The Sacrifice and the Generations

You can sow a generational pattern by sowing the right seed and making the right sacrifices.

Some facts about the harvest season:

God visited Adam in the harvest season.

The sacrifice is connected to your life and work. God said to Adam, “The ground is cursed for your sake.” Adam would eat of it in sorrow. He would sweat over it until he returns to dust.

The seed time harvest cycle is in the earth. For example, Genesis 2:4,

These are the generations of the earth…”

Generations can be defined as multiple seed time harvest events.

God visited Cain and Abel in the harvest season. Cain’s offering was rejected. Abel gave a more excellent sacrifice than Cain.

The curse creates a sense of desperation that is multiplied through the seed time harvest process.

Cain murdered his brother. The shedding of innocent blood increases the curse by sevenfold.

Genesis 4:23, Lemech killed a young man for attacking him. This blood shed continued to increase until God sent the flood of Noah’s day.

There is a pandemic of blood shed in our day and time. There are 1,250 intentional murders committed worldwide in a 24-hour period, 458,000 a year. Averages 52 every hour.

Noah’s Generations

Noah’s father saw something in him,

Genesis 5:29, Noah would comfort them concerning their work and toil of their hands because of the ground which the LORD cursed.

Genesis 6:9, “These are the generations of Noah: Noah was a just man and perfect in his generations, and Noah walked with God.”

Harvest season of Adam’s generations

Adam’s generations ended at the great flood. Man’s lifespan was cut to 120 years. Out of possibility, millions and maybe billions of people, only Noah and his family, a total of eight came through the great flood.

The first thing Noah does when God instructs him to leave the Ark is that he builds an altar and offers a sacrifice. God is pleased with the sacrifice and lifts the curse from off the ground.

“And Noah builder an altar unto the LORD; and took of every clean beast, and of every clean fowl, and offered burnt offering on the altar. And the LORD  smelled a sweet savour; and the LORD said in his heart, I will not again curse the ground any more for man’s sake; for the imagination of man’s heart is evil from his youth; neither will I again smite any more every thing living, as I have done.” Genesis 8:20-21

“While earth remaineth, seedtime and harvest, and cold and heat, and summer and winter, and day and night shall not cease.” Genesis 8:22

Noah’s generation is summed up in Genesis 10-11. Genesis 10:9-10, Nimrod ruled over Babel. The whole earth was of one language and speech. God said nothing is impossible, which they imagine to do. The earth went from chaos to one language, speech, and an incredible ability to work together.

One thing brought the judgment of God, Nimrod was a mighty hunter before God. He exerted influence on the people to begin a building project would reach into the heavens and make a name for themselves. God said it was not good. So he confounded their language, and they stopped the building program.

Your seed time harvest season

You plant seed, and it’s going to grow. God will show up in your harvest season. We have a perfect sacrifice, Jesus Christ the Lamb.

Be not deceived; God is not mocked: for whatsoever a man soweth, that shall he reap. For he soweth to his flesh shall corruption; but he that soweth to the Spirit shall of the Spirit reap life everlasting.”
