    About this ebook

    Be like the farmers and sow for a change in your life circumstances. In due
    season you will reap your harvest, its time to grow in GRACE, you have
    been in kindergarten for too many years. God has blessed you to care for
    children but yet you are still acting as a child when it comes to honoring GOD.
    Grow up and honor GOD!
    Give and it shall be given unto you, good measure press down, shaken together
    and running over. Stop! Stop looking at your pastor as getting your money its
    a seed that you sow to honor GOD. It didnt matter much where you sow your
    money when you didnt know any better. Youve tried everything and anything
    that came with a convincing line telling you to sow your money into this are that
    and you will win more. The instruction didnt come with a defi nite fact that you
    are going to win; it guarantees a chance. Thats man traditional way of sowing
    and believing.
    Gods way for sowing is throughout the Bible. GODs promises are: Trust in the
    Lord with all your heart and lean not on your understanding, God will direct
    your path. With a path like this any person seeking for new direction cant go
    wrong, with trusting GOD.
    Get the rope from around your neck; during slavery days, people didnt have a
    choice when the rope was place around their neck. They were tied down like
    cattle, bound and sail to sea, for some; they hung from a tree. Today, you have
    a choice.
    Farmers believe in the process of a seed sown. A farmer can have only one seed;
    plant the seed and simultaneously have faith that the one seed will reproduce after
    its own kind. We should have faith like a farmer. If we can just believe that seeds
    reproduce after its own kind, and believe as the farmer believes; our circumstances
    will change while going through the process.
    Are you planting seeds?

      Appreciation

      To my husband, Kevin, my children, Jessica Rachel, Isaiah Christopher and Matthew Andre’ thank you for being patient.

      In loving memories of my grandmother Viola Osborne Brown, I appreciate the foundation; I will never forget the discipline of teaching that God comes first and everything else falls in line when doing the will of God. My heart carries the Love that was instilled daily.

      My Mother Eunice, I LOVE YOU! I can’t begin to imagine where I would be had it not been for your consistent prayers. The word of God was like the minute hand on the clock in my house.

      To my Aunt Odessa, you always had dreams that would come to pass and a word from the Lord that went toward that dream, which made all the difference to me, I LOVE YOU!

      Christian Family, no matter what we go through we will always be a family who loves God and understands that obedience, is better than sacrifice.

      To you, the reader, thank you for taking the time out of your busy schedule to read what has been instilled in me to share with you. You have to make a decision and say: There’s no turning back! The new you’ should be saying, I’m going all the way to the finish line!" If you live from the inside out, everything else will line up with God’s will for your life. I pray these words will encourage you to become a better you, sower and tither. Have Faith in God. It’s time for change. Thank You.

      Introduction

      What is stopping your inheritance? Why not try another way if all else has failed. Don’t give up change will come. Challenges and circumstances shows up to test the inner ability of your faith in what you believe for. At a point in our lives we have a blind side that we don’t want to see and it is called CHANGE!

      I’m from Louisiana Home of the New Orleans Saints and New Orleans Pelicans. My extra-curricular activity is walking in Jackson Square which is Downtown New Orleans there always some sort of entertainment in the square, musicians young and old, still life statues and crafty robotic human beings, acrobatic dancers that are crowd pleaser. Artist’s that draws and paints, and the New Orleans Brass Band. Never dull moments in the Square always have great entertaining.

      I was told a story of a young girl that stood before a group of people with her violin. There came, from that instrument, such beautiful music that it left the crowd of people weeping. I was told that the next day as she was walking down the street in Jackson Square near the Cabildo she walked pass an old man that had a sign that says I’m blind playing my violin is my way for making earnest money. The old blind man had a battered old violin and a ragged bow rasping out some old, jazzy tune. She stood there listening to the abuse and misuse of that violin. Someone passed by and drop a coin in his rusty old tin pail by his side. She looked at him for just a little while longer. Then she stooped down and said, Sir, will you let me see your violin? She took the old violin out of his hands wipe it off and held it to her chin. She began to turn the keys on the violin until the strings whined into a tune. She then reached down for the ragged old bow, picked it up and played beautiful music on the old violin. With the very same instrument people began to crowd the area and listen to the beautiful music. Again people were drawn to the beauty from the sound of the violin. The old man’s rusty old tin pail began to run over with money he didn’t hear much coins falling in. The old violin and ragged bow was in the hands of a master violinist which made all the difference.

      Can you imagine being blind and sitting, waiting for a miracle to come your way after hearing coins falling into your pail day after day? Will you dare to put your Faith in the hands of the master? God doesn’t ask for much only ten percent of all your earnest money. The old man didn’t ask for the young girl’s help at all, it was divine favor. The old man had faith and believing for a change in his circumstance and the favor of God met him in Jackson Square. The young girl made a decision to adhere to the voice of the Lord. I’m sure she could have come up with an excuse not to tune up the old man’s violin. She could have listened to her inner conscience that was probably telling her, Don’t touch that ragged old violin. He doesn’t need your help or she could have heard the voice saying, He has been doing this for years.

      Who knows better than inner self what the inner being is saying? It surely does have its way of choking our Blessing out of us! We have to commit to being obedient to the voice of the Lord. You may be thinking to yourself, How will I know when I’m hearing the voice of the Lord? Well, you will know the difference. The voice of the Lord is going to correct you before you get ready to do something that is not pleasing. After all we are taught right from wrong as a child. One may call this my conscience or you may say something told me! The Lord has a voice.

      For he is our God; and we are the people of his pasture, and the sheep of his hand. Today if ye will hear his voice, Psalm 95:7

      You must always remember that God has a Blessing with your name on it.

      Today, people are still being robbed of their inheritance simply because they don’t know how to tap into what is promised to them. Some just don’t want to listen to a pastor that has something to say about being obedient to the laws that we must govern as Believers of God’s word in the Bible. Giving tithes and sowing seed is not just to benefit the pastor nor should you look at it as making him rich! What is important to understand is that before you release your seed you should pray and seek God for the amount of seed to sow which is called preparation.

      Preparation is defined

      1. The action of making ready or being made ready for use.

      2. Something done to get ready for an event or undertaking.

      Farmers prepare the day before or hours before they go out and sow seeds in the ground. Honor God with a seed and sow. So that you will continue to be blessed. Let God deal with the pastor if he is not being obedient to what God is directing him or her to do with the seed that he receives from the members. When you release the seed back to God, the pastor better know how to honor it and give it back to God, and in return, you will see your blessings manifested. Look! The Law of GIVING didn’t just start once you have become a new member of a church. It’s been going on since the days of Adam, we just weren’t taught the whole truth. Farmers are not the only skilled and talented laborers when it comes to sowing seeds. When dealing with life situations and circumstances you will find that there are two kinds of harvest: one spiritual and the other is natural, all designed by God. Let’s talk about natural farming. A farmer sows seeds in the ground to reproduce after it was planted. This falls under after its own kind. Some farmers prepare the ground using all kind of extra materials, such as Miracle Gro, Fish emulsion Rooting Hormone or Perlite. They also label the area or the seed sown knowing exactly where to expect the harvest which was planted. When a farmer sows a seed, they know exactly what type of harvest to expect in a particular area. All of the patterns in life, whether natural or spiritual, come with instructions which we must abide by accordingly. In some cases, we don’t get a handbook or manual. In some cases, we don’t look at things using our spiritual insight, which for some, causes a disaster. If you
