Sowing and Reaping : Part 3

God installed the principle of sowing and reaping right when He created the universe. He commanded the land to produce plants and trees that bore fruits with seeds in it according to their specific kinds. Each tree/plant has seed in it and each seed has its own written codes, though these codes are invisible to the naked eye. 

Genesis 8:22 “As long as the earth endures, seedtime and harvest, cold and heat, summer and winter, day and night will never cease.”
God has created different seasons, climates, day and night for the purpose of sowing and reaping.

Ecclesiastes 3:2 a time to be born and a time to die, a time to plant and a time to uproot

Acts 17:26 From one man he made all the nations, that they should inhabit the whole earth; and he marked out their appointed times in history and the boundaries of their lands.
The disparate ethnic groups we see today came forth from one man. 

Psalm 126:5,6 Those who sow with tears will reap with songs of joy. Those who go out weeping, carrying seed to sow, will return with songs of joy, carrying sheaves with them.
Sowing may be a time of distress, but we need to sow somehow because sowing is our future. Without sowing, neither this Earth nor a person/ family has a future. The written code inside each seed is the promise to us. Here’s the principle: plant one seed today and you’ll get hundreds of seeds in the days to come. A wheat kernel that is sown gives an amazing produce of about 2800 wheat kernels. 

Luke 6:31 Do to others as you would have them do to you.
This is known as the golden principle which Jesus gave and it basically contains the sowing principle. We must know if we do something for others, one day we will reap its return. 
My primary school teacher who loved gardening once  advised me  that if we give or share a plant with others, one day if we lose it, we can get one back from them. And then he shared this verse from the Bible which is the golden principle: Do to others as you would have them do to you.

I remember dedicating a decade of my life, time and talents to help the man of God under whom I was trained and grew in the Lord - I’d help him to buy the necessities from home, drop his kids to school and pick them, carry his bag, do the maintenance and electrical works at home. While other children of my age would spend their time in the playgrounds,  my latter teenage years went by serving the man of God in every possible way. People ridiculed me for the same. But years later, when this ministry grew, God gave me hundreds of youngsters to assist me in the church and home affairs.

John 12:25 Anyone who loves their life will lose it, while anyone who hates their life in this world will keep it for eternal life.

Even your life, your time can be a seed. Only if we sow it can we reap the benefits. This is a spiritual principle of the Kingdom Of God. A natural man cannot understand it.

Quantity and quality of the seed increases through sowing and harvesting.
The three very important laws of sowing and reaping:

• You reap only if you sow
• You reap what you sow
• You reap more than what you sow

This is not just an agricultural principle, but it relates to  your life and future. Sow into your life through your smile and deeds of kindness, love and blessings; and you will reap whatever you sow in a greater measure.

Matthew 13:8 Still other seed fell on good soil, where it produced a crop—a hundred, sixty or thirty times what was sown.
