YOUR GROUND IN ITS BEST PERFORMANCE - Large Place Series 013
Read Luke 12:16-22
Luke 12:16-17,KJV
"16 And he spake a parable unto them, saying, The ground of a certain rich man brought forth plentifully: 17 And he thought within himself, saying, What shall I do, because I have no room where to bestow my fruits?"
What you're reaping now may not be what you should reap. You don't have to be a farmer before you're regarded a "reaper." If you're a salary earner and you only earn little when you should be earning more, it means your land is not yielding to you its best. What you do especially if it's not affording you its best means you're not yielding maximally and so you may not know the plentiful life or have the testimony of this man we're to consider here "whose land brought forth plentifully" and so "sought a larger room" to accomodate the produces. You could see in him a hunger for relocation to a place where he could contain all.
Naturally when seeds are sown into lands, it can't all perform the same way. The parable Jesus gave here shows how farming, sowing and reaping works. Some will bring forth in thirty, sixty and then in hundred fold (Matt.1 3:3-8). So many things could cause the land not to yield its best. Infertility is one naturally. Not being where God wants you be: on your destiny work and in your destiny land may also not make you reap in hundred fold. There's a place each of us have been designated to experience awesome experience. Not being there is actually being out of position and not meeting with the ordained plans of God for us. That's why when God told Isaac to stay in the land and sow therein, he did. At that time, Isaac should not be in Egypt or anywhere even if they seem the popular places to be. When he did, what was the result? We were told that in the same year (when there was famine, when there was no rain or good rain), he reaped a hundred fold (Gen.26:12). Now, that's no longer ordinary. God aided him to have that and "how" is what we don't know. Naturally, it's hard for a farmer to have hundred percent. Rodents, pests, insects and lack of good storage facilities are things that reduce or militate against these chances even if God gives him a hundred percent yield. Human inadequacy and lack of proper facilities or storages may reduce it yet your own hundred fold with understanding could be retained. That's why this certain rich man embarked on building a better barn because he wants to retain all the "plentiful" , "hundred fold" yield sent to him. That his land brought forth plentifully means it towers to hit hundred fold. That's the maximal point.
So, having seen that yields are in levels, we should congratulate this man whose ground brought forth plentifully. "Plentifully" means maximally. It means that land gave its best capacity. It means under fertilization, watering, proper sunlight etc, what that land should yield was what it yielded. May every Christian and those with calls be this land who will yield itself maximally and in hundred fold to the Master. It is this plentifully bringing forth that raised a question of "where shall I bestow all my goods?" He acknowledged he has been blessed beyond measure and what he had prepared and put on ground couldn't hold God's blessings again. The facilities that blessing met couldn't contain it and it isn't wise to waste God's precious blessings. He was a wise farmer and entrepreneur. He wanted to maximize this hundred fold blessing and yield of His ground or venture, so he thought of building a new facility. I pray, may you be forced to expand. May you be forced to do more, take more and become more. This agriprenuer never saw any reason for new facility but God forced one on him. When blessings came, he submitted to a greater plan and launched the greatest building project of his life. God is saying I should tell someone that "growth is coming." He said "your land will yield plentifully." Your land is what your hand has found doing. That same will perform maximally to its peak and you'll be made rich. New risings and steps that you have never dreamt of would be consequent because of that blessing. I see a change in status. A taking to a more roomy place. A settling in a place that contains and accumulates all you'll see. I see that you're enough to devise means to trap all heaven's blessings to you. As I talk, your yield has change and has taken a leap. Be blessed to seek a larger room, warehouse and barn.
PRAYER: Lord, bless me beyond measure. Let my land obey and bring forth plentifully. I reap maximally in my work. I reject curses and devourers.
