But what if your brokenness isn’t a sign that God is finished? What if it’s proof that He’s starting something new? God never wastes pain. He never leaves ground untouched by purpose. In His Kingdom, broken ground is fertile ground. “Break up your fallow ground, for it is time to seek the Lord, till He comes and rains righteousness on you.” – Hosea 10:12 (NKJV) Sometimes God has to break the ground to prepare it for the next season.

When Dennis O’Neil and Neal Adams introduced John Stewart in Green Lantern #87 (1971), they did more than create a backup for Hal Jordan—they broke barriers. A Black Marine Corps veteran from Detroit, John arrived during the civil-rights era, confident, brilliant, and unwilling to bow. Adams said later, “We didn’t want a stereotype; we wanted a man who could stand toe to toe with gods.

There are seasons when God doesn’t just hand you a seed — He sends you as one. He places you in families, workplaces, churches, and communities, not simply to receive a harvest, but to become one. You are the seed God plants to bring change, light, and fruit to places that have gone dry. And like any seed, you may have to endure darkness, pressure, and time before your purpose begins to grow.

The Word of God never returns void. It may be buried deep beneath disappointment or delay, but it’s alive, active, and growing — even when you can’t see it.

Spiritually, that same tension exists in our lives. We sow faithfully, pray persistently, and believe wholeheartedly, yet sometimes it feels like nothing’s happening. The ground looks undisturbed. The air feels quiet. The waiting feels endless. And that’s where most people give up — right before the bloom.

Too often, we think of generosity as something we do when we have “extra.” Extra money, extra time, extra energy. But here’s what I’ve learned: generosity is not about what you have. It’s about your heart. It’s about recognizing that God owns it all anyway — and when you live open-handed, He pours out blessings you never expected.

The tears you shed in your hardest seasons water the seeds you plant in faith. Crisis is not a signal to stop sowing — it is the very soil where breakthrough takes root.

But the Kingdom of God operates on a different economy. In God’s hands, the smallest seed carries supernatural potential. What looks too small to matter can grow into something mighty when surrendered to Him.

You plant one seed, and with time, care, and God’s provision, that seed grows into a harvest greater than what was placed in the ground. That’s the ordinary rhythm of Kingdom living. But there are times when God disrupts the ordinary. There are moments when His favor multiplies not just in addition but in abundance — where you don’t just reap what you sow, you reap in double measure. This is the double portion harvest: not only restoration of what was lost, but overflow beyo

true peace, God’s peace, isn’t found when everything is calm around you. It’s found when everything is chaotic and yet your spirit remains steady. That’s the favor of peace in the midst. When you are surrounded by storms but not shaken by them, when you are under pressure but not crushed, when you can sleep, sing, and smile in situations that should have broken you — that’s not natural. That’s supernatural favor.

We live in a world that measures success by visible results—numbers, likes, money, applause. But Heaven doesn’t operate that way. Every prayer whispered, every act of kindness, every tear shed in intercession, every step of obedience—it all counts.
