Ephesians 3:20 ‘Now unto him that is able to do exceeding abundantly above all that we ask or think, according to the power that worketh in us..’

DAILY READING; Luke 10:21-42; Genesis 18; Psalm 11

Mary Bethune was the youngest of 17 children, born to parents who were black slaves, in South Carolina in the early 1800s. From the time she was a little girl, Mary had always dreamed about teaching. But her parents had no money to educate her. Mary’s life changed when a local missionary woman offered to pay for her education. Mary became the first African-American student to attend Moody Bible Institute, graduating in 1895. At 20 years old, she applied for missionary service to Africa, but it was declined. As Mary sought God’s will for her future, she had the leading to start a school for black children. In 1904, with only $1.65, she rented a broken-down cottage for the school. She found old cardboard boxes and used them for desks. She would get red berries each day, drained the juice out of them so her students could use that for ink in their pens. She made pencils from charred wood.
As she pursued her dream, in less than two years, her school grew to 250 students and four teachers.
A few years later, a local college noticed what was happening and asked her to join forces with them. It became known as the Bethune-Cookman college. Many years later, it would become Bethune-Cookman University.
Mary’s work on behalf of African Americans received attention from the White House. In 1934, President Franklin Roosevelt appointed her as an adviser to his cabinet, making her the first African American woman ever to become a presidential adviser! In 1953, she was invited to travel to Africa as part of a special team of United States representatives. Where once she had been turned away, Mary now went with great honor.
As she neared her final years, and as president emeritus of Bethune-Cookman university, Mary remained ever thankful to God and continually marveled at how He had turned the little seed of her dream into a great harvest.

Many of us are not even aware of the tremendous treasure lying within us. While looking for the big breakthroughs we sometimes underrate the value of the little seed God has put in our hearts.
There is a seed already in your hands. It could be a talent, idea, skill, or dream. The Almighty has endowed you with the seed for your harvest. There is something crying within you for expression. Don’t underestimate it, though it may look small and insignificant. All you need is to fervently seek God and connect to His wisdom and guidance. With that small seed, God is indeed able to do exceeding, abundantly above all that we ask, think or imagine. [Ephesians 3:20].

All David had was a slingshot and a stone. It looked insignificant and ordinary, but when God breathed on it, David defeated Goliath with the stone and became the King of Israel.
All Moses had was a rod, but when God breathed on it, that rod supernaturally parted the Red Sea and God did great signs and wonders with it.
There is something right now within you, it may seem small, but it is the seed of the great harvest you are looking for. When Prophet Elisha asked the widow what she had, she underrated her jar of oil. She felt she had nothing.
But when God breathed on that jar of oil, it multiplied to pay off all her debts. [2 Kings 4:1-7].

The disciples also neglected what was available when they said ‘we have nothing but five loaves and two fishes’. But Jesus understood the principle of the seed, and multiplied the little they had to feed the multitude.
The harvest you want will always be inside something you already have. You don’t need to look too far for your breakthrough. In God’s principle of growth, the available will always produce the desirable. Inside the seed of an acorn is a great oak tree. Inside everyone is the seed of great talents and abilities.
Many times what people have are not money problems but idea problems. Every great business started with a little idea. There is an idea God has planted in your mind. And in this season of supernatural harvest, as your eyes are opened to see them, the Lord of Increase will indeed multiply those little seeds into a bountiful harvest for you.

PRAYER: Lord, please in this season of supernatural harvest, open my eyes to see the hidden potentials within me that I may have been neglecting. By Your grace, these seeds of divine ideas will manifest into a great harvest for me in Jesus Name.
