Rest financially

 

God finished everything in 6 days.  

The seventh day was the day in which man was originally designed to live, a day with no worry, with everything man needed already in place before he needed it. He was meant to live in the finished product. 

Leviticus 25

The Lord spoke to Moses at Mount Sinai, saying,2 “Speak to the children of Israel and say to them, ‘When you come into the land which I am giving you, then the land shall keep a Sabbath to the Lord.3 For six years you shall sow your field, and for six years you shall prune your vineyard and gather in its crop.4 But in the seventh year there shall be a Sabbath of rest for the land, a Sabbath to the Lord; you shall not sow [seed in] your field nor prune your vineyard.5 Whatever reseeds itself (uncultivated) in your harvest you shall not reap, nor shall you gather the grapes from your uncultivated vine, it shall be a year of sabbatical rest for the land.6 And all of you shall have for food whatever the [untilled] land produces during its Sabbath year; yourself, and your male and female slaves, your hired servant, and the foreigners who reside among you,7 even your domestic animals and the [wild] animals that are in your land shall have all its crops to eat. 

 

There God is explaining the Year of Jubilee to the nation of Israel. To give you a bit of background, the Year of Jubilee occurred every 50 years, and it’s significant.

 

The Israelites couldn’t sow crops for that entire year. In fact, they couldn’t sow crops in the 49th year either. Get a clear picture: Israel was told they couldn’t sow crops in the 49th or 50th years. They’d have to wait until the end of the 51st year, once they planted crops, for the crops to mature to harvest. So basically, God was telling them they’d have THREE years without a harvest.

 

If I told you that you couldn’t have a paycheck for three years, how would you react?

 

In the natural, that was impossible. But God was showing them something.

 

“You may ask, ‘What will we eat in the seventh year if we do not plant or harvest our crops?’ I will send you such a blessing in the sixth year that the land will yield enough for three years. While you plant during the eighth year, you will eat from the old crop and will continue to eat from it until the harvest of the ninth year comes in.” - Leviticus 25:20-22

 

God wants to give you so much overflow financially that you can walk in your destiny and be a blessing to nations.
