ToggleRCCG Open Heaven 1 September 2026 Daily Devotional by Pastor E.A. Adeboye – THE LAW OF HARVEST
Topic: THE LAW OF HARVEST

Memorise:
While the earth remaineth, seedtime and harvest, and cold and heat, and summer and winter, and day and night shall not cease.
— Genesis 8:22 (KJV)
Read: 1 Corinthians 15:37-44 (KJV)
37 And that which thou sowest, thou sowest not that body that shall be, but bare grain, it may chance of wheat, or of some other grain:
38 But God giveth it a body as it hath pleased him, and to every seed his own body.
39 All flesh is not the same flesh: but there is one kind of flesh of men, another flesh of beasts, another of fishes, and another of birds.
40 There are also celestial bodies, and bodies terrestrial: but the glory of the celestial is one, and the glory of the terrestrial is another.
41 There is one glory of the sun, and another glory of the moon, and another glory of the stars: for one star differeth from another star in glory.
42 So also is the resurrection of the dead. It is sown in corruption; it is raised in incorruption:
43 It is sown in dishonour; it is raised in glory: it is sown in weakness; it is raised in power:
44 It is sown a natural body; it is raised a spiritual body. There is a natural body, and there is a spiritual body.
RCCG Open Heaven 1 September 2026 Today Message by Pastor E.A. Adeboye
The law of harvest is one of the most powerful laws created by God. It states that ‘whatever a person sows is what he or she will reap’ (Galatians 6:7), and it is so powerful that God applied it to Himself when He wanted more children. John 12:24 says a corn of wheat must first be sown into the ground and die before it can bring forth much fruit. So God sowed His only begotten son (Jesus Christ), so that He might gain many more children, and Jesus would become the firstborn among many brethren (Romans 8:29).
Many years ago, there was a man in Nigeria who would hand out cash to people randomly wherever he went. People followed him everywhere he went because they knew that he would give them money. Some people wondered if he was mad, but he wasn’t; he only discovered that the more he gave out money, the more he received. Anyone who truly discovers the secret of the law of harvest would never be begged to give.
The law of harvest is so powerful that when a person sows a seed of kindness or wickedness, the fellow will harvest what he or she has sown in bountiful folds. Nobody sows a grain of corn and harvests a grain; if you sow a grain of corn, the least harvest you can expect is a cob of corn with many grains. Job 4:8 says “…they that plow iniquity, and sow wickedness, reap the same.” People who spend their time scheming to harm others will eventually fall into the traps they created. Likewise, if you sow kindness, you will reap an abundance of kindness. Hosea 10:12 says that when people sow in righteousness, they will reap in mercy.
Beloved, one thing you must constantly sow as a believer is good works. Dorcas could never have known that the harvest of her good works towards the widows in her community would come in the form of her being resurrected from the dead (Acts 9:36-42) – that is another mystery about the law of harvest. Today’s Bible reading tells us that whatever is sown often returns in another form because God gives the seed a body as He pleases. Dorcas’ seed of kindness returned in a bigger, better form as God’s gift of resurrection. Keep sowing good works, and watch God repay you in ways beyond your wildest imagination.
Key Point:
You will reap what you sow; therefore, sow good works everywhere you go.
Bible in One Year:
Ezekiel 25-27
Hymn 53: ‘Tis So Sweet to Trust in Jesus
Verse 1:
‘Tis so sweet to trust in Jesus,
Just to take Him at His word;
Just to rest upon His promise,
Just to know, “Thus saith the Lord.”
Chorus:
Jesus, Jesus, how I trust Him!
How I’ve proved Him o’er and o’er;
Jesus, Jesus, precious Jesus!
O for grace to trust Him more!
Verse 2:
O how sweet to trust in Jesus,
Just to trust His cleansing blood;
Just in simple faith to plunge me
‘Neath the healing, cleansing flood.
(Chorus)
Verse 3:
Yes, ’tis sweet to trust in Jesus,
Just from sin and self to cease;
Just from Jesus simply taking
Life and rest, and joy and peace.
(Chorus)
Verse 4:
I’m so glad I learned to trust Thee,
Precious Jesus, Savior, Friend;
And I know that Thou art with me,
Wilt be with me to the end.
(Chorus)
Open Heaven Devotional 1 September 2026 Commentary
Theme: The Burden Bearer teaches the law of harvest: you will reap what you sow. Your harvest is always greater than your seed, and it may return in a form you do not expect. Keep sowing good works.
Major Keywords: Law of harvest, sowing and reaping, seedtime and harvest, Dorcas, kindness, supernatural harvest.
Commentary Summary:
-
The Law is Unshakable: Genesis 8:22 declares that seedtime and harvest will never cease. This is not just for farming—it is a spiritual law affecting every area of life. Even God applied it when He sowed Jesus to bring forth many children.
-
Harvest is Always Greater: No one sows one grain and reaps one grain. You reap a cob with many grains. Kindness returns in abundance; wickedness returns the same.
-
Harvest May Come in Another Form: 1 Corinthians 15:37-44 reveals that the seed is not the same as the harvest. Dorcas sowed kindness in making clothes for widows; her harvest came as resurrection from the dead. God can transform your seed into something greater.
-
Key Truth: The more you sow, the greater the harvest. Sow good works everywhere. Do not grow weary. Your harvest will come—and it will be beyond your imagination.
Reference to Theme: This message, THE LAW OF HARVEST, introduces the month by establishing the foundational principle of seedtime and harvest. What you sow determines what you reap. Sow righteousness, kindness, and good works, and God will reward you abundantly.
Action Steps:
-
Identify Your Seeds: Look at your life today. What have you been sowing? If you don’t like the harvest you see, change the seeds you are planting.
-
Sow Purposefully: Find a need today—financial, emotional, or spiritual—and meet it. Do not wait to be begged.
-
Study the Word: Read 1 Corinthians 15:37-44 to understand how God transforms small, natural seeds into glorious harvests.
