Don’t Forfeit your Harvest
“The farmer sows the word. The ones by the road are the ones where the word is sown; and when they have heard, immediately Satan comes, and takes away the word which has been sown in them. These in the same way are those who are sown on the rocky places, who, when they have heard the word, immediately receive it with joy. They have no root in themselves, but are short-lived. When oppression or persecution arises because of the word, immediately they stumble. Others are those who are sown among the thorns. These are those who have heard the word, and the cares of this age, and the deceitfulness of riches, and the lusts of other things entering in choke the word, and it becomes unfruitful. Those which were sown on the good ground are those who hear the word, and accept it, and bear fruit, some thirty times, some sixty times, and some one hundred times.”” (Mark 4:14-20 WEB)
No matter what tactics the enemy uses, his goal is the same: to prevent God’s word from producing a good harvest in your life.
When he snatches it away quickly, it could be as simple as when you are not paying attention during a sermon because of using your smartphone to scroll through social media. As a result, you did not even hear most of what the preacher was saying.
If that does not work, Satan can choose the forceful method or the soft method. He either comes like a roaring lion or a fowler.
The lion method would be to intimidate you into giving up on God’s promises. For example, you might have started trusting God for a breakthrough in your finances, but the enemy deliberately sends many unforeseen bills your way. Appliances at home start breaking down, and freak injuries or illnesses happen, leading to expensive medical bills. These are some ways Satan roars so that you lose trust in God for provision.
On the other hand, the fowler method would be to set traps to lure you into worldly things. He wants you obsessed and distracted with the lust of the eyes, the lust of the flesh, and the pride of life. This way, you will lose focus on God’s word and the seed that stops being watered in your heart will not produce a harvest.
For example, he may get you obsessed with politics, entertainment, earning money, lewdness, so that your mind is never on God’s word. If you keep leaving a plant unattended and in dry weather, it will wither away.
Only Christians who patiently persevere through all these dirty tactics of the enemy will experience a good harvest from having faith in God’s word.
Obviously the enemy knows the power of God’s word and that is why he tries his best to stop you from having faith in it.
The devil knows that once God’s word produces harvests in your life, he will have to relinquish any hold he had in that area. Try as he might, he is defenseless against God’s power.
Hearing God’s word, believing it, and speaking it over yourself may seem like such over-preached truths, but that is because God’s way for us is just that simple. Jesus completed all the hard work at the cross, and now we get to restfully reap the benefits of what He did for us.
It is easy to say, “I know this already,” but the question is: are you really doing it consistently? Ask yourself this and if this message stirs up your faith to get back on the right track of voraciously hearing and hearing God’s word, then its purpose is done!

God’s Books of Memory
“Then those who feared Yahweh spoke one with another; and Yahweh listened, and heard, and a book of memory was written before him, for those who feared Yahweh, and who honored his name. They shall be mine,” says Yahweh of Armies, “my own possession in the day that I make, and I will spare them, as a man spares his own son who serves him. Then you shall return and discern between the righteous and the wicked, between him who serves God and him who doesn’t serve him.” (Malachi 3:16-18 WEB)
Everything you do in faith is being recorded in Heaven. Even if man does not appreciate the praiseworthy things you do, God has a perfect record of your good works.
“Let us not be weary in doing good, for we will reap in due season, if we don’t give up. So then, as we have opportunity, let’s do what is good toward all men, and especially toward those who are of the household of the faith.” (Galatians 6:9-10 WEB)
You will surely reap a harvest of rewards by continuing to do good. Keep persevering in it, even if people hurt you, biting the hand that feeds. Remember, you are not doing it to impress people, or to get their appreciation—you are doing it as worship unto the Lord, and He is your Rewarder.
Good works are not for determining whether you are saved or not. You are saved by Grace through faith in Jesus. It is the blood He shed that made payment for your forgiveness of sins.
A born-again believer is already a full-fledged child of God—a new creation in Christ who has passed out of death into eternal life. He cannot be condemned to Hell after being saved. His reborn spirit remains permanently righteous.
Salvation is based on what Christ has done, but rewards are based on what you have done.
““Behold, I come quickly. My reward is with me, to repay to each man according to his work.” (Revelation 22:12 WEB)
For a born-again believer, there are no punishments or condemnation to receive at the judgment seat of Christ—at the cross, Jesus already took all the punishment for your sins.
All that is left is to measure and distribute your rewards.
The records in the Books of Memory/Remembrance shall be used to determine your rewards when you stand before Jesus’ throne for judgment.
Some things you do can cause the loss of rewards.
“I am coming quickly! Hold firmly that which you have, so that no one takes your crown.” (Revelation 3:11 WEB)
The church of Philadelphia was under persecution by Judaizer Jews who wanted them to deny the name of Jesus.
For those who renounce their faith, they will not lose their salvation, but they will not receive a crown.
“Let not many of you be teachers, my brothers, knowing that we will receive heavier judgment.” (James 3:1 WEB)
For those who claim to be teachers of the Gospel, if they teach falsities and heresies, causing believers to be stumbled and led astray, they will lose rewards.
Teachers have more revelation about the truths in God’s word, so when they knowingly teach or practice falsehoods, they will be held more accountable for their actions and lose out on rewards.
They cannot claim to be ignorant like many believers actually are.
How then can a believer maximize their rewards and ensure that time spent in this mortal lifetime will be truly worthwhile?

Nowadays technology is destroying our focus… (and results!)
.
News are posted on the internet every minute.
.
People are messaging and calling you every hour.
.
Your friends sending you game invites and tagging you in crazy stuff.
.
You know what I mean?
.
The problem is, when we take our focus off our current task to do something else, it takes time to get focused again.
.
And that’s why most people are struggling to get things done.
.
But there’s a secret that’s guaranteed to double - if not triple - your focus…
.
And that is by turning your mobile notifications off or put it away during work.
.
Seems to simple to be a life-changing secret, right?
.
But it works like magic!
.
And here’s the kicker…
.
Most people won’t even notice it anyway!
.
So test it out for the next 7 days, then come back to this post and let me know how it works for you.
.
Are you committed to staying focused on your mission? Put "I'm Focused!" in the comments below.

Connected, yet disconnected. Ego, power, money. Look at what we have done, look at how we are treating each other. There must be something bigger than that, something bigger than us. Hope, trust, faith. I don’t know when we will get there, but I know that one day, we all will. - Al Rocco

While our World fights bravely against the unknown, it’s clear to see that no matter the differences we have between our people and cultures, we are all in this together. This epidemic sees no color, respects no class or age, and recognizes only the best values of life. Victory only blesses the united, and now more so than ever, we must focus all our efforts, skills and resources to work with one another. Yet to see some parts of our world with selfish intents and bias agendas, we must #MaskUp and detach from all the bullshit. Together, we can focus on rebuilding towards a brighter united World.
当全世界正勇敢地与未知作斗争时,我们能清楚地看到,无论我们的民族和文化差异有多大,我们都是捆绑在一起的。流行病并不分肤色,不分阶级和年龄,只强调生命的价值。团结就是胜利,现在比以往任何时候都更重要!我们必须集中所有的努力、技术和资源来互相合作。然而这世上还存在着许多自私和偏见。我们必须要 #戴上口罩,远离所有那些乱七八糟的事。站在一起,我们可以致力于重建一个更加光明和团结的世界。

ALL ON ME
First Verse: Al Rocco
I started from the bottom
And I’m climbing to the top
Red money yeh I got them
And they telling me to stop
But i cant stop and i won’t stop i won't
On that jack ma getting paper but you know
And we working and we working and we working now
And we murking and we murking and we get it down
Cause everything i do i do for family
And I ain't got the time to waste my energy
And I gotta do it for my legacy
Ain't nobody gonna do it now its all on me
It's all on me it's all on me
Hundred million dollars like this melody
To be the only legendary UNI-C
Ain't no body gonna do it next it's all on me
Chorus: Al Rocco
It's all on me
It's all on me
It's all on me
To be the only legendary uni-c
It's all on me
It's all on me
It's all on me
Ain't no body gonna do it next it's all on me
Second Verse: Blow Fever
Fever Fever
我一直相信努力相信自己
做事高调做人lowkey
爱慕虚荣全都抛弃
再一步就能到目的
几乎每天工作直到late night
从来没有忘记追求best life
迷了路 回头看你pass life
要经历风雨的成功才叫class right?
有时候漫天雾霾不见flashing light
生活陷入灰色很难分清黑与白
是否付出的努力都能得到回报?
STOP!只有坚持信念才能get it right
走自己选的路让他们说命运有安排
更多压力能量就更多苦尽会甘来
一百分的拼 unicorn是目标
时间就是money remember what ur dream is
Let's do it
Chorus: Al Rocco
It's all on me
It's all on me
It's all on me
To be the only legendary uni-c
It's all on me
It's all on me
It's all on me
Ain't no body gonna do it next it's all on me
Bridge: Al Rocco
You talking about it I’m walking about it
You talk about nothing I’m keeping it 100
And now they know that i came and i done it
And now they be wondering how i could do it
You talking about it I’m walking about it
You talk about nothing I’m keeping it 100
And now they know that i came and i done it
And now they be wondering how i could do it
Chorus: Al Rocco
It's all on me
It's all on me
It's all on me
To be the only legendary uni-c
It's all on me
It's all on me
It's all on me
Ain't no body gonna do it next it's all on me
