Be a Deliberate Planner
Pastor Zubeda Sing · 2 min read
“Now at Caesarea [Maritima] there was a man named Cornelius, a centurion of what was known as the Italian Regiment, a devout man and one who, along with all his household, feared God. He made many charitable donations to the Jewish people, and prayed to God always.”
If we look at the above scripture, we notice the man, Cornelius. He was a centurion in the army. He was not a Jew, he was never trained in the Jews laws of giving and tithing, nor did anyone tell him to take care of the poor. Yet this man was intentional in his devotion to God, he was a disciplined man who not only loved God himself, but his whole household feared God with him. He was the kind of man who planned and disciplined his life carefully. He trained his whole household by the manner of life that he lived. He was a man of influence just by the way he conducted his life. There was consistency and a deliberate plan in place that would cause him to succeed as well as his whole household. He was a seed sower. He gave to the poor. He was a generous man and his generosity included his entire household.
His day included was planned with worship to God and when he went about his daily routine, he was a man who gave alms (financial seed) to the poor. This attracted the attention of God. Him and his whole household were saved.
We too, have to plan out our lives so that our lives include God in every aspect of our lives. We need to be more God conscious and God centered. When we focus on God, we can be sure God focuses on us. Seeding and sowing financial seed into the kingdom of God should also be a part of our plan and vision. When we are attracted to God, we get God’s attention.
Seed sowing is a deliberate plan to include the prosperity of God in our lives. It is God who prospers us.
