“While
the earth remaineth, seedtime and harvest, and cold and heat, and summer and winter,
and day and night shall not cease"(KJV Gen 8:22). God’s kingdom is ruled
by principles such sowing and reaping. Like gravity, this principles cannot be
violated. If we try to get results with God and work against or outside of his
principles we will be unsuccessful and get frustrated; we tie God’s hands.
Examine
your life today. If you are fighting God in an area of your life or operating
outside of his will, direction or kingdom principles, life will be hard and
things will not go well. Humble yourself, repent and hear from God; walk in his
love and obedience and see things turn around for you. Ananias and Sapphira
tried to do it their way, thinking God would not see and this resulted in the
death of them both (Acts 5:1-11). Israel withheld their giving to God and tied
God’s hands in terms of blessing and protection (Mal chapter 3). God promised a
blessing they could not contain if they just obeyed his principle of sowing and
reaping.
This
principle applies to every are of our lives; if we abuse our bodies do we
expect health? If we refuse to forgive, God cannot forgive us (Mark 11:25-26.
In Matthew 7:2 it says that with the measure we use it will be measured back to
us.
Let
me leave you with Galatians 6:7-10: “Be not deceived; God is not mocked: for
whatsoever a man soweth, that shall he also reap. For he who soweth to his
flesh shall of the flesh reap corruption; but he that soweth to the Spirit shall
of the Spirit reap life everlasting. And let us not be weary in well doing: for
in due season we shall reap, if we faint not. As we have therefore opportunity,
let us do good unto all men, especially unto them who are of the household of
faith".
Wow,
that says it all! Let’s get sowing today using Gods seed.
