED COMES FROM GOD
- THE SUFFICIENCY OR ABUNDANT SEED COMES FROM GOD
- THE GRACE TO SOW THE SEED COMES FROM GOD AND HE HAS GIVE YOU THE GRACE TO BE CHEERFUL GIVERS
- SO WHY ARE YOU TRYING TO BE WEARY OR COMPLAIN?
- HE IS NOW PROMISING TO HASTEN YOUR HARVEST AND INCREASE THE FRUITS OF YOUR RIGHTEOUSNESS
- ANOTHER REASON WHY WE SHOULD NOT COMPLAIN IS THAT HE GIVES US THE CHOICE TO GIVE OR NOT TO GIVE.
- WE MUST JUST BE SPIRITUALLY SMART ENOUGH TO UNDERSTAND THAT WE ONLY REAP WHAT WE SOW
- OUR HARVEST SHALL BE ACCORDING TO WHAT WE SOW,BUT WHATEVER WE SOW MUST BE GIVEN CHEERFULLY SO WE WON ‘T OFFEND GOD AND LOSE OUR REWARD
- 2 COR 9:6-7But this I say, He which sows sparingly shall reap also sparingly; and he which sows bountifully shall reap also bountifully.Every man according as he purposes in his heart, so let him give; not grudgingly, or of necessity: for God loves a cheerful giver
- WHY IS GOD SO PLEASED WITH US THAT HE IS TEACHING AND GUIDING AND ENCOURAGING US?
- THE ANSWER IS IN THE NEXT FEW VERSES : 2 COR 9:11-15
“Being enriched in every thing to all bountifulness, which causes through us thanksgiving to God. For the administration of this service not only supplies the want of the saints, but is abundant also by many thanksgivings to God; Whiles by the experiment of this ministration they glorify God for your professed subjection to the gospel of Christ, and for your liberal distribution to them, and to all men; And by their prayer for you, which long after you for the exceeding grace of God in you. Thanks be to God for his unspeakable gift.”

- AM SURE ALL THE PASTORS DO THE SAME
- THIS IS WHY GOD IS ACCELERATING OUR HARVEST HALLELUYA!
- NOW GOD ALSO DOES NOT WANT US TO LOSE OUR REWARD THIS IS WHY HE IS CAUTIONING US ABOUT WHAT SHOULD BE OUR ATTITUDE TOWARD OUR PASTORS AND TEACHERS?
- MATT 10: 40-42 “He that receives you receives me, and he that receives me receives him that sent me.He that receives a prophet in the name of a prophet shall receive a prophet’s reward; and he that receives a righteous man in the name of a righteous man shall receive a righteous man’s reward. And whoever shall give to drink to one of these little ones a cup of cold water only in the name of a disciple, truly I say to you, he shall in no wise lose his reward.’’
- Galatians 6:9-10; “And let us not be weary in well doing: for in due season we shall reap, if we faint not.As we have therefore opportunity, let us do good to all men, especially to them who are of the household of faith.”

- LET US READ R 2 Kings 4:18-37.THIS IS THE STORY OF A WHO GOT REWARDED BY GOD FOR SUPPORTING A MAN OF GOD
- GOD REWARDED HER AND MADE SURE SHE DID NOT LOSE HER REWARD
- THE SHUNAMMITE WOMAN AND HER HUSBAND GLADLY TOOK CARE OF ELISHA’S NEEDS
- THOUGH LIVING IN THE MIDST OF WICKED, UNFAITHFUL ISRAEL, THIS WOMAN AND HER HUSBAND CHOSE TO REMAIN FAITHFUL TO GOD.
- GOD HONORED THEIR FAITH BY GIVING THEM OPPORTUNITY TO RESPOND TO HIS WORD THROUGH HELPING ELISHA WHENEVER HE CAME TO THEIR TOWN.
- WE LIVE IN A CULTURE THAT FINDS CHRISTIANITY, AS WELL AS GOD’S STANDARDS OF MORAL LAW, REPULSIVE AND OFFENSIVE
- IN OUR DAYS PEOPLE CHOOSE THEIR OWN SELF-SATISFACTION AS A SUBSTITUTE FOR THE TRUE WORSHIP OF THE TRUE GOD.
- THIS IS SO BECAUSE WE ARE SURROUNDED BY IDOLATRY,FAKE AND CORRUPT TEACHINGS.
- PEOPLE CALL IT THE MODERN GOSPEL,BUT GOD’S WORD IS ETERNAL IT CAN NOT BE CHANGED
- THIS WOMAN AND HER HUSBAND GOT A BEAUTIFUL REWARD EVEN THOUGH SHE NEVER SPOKE OF HER NEEDS TO ELIJAH

- WE DON’T KNOW HER REASONS FOR NOT TELLING HER HUSBAND OR ELISHA’S SERVANT GEHAZI ABOUT THE SON’S DEATH
- SH EWAS SEEKING GOD ALONE. ELISHA REPRESENTED GOD TO HER AT THIS TIME.
- WHILE THERE ARE TIMES WHEN FAMILY AND FRIENDS CAN HELP US, GOD WANTS US TO BRING OUR DEEPEST NEEDS TO HIM ALONE. HEBREWS 4:14-16 AND 10:19-23.
- WHAT CONFIDENCE DO WE HAVE IN GOD IN TIMES OF DEEP CRISIS?
- OUR SACRIFICES INCREASE OUR CONFIDENCE IN GOD IN OUR TIMES OF DEEP CRISIS
- ELISHA DEMONSTRATED HIS RESPECT FOR THIS WOMAN BY PERSONALLY ATTENDING TO HER
- ELISHA GOT HIS ABILITY TO RAISE THE BOY FROM THE DEAD FROM GOD BY REMINDING GOD OF HER SACRIFICE
- 7 YEARS LATER WE READ ABOUT THIS WOMAN AGAIN IN 2 KINGS 8:1-6.
“ Then spoke Elisha to the woman, whose son he had restored to life, saying, Arise, and go you and your household, and sojourn wherever you can sojourn: for the LORD has called for a famine; and it shall also come on the land seven years. And the woman arose, and did after the saying of the man of God: and she went with her household, and sojourned in the land of the Philistines seven years. And it came to pass at the seven years’ end, that the woman returned out of the land of the Philistines: and she went forth to cry to the king for her house and for her land. And the king talked with Gehazi the servant of the man of God, saying, Tell me, I pray you, all the great things that Elisha has done. And it came to pass, as he was telling the king how he had restored a dead body to life, that, behold, the woman, whose son he had restored to life, cried to the king for her house and for her land. And Gehazi said, My lord, O king, this is the woman, and this is her son, whom Elisha restored to life. And when the king asked the woman, she told him. So the king appointed to her a certain officer, saying, Restore all that was hers, and all the fruits of the field since the day that she left the land, even until now”
- GOD SHOWED HIS FAITHFULNESS TO THE SHUNAMMITE WOMAN AND HER FAMILY BY GIVING HER ADVANCED PROPHECY ABOUT THE FAMINE THAT WAS ABOUT TO HIT THE LAND
- SHE BELIEVED THE PROPHET AND WENT TO LIVE AMONG THE PHILISTINES
- NOW, SHE FACED A NEW CHALLENGE WHEN SHE RETURNED HOME SEVEN YEARS LATER

- GOD IS FAITHFUL.GOD NEVER ALLOWED HER TO LOSE HER REWARD
- HE TOOK CARE OF HER PAST, HER PRESENT AND HER FUTURE
- GOD SHOWED HIS FAITHFULNESS TO THIS WOMAN IN HER GOOD AND BAD TIMES ?
- WE MUST SINCERELY WALK WITH GOD AND GO FROM FEAR TO FAITH
- GOD LOVED THIS WOMAN AND HER FAMILY. HE KNEW WHAT WAS GOING ON IN THEIR LIVES.
- HE WAS ABLE TO DO SOMETHING ABOUT IT.
- GOD DID NOT MAKE THE WOMAN’S HUSBAND YOUNG AGAIN NOR DID HE PREVENT HER FROM HAVING TO ENDURE THE STIGMA OF BARRENNESS FOR A TIME.
- HE DIDN’T PREVENT THE FAMINE FROM AFFECTING THEIR FAMILY.
- DURING HER WALK OF FAITH WITH THIS LOVING AND FAITHFUL GOD , HE SAID NO TO SOME THINGS FOR HER.
- YET, SHE CHOSE TO TRUST HIM RATHER THAN SUBMIT TO FEAR AND REBELLION AGAINST GOD AND HIS SERVANT.
- GOD REWARDED HER FAITH WITH AN OUTPOURING OF HIS BLESSING ON HER FAMILY.

- GOD LOVES ME.
- GOD KNOWS WHAT IS GOING ON IN MY LIFE.
