Psalm 126:6 ‘He that goeth forth and weepeth, bearing precious seed, shall doubtless come again with rejoicing, bringing his sheaves with him.’

DAILY READING – – Matthew 27:1-31; Deuteronomy 5-6; Job 6

The Industrial Revolution was a period of major changes in the way products are made. It took place more than 200 years ago and greatly affected the way people lived as well as the way they worked. England was the first country in which these changes took place. However, the Industrial Revolution soon spread to other European countries, the United States, and Japan.
The Industrial Revolution brought major changes that continues to affect civilization today. Because of the Industrial Revolution that happened in England in the 1760s today we can enjoy living in a civilized world. All the healthcare, transportation and technology we have today, was due to the Industrial Revolution.
Indeed the revolution changed the world, and opened up new chapters of civilization. However, the industrial Revolution was made possible because of the reformation.
The reformation was a period in history in which Christians were required to make drastic changes and sacrifices in their ways of living. During the reformation a lot of excesses in the church were dealt with. The result of these sacrifices shaped major features of Western culture that we see today, including freedom of religion, freedom of conscience, the dignity of the individual, and political democracy.
From the reformation, a new generation of believers emerged who were fervent in spirit and diligent in their work. The new work ethic then led to the development of capitalism, which eventually helped to usher in the industrial revolution. The Protestant Reformation fundamentally shaped the history of the centuries following it up until the present time.

Indeed a right spiritual positioning will often provoke a positive change of story. When you position yourself rightly, God brings about a revolution in your life that will catapult you from where you used to be to where you ought to be.
In 1 Kings 18:30-39, before the fire could fall, Elijah had to rebuild the broken down altar of God. But after rebuilding it and offering sacrifices on it, the fire of God fell from Heaven and there was a revolution in the land.
There is always something to do to experience the breakthrough or revolution we desire to see in our lives. Revolution refers to drastic change. When God took Joseph from prison to the palace, it was a revolution as his story suddenly changed. Also when God took David from being a shepherd boy to become the king of Israel, his life was revolutionized. We can experience such drastic positive changes when we are willing to pay the required spiritual price. For us to experience a revolution, we need to move up higher in our prayers, study, fasting, and sacrificial giving.
Indeed we need to ask the Lord to show us in which area we need to repair any broken down altar and make the sacrifices that will usher in our needed revolution. Indeed whatever may be withholding breakthroughs and progress we need, must be dealt with in our lives.
A sacrifice could mean laying down our Isaac, or dealing with the Achans in our camp. But when we make the necessary sacrifices, we will see the positive changes and miracles we desire. Making the sacrifices may not be easy, but the harvests will always be worth it. Indeed they that sow in tears will reap in joy.

Psalm 126:6 says ‘He that goeth forth and weepeth, bearing precious seed, shall doubtless come again with rejoicing, bringing his sheaves with him.’

We all have areas in our lives where we need to make changes or improvements. . And today as we take the decision to make the required sacrifices as revealed to us by God, the Heavens will indeed be opened up to us. Certainly, as we go forth bearing precious seed weeping, we will doubtless, definitely, come back again, rejoicing, bearing our sheaves with us.

PRAYER: Lord, please show me what I need to lay down in sacrifice. No matter how precious the seed, please grant me the grace for obedience, so that I can experience my supernatural change of story in Jesus Name.
