What will be your recompense?

In Genesis 8:22, the scriptures reveal that as long as the earth remains, the law of seedtime and harvest will remain. In Galations 6:7, the Apostle Paul said: “Do not be deceived, God is not mocked; for whatever a man sows, that he will also reap”. Seeds bring forth according to their kind. In the same way, words and actions are seeds, and we reap according to the words that come out of our mouth, and the type of actions that we share in our lifetime. In Proverbs 12:14, the Proverbist declared: “A man will be satisfied with good by the fruit of his mouth, and the recompense of a man’s hands will be rendered to him”. The power of our words and actions are clearly revealed in the scripture. Note how he shares that a man is satisfied depending on the fruit of his mouth, and the recompense of a man’s hands. Words and actions. Both are vital. James 1:22 instructs us to be doers of the word, not just hearers. When we speak and do the word, we receive life, love, joy, confidence, fruit that abounds, divine provision,  and the like. The enemy of our souls will always challenge you when you decide to speak and do the word, but stay the course, God will strengthen you, prune you, promote you, exalt you, and establish you. Greater is He that is within you!

Proverbs 12:14 – “A man will be satisfied with good by the fruit of his mouth, and the recompense of a man’s hands will be rendered to him”

 

 

This person always has more than enough!

Proverbs 12:24 -The hand of the diligent will rule, But the lazy man will be put to forced labor.

The diligent and lazy person are polar opposites. The diligent maximize their time, their talents and abilities, and their resources to ensure that they take care of their families, businesses and ministries. They take responsibility for their lives and actions. They refuse to blame others for their mistakes. Instead, they take responsibility for their mistakes and do what is needed to correct them. The lazy person refuses to cultivate their land, so they will suffer hunger during the harvest season. The diligent will rule. They will get the promotion. They will get the prize. The lazy will end up working for the diligent. It’s up to you; will you be the diligent one, or the lazy one?

Proverbs 12: 11 – He who [c]tills his land will be satisfied with bread, but he who follows [d]frivolity is devoid of [e]understanding.
