He Supplies the Harvest by Alicia Briscoe


Now he who supplies seed to the Sower and bread for food will also supply and increase your store of seed and will enlarge the harvest of your righteousness. 2 Corinthians 9:10

We are currently experiencing an inflation in every area of life. The increase of prices for basic needs like food and shelter are a concern across the globe. This issue was most common to the less fortunate, those on a fixed income or no income at all. Now no one is exempt from this issue. It has caused us all to be conscientious and aware of how we spend and buy. However, God is still in control and is not surprised by what is happening in the world.

This scripture tells us that the Lord is our supplier, provides increase and enlarges our harvest of righteousness. We must reframe from complaining about the increase of things we need like gas or food and recognize the blessing to pull up to the gas station or grocery store to get what we need despite the price increase. Also, when we see others in need or a little short, be a blessing to them through generosity.

The Kingdom of Heaven is invading strenuously, and we who are citizens of that Kingdom, must continue to trust in the Lord and tear down the fortress of the enemy. The world may be against us, but we have a greater power living on the inside of us than the power that control’s the world (1 John 4:4).

Remember: Although we face challenging times of inflation, the Lord is our source. Not our jobs, not the government, or even ourselves. The Lord is the one that supplies all our needs according to his riches and glory by Christ Jesus (Philippians 4:19).

God’s Greatest Gift by Alicia Briscoe

  For God so loved the world, that he gave his only Son, that whoever believes in him should not perish but have eternal life. John 3:16   What is the greatest gift you received from God? I’m sure you are like me; you can’t just name one because God gives the greatest gifts. From the beginning, God proved himself generous by creating us in His likeness and image along with a world of abundance. Although we may have a list of answers for this question, we all would say “The greatest gift God gave to us was Himself.” God’s example of generosity so selfless, an act in human history so important: Jesus’ died on the cross for us, what love. There is nothing in the world more important than the unity of people and God, bringing eternal abundant life and promising that we are never alone. Sometimes we do not honor God as we should, in his unbounded generosity, he gave his best and most valuable, the only thing he had only one of – his Son. Instead of abandoning us or retaliating aga

Attitude of Gratitude by Alicia Briscoe

  Give thanks in all circumstances; for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus for you.                                 1 Thessalonians 5:18 Hello November or should I say Hello “Grateful” month! Have you notice how we get in the spirit of gratitude in November? It is amazing how we attribute an attitude of gratitude to November because of Thanksgiving. Gratitude is an expression of thankfulness and praise. The Bible teaches about the power of having a grateful heart. It tells us to be thankful in all circumstances good and not so good. Also, it is a positive emotion that involves being thankful and appreciative and is associated with several mental and physical health benefits. When you experience gratitude, you feel grateful for something or someone in your life and respond with feelings of kindness, warmth, and other forms of generosity. Gratitude honors God and it is His will for us. When we have a grateful heart, it develops our character positively. It produces kindness t

Don’t Quit, Reap Your Harvest! – by Alicia Briscoe

So, let’s not get tired of doing what is good. At just the right time we will reap a harvest of blessing if we don’t give up. Galatians 6:9 The harvest has always been a beautiful and important part of life on earth, the time when the year’s work bears fruit, and the people are fed.   One of my favorite scriptures about harvest is Galatians 6:9. When I read this scripture, it gives me hope and encouragement to keep moving. Especially when you face challenging times and people. But when I meditate on this scripture, it reveals so much more. It is an opportunity to get in God’s presence to gain understanding during processing cycle.   It reveals in the practical sense that you are like a farmer that sow seeds and reaps a harvest. This concept leads to me asking questions like; “Am I sowing seeds?” “What kind of seed am I sowing?” “What kind of harvest am I expecting?”   These questions are valid because they will determine the cycle that takes place in reaping a harvest. We ca
