Message Title: Reap What You Sow
Scriptures: Gal.6:7-8; Jeremiah 17:10; Philp.12:2
Gal 6:7-8
7 Do not be deceived, God is not mocked; for whatever
a man sows, that he will also reap. 8 For he who sows to
his flesh will of the flesh reap corruption, but he who sows to the Spirit will
of the Spirit reap everlasting life.
I want to talk with you
today about reaping and sowing. Have you ever notice no matter what you plant,
you always get more back than the original amount you planted. Considering
everything goes well. If you plant one apple seed you expect an apple tree in
which you would expect that tree to produce more than the one apple you started
off with. It’s how God intended it to be. This is also true not just in
planting but in life.
If you are kind you can
expect kindness to return to you in a greater amount then you originally gave.
You may not receive it from the person you showed it to or in the way you
thought it was going to come back to you, but you will receive it with
interest. That goes for all aspects of life, including the ones we may not want
to receive back.
You cannot be cruel to
anyone and not expect a return. You cannot be unforgiving and not expect that
in return. A lot times I hear people say why me? I never did that to anyone and
maybe their right but they are not just getting what they did to someone or how
they acted to someone returned to them they are getting what they sowed in a
multiplied sate. Just like the apple tree we mentioned earlier.
God knows your heart and
will give unto accordingly.
Jeremiah 17:10
I, the Lord, search the heart,
I test the mind,
Even to give every man according to his ways,
According to the fruit of his doings.
I test the mind,
Even to give every man according to his ways,
According to the fruit of his doings.
This is extremely important to us. We
want God to give to us good things, therefore our heart and mind when searched
must be in God and after his heart and mind.
This is why the Bible says in Philp 2:12
12 Therefore,
my beloved, as you have always obeyed, not as in my presence only, but now much
more in my absence, work out your own salvation with fear and trembling;
We
will be repaid in whatever we do, good or bad with a big fat heaping hand back.
Go out today and sow what you want to reap back.
