God so loved the world that he gave
“For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life.” John 3:16 (kjv)
God is the greatest seed sower. He created seed. He knows what seed will do.
Seed is the great equalizer. When man says NO, God says, “YES”. In the last two years of covid, I have seen some of my greatest faith victories. I became debt free in 2021, paying off a 30 year mortgage six years ahead of time.
I also paid off a credit card that I had for 20 years. I had a $10,000 balance and in about 6 months, it was paid off.
Four weeks ago, (May 25, 2022) I had a new roof and gutters put on my house paid for in cash. It was all by the grace of God.
Back in 2018, I tried to borrow money from the Credit Union. The Credit Union said, NO. From 2018 until April 2022 of this year; I prayed, saved and sowed seed for increase.
The money came in; some of it was stimulus payments. Some of it was unexpected income, and some of it was gifts, what I call money miracles.
When man says NO, God says yes! Sowing seed is the way to get the harvest.
Seed time Harvest will set you free and keep you free.
I made giving part of my daily routine. I sowed into ministers of the gospel. I sowed into ministries. I sowed into Assembly of God missionary outreaches; I sowed into Salvation Army, Gleaners, and Forgotten Harvest.
I started a personal ministry called Act of Kindness, where I’d go into Dollar Stores and put $20.00 into the hand of a single mother with children. This ministry of giving is such a blessed ministry.
Jesus said,
“Give, and it shall be given unto you, good measure, pressed down, and shaken together, and running over, shall men give into your bosom. For with the same measure that ye mete withal it shall be measured to you again.” Luke 6:38
I heard this scripture most of my Christian life. I thought I understood it until I began to put it to work. I started by giving $1.00 a day. Then I increased it to $5.00 a day.
I pressed into my giving by challenging myself to give more and more, to go higher and higher. I paced my giving a little at a time. Then my harvests started to come in. My harvests started to increase and increase and increase. I was getting $1,000 harvests in return.
I’ve heard this minister say, ‘I don’t work for a living, I give for a living.’ He has a lifestyle of giving.
Giving is a ministry, see Romans 12:8

Church for sale
“Someone had bicycles placed in a couple of the pictures. What were they trying to say?”
I was sent this advertisement: Church for sale. As I was looking at the different parts of the church, I noticed that this church had no classrooms. This church was structured around comfort. A couple of the rooms had bicycles in them. Room after room was structured for people to relax and eat. There was one room for business meetings. Another room for entertaining children.
The message I got is a church designed to be at rest. These images troubled me in the sense that a church at rest is no threat to the enemy.
This Detroit church is for sale for $789K — let’s take a look – NewsBreak

Debt makes cowards
I recently saw a tv show made in the early 1960s, where the big man in a small community down south ruled with an iron fist. Everyone feared this man. He owned all the general stores, the ferry and the local lumber mill. He even appointed the Sheriff.
One man, who owned the hardware store, owed the big man $2000.00. That was alot of money in 1960. However, the big man wanted the shop keeper to join him in a plot to kill two people. The shop keeper was hesitant and opposed the idea.
The big man wanted to use the shop keeper’s daughter in a false accusation of attempted sexual assault against these two visitors. The shop keeper’s daughter refused to go alone with this lie.
The big man became angry and threatened the shop keeper. The shop keeper fell on his knees before the big man in front of his daughter. The shop keeper begged the big man not to hurt his daughter. The shop keeper bowed to big man’s plans. In the end, the big man and the plot was exposed.
In real life, this movie script is being repeated multiple times every single day across the world. Debt makes cowards out of people.
The big man might be a credit card company, loan company, employer or employee, drug dealer, government tax bill, medical bill, student loans, etc… Debt makes cowards
Debt will put your life on pause!
Seed meet every need.
All seed is supernatural; meaning seed always produce more than what was planted.
God designed seed to meet needs, in Genesis 1:29, God said, “…to you it shall be for meat.”
Money is a poor substitute for seed. Money is limited and can be taken away from you. In and of itself, money has no life in it.
Seed is
Seed is a container and it contains the blueprints for life!
Seed contains life and transmit it
There are times when money can not meet every need. No matter how much of it you may have! But SEED meets any need when it is placed in the hand of God!
God supplies seed to sowers. God multiplies seed and He makes all grace abound towards you THAT you might have enough for every good work! 2 Corinthians 9:6-10
Seed comes in many different forms,
Luke 18:11, ‘… seed is the Word of God’
“Through faith also Sarah herself received strength to conceive seed, and was delivered of a child when she was past age, because she judged him faithful who had promised.” Hebrews 11:11
Seed transcend racial, cultural, political, age, and strength barriers. As in the case of Abraham and Sarah.
“Whosoever is born of God doth not commit sin; for his SEED remaineth in him: and he cannot sin, because he is born of God.” 1 John 3:9 (KJV)
Your seed is always working for you, Acts 10:4. It will benefit you and your family.
If people understood the potential of seed and how to work SEED like they do money, lot of pain and misery can be avoided.
Grace & peace!

Unholy Alliance
“For ALL nations have drunk of the WINE OF THE WRATH OF HER FORNICATION, and the kings of the earth have committed fornication with her, and merchants of the earth are waxed rich through the abundance of her delicacies.” Revelation 18:3
The scripture above defines the relationship which exist between Kings (political leaders) and merchants (economic leaders) as an unholy (apart from God) alliance with the Queen of Babylon, in the sense that the god of this world holds sway over their decisions and choices, see 1 John 5:19 & Revelation 12:9.
Some people like to think their brick and mortar organizations hold some type of spiritual connection with God. Only human beings have been given dominion over the works of God’s hands. You are either aligned with God or the devil. There is no middle ground.
The scriptures use terms like sanctified or sealed to describe people covenanted with God in accomplishing his plans, see 2 Corinthians 1:22; Hebrews 2:11 & 10:14
God speaking to the Queen of Babylon
“… for thy merchants were the great men of the earth; for by thy sorceries were all nations deceived. And in her was found the blood of prophets, and of the saints, and of all that were slain upon the earth.” Revelation 18:23c
We are told that the Queen of Babylon has a cup in her hand which contains the blood of saints and martyrs of Jesus. This text describes her as being drunk off the blood of the saints.
Revelation 18:24, says ‘In her was found the blood of prophets, saints and ALL that were slain upon the earth’
This image of a drunken woman riding on the back of a beast, is responsible for all the human blood that has been shed from Abel down to this day.
Her merchants are ‘the great men of the earth.’ The merchants became rich through her trafficking activities. Get this, she is the mother of all whoredom and all abominations of the earth.
The Queen of Babylon is described as a city-government in Revelation 17:18. It is not a human government or any particular seat of power but a spiritual government that sits on top of a natural physical government ruling through those who are submitted to its will.
In Luke 11:18, Jesus described Satan as having a kingdom with subjects who work to advance his agenda.
The Queen of Babylon is the physical face of the kingdom of darkness. She represents Satan’s influence over the political, religious and economic realms of humanity.
“For thy merchants are the great men of the earth…”
“For by thy sorceries were ALL NATIONS DECEIVED…”
What were the great merchants doing?
The word, “sorceries” as used in Revelation 18:23 according to The Bible with Strongs #G5331, is defined as “pharmakeia” of which the english version is “pharmacy”. The word, “sorceries” also means medication, witchcraft, and magic.
According to Revelation 18:23, the Queen of Babylon deceived the nations with sorceries i.e, medication 💊 drugs, with a pharmacy of drugs. These drugs were administered by the kings and the merchants, the great men of the earth through schemes.
For example, back in 2008, the Great Recession also known as ‘The Subprime Mortgage Crisis’ wreck financial devastation all over the world. There was an overwhelming marketing of debt to people who could afford to repay loans. People borrowed to buy houses they couldn’t afford, refinanced mortgages, for home improvement projects, business loans, car loans, student loans, HELOC, etc…
When people began to default on their loans; big businesses and banks fell like dominoes. The government had to bailed them out of financial ruin. You would think people learned from their mistakes.
After 2008, there was even a greater maddening rush to market debt to people, to borrow again and spend for things they couldn’t afford: Student loans
Now we are heading in a direction of perhaps one of the greatest bailouts in the history of the United States, its called student loan forgiveness. That debt will simply be passed on to other people. People who had no choice in the decision to borrow. Who stands to profit? Some say, people with low credit scores. Does forgiving debt put people back into a position to borrow more money?
According to Google, “Those who benefited most from the 2008 financial crisis.”
You will find, rich people benefited the most from the 2008 market melt down.
The simple truth is, if people never learn from their error, they will keep on making the same mistakes.
There is coming a judgment in which great wealth will vanish in a moment. The great men of the earth, the merchants and kings will wail, and there will be much weeping. See Revelation 18:14-19; James 5:1-3
The kingdom of darkness, Babylon the Great, is going to be judged. The kingdom of darkness is going receive double destruction. All wealth connected to the kingdom of darkness is going to come to nothing in a moment, Revelation 18:17. There will be great loss and suffering.
Just before this judgment, God calls his people to come out of her (Revelation 18:4).
This is the season, the time to learn what the true treasures of the kingdom of God is about. The simplest way to understand what the treasures are, is by seeking the kingdom of God and his righteousness. Jesus warned us not to store treasures on the earth but invest them in the kingdom of God.
Get your Seed into God’s hands.
Grace and peace!
