Cultivate- To improve or develop by careful attention, training or education.
When God gave this word to me in 2022, I asked Him what cultivating looked like for me. He took me to the definition you see above and told me to develop. I would develop by gaining additional training and education to receive the blessings that He had promised me.
In this episode of the Cultivating Faith Podcast, I will provide practical steps to cultivate in any area of your life. Let’s Goooooooo
- Preparation
- In order to harvest God’s plan for our lives, we must prepare for it. The preparation process allows us to train and educate ourselves, mentally, physically and spiritually for the journey ahead. For example, if God has given you a dream to be a lawyer. Preparation to manifest that dream would look like researching law schools, applying, attending school to gain the necessary knowledge to sit for the bar.
- Preparation is the process for which you place your mind, body and spirit in the necessary state to receive you blessing. The blessing or dream is yours. I can promise you that. Jeremiah 29:11.
- Harvest
- We reap what we sow! The question I have for us is, what seeds are you sowing? Your preparation stage, allows you to gain the knowledge and experience necessary ( ie seeds) to reap the harvest that God has placed on your life. Could it be that you’re not reaping the harvest because you have not planted the necessary seeds or gained the knowledge necessary to reap a harvest.
The bible informs us in Hosea 4:6 that My people are being destroyed because they don’t know me. What knowledge do you need to gain to be successful in the “thing” that God has placed on your heart? You’ll have to answer that question for yourself. I hope this episode encourages you to start planting the seeds required to reap the bountiful harvest that God wants to provide you with.
