There is a harvest for putting God's agenda before mine.

There is a harvest for putting God's agenda before mine. It's actually one of His promises to us as followers of Jesus Christ.

>> When you do this, Matt 6:33

- But first and most importantly seek (aim at, strive after) His kingdom and His righteousness [His way of doing and being right—the attitude and character of God], and all these things will be given to you also.

>> God does this, Deut 28:1-14

- You will be blessed in the city and blessed in the country.

- The fruit of your womb will be blessed, and the crops of your land and the young of your livestock—the calves of your herds and the lambs of your flocks.

- Your basket and your kneading trough will be blessed.

- You will be blessed when you come in and blessed when you go out.

- The Lord will grant that the enemies who rise up against you will be defeated before you. They will come at you from one direction but flee from you in seven.

- The Lord will send a blessing on your barns and on everything you put your hand to. The Lord your God will bless you in the land he is giving you.

- The Lord will establish you as his holy people, as he promised you on oath, if you keep the commands of the Lord your God and walk in obedience to him. Then all the peoples on earth will see that you are called by the name of the Lord, and they will fear you. The Lord will grant you abundant prosperity—in the fruit of your womb, the young of your livestock and the crops of your ground—in the land he swore to your ancestors to give you.

- The Lord will open the heavens, the storehouse of his bounty, to send rain on your land in season and to bless all the work of your hands. You will lend to many nations but will borrow from none. The Lord will make you the head, not the tail. If you pay attention to the commands of the Lord your God that I give you this day and carefully follow them, you will always be at the top, never at the bottom. Do not turn aside from any of the commands I give you today, to the right or to the left, following other gods and serving them. 

Putting God first produces a harvest of souls and disciples. That's the first harvest. The second harvest comes from doing the Great Commission, make disciples of people and nations, God rewards (blesses) you with a second harvest of His blessings in every area of your life.

Get in on the harvest of harvests.
