BGC THE FEAST TALK 2: UNLI SERIES -EARTHLY REWARDS October 20, 2012
Delaying gratification:
Planting before you harvest
Are you planting?
- if you lack earthly rewards, you are not planting
- if you want to harvest, seek for mentors on how you will plant your seeds. Study it and look for ways.
Are you harvesting?
- People think they don’t deserve it, they are not worthy of the harvest.
- Why do people dont enjoy their harvest? » because they have low self-worth
- Why don’t we find joy in our victories? Will God be insecure in our victories? NO!
- How can we be happy of our harvest? honestly love yourself: this is the 1st step to success.
Proverbs 10:5
He who gathers crops in the summer is a wise son, but he who sleeps during harvest is a disgraceful son.
St. Irenaeus
“The glory of God is a human being fully alive; and to be alive consists in beholding God.”
Remember:
-Your earthly rewards will always be incomplete so keep on planting!
- Enjoy your harvest!
- What will you do here will be rewarded in heaven.
- God works in seasons. The answer may be not today but keep on planting and soon enough, harvesting will come.
