Jesus said in a parable, that a man sold all that he had to buy the land that had the hidden treasure. When our assignments are revealed, it may cost us everything, to obtain it. However, we will reap a hundredfold return in this life.

When the enemy knocks us down, we must learn how to encourage ourselves. When we comply, we enter into the presence of the Lord and began to think from God's perspective. It is from this mind renewal that we will hear and obey His voice and recover all.

God is the great orchestrator of our lives. Sometimes when we make a mistake, He will fix it so it looks as if He planned it. God is also creating a countermelody in our lives. He is preparing/developing us to be used in a special way, that will surprise us and everyone that we know.

The Holy Spirit will reveal to us, what we are called to do and sometimes what He wants us to have. The Holy Spirit  will also tell us specifically when/ where to walk out the calling, and when/where to reap. If we listen to His voice, we will yield a maximum harvest.

When we get to the end of our journey, before we receive the promise from God, the enemy will change tactics. The enemy will try to give us a pseudo promise. We must not take the bait Wait on the Lord and He will deliver us.  We will receive the promise .

God's Goodness is greater than our understanding. Before and after we sin, God will try to compel us to come back to Him and avoid sin through His Goodness. His Goodness will cause us to repent because He is so good.

When we trust in the Lord with al of our hearts, we will focus on what God is saying to us and not the deadline that is speaking to us. When we adhere to the deadline and ignore what God is saying, that venture will not be successful.

After we receive what God has promised, we must pass the test of success.  There is a natural tendency to believe we made it on our own, without God.  This belief can cause us to fall, if we don't correct ourselves. Let us learn how to avoid pride, stay humble,  and continue to grow in the Grace of God.

After we received the promise, the enemy will try to convince us that the promise will not mature to the end. We must keep our confidence in the Word of God and remember what He showed/told us, will come to past, if we don't give up.

God wants to posture you or put you in position to be given things, as you seek the kingdom. He doesn't need your money. He will supply you with the money to purchase, but sometimes, He will add the thing to you, without the use of your money. He is the God of multiplication.
