The Alpha of the Harvest of Faith

UV 3175/10000 The Alpha of the Harvest of Faith
Also, O Judah, he hath set an harvest for thee, when I returned the captivity of my people.
Hosea 6 v 11
Judah is the house of praise. Judah is also the lineage of Jesus, the Messiah. When we remain faithful to the Lord and continually pray and praise the Lord, He is sure to bless us with a harvest of righteousness. When we pray and praise, we are sowing in the spirit realm. The seeds are not visible but as we pray and worship, the seed of satan is crushed while the Seed of the Son of Man, Jesus is released into our lives and those for whom we pray. The Lord will surely restore the blessings of those who formerly wallowed in the sorrow and pain and misery of sin or the state of being distant from the Lord.
The Lord has set the time for our harvest of different types of blessings, spiritual, physical, material, financial, filial and familial. We need to only wait patiently with His praise in our hearts and on our lips. The wicked and unrepentant in this world will reap the harvest of their deeds and words for scripture reiterates the spiritual law, “As you sow, so you reap.” Sin sticks close to the skin of man like a leech with its many blood sucking tentacles but the word of God acts like salt on a leech and causes it to loose its grip on us and fall off. In this manner, we are released from all captivity of sin.
When a farmer reaps a rich harvest, he rejoices that all his efforts, expenses, patience in waiting for the crop to rise and ripen was not in vain. He rejoices to see the standing crop. He rejoices to see it ripen. He rejoices to harvest it. He rejoices to see the grain garnered and stored. He rejoices as he and his loved ones eat of it and profit from it. This results in spontaneous thanksgiving and praise rising from his heart to the Lord of the harvest, the one who gave the seed, blessed the soil, provided the water, the rain of blessings in time, fenced and protected it from being ruined by pest and disease. He gives a portion of the harvest to the needy in the name of the Lord.
