Proverbs 11:25-26 ‘The liberal soul shall be made fat: And he that watereth shall be watered also himself. He that withholdeth corn, the people shall curse him: But blessing shall be upon the head of him that selleth it’.

DAILY READING – John 4:43-54; 1 Chronicles 17; Zechariah 6

Some of the methods hunters use to trap monkeys are based on their knowledge of the monkey’s unwillingness to let go of what is in his hands.
One of these methods is that the hunter brings a vase with a neck just wide enough for a monkey to stick in his open paw.
Some nuts or pieces of fruit are placed inside the vase and left in a part of the forest where monkeys can be found. Then the monkey hunter waits for a hungry monkey to come along.
Soon, a monkey will smell the treat and come looking for it. When he finds the vase with the treats, the monkey reaches inside with his hands and grabs as much as he can, but as he tries to pull out his clenched hand, he finds he cannot.
Though the monkey pulls and pulls, he finds he can’t get his fist clutching the treat through the narrow neck of the vase, unless he opens his hands. Hungry and angry, he continues pulling, and screaming, but refuses to open his hand and let go of the fruits so as to be free. He only holds tighter, pulls harder, and screams louder until the hunter sneaks up to the trap, and throws a net over the monkey, while he is still holding tightly to the treats in his hand.

We can learn a spiritual lesson from this illustration.
Withholding the seeds in your hands and not releasing it when you should, can cause you to become trapped in your situation.
But when you are open-handed, you will enjoy open doors and be released from tight situations.
In our time of need we have to learn to release the seeds in our hands.
The answer to our needs, often come in the form of seeds that we need to sow to reap the harvest we seek.
For instance, we can only gain financial freedom when we agree to let go of the financial seeds in our hands. As long as we remain tightfisted, financial freedom is not in view. But when we give freely, then we receive bountifully. What we sow is given back unto us in good measure, pressed down, shaken together and running over.
To experience greater open doors, we must be givers, so that greater blessings can be attracted to us.
We set the blessing of God into motion in our lives when we are liberal and sow at every opportunity.
When we release seeds of kindness, favor and blessing in the lives of others, we reap greater harvests of the same in the future.
We can also reap spiritual harvests of miracles, signs and wonders when we sow spiritual seeds of prayer, praise, study of the Word and kingdom service.
We must realize that everything we are experiencing in our lives today is a direct result of the seeds we sowed in the past. Each day, we are planting seeds that will be reaped in our future. Let us therefore, be deliberate in our liberality, knowing that our seeds are shaping our future.
Instead of hoarding and holding back the good seeds in our hands, let us freely release it to God and humanity, knowing that whatever good seed we sow, we shall surely reap in greater measures.

PRAYER: Lord, I thank You for the grace to continually sow good seeds wherever I go. As I sow freely, thank You for causing me to reap rich harvests of divine opportunities and greater open doors in Jesus Name.
