I’ve been quite reflective over the past two days. Something miraculous has happened.

There has been a mega shift and I can feel it.

Right before a big breakthrough, there is a stillness and even sometimes a the opposite- a mad raging of all sorts of problems. Like a farmer, you prepare the ground well ahead of planting. Then when the time is right, you plant your seeds, diligently water them, prune them in season, fertilise them. When the floods threaten, you dig trenches to divert water and when predators appear, you build every fence and contraption necessary to keep them out. And then you wait. And wait. And wait. Until. HARVEST!

I believe 2022 is the Year of the Harvest. Actually that’s what I heard first and then, as I was creating this graphic illustration, I heard BUMPER Harvest.

Catch this if you can. It is indeed a prophetic declaration.

2022 is the year of the BUMPER Harvest.

And it didn’t just happen overnight. It has been budding in all the preparation you have made in a dead and barren land. You have indeed worked faithfully, making the desert bloom .

I first got this word in the summer of 2019. I had no idea how profound it was. I had no idea how many applications there would be to this prophetic word. I have lived to see it manifest so fully. Separation, divorce, pandemic, social distancing, near financial ruin, isolation, barren economies, wombs, schools, communities nations. Recession. Yet, many became wealth in recession. Many relationships got new life, families that were separated got reunited because parents were no longer always away for work. People intensified their faith because suddenly life and death became very real. Church became people who lived breathed and shared the Gospel in love, no longer confined to iconic structures. People who lost jobs started online businesses and became wealthy practically overnight. Businesses like mine that struggled for 10 years, finally started to bloom.

Last year, for the first time ever, I started a garden. And not just any garden. A garden in a concrete jungle on a desert island. It cannot get more barren than that.(Subscribe to my YouTube channel). I was led to do that prophetically. In fact, everything I do in my life and business is done prophetically. That’s why when I returned from Jordan in 2019 (a trip I never talk about but one day will in a book), I developed the show Thrive with Kari. The tangling: “The dessert blooms.” On that show, I was led to share a lot about entrepreneurship and keeping the faith in the hard times. My last show was in February 2021. Right before the pandemic. All preparing for making the desert bloom and a prophetic reference to Isaiah 35. But back to the garden.

I did it. I started a kitchen garden and I grew food for the first time in my life in the ground (not just the pots I had on the balcony in Dubai and Ras Al Khaimah). I grew food, taught my son how to grow food, how to prepare the soil, how to make soil even, how to literally green the desert, cook and eat from the work of your hands and the sweat of your brow. We bloomed the desert!

There is one thing that growing that garden taught me about life’s processes and this season we are in and the one we are approaching. You better catch this if you can.

The bloom is the precursor to the harvest.

Did you get that?

This is soooooooooo good!

By the way, did you know that I have been secretly working on a whole new fabric print for Chef and Steward for months and just finally launched in a few days ago? Literally on November 30, 2021. Guess what the theme the print features? BLOOMS! Again, Isaiah 35. I literally didn’t even give it much thought. The creative process wasn’t hard for me. I just flowed in the prophetic and it manifested in this, print, which celebrates both the season we are in and that which we are transferring into. So every time you wear or use the products from my line, or see them you, they are declaring a self-fulfilling prophecy.

This whole line is influenced  by my Jamaican grandmothers. Firstly, Olga, “Sis Lyn” the art and craft teacher, whose water colour, pencil drawings and acrylic defined my initiation into the world of the creative arts. And secondly, Vashtoria, “Miss Mother”, who literally mothered an entire church and village, and was the embodiment of great stewardship- growing and selling from her garden, feeding her 10 children (and all others who faithfully timed her dinner time).

In horticulture, the bloom is the the thing. The blooms are the harvest and seeds are made available that have been hardened to the exact territory that the parent plant grew in. It is a self replicating abundance of wealth we are walking into, in soul, body, spirit.

2022. The year of the BUMPER Harvest.

Isaiah 35

The Glory of Zion
1The wilderness and the land will be glad;
the desert will rejoice and blossom like a rose.
2It will bloom profusely
and rejoice with joy and singing.
The glory of Lebanon will be given to it,
the splendor of Carmel and Sharon.
They will see the glory of the LORD,
the splendor of our God.
3Strengthen the limp hands
and steady the feeble knees

4Say to those with anxious hearts:
“Be strong, do not fear!
Behold, your God will come with vengeance.
With divine retribution He will come to save you.”

5Then the eyes of the blind will be opened
and the ears of the deaf unstopped.
6Then the lame will leap like a deer
and the mute tongue will shout for joy.
For waters will gush forth in the wilderness,
and streams in the desert.
7The parched ground will become a pool,
the thirsty land springs of water.
In the haunt where jackalsb once lay,
there will be grass and reeds and papyrus.

8And there will be a highway
called the Way of Holiness.
The unclean will not travel it—
only those who walk in the Way—
and fools will not stray onto it.
9No lion will be there,
and no vicious beast will go up on it.
Such will not be found there,
but the redeemed will walk upon it.
10So the redeemed of the LORD will return
and enter Zion with singing,
crowned with everlasting joy.
Gladness and joy will overtake them,
and sorrow and sighing will flee.

Today, I launched a sale for this weekend only for 20% off the line. COUPON CODE: BLOOM. However, if you join my mailing list, I will give you future perks as well.

For 2022, I am keen on making greater impact with more people. I have served hundred in my cooking classI have served hundred in my cooking class, millions in free content online, tens in in-person mentorship and coaching and now I want to help others do the samenow I want to help others do the same. It’s time to prepare for the harvest.

Another thing I learnt from my garden is that you have to be ready to pick the crops and fruit when the harvest comes in or they will either rot in the soil or predators will have their pick. Building efficient systems allows us to do that. I’m building a community of Impactreneurs. People who want to take their gifts and make a meaningful impact on the world. And reap wealth in soul, body, spirit and pocket. Because you can give more, if you have more.

If any of this resonates with you, join my mailing list and learn more about a transformational approach I have had to business and creating online business brands with impact and profit. Ive done it one-to-one with professionals and its been AMAZING! But first, like everything I create, I prophetically did it myself. I do. Then I teach. Or teach while I do. It’s not academic. It’s prophetic. It’s the Word in action. A living breathing Word that transforms.

If you want to gather all your flowers and blooms before you die and leave a meaningful lasting legacy, this is for you. If you just want more out of life, this is for you. If you feel like you have much more to give the world but are cooking on only 2 burners when you have a 6 burner stove, this is for you.

It’s time to get ready for the harvest.

By the way, EVERYTHING about this photo and graphics is prophetic! What are you anticipating for 2022? What measures are you putting in place to be ready? You can watch Tiphani Montgomery’s prophetic word for 2022 as well. Leave your comments below.
