CREATE wealth with a financial windfall!

Hi, I'm John Humenik. Welcome back to the channel. I'm so excited you're here. Today we're going to be talking about a kingdom harvest, and it's all going to be about when, where, and how you reap your harvest as a part of the work that you've done. If you missed my previous video called Kingdom Planting, go ahead and pause this one because you're going to want to watch that one first because it gives you the 3 essential steps to set the stage for what this video does. And if you already watched this video, awesome. Please make sure you subscribe and click on the notification bell so that when we pump out new amazing content, you'll be aware of when it happens. And also, if you get a chance, please share this with a friend because it is going to be amazing. So let's go ahead and start catching up with the essential number 4. Picking up from the previous video is understanding where a good harvester must know when to reap the harvest. And this is so key. This is important to understand is if you're new to kingdom business, kingdom finances, there is a particular way God wants you to walk out life in victory so that you can operate from the kingdom place that you're at. And this is so important because as you continue to do the things God wants you to do, it's going to set the stage for everything that he was— go forward. So it's key, but you have to know when to reap the harvest. It's no different— in the last video we were talking about tomatoes and cucumbers. Do you go and harvest tomatoes after they're rotten, or cucumbers after they're eaten by bugs, or when they're too early, when they're still not fully formed? You don't do that because that's not the essence of what you're supposed to accomplish as a part of your— as a part of when you do your farming and kingdom planting. When you sow your seed, your money into the kingdom, you have to know when to harvest it because it'll apply. And a lot of people miss this. And so make sure you take some notes because this is really going to open your eyes to how you can move forward in victory, because the world doesn't talk about this because it doesn't want you to be victorious. So John chapter 4, verses 35, it says, do you not say there are yet 4 months, then comes the harvest. Look, I tell you, lift up your eyes and see that the fields are white for harvest. Now I want to make sure that you understand the context of what this Bible verse was, because this is when Jesus met the woman at the well, and she was talking with him about the situation of like, hey, who are you that you are a Jew that would talk with me, this person who's an outcast to the nation? And yet Jesus knows that she's got an evangelistic heart at, in, and at the, at the core of her, and she becomes the vehicle in which Christ becomes the path in which she basically moves into the town of Samaria so that he can preach the gospel for 2 days. And he doesn't even have to do miracles, signs, and wonders. They just believe him on his word. So what God is saying is, is that when you're reaping a harvest— and this is the part that where Christians miss it— is that when you reap a harvest, it is a combination of either souls Or finances, or both, and you can do them independently. But obviously, if you're doing the finances, it's a prelude to souls because that's the essence of what things does. So if you're not, if you're trying to produce a harvest of money for yourself, but you don't attach the souls to it, there's not going to be. There's going to be no growth over time. Eventually, you'll get stunted. But you can have both, and they can be done at the same time. I mean, à la church services is a perfect example of that, where these things can happen. So you have to recognize those moments when it's ripe. to harvest that soul, when it's ripe to harvest those finances, because in those moments, that's where God will move forward. We're going to focus on the finances as a part of this video, but I just want you to unpack and understand that it does apply to both. So when you see these scriptures, they're layered, and don't let anyone tell you otherwise, because that's how God works. I mean, his prophecies speak of the future, but guess what? That future repeats itself, and so therefore the prophecy comes to pass over and over again. And so for the word of God applies to that. Let's hop into Isaiah 9:3, and it says, you have multiplied Supply the nation. You have increased its joy. They rejoice before you as with joy at the harvest, as they are glad when they divide the spoil. This is so important to recognize. If I remember— and I'll tell you the story— when I used to live back in Pittsburgh, there was a neighbor of mine who grew a huge crop of corn. It was amazing. And I remember when they went and harvested the corn, they had this huge party in which they went and they harvested all the corn, even if some of the corn wasn't even ready. They just harvest it all. And he just— because it was one of those things, it's like, we're gonna do it and we're gonna be done, because Pittsburgh summers ended pretty quickly. And so you kind of had to get the food before it got— the cold came. And he had a huge party and they ate everything. He had people come over and he had to invite over a ton of people, and it was a great time. That's what God is saying, is, is that you have to recognize is that when you're at that harvest stage, there's an element of joy there. Are you preaching the gospel with joy? Are you sharing those things with people with joy? Because what happens is, is the harvest of souls is done through joy. It's done with rejoicing. But that rejoicing also applies with the finances. When you go ahead and get paid, are you praising God? Or has getting a paycheck just become mundane as a part of your work? Are you praising God when that customer sends you a check? Or whenever you get that raise, are you taking the first fruits of that raise and giving it wholly to a man of God in your life? That's what God is saying. That's the thing is, is that this, finance. These things are a seed in which you were able to do, and you divide it and you share it in abundance. And that's what God does, is he knows— you know when those things are coming. You know when you're getting paid. You know when these opportunities are coming forth. You need to be rejoicing in those moments as a part of that harvest. It's incredible. Let's move over to Galatians 6:9, because this also teaches us another important aspect of your harvest, because you have to recognize When, where, and how to reap your harvest. It's layered. And we talked about a couple elements, but we're going to talk about another one that's really key. It says, and let us not grow weary of doing good, for in due season we will reap if we do not give up. Now, this is important. Again, this applies to salvation and this applies to finances. But let's go ahead, talk about the financial side of things. It's no different in business. If you continue to apply the business principles and adapt and continue to improve, you will never fail in business. It's impossible. To fail. You just continue to grow, you will continue to exceed, and the very lessons that you learn will apply to future things that will allow you to accelerate even faster. But it's important to note, you don't eat your harvest before it's ripe. God's put the timing of the harvest for financial choices in the heart of his children. You've got the innate ability to know when something is ready to go, and so therefore you allow those things to continue to develop until it's ready. You don't pull money out of your business too early. You don't do those things where you then start to skew things because you're impatient and you try to impulse buy. That's not how the kingdom works. It's all based upon God's timing. A good harvester must know where to reap his harvest. And think about this, this is key. You got to know where to reap your harvest because in Genesis 26:12, and Isaac sowed in that land and reaped in the same year a hundredfold. The Lord blessed him. The Lord's going to show you where your harvest is located in kingdom business and kingdom finance. This equates Yeah. And this equates to really 4 different things. It equates to your opportunities that are in front of you, expansion opportunities where you can take what you have and explode it, projects that are coming up that you can take and receive and get and be able to generate more income, and new jobs and opportunities that which you can create. A good harvester must know that these things are there. So you have to be able to sow into those places. That's what we talked about in the previous, the kingdom planting one. And then when you're doing this, then when you've, when you've done those sowing, then you continue to water it with the word of God, with your praise, with your thanksgiving, what will happen is, is these things will continue to grow, and more opportunities, more expansion, more projects, and new jobs will just come. And you'll know because God will put it in your heart. You're like, well, where do these things come? God will just show you. God will open your mind. He'll just— it'll be like an explosion, and it'll just happen. And that's going to be key, because a good harvester must know to reap all the harvest. And this is so important because a lot of people forget this, and this is key. This is a super powerful verse. Because this is the promise of the verse that Jesus said that you can get the hundredfold harvest. And it's in Scripture because I'm just going to go ahead and read it. I didn't have to read it. You don't have to argue with me. You get to argue with God if you don't believe this. Mark 10:29-30. Jesus says, truly I say to you, there's no one who's left house or brothers or sisters or mother or father or children or lands for my sake or for the gospel who will not receive a hundredfold now in this time. Houses and brothers and sisters and mothers and children and lands. And persecutions in the age to come. So I want to make sure you understand this for a first most. I will assure you that if you are a person who is still stuck in the same town that you're in, that you grew up in, there's a really good chance that God is going to pluck you out of that town. In fact, I would say probably on a degree of 95 to maybe 99% of the people, God uproots and moves as a part of their work. Even if they just move across town to a place that's different, God's going to move you when. God moves you, as he moved us from, um, he moved us from Pittsburgh down to the South. What he did is he took that and he said, you're gonna have to leave everything behind. We left everyone behind. We just took just the family. In fact, a lot of the materials and possessions we had, we just got rid of because we didn't want them anymore, because we wanted to make the trip easier. But God blessed those who will then get uprooted a hundredfold. But this is key. But this is key. He says, listen to this: houses and brothers. So again, prosperity gospel. God says right here, if you don't want to argue with me, go ahead. You can argue with the scriptures. One, it says, now in this time, houses and brothers and sisters and mothers and children and lands. This is a promise to you that when you are going to move forward in the kingdom of God, he promises you houses and lands, but he also promises you persecution with the age to come. So it's important that you continue to receive all these things, because when you receive them, you're going to You're going to obtain them. They lay hold of. It's the Greek lambino. And so when you start to understand is is that this hundredfold harvest must be done. It has to be harvested over and over again because a hundredfold harvest is a big deal. Think of it as like in the sense using the example of the cucumbers and the tomatoes from earlier. If you got a hundred tomatoes and a hundred cucumbers from each vine, and you've got ten or twenty or thirty vines in your garden, that's a lot of tomatoes and cucumbers. But you're going to have to continue to harvest it. Over and over again until it's fully done. And you know as well as I do, those plants are going to continue to grow and continue to make more fruit. And so it's a continuous process. You must understand, as a part of knowing what— that you must continue to harvest until it's completely done, until it's completely exhausted, because that's the key. Proverbs 27:23 talks about this: Know well the condition of your flocks and give attention to your herds. Do you know how much tithe Do you know how much you've tithed last year? Do you know how much you sowed last year? If you don't, you need to go back and calculate those things because you should be praying over that seed that's in the ground today. It's so important because that's the essence of how God's going to pay you back. If you do not know how much tithe you put into the ground, how much you sowed through offerings into people, because that's what sowed me, where it's in the top of the tithe, then you're, you're missing out on the blessings that God could give you because you may start You may start harvesting things and then get to a point where you're like, well, I got enough money from this, from all these things that God has blessed me with, and stop. But God's like, no, you still have 50x in the ground. You only got 50x back. You have 100x total. Continue to harvest it because it belongs to you. And that's key. Essential number 5 talks about how to reap your harvest. This is key. Isaiah 41:15, another word of the Lord, is so powerful. Behold, I make of you a threshing sledge, new, sharp, and having teeth, and you shall thrash the mountains and crush them, and you shall make the hills like chaff. Now, when you study the word teeth in here, you understand that it's actually— when you look at the actual Hebrew word, it actually is related loosely to the word mouth, obviously, because you have teeth in your mouth. But what it really means is, is that as you attach your declaration, your confession, depending on the church you grew up in, that your harvest is going to come. And it says, Romans 4:17, this is as it is written, I have made you father of many nations in the presence of the God in whom he believed, and who gives life to the dead and calls into existence the things that do not exist. I'm gonna go one more. Proverbs 10:5. He who gathers in the summer is a prudent son, but he who sleeps in harvest is a son who brings shame. Many sow their seed and wait for God to reap the harvest, but that's not how it works. A natural harvest doesn't simply jump from your garden or from the farm into your kitchen. It requires someone to go out there and reap it. So here it is. Who does the sowing? Man does. Who does the growing? God does. But who reaps the harvest? Man. That's the essence. It's so important when you recognize that if you've not gone out and claimed your harvest through opportunities, jobs, new kind of key positions, and all kinds of projects that God has been blessing you with, then what's happening is, is that you're missing out on all All those expansion opportunities that God's blessed you. He wants you to receive the full 100-fold harvest as a part of your walk with Christ. So those opportunities and expansion and projects and new jobs, they're there for you to— for as a continuous process, and that you have to continually reap the harvest over and over again. You have to continue to put your hand to the plow and move it forward and continue to accomplish those things, because God's going to show you when, where, and how to reap that harvest. He's just going to do it. You just have to be surrendered enough to receive it and be obedient to the way he wants you to do it. Because once you do, it'll happen because he'll just meet you there. He'll show you all those things. He'll show you the path he wants you to take, the words that he wants you to speak, the things he wants you to sow into. He'll do that. And he'll want you to pray over those things and bring it all into fruition and to come into fulfillment. Because it talks about this in 2 Corinthians 9:6-11. It says, the point is this: whoever sows sparingly Will also reap sparingly, and whoever sows bountifully will also reap bountifully. Each one must give as he has decided in his heart, not reluctantly or under compulsion. For God loves a cheerful giver, and God is able to make all grace abound to you, so that having all sufficiency in all things at all times, you may abound in every single good work. As it is written, He has distributed freely. He's given you seed. He has given to the poor. He's given righteousness and is endures forever. He who He supplies seed to the sower, and bread for food will supply and multiply your seed for sowing and increase the harvest of your righteousness. And you will be enriched in every single way to be generous in every single way, which through us will produce thanksgiving to God. And that's the essence of all these things. When you are planting your harvest, you're planting it because you are joyfully giving back to God in accordance to the things that you believe in so that you could plant in good soil. That's the essence of what God does. Your tithe to your church and you're sowing your offerings in good soil, in ministries that you believe in. But what God is saying here, he said he's going to continue to multiply your seed, which is your finances, so that you can increase your sowing, you can increase the harvest of your righteousness, and you will be enriched in every single way because you will be enriched and enrich others. And then all of this produces thanksgiving and glory to God. And that's the essence where Christians miss when it comes to finances. We believe that money is the root of all evil. And we know it's the love of money is the root of all evil. And that's when we then take and say, oh, well, money is a tool. No, money is not a tool. Money is a seed. When you recognize it's a seed, and then when God talks about sowing, he's talking about 2 core concepts. He's talking about reaping a harvest of souls and reaping a harvest of finances, which they're correlated. And in order to reap souls, you have to have money. You can't go do the things God wants you to do in the kingdom of God without finances. And God talks about finances more than any other concept in the entire Bible. That's how important it is to God. So he knows because of the way the society is built and the economies are structured and governments are set up and the laws are put in place, finances are key. But he's trying to teach you through these scriptures that you've got to go get your harvest. You have to be attentive to God, to the things that he wants you to do in the season he wants you to do them in order for you to reap that harvest. Is even though it's a good idea, is it a God idea? And if it is a God idea, what about the timing? Because when he puts a vision in your heart, he wants you to understand. That, that vision needs to be communicated. You need to unify people around you so that you can then ultimately implement your plan. And that's key. And that's how God's going to bless you. He's going to bless others through you. And when he knows he can bless you in confidence and that you continue to be generous in all the things that you do— because remember, this is about kingdom salvation, this is about saving souls. Ultimately, that's what it's all about. When you have that underpinning and that love for souls and the love for your enemy and the love for your neighbor to allow them to be seen and heaven, then God's going to bless you in so many different ways and so profoundly that it will never stop. And that's the essence of what it is, because when you delight yourself in the Father and the things that he wants you to do, delight in Jesus Christ and the position of who he is, honoring him as King of Kings and Lord of Lords, and you delight yourself in the Holy Spirit and you respect and you become humble and surrender to them and obedient to them, then God's going to give you all the desires of your heart. That's what that means. That's what it means to take on the righteousness of Christ. That's what it means to walk out a surrendered life. That's what it means to operate in kingdom principles.
