There is, however, a catch to reaping these harvests; the quantity and quality of fruits you produce from the word of God are dependent on the degree of your commitment to the word.

When we are committed to God’s word and follow His instructions for life, we are influencing the perpetual opening of His heavens upon our heads. And we cannot but enjoy the blessings that flow down with His rain. However, when we choose to disobey the counsel of God, as contained in His Word, we are by so doing shutting the heavens over our lives and limiting the rain of His blessings upon every area of our lives. It is the way we tend the farmyard of our souls that determines if we get our harvest or not.

It is not every life problem you are created to solve.
