Work this God-given principle for your benefit!

One of the powerful laws in the scriptures is the law of sowing and reaping. According to Genesis 8:22, as long as the earth remains, seedtime and harvest will not cease! Paul spoke about sowing and reaping in 2 Corinthians 9: 6-8But this I say: He who sows sparingly will also reap sparingly, and he who sows bountifully will also reap bountifully. So let each one give as he purposes in his heart, not grudgingly or of necessity; for God loves a cheerful giver. And God is able to make all grace abound toward you, that you, always having all sufficiency in all things, may have an abundance for every good work.” Paul also said this to the church in Galacia: “Do not be deceived, God is not mocked; for whatever a man sows, that he will also reap”. This law is mentioned both in the Old and New Testaments, which means that it is an important law and principle. It’s great news for us because we can work with this law in such a way that it can allow us to reap great harvests for us, our families and communities. If I sow love, I’ll reap love. If I sow friendship, I’ll reap friends. If I sow prayer, I’ll reap answered prayers, etc. Whatever you need more of, give that abundantly to others. The problem with many is that they don’t understand this law, so they sow hate, offense, anger and other negative and evil seeds, then they expect love, friendships, honor, and respect. Remember, what you sow is what you reap. Now that you understand this law and principle, change the seeds that you have been sowing. Instead, ask God what seeds you need to sow from now on, and begin to sow those new seeds that look like the future you want to see. Watch how your life and future will begin to look more like that future that God shows you!

2 Corinthians 9: 6-8But this I say: He who sows sparingly will also reap sparingly, and he who sows bountifully will also reap bountifully. So let each one give as he purposes in his heart, not grudgingly or of necessity; for God loves a cheerful giver. And God is able to make all grace abound toward you, that you, always having all sufficiency in all things, may have an abundance for every good work.”

This is the secret to being blessed!

Psalm 94:12 (AMP) says: Blessed [with wisdom and prosperity] is the man whom You discipline and instruct, O LordAnd whom You teach from Your law.” The word blessed means: “joyful, contentment, good fortune, consecrated, to speak well of.” When God blesses us, He is lovingly sharing his grace, wisdom and favor with us. He bestows upon us an environment where others look at us and declare that we have come in to a place of good fortune. Do you want to be “blessed?” Read Psalm 94:12 again. God blesses the person who submits to His discipline and instruction. Most people reject His discipline and instruction, thus they remove themselves from the process of being blessed by God. When one enlists in the army, the first thing the drill sergeants do is re-make them by putting them in a place of discipline and instruction for several months. Most admit that this process is very difficult. But the finished picture is that they become disciplined, battle-ready soldiers! God also brings us into times of discipline and instruction, not to destroy us, but to build us up into strong and blessed believers. He teaches us His law so that we can walk wisely and confidently on this earth. And as we embrace His discipline and instruction, people will look at our lives and call us blessed! Do not be afraid to embrace His discipline and instruction. He disciplines the ones He loves.
