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   Mark 4:1-20; 2 Samuel 9-10; Daniel 5

Part of the fulfillment of endtime prophesies is Daniel’s prediction in Daniel 12:4, that towards the time of the end  many shall run to and fro. This prophesy is perhaps fulfilled today by the drastic change in transportation brought about by the industrial revolution which began in Britain in the 18th century. It is  amazing to realize that for thousands of years and up till about 150 years ago, the fastest mode of transportation was horse riding, but suddenly with the Industrial Revolution all that changed. From riding on horses, today men fly across the sky at lightning speed.  The industrial revolution indeed  marked a major turning point in human history.

However, the Industrial Revolution came only as a result of a spiritual shift in the lives of the people. The industrial Revolution was never a possibility without the Reformation. The reformation was a period spearheaded by Martin Luther, when a lot of excesses in the church were dealt with. From the reformation, a new generation of believers were birthed who were fervent in spirit and diligent in their work. The new work ethic then led to the development of capitalism, which eventually brought about the industrial revolution. The Industrial Revolution brought about many cultural changes. Manufacturing of goods moved from small shops and homes to large factories. From living in the villages, people began to cluster in cities to work in factories.  The revolution introduced new technologies. Transportation changed dramatically,  introducing new and faster ways of travel including railroads, steam boats, automobiles etc.  Generally the revolution changed the world, and opened up the new chapter of civilization still being experienced today.

Indeed a revelation will often provoke a revolution. When we move higher spiritually, a definite change and shift takes place outwardly in our lives. When you position yourself rightly, God causes a revolution in your life,  that will catapult you from where you used to be to where you ought to be.  When God took Joseph from prison to the palace it was a revolution. When God made David a shepherd boy to become king of Israel it was a revolution. But before the drastic change took place in their lives, they were first rightly positioned with God.  Likewise, today, we can experience our desired change of story if we are willing to pay the required price of moving higher spiritually. There is always a price to pay.

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

Those who sow in tears, reap in joy. The altar of sacrifice is the altar of turnaround. For us to experience a revolution, we need to move up higher in our prayers, study, fasting, worship and sacrificial giving. Indeed to see further we need to move higher. To take our portion, we have to become spiritually violent in the place of prayer. It is only the violent that can take it by force. Indeed it takes a lion heart to have a lionshare. For us to experience the change we desire in our nation, we must be willing to lay down in sacrifice. But when we go forth bearing precious seed weeping, we can be sure that we will definitely come back rejoicing bearing our sheaves with us.

PRAYER: Lord, Please show me the areas where I need to increase my spiritual investment so as to see a definite turnaround and experience the revolution that will move me to a higher level in life in Jesus Name. .

When God places His hand upon a man in life nothing can come against him, this is because the gifts and calling of God are without repentance.
