Make Room ! Clear Out the Old Grain !
“I will look favorably upon you, making you fertile and multiplying your people. And I will fulfill my covenant with you. You will have such a surplus of crops that you will need to clear out the old grain to make room for the new harvest!" Lev 26:9-10
Many a times our lives are swamped with materials, possessions, old bad habits, primitive thinking etc that leaves no space for God to bless us with His blessings. We think we have enough with all the earthly possessions we obtained, we think we have become very wise because we have so many years of proven experiences behind us. We think we are self sufficient. We have all the "old grain" which God asks that we clear out before we can experience His new harvest.
This may also relate to a church where the leaders are so comfortable with the old ways of doing things. Little did they realise that it is no longer effective for God's work. God wants to bless His people with new harvest but the leaders are reluctant to change and be sensitive to the times and to the leading of the Holy Spirit. Instead they stick to the "old grain" and not willing to change.
Check if you have any old grain that needs to be cleared out. It can be your thinking, it can be certain strongholds in life or it can be your possessions or your way of life. If there are, clear them out and make room for God's new harvest.
GOT PURPOSE !
