Today’s teaching is about how to succeed in your workplace as a child of God.
Stressful toil came as part of the curse upon Adam. This was not the way before he fell.
“To Adam he said, “Because you have listened to your wife’s voice, and ate from the tree, about which I commanded you, saying, ‘You shall not eat of it,’ the ground is cursed for your sake. You will eat from it with much labor all the days of your life. It will yield thorns and thistles to you; and you will eat the herb of the field. By the sweat of your face will you eat bread until you return to the ground, for out of it you were taken. For you are dust, and to dust you shall return.”” (Genesis 3:17-19 WEB)
Before that, God had designed for Adam to sow seeds and reap abundant harvests. God gave seeds to Adam, and when Adam planted these seeds, they sprang up quickly and bore fruits.
“God said, “Behold, I have given you every herb yielding seed, which is on the surface of all the earth, and every tree, which bears fruit yielding seed. It will be your food.” (Genesis 1:29 WEB)
At that time, the whole earth had a fine mist canopy watering it. This meant that Adam didn’t even have to water the seeds. It was so restful for him.
We have to understand that we have been redeemed through Jesus’ blood. We are not meant to operate under the Adamic curse, but under the redemption we have in Christ.
If you are pushing yourself to work very hard in your job, profession, business, or ministry, in order to increase your results, this is operating by the curse: stressful toil in exchange for little fruits.
Then when your results don’t justify the hard work you’re putting in, you’ll get burnt out and angry at God, questioning why things are not moving well for you.
God has a better way for you to succeed in your workplace.
Whatever you want more of, you can sow the same thing as a seed, as unto the Lord, in order to reap it in a multiplied way.
When the little boy handed his meal of five loaves of bread and two small fishes as unto Jesus, it was multiplied to feed five thousand men (not counting the women and children), and there were twelve baskets full of food left over (John 6:8-13).
Jesus’ blood shed at the cross has made your sowing bear fruitful results. Previously before you were saved, your sowing only produced thorns and thistles. However, now that you are a child of God, you enjoy God’s favor and your sowing is powerfully effective. Sowing and reaping is a principle for the redeemed children of God.
“I thought it necessary therefore to entreat the brothers that they would go before to you, and arrange ahead of time the generous gift that you promised before, that the same might be ready as a matter of generosity, and not of greediness. Remember this: he who sows sparingly will also reap sparingly. He who sows bountifully will also reap bountifully. Let each man give according as he has determined in his heart; not grudgingly, or under compulsion; for God loves a cheerful giver. And God is able to make all grace abound to you, that you, always having all sufficiency in everything, may abound to every good work. As it is written, “He has scattered abroad, he has given to the poor. His righteousness remains forever.” Now may he who supplies seed to the sower and bread for food, supply and multiply your seed for sowing, and increase the fruits of your righteousness; you being enriched in everything to all liberality, which produces through us thanksgiving to God.” (2 Corinthians 9:5-11 WEB)
If you want to enjoy multiplied results at work, think of how you can be a blessing to others first. If you want more business deals, see how you can bless others with deals. If you want to enjoy good relationships with your boss and colleagues, see how you can be an encourager, comforter and a good friend to others. If you want to grow your network, see how you can be a person who connects others to the people they need.
Rely on the Holy Spirit to lead you how to do these, in every situation, receiving His wisdom and power to do so.
The way of Kingdom prosperity is giving. The more you give, the more it is multiplied in abundance back to you.
Thanks to Grace, we can expect to receive abundantly above all that we can think or imagine because it is by God’s generosity and not by our limited ability.
I pray that as you operate by this New Covenant principle, that you will enjoy restful increase and unceasing fruitfulness at your workplace!

How to Go from Barely Surviving, to Prospering and Thriving
“The children of Israel ate the manna forty years, until they came to an inhabited land. They ate the manna until they came to the borders of the land of Canaan.” (Exodus 16:35 WEB)
Despite all the complaining and unbelief of the children of Israel, God still rained manna out of the sky to feed them daily. They never lacked provision, and were faithfully fed every day until Joshua brought them entered the promised land.
After that, the manna ceased because God provided food for them through the fruit of the land.
Imagine if the manna only fell when the children of Israel were living by faith. They would be starving daily because they were an exceedingly unbelieving generation!
Praise God that it is by His faithfulness, not our own. He provides daily bread for us as a loving father fulfills the responsibility of feeding his family.
“Yahweh knows the days of the perfect. Their inheritance shall be forever. They shall not be disappointed in the time of evil. In the days of famine they shall be satisfied. But the wicked shall perish. The enemies of Yahweh shall be like the beauty of the fields. They will vanish— vanish like smoke. The wicked borrow, and don’t pay back, but the righteous give generously. For such as are blessed by him shall inherit the land. Those who are cursed by him shall be cut off. A man’s goings are established by Yahweh. He delights in his way. Though he stumble, he shall not fall, for Yahweh holds him up with his hand. I have been young, and now am old, yet I have not seen the righteous forsaken, nor his children begging for bread. All day long he deals graciously, and lends. His offspring is blessed. Depart from evil, and do good. Live securely forever. For Yahweh loves justice, and doesn’t forsake his saints. They are preserved forever, but the children of the wicked shall be cut off. The righteous shall inherit the land, and live in it forever.” (Psalms 37:18-29 WEB)
In his psalm, David talks about how God takes care of the saints (believers who are righteous in Christ) and feeds them even in the time of evil and in the days of famine.
There is a unique behavior of the saints described in it. They are generous givers, as if they are oblivious to the evil or famine around them. They live by faith in God and not by fear of lack. The seeds they sow in love lead to abundant harvests, such that there is no lack.
Dear brethren, God will surely feed you with daily bread. You’re still alive today because He has been faithful to feed you, and He shall continue to do so.
When God supplies you with seed for food, be wise and don’t just eat all the seeds.
People who always lack usually just spend money without giving or investing.
There is no abundant harvest to expect because there’s no seeds sown.
Even though the children of Israel were always fed by God in the wilderness, they never really prospered abundantly until they were in the promised land and began sowing.
Whenever you receive a new batch of seeds, sow a portion of them and you shall grow and grow until you become very great.
That’s how to move from barely surviving, to prospering and thriving—just like our patriarchs of faith, Abraham and Isaac, who prospered even in times of famine.
“There was a famine in the land, besides the first famine that was in the days of Abraham. Isaac went to Abimelech king of the Philistines, to Gerar...Isaac sowed in that land, and reaped in the same year one hundred times what he planted. Yahweh blessed him. The man grew great, and grew more and more until he became very great. He had possessions of flocks, possessions of herds, and a great household. The Philistines envied him.” (Genesis 26:1, 12-14 WEB)
We are living in a time of evil and the days of famine, brought about by the COVID-19 pandemic.
Let us be strengthened in faith that we will not just come out of this barely surviving, but prospering and thriving!
Our good Abba God will keep feeding us with daily bread—both spiritual and physical.
The world may have a gloomy outlook for the future, but with God we have a good future and a secure hope!
Thanks for reading this devotional! I am saving up in preparation because my wife and I are actively believing for a second child.
