DON'T GIVE ME, MAKE ME (Part 2)

"For as the rain cometh down,and the snow from heaven,and returneth not thither,but watereth the earth, and maketh it bring forth and bud,that it may give seed to the sower, and bread to the eater: "_ Isaiah 55:10
Everything that comes to a man's life has dual function and the mentality of the man determines what function it will serve. For some,school is place to acquire certificate while to other it is a place of knowledge and network. To some, money is a god that controls their life; to others it is a servant that answers to all things. To some, church is an outsourcing company where prayer requests are dropped and solutions sought in ernest and so once it seems not to be forthcoming, an alternative is sought for;to others church is a family to whom one owes allegiance,service and love. To some public office is a platform for amassing wealth and witch hunting any opposition ; to others,it is a platform for selfless service to humanity. To some,life is all about hustling to survival no matter what;to others life is about living and not mere existing, taking dominion and impact.
The group you belong to is determined by your mindset. Men with the 'give me' mentality are referred to in our opening quote as 'eaters' but there is a different set of people with the 'make me' mentality-the bible passage refers to them as 'sowers. To the eater,divine benefits come as bread but to sowers,it comes as seeds. Bread is eaten but seeds are sown. Seeds multiply but bread diminish. God can only minister bread to you as food to be eaten but He will always multiply your seed sown (2Cor 9:10).
Permit me to say that whatsoever you have that cannot meet your need is simply a seed. Time is never enough so it is a seed,which if sown into positive ventures, yields her increase. That's why I pity students who can't read their books but will always be chats. That is your seed that you have converted to bread because of your mentality. No wonder civil servants retire wretched.Their peanut of a salary was consumed in luxury when they ought to have invested(sown) them as seeds.
Happy new months friends, February 2016 is a month of a New Beginning. It is needful that we go into it with a positive mentality-the mentality that believes in life as a process,the 'make me' mentality. As you seek to be made by God,my prayer for you is that God will make you a wonder to your generation.
