The law of harvest is one of the strongest laws that God placed on earth. It is so powerful that God Himself will never break it. In , Jesus Christ prayed fervently, sweating blood and praying that God should change the plan of salvation so that He wouldn't have to go to the cross to die for mankind. God said 'No!' He said ‘no’ because of the law of harvest; He had to sow His only Son in order to reap many more children into His kingdom (, Corinthians 15:20).
The law of harvest states that whatever a man sows, he will reap. This is well captured in :
Be not deceived; God is not mocked:for whatsoever a man soweth, that shall he also reap.
Another beautiful thing about the law of harvest is that you will reap what you sow in greater proportions (). Therefore, whenever you give an offering or give alms, you are sowing a seed, and whatever you have given will come back to you in multiple folds. This is a law that nothing can break.
The law of harvest becomes much stronger when operated in two ways. The first is the law of firstfruit, while the second is the law of tithes. These two laws open the possibility of overflowing blessings. There are only two places in the Bible where God says that if you do something, He will bless you so much that there won't be enough room to take it ( and ). These two passages show us clearly the secret of overflowing blessings.
Many times, when people pray for overflowing blessings, God expects them to obey the laws of firstfruits and tithes so that they can receive the blessings they seek. Believers will stop struggling with their finances when they obey the divine law of harvest in their work, business, and in giving.
The Almighty God Himself put the law of harvest in place and expects us to obey it. For example, when I was first told about tithing, it didn't make sense to me mathematically, but I obeyed. I wondered back then, if one hundred per cent was not enough to take care of my needs, how can ninety per cent be sufficient after taking out ten per cent as tithe? Thank God I decided to test the law of tithing, and, to my surprise, I discovered that it was true.
