Galatians 6:6-10 KJV

6 Let him that is taught in the word communicate unto him that teacheth in all good things.  7 Be not deceived; God is not mocked: for whatsoever a man soweth, that shall he also reap.  8 For he that soweth to his flesh shall of the flesh reap corruption; but he that soweth to the Spirit shall of the Spirit reap life everlasting.  9 And let us not be weary in well doing: for in due season we shall reap, if we faint not.  10 As we have therefore opportunity, let us do good unto all men, especially unto them who are of the household of faith.

 

Romans 7:18-23 KJV

18 For I know that in me (that is, in my flesh,) dwelleth no good thing: for to will is present with me; but how to perform that which is good I find not.  19 For the good that I would I do not: but the evil which I would not, that I do. 20 Now if I do that I would not, it is no more I that do it, but sin that dwelleth in me.  

21 I find then a law, that, when I would do good, evil is present with me.  22 For I delight in the law of God after the inward man:  23 But I see another law in my members, warring against the law of my mind, and bringing me into captivity to the law of sin which is in my members.”  

 

“I find then a law…that when I jump off a roof I hit the ground.”

 

There are LAWS or PRINCIPLES that govern ourexistence !

 

Psalms 19:12-14 TLB

12 But how can I ever know what sins are lurking in my heart? Cleanse me from these hidden faults. 13 And keep me from deliberate wrongs; help me to stop doing them. Only then can I be free of guilt and innocent of some great crime. 14 May my spoken words and unspoken thoughts be pleasing even to you, O Lord my Rock and my Redeemer.

 

REAPING from SOWING is a LAW that we need to SOW TO.

 

We are experiencing today mostly from we sowed yesterday.  

             

Galatians 6:7 AMPL  

7 Do not be deceived and deluded and misled; God will not allow Himself to be sneered at scorned, disdained, or mocked by mere pretensions (posturing, airs, self-importance) or professions (occupation), or by His precepts (principle, teaching) being set aside.  He inevitably deludes himself who attempts to delude God.  For whatever a man sows, that and that only is what he will reap.

 

Galatians 6:7 NLT  

7 Don’t be misled. Remember that you can’t ignore God and get away with it. You will always reap what you sow!

 

Whatever you desire in your life get hold of this principle and sow to it.

 

Genesis 8:22 KJV

22 While the earth remaineth, seedtime and harvest, and cold and heat, and summer and winter, and day and night shall not cease.

 

These are constants for as long as the earth exists.

 

1. Not every EXPERIENCE in our life is because of what we personally sowed to.

2. We need to learn how to sow better

3. How to experience crop failure.  

 

Law of Seedtime and Harvest:

 

Genesis 1:11 KJV

11 And God said, Let the earth bring forth grass, the herb yielding seed, and the fruit tree yielding fruit after his kind,whose seed is in itself, upon the earth: and it was so.

 

The tree was ‘IN’ the fruit but the seed had to be replantedto bring forth more fruit.  

 

If you ‘EAT’ all your seed rather than plant it then the harvest is stopped.

So much of what is happening in our lives is not the devil but a RESULT OF THE SEED WE’VE BEEN SOWING!

Sow GOOD SEED so that we can get a GOOD HARVEST.

 

It works FOR us or AGAINST us and it WORKS FOR ALL OF US not matter who or what we are.

I can sow GOOD seed and enjoy DIFFERENT relationships tomorrow.

 

Psalms 126:5-6 KJV

5 They that sow in tears shall reap in joy.  6 He that goeth forth and weepeth, bearing precious seed, shall doubtless come again with rejoicing, bringing his sheaves with him.”  

 

God has given you precious seed!  

 

I would rather EXPERIENCE the PAIN OF SOWINGwith sowing in hardship and pain than to EXPERIENCE the PAIN OF REGRET.  

 

We have to SOW TO THE THINGS WE WANT!  

 

We have SOMETHING TO SAY about OUR TOMORROW.

 

1 Peter 3:8-11 KJV

8 Finally, be ye all of one mind, having compassion one of another, love as brethren, be pitiful, be courteous:  9 Not rendering evil for evil, or railing for railing: but contrariwise blessing; knowing that ye are thereunto called, that ye should inherit a blessing.  10 For he that will love life, and see good days, let him refrain his tongue from evil, and his lips that they speak no guile:  11 Let him eschew evil, and do good; let him seek peace, and ensue it.”  KJV

 

Deuteronomy 30:19-20 KJV  

19 I call heaven and earth to record this day against you, that I have set before you life and death, blessing and cursing: therefore choose life, that both thou and thy seed may live:

 

Isaiah 38:1-5 KJV

1 In those days was Hezekiah sick unto death. And Isaiahthe prophet the son of Amoz came unto him, and said unto him, Thus saith the LORD, Set thine house in order: for thou shalt die, and not live.  2 Then Hezekiah turned his face toward the wall, and prayed unto the LORD,  3 And said, Remember now, O LORD, I beseech thee, how I have walked before thee in truth and with a perfect heart, and have done that which is good in thy sight. And Hezekiah wept sore.  4 Then came the word of the LORD to Isaiah, saying,  5 Go, and say to Hezekiah, Thus saith the LORD, the God of David thy father, I have heard thy prayer, I have seen thy tears: behold, I will add unto thy days fifteen years.”  KJV

 

YOU can SEEK THE LORD AND IMPART GOD’S WORD INTO YOUR CHILDREN.

 

Let’s do it and reap a harvest.
