Seedtime And Harvest (Defining Your Tomorrow) by Apostle Selman

Lift your hand to give God all the praise and glory. He is deserving of our praise and thanksgiving. Magnify His holy name.

The strength of any ministry is reflected in the quality of Believers it produces and that quality is directly tied to the depth of training they receive.
Ultimately, the quality of that training depends on the growth, depth, and empowerment of the minister of God.

People are shaped by the words they hear. Every word you hear has the power to build or break you.

Miracles, signs, and wonders may draw crowds, but it is the sound teaching and accurate communication of God’s Word that truly builds lives.

“And this is life eternal, that they might know thee the only true God, and Jesus Christ, whom thou hast sent.”
‭‭John‬ ‭17‬:‭3‬ ‭(KJV‬‬)

“Man that is in honour, and understandeth not, Is like the beasts that perish.”
‭‭Psalm‬ ‭49‬:‭20‬ ‭(KJV‬‬)

I pray for you: Where Satan has taken advantage of you, because you do not know who you are in Christ, may The Lord tear off that veil of ignorance and show you who you are in light of who Christ is, in the name of Jesus Christ!

The Word of God, not your challenges, is the most accurate reference to showing you who you are in Christ.

DECLARE: I am the head and not the tail! I am above and not beneath; I am a child of God, fearfully and wonderfully made; I am a fruitful vine and I’m connected to the Vine; I carry the wisdom of God!

If you don’t know who you are in Christ, the world will try to impose false identities on you; definitions about you that are not consistent with God’s Word.

Six Dimensions Of Knowledge That Every Believer Must Press For:

1. You must know God and Jesus Christ His Son.
(Daniel 11:33, John 17:3).
2. You must know yourself and know who you are in Christ.
(Psalm 49:20)
3. You must know your place in destiny and in God’s prophetic program.
(Jeremiah 1:5, Hebrews 10:7).
4. You must understand the mysteries of the Kingdom
– The body of Spiritual knowledge that empowers the Believer to manifest the Zoe life in experience.
5. ⁠You must understand man (humans) as the zenith of God’s creation.
6. You must know your adversary the devil.
(John 10:10)

Your destiny is not defined by your ambition or your career.
True fulfillment comes from discovering and walking in your God-given assignment, not just pursuing personal ambition.
In the divine order of priority, your assignment carries greater weight in producing your fulfillment than ambition.

The only way to know what you are called to do is to know The One who called you.
You cannot find your assignment outside of Him.

Believers must understand that finding their place in life doesn’t mean occupying a space meant for you alone.
No major assignment is fulfilled by one person alone. You may be a pioneer, but your role can also be to open the door that others will walk through.

Everything on earth derives it’s value from the desires of man. It is important to understand the dynamics of man and the value of relationships with men (humans).

“The thief cometh not, but for to steal, and to kill, and to destroy: I am come that they might have life, and that they might have it more abundantly.”
‭‭John‬ ‭10‬:‭10‬ ‭(KJV‬‬)

If you must reign as a king and a priest, then it becomes important for you not just to know God, His ways, and humans; you must also know the enemy and his strategies.

Satan is a destroyer. You can recognize his influence by the trail of destruction left behind; whether in a life, a family, or a system (John 10:10).
To effectively resist the enemy, you must understand his strategy: he studies or examines your desires and vulnerabilities and then uses them as weapons fashioned against you.
The strength of temptation is that it latches unto something you desire.

Pray in the Spirit for a minute, asking The Lord for wisdom as we anticipate The Word of God, tonight!

While the earth remaineth, seedtime and harvest, and cold and heat, and summer and winter, and day and night shall not cease.”
‭‭Genesis‬ ‭8‬:‭22‬ ‭(KJV‬‬)
“Be not deceived; God is not mocked: for whatsoever a man soweth, that shall he also reap. For he that soweth to his flesh shall of the flesh reap corruption; but he that soweth to the Spirit shall of the Spirit reap life everlasting. And let us not be weary in well doing: for in due season we shall reap, if we faint not.”
‭‭Galatians‬ ‭6‬:‭7‬-‭9‬ ‭(KJV‬‬)

The Kingdom of God operates based on laws and principles (Job 38:33).
Everything that happens in the Kingdom is based on engaging spiritual laws.

There are laws that regulates the dexterity around creation; they’re regulated by exact laws, some of which are psychological, some are physical, culminating in civilization. (Job 38:33)

Everything that happens in the Kingdom is based on engaging Spiritual laws.

The degree to which you engage the spiritual laws is the degree to which you will be cultured and empowered into a victorious spiritual life.

“There is therefore now no condemnation to them which are in Christ Jesus, who walk not after the flesh, but after the Spirit.
For the law of the Spirit of life in Christ Jesus hath made me free from the law of sin and death.”
‭‭Romans‬ ‭8‬:‭1‬-‭2‬ ‭(KJV‬‬)

The degree to which the Believer understands the law of faith, is the degree to which the Believer’s life will produce Spiritual results.

Spiritual Laws (Romans 8:1-2):

1. The Law of Faith
(Romans 3:27, Mark 11:23-24)
2. The Law of Unity
(Genesis 11:1-9, Acts 2)
3. The Law of Diligence
(Proverbs 22:29)
4. The Law of Honour
(1 Samuel 2:30)

The arrival of The Holy Spirit was not only dependent on prophecy, but on the law of unity.

The law of seed time and harvest works for as long as the earth remains.
Ignoring this law will be you partnering with Satan to shape a negative future for yourself.

Every Believer is given the opportunity of shaping their prophetic destiny (future).

What does the Law of Seedtime and Harvest teach us?

Every outcome, result, and consequence in life is a programmed harvest. It is a resultant effect of certain seeds sown, whether knowingly or unknowingly, over time.

The law of seed time and harvest states that every outcome, every result, and every consequence in life is a programmed harvest. It is a resultant effect of certain seeds sown over time.

Hoping that time alone will change your life is a costly illusion.
Lives and destinies don’t change by the passage of time or shifts in government. Your life will change when you know how to exact spiritual energy through the revelation and application of God’s Word.
DECLARE: I’M RISING!

Pray: I am taking advantage of spiritual laws and I’m rising by the power of the Holy Spirit!

One of the greatest mistakes we make as humans is to label every good thing in life as mere “luck.”
Just because science cannot explain a reality doesn’t invalidate it; this shows that the reality operates on a higher plane than science.
If you don’t intentionally program your outcome, there is a determined adversary (Satan) waiting to exploit your negligence or latch upon your carelessness and ready to program a future whose outcome you never participated in.

Neither God nor Satan is solely responsible for your outcome. Your outcome is shaped by the responsibility you take in partnering actively with God to fulfill your purpose.

Five Components That Must Be Understood To Make Seedtime And Harvest Work:

1. The Sower
2. The Seeds
3. The Soil
4. The Harvest
5. The Reaper

Who Is The Sower?

1. Anyone with a desire to see and experience an outcome on earth.
2. Anyone with the ability to think, speak, and act.
(Genesis 2:8, Matthew 13:31, Galatians 6:7, Matthew 13:25).
Declare: I am a sower!!

What is a Seed?

– Anything that can schedule a season of harvest (examples are: words, thoughts, actions, humans, wickedness, kindness, consecration, fasting, laziness, anger, hatred, jealousy, etc)
Galatians 6:7
– Anything that has the potential of producing an outcome is a seed.

The beautiful thing about seeds is that when the time of harvest comes, generations coming after you can benefit from the harvest and thank God forever for your life, for loving and serving Jesus Christ.

A harvest does not come overnight, but it comes.

I decree and declare, in the name of Jesus, let this be your season of harvest!
For a minister, the mantle you’ve been praying, fasting, serving and honouring others for, let it land upon you, in the name of Jesus Christ!

I decree that every information, which is inconsistent with the power and speakings of God, we cancel the effects right now, and purify your soil, in Jesus Christ name!

One of the major soils for harvest is your hearing. What you hear (the information you receive) can determine your success or failure in life and even your destiny.

The prayer of “Lord, purify my heart”, is to say God should make your heart so viable and potent to receive God’s Word and produce accordingly, free of offence.

To practice the law of seedtime and harvest is to understand the soil: the hearts of men.

The air is also a soil when you speak. The air is a spiritual phenomenon. It is a means of transport; it carries what you speak from the point of utterance to the point of delivery. Like the earth, it is a universal point of contact.

Pray: In the name of Jesus Christ, wherever my helpers and lifters are, I’m dialing numbers in the spirit and it will go faster than sounds and get into the heart of my helpers.

If you understand the principles of seedtime and harvest, you can program your tomorrow.

If you understand that words are seeds, you will learn to plan your tomorrow (your future) with your words.

The Law of Seedtime and Harvest requires understanding and engaging these five elements:

1. The Sower
According to Scriptures, a Sower is anyone with a desire to see and experience an outcome on the earth. This means anyone with the ability to see, think, and act.
The first sower in the Bible is God Himself, He had a desire, plan, and blueprint. (Genesis 2:8, Luke 8:5)
When it has to do with the business of sowing, God, men, Satan and demonic spirits are sowers. (Matthew 13:31, Galatians 6:7, Matthew 13:25)
2. ⁠The Seed
Anything that can schedule a season of harvest is called a seed. Examples of seeds are words, thoughts, actions, imaginations, diligence, attention, prayer, service, and even men (humans). (Galatians 6:7)
The beautiful thing about seeds is that when the harvest comes, generations (including your children and children’s children) can partake of it.
3. ⁠The Soil
The soil is any platform that can allow a seed to grow. The soil refers to:
– The hearts of men
– ⁠The mind
– ⁠The church
– ⁠Your hearing, etc
4. ⁠The Harvest
Every consequence that follows your sowing is a harvest. Harvests do not come overnight, but they surely come and can bless generations beyond the sower.
5. ⁠The Reaper
The reaper is God Himself, humans, and angels that can help people reap. (Isaiah 61:3, Matthew 9:38, Acts 12:5-7)

The Word of God is a seed that is divinely genetically modified.
No matter how hard a heart is to the Word, the Word of God still has power. It is called the incorruptible seed; a seed engineered by God’s wisdom and power.

“Train up a child…” doesn’t always yield immediate results. Sometimes, it feels like the seeds you’re sowing are going unnoticed. But if you wait, the fruit will speak. Like the prodigal son, the training he received didn’t vanish, it resurfaced and led him back home.

To every parent whose child has strayed, in the name of Jesus Christ, we call forth the power of those seeds sown in truth. I declare: your child will return!

Every sin can be traceable to a seed. It is the result of donating your mind to a wicked seed; engineered by Satan.

Pray: In the name of Jesus Christ, I weed out every negative seed from my mind!

I decree and I declare that every planting that is not of God, in the name of Jesus Christ, I weed out every negative seeds from you mind, heart, consciousness, and hearing!

What is the Harvest?

– Every consequence that follows your sowing (examples include, a vibrant spiritual life, favour, etc).
– The harvest talks about outcomes, results, and the end product of things.

If you don’t understand the dynamics of harvesting, you can miss or even abort the season of your reward.
Every harvest requires discernment, alignment, and action. Don’t lose what grace has made available.

In the name of Jesus Christ, I pray for you, may God start handing out keys of favour that will open strange doors.

A harvest can be good or bad; if you sow to the flesh, you will reap corruption. But if you sow to the Spirit, you will reap life and peace.
Every seed carries a future, choose wisely where you sow.

You don’t pray for a harvest, the jealousy of God guards and ensures it. What you do pray for is the grace, wisdom, and discipline to sow, because every true harvest is the guaranteed response to a faithful seed.

Who is the Reaper?

1. God Himself
(Isaiah 61:3).
2. Man (Humans) (Matthew 9:38)
Jesus said to pray that God will send labourers in form of men.
3. Angels (Acts 12:5-7)
They can help men (humans) reap. God can send reaper – angels.

According to Scripture, there’s only one being who cannot truly be called a reaper: Satan.
His harvest is not guaranteed because God can override it. The Lord can send His angels to gather and destroy the harvest of what Satan has sown. That’s why, ultimately, Satan cannot reap.

How Do You Gather Your Harvest?

1. By speaking – Your declarations and words). (Ezekiel 37:7)
Words are powerful because they can be used as both seeds and sickles. When you make faith-filled declarations, you’re not just sowing, you’re also gathering harvests.
2. Engaging the mystery of praise. (Psalm 67:5)
You’ve tried several things, when all else fails, try praise!
3. Thanksgiving. (Luke 9:16
We bless things to work by giving thanks. When you say thank you, you bless whatever you have to multiply.
Maintain a culture and discipline of thanksgiving. Live a thankful life. (John 11:41)

Lift your voice in prayer and list all the things you’re thankful for.
Use thanksgiving as a sickle to gather your harvest!

Make contact with someone and pray: Father, every seed that was planted by my ignorance, carelessness, indecision, spiritual laxity, nonchalance, let them be uprooted right now, in the name of Jesus Christ!

Pray: Every tree planted by the devil, by the power of the Blood of Jesus Christ, let that tree be uprooted right now, in the name of Jesus Christ!

“See, I have this day set thee over the nations and over the kingdoms, to root out, and to pull down, and to destroy, and to throw down, to build, and to plant.” ‭‭Jeremiah‬ ‭1‬:‭10‬ ‭(KJV‬‬)

Lift your voice in prayer and begin to proclaim promises in Scriptures over your life. Pray them as manifestation into your life!

Pray: June, I speak to you, become my month of harvest, in the name of Jesus Christ!

Pray: Use your words to program the rest of the year and your future. Make declarations for the next 10 years of your business, your marriage, your career, etc.

Lord, I bring before You my weaknesses and limitations. I receive Your help and mercy to sow faithfully. I officially invite You into the garden of my life, sow through me, Lord, in the name of Jesus Christ!

“Behold, the days come, saith the LORD, that the plowman shall overtake the reaper, and the treader of grapes him that soweth seed; and the mountains shall drop sweet wine, and all the hills shall melt.” ‭‭Amos‬ ‭9‬:‭13‬ ‭(KJV‬‬)

Pray: Lord, I’ve sown, but I acknowledge my limitations. I’ve come to the end of my strength, I’ve exhausted my options and strategies. Today, I invite You into the garden of my life; sow good seeds in my life, beyond what my prayers, fasting, labor, and efforts can achieve. Multiply it all by Your mercy, in the name of Jesus Christ!

In the name of Jesus Christ, may The Lord increase you more and more! May the hand of God rest upon your life! I pray over your prayer life, receive fresh fire upon your prayer altar, for your Word study life, fresh fire upon your altar, in the name of Jesus Christ!

I decree and declare, everything that is not of God that is growing around your life, may it be uprooted now forever and ever, in the name of Jesus Christ!

Your home is blessed! Your finances are blessed! Your health is blessed! When next we hear from you, it will be testimonies of glory, testimonies of joy, testimonies of laughter, in the name of Jesus Christ!

I decree and declare over you, experience increase on all sides; your journeys are blessed! You will go out and return in peace, and joy! Be led forth with joy, let the mark of favor rest upon you, let the mark of honor rest upon you, in the name of Jesus Christ!

I decree and declare that it will be clear before everyone that you’ve been helped by God! Crying and sorrow are over; regret and pain are over! Welcome to your season of harvest, in the name of Jesus Christ! You will move from glory to glory, in the name of Jesus Christ!

Territorial revival begins with personal revival and right now, there’s a beckoning from heaven, a clarion call from Jesus Himself.
Take this bold step of faith and begin your journey of salvation by saying “yes” to Jesus Christ. With faith in your heart, declare this prayer of salvation and receive Him as your Lord and Saviour.

If you’ve made the decision to receive Jesus Christ as your personal Lord and Savior tonight, we celebrate you, and Heaven rejoices with you! We would love to hear from you and walk alongside you on your new Christian journey.
