Breaking The Curse of Poverty

Sowing and reaping is a law of the natural and spiritual world. On the third day of creation, God commanded the earth to bring forth living plants "bearing seed" and fruit "with seed in it" (Genesis 1:12). These plants were then given to man for food. Ever since the beginning, man has understood the process of sowing and reaping and has applied it to his specific benefit. God uses the law of sowing and reaping to bestow His blessings. God's blessing comes generally to the whole world as He sends sun and rain to the just and the unjust (Matthew 5:45). In some cases, His blessings come especially to those of His choosing, such as Isaac. Genesis 26:12 says that Isaac sowed a crop and received a hundredfold in one season because the Lord targeted him for the blessing.
