Cultivation 101

CULTIVATION 101

Good day everyone. Its the middle of the week already! How far? Hope things are shaping up well and falling into place according to plan? I was thinking of what to write this morning and sowing and reaping came to mind. I am sure you have heard it over and over that whatever you sow you will reap.

However, there are times that what you do not sow tends to grow on your soil or portion of land...that is what is called WEED. In agriculture science in those days, my teacher taught us that weed is an unwanted plant growing among planted crops. It contends with planted crops for nutrients and water. Well, it is the same thing in relationships. You have to consciously cultivate your relationship not only to make your seed grow but also to prevent unwanted crop that is, weed from going there. You need to constantly and consciously your relationship of  strife, dishonesty, infidelity, selfishness and abuse.

In cultivating your land, you have to ensure the right implements are used, if your cutlass or hoe does not function, it will take a longer time to get things done. However, if you are into mechanized farming, you use tractor and other mechanical instruments on your farm, your harvest is bound to be plentiful all things being equal. You know the physical mimics the spiritual. When you consciously invest in your home; love, prayer, time, respect, discipline, selflessness and attention you will reap a blissful home.

How do I cultivate my relationship?

**Add the fertilizer of COURTESY; please and thank you
**APPRECIATION; thank your spouse for fulfilling their role in the relationship, thank your wife for cooking and taking care of the children, thank your husband for your home, for paying rent and fuelling the car as well as upkeep. **GIVING:give impromptu gifts, big or small, doing thoughtful things around the house.
**Do not take the other party for granted; when you neglect your land, weed will grow.
**COMUNICATE,COMMUNICATE and COMMUNICATE about everything. Do not assume.
If you have neglected any of these things start over again, if you have never attempted, try. It may not yield the result you want immediately but with time there will be a positive change. What were those things you used to do when you were newly married? Kissing, dancing, holding hands and the good big word SEX. It is time to get back to doing those things. You will be amazed how beautiful your garden will become when you make effort to cultivate it.

Hosea 10:12 KJV

"Sow to yourselves in righteousness, reap in mercy; break up your fallow ground; for it is time to seek the Lord, till He comes and rain righteousness upon you".

May your harvest of love, peace and joy be bountiful in Jesus name.
