OPEN HEAVEN 12 DECEMBER 2025 TODAY DEVOTIONAL
TOPIC: THE LAW OF HARVEST
MEMORISE:
But this I say, He which soweth sparingly shall reap also sparingly; and he which soweth bountifully shall reap also bountifully.
2 Corinthians 9:6
READ: Genesis 8:22, Galatians 6:9:

9 And let us not be weary in well doing: for in due season we shall reap, if we faint not.
RCCG OPEN HEAVEN 12 DECEMBER 2025 TODAY MESSAGE
In 1979, I travelled for a Kenneth Hagin camp meeting in Oklahoma, USA. During the meeting, a minister announced the collection of an offering for their Bible College.
At that point, a man asked for permission to speak to the congregation. He said, “I want to announce that the sum of what you all give is what my wife and I will give.” There were about 17,000 people in the congregation, and when the offering was summed up, it amounted to 3.5 million dollars. When everyone in the congregation heard this, we all thought that the man was in big trouble. However, he took the microphone and said, “Brethren, is this all you can do?”
Where I sat, I said to myself, “This man knows something that I don’t, and I’m going to find out what he knows.”
As soon as the service ended, I walked up to him and said, “Sir, can I know your secret?” He said, “It is very simple. Five years ago, I started a business with 500 dollars, and I reached an agreement with God that I would not insult him by giving him 10% of the profits. I started giving God 90% while I kept 10% of the profits. Now, I am worth over 50 million dollars, so l know what I am doing.”
The law of harvest says that if you sow sparingly, you will reap sparingly. Someone who sows a thousand burnt offerings should automatically know that the result will not be small. A thousand burnt offerings in hundredfold returns will be extremely large.
Solomon gave God a thousand burnt offerings in 2 Chronicles 1:6. In 2 Chronicles 7:5, the next time he was going to give an offering, he gave 22,000 oxen and 120,000 sheep, which means that God must have greatly multiplied his initial seed. That was the law of harvest playing out. In Solomon’s case, he didn’t just get more animals, he got many other things that money cannot buy – wisdom, understanding, peace, and long life.
2 Corinthians 9:7-8 says that when you give, God is able to make all grace abound towards you. When you check Solomon’s history, throughout his reign, there was not a single war fought against him even though he lived in an era where kings went to war frequently.
Beloved, honour God by giving to Him, and He will fill your storehouses until they overflow (Proverbs 3:9-10). This is the law of harvest, and it is a promise from God that will never fail
KEY POINT
If you want to reap bountifully, you must sow bountifully; this is the law of harvest.

OPEN HEAVEN DEVOTIONAL 12 DECEMBER 2025 COMMENTARY
MEMORISE: 2 Corinthians 9:6
“But this I say, He which soweth sparingly shall reap also sparingly; and he which soweth bountifully shall reap also bountifully.”
This verse establishes a spiritual law as immutable as the law of gravity. It is not about mere giving; it’s about the principle of proportionate harvest. Your harvest—in every area of life—is directly tied to the measure and heart behind your sowing. It is a divine economic system where faith, expressed through generosity, triggers supernatural multiplication.
BIBLE READING: Genesis 8:22, Galatians 6:9
These two verses frame the eternal reliability of the harvest principle:
Genesis 8:22: “While the earth remaineth, seedtime and harvest… shall not cease.” This is God’s covenant with nature, and He applies the same principle to the spiritual and material realms. It is as perpetual as the earth itself.
Galatians 6:9: “And let us not be weary in well doing: for in due season we shall reap, if we faint not.” This promises the certainty of the harvest (“shall reap“) but also defines its timing (“in due season“) and the required posture: persistent faithfulness.
The Radical Economics of the Kingdom Harvest
Pastor E.A. Adeboye shares a staggering testimony to illustrate that God’s principles of giving are not about charity alone, but about strategic spiritual investment. The devotional reveals that what the world sees as foolish extravagance, God sees as faith-filled sowing that activates the law of a supernatural harvest.
1. The Law of Harvest: A Divine Guarantee
It is a Law, Not a Suggestion:
Like the law of seedtime and harvest in nature, this spiritual law operates with predictable certainty. You cannot sow corn and expect to reap mangoes. Similarly, you cannot sow sparingly, fearfully, or grudgingly and expect a bountiful, joyful harvest.
Proportionate Returns:
The principle is one of multiplication, not just addition. The man in the testimony sowed 90% of his profits—a radical, disproportionate seed. His harvest was not just a return of his money, but a multiplication of his entire enterprise ($500 to over $50 million). Solomon’s thousand burnt offerings yielded a harvest of 142,000 animals and immeasurable wisdom.
2. The Heart of the Sower: Honour Over Obligation
Giving as an Act of Honour:
The businessman stated he did not want to “insult God” with 10%. This reframes giving from a duty (the tithe as a minimum) to a privilege of honouring a covenant Partner. Proverbs 3:9-10 commands, “Honour the LORD with thy substance… So shall thy barns be filled with plenty.”Honour triggers overflow.
Cheerful, Not Compulsory (2 Corinthians 9:7):
The God who loves a “cheerful giver” is responding to the faith and love behind the gift, not just the amount. The man’s bold challenge to the congregation flowed from a heart so confident in God’s faithfulness that he saw the offering as a collective opportunity for harvest.
3. The Scope of the Harvest: Beyond Money
Financial Multiplication:
The testimony and Solomon’s example clearly show material and financial increase. God is the ultimate economist and can orchestrate favor, ideas, and opportunities that translate into material blessing.
The Greater Harvest: Grace for Every Need:
2 Corinthians 9:8 reveals the true bounty: “God is able to make all grace abound toward you; that ye, always having all sufficiency in all things, may abound to every good work.” The harvest includes the grace (divine enablement) to have enough and to excel in good works. For Solomon, this meant wisdom, understanding, peace, and unprecedented national security—“not a single war.” These are blessings money cannot buy.
4. The Faith That Activates the Law
The “Knowing” Confidence:
The businessman declared, “I know what I am doing.” This was not arrogance but the confidence that comes from years of seeing the law work. His faith was in the Law-Giver, not in the money itself.
The Principle of Firstfruits and Sacrifice:
His 90% giving was a firstfruits offering of his profit. Solomon’s thousand burnt offerings were costly sacrifices, given whole and completely consumed. God honors the seed that represents faith, sacrifice, and priority—the kind that says, “God, I trust You more than this resource.”
How to Position Yourself for a Bountiful Harvest
1. Audit Your Sowing Posture:
Are you sowing sparingly or bountifully? Is your giving an act of joyful honour or a reluctant obligation? Ask God to adjust your heart to see giving as your greatest investment strategy.
2. Sow in Faith, Not Fear:
Calculate your giving based on God’s promise, not your current balance. Start where you are, but be willing to sow sacrificially as God directs, trusting the harvest to His timing (“due season”).
3. Sow Expectantly, But Patiently:
Do not grow weary (Galatians 6:9). The harvest has a season. Solomon’s massive offering in 2 Chronicles 7 came after the temple was built and God’s glory had filled it. There is a process between sowing and reaping.
4. Broaden Your View of the Harvest:
When you give, pray for and expect a harvest that includes peace, wisdom, divine health, favor, and opportunities for kingdom impact, not just financial increase.
Warning: The Poverty of a Closed Hand
To sow sparingly out of fear, greed, or unbelief is to actively choose a sparing harvest. It is to opt into spiritual and often material scarcity. You insult God not by giving little, but by distrusting His promise of provision and thereby limiting His channel of blessing back into your life.
Conclusion: Becoming a Conduit of Blessing
Pray this:
“Heavenly Father, Owner of all, teach me the radical faith of the harvest. Break every spirit of fear and scarcity in my life. Help me to honour You with a cheerful and bountiful heart, sowing seeds of faith that reflect my absolute trust in Your covenant. Make me a conduit of Your blessing, and let my life reap a hundredfold harvest of grace, sufficiency, and kingdom impact, in Jesus’ name.”
Action Steps:
- Conduct a Sowing Review: Look at your giving over the last 6 months. Ask God if He would have you increase your sowing in a specific area (tithes, offerings, alms, missions).
- Make a Faith Promise: This week, commit to a sacrificial gift beyond your regular tithe. Do it joyfully as an act of honour, and record it as a seed sown. Pray over it and watch for the harvest.
- Study the Great Sowers: Meditate on the giving of the widow of Zarephath (1 Kings 17), the Macedonian churches (2 Corinthians 8), and the poor widow (Mark 12:41-44). Note the sacrifice and the supernatural results.
Remember: You are not giving away your seed; you are planting it in the only soil guaranteed to yield an eternal, multiplied return—the kingdom of God. Your harvest is as certain as God’s word.
“Give, and it shall be given unto you; good measure, pressed down, and shaken together, and running over…” (Luke 6:38). The harvest is not just more; it is more than you have room to receive. Sow in faith, and get ready for the overflow.
