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.”

God is looking for bold, courageous faith!

Almighty God is a rewarder. He acknowledges and responds to faith and obedience. Hebrews 11:6 says: “But without faith it is impossible to please Him, for he who comes to God must believe that He is, and that He is a rewarder of those who diligently seek Him.” A reward is: “something that is given in return for good behavior or service; a recompense; an award.” God rewards those that diligently seek Him in many ways, not only in this lifetime, but also in eternity. Hebrews 10:35 says: “So don’t lose your bold, courageous faith, for you are destined for a great reward” Jesus taught in the parable of the talents that those who are faithful will be rewarded with greater authority, influence and joy: Matthew 25:23 ‘Well done, good and faithful servant; you have been faithful over a few things, I will make you ruler over many things. Enter into the joy of your lord.” Don’t ever let the enemy steal your faithfulness. It will be rewarded. Galations 6:9 says: “Let us not grow weary or become discouraged in doing good, for at the proper time we will reap, if we do not give in.” God is pleased with the faithful. Remember, you are destined for a great reward, so stand today with bold, courageous faith. He sees your faithfulness!
