When God Decides The Season, No Seed Is Wasted

• Psalm 65:9–13,

• Hosea 10:12,

• Mark 4:26–29

INTRODUCTION

Church, harvest is proof that God never forgets. You may forget where you sowed. People may forget what you sacrificed.

But God keeps perfect records of every seed. There is a set time when God says, “Enough waiting. Enough struggle. Let the harvest speak.”

Psalm 102:13 – “You will arise and have mercy on Zion, for the time to favor her, yes, the set time, has come.”

Illustration

THE BAMBOO TREE (VERY POWERFUL)

The Chinese bamboo tree is watered daily for five years and nothing is seen above the ground.

No growth. No sign. No evidence. But in the fifth year, it grows 90 feet in just six weeks.

Question: Did it grow only in six weeks?

Answer: No. It was growing underground for five years.

What looks like delay is actually development.

What people call silence, God calls preparation.

1: HARVEST IS A DIVINE LAW, NOT A HUMAN OPINION

Mark 4:28 – “The earth yields crops by itself: first the blade, then the head, then the full grain.”

Harvest works whether you feel spiritual or not.

Just like gravity, sowing and reaping cannot be cancelled. Right seeds produce right harvest Wrong seeds produce painful harvest

Warning:

Do not curse a harvest you planted yourself.

2: GOD DECIDES THE TIMING, NOT THE FARMER

Ecclesiastes 3:1–2 – “To everything there is a season.”

You cannot rush God’s seasons.

1. Early harvest destroys the fruit.

2. Late harvest loses the fruit.

3. God’s timing is always perfect, never late.

Illustration:

Unripe mango looks big but tastes bitter.

Ripe mango may look smaller but tastes sweet.

3: BEFORE HARVEST, GOD SENDS RAIN

Joel 2:23 – “He will cause the former rain and the latter rain.”

Rain represents:

• Teaching

• Correction

• Revival

• Prayer pressure

Rain is uncomfortable, muddy, and messy.

But without rain, there is no harvest.

If your life feels shaken, soaked, and stretched, harvest is near.

4: EVERY SEED CARRIES THE POWER OF MULTIPLICATION

Genesis 1:11 – “Each seed produces according to its kind.”

• One seed never comes back alone.

• One prayer can save a family

• One act of obedience can bless generations

• One gospel message can change a nation

Illustration:

David sowed one stone.

God gave him victory over Goliath and the throne of Israel.

5: SATAN FIGHTS HARVEST MORE THAN SEEDTIME

Matthew 13:25 – “While men slept, the enemy came and sowed tares.”

Why does the enemy attack near harvest? Because harvest proves God is faithful.

Confusion increases

Weariness increases

Temptation increases

Key: Stay alert. Stay faithful. Stay consistent.

ALTAR CALL

1. This is not the time to stop sowing.

2. This is not the time to complain.

3. This is the time to prepare your barns.

4. Proverbs 10:5 – “He who gathers in summer is a wise son.”

FINAL DECLARATION

• “My season has shifted.

• My seed will speak.

• My harvest will glorify God.

In Jesus’ mighty name, Amen.”
