Sowing And Reaping - Part 6

Galatians 6:7-10
Do not be deceived: God cannot be mocked. A man reaps what he sows. 8 Whoever sows to please their flesh, from the flesh will reap destruction; whoever sows to please the Spirit, from the Spirit will reap eternal life. 9 Let us not become weary in doing good, for at the proper time we will reap a harvest if we do not give up. 10 Therefore, as we have opportunity, let us do good to all people, especially to those who belong to the family of believers.

The good or the bad we do, is the seed. People are the field. Apostle Paul emphasizes on the fact that a man reaps what he sows. Some sow in the flesh. They will reap destruction. Those who sow in sinful acts will reap destruction due to sin. Whoever sows to please the Spirit, will reap eternal life.
We shouldn’t become weary in doing good. If we do not give up, we will reap a harvest at the proper time. We must do good to all, especially to believers. Our words, actions are all seeds.

Luke 6:31
Do to others as you would have them do to you.

Hebrews 6:10
God is not unjust; he will not forget your work and the love you have shown him as you have helped his people and continue to help them.

God doesn’t forget all that we do in His name, and for Him; He rewards us at the right time.
The different seeds are:
1)  God’s Word
2)  Disciples/believers
3)  Good/evils acts
4)  Money

Money is a seed.

2 Corinthians 9:6-11
Remember this: Whoever sows sparingly will also reap sparingly, and whoever sows generously will also reap generously. 7 Each of you should give what you have decided in your heart to give, not reluctantly or under compulsion, for God loves a cheerful giver. 8 And God is able to bless you abundantly, so that in all things at all times, having all that you need, you will abound in every good work. 9 As it is written: “They have freely scattered their gifts to the poor; their righteousness endures forever.” 10 Now he who supplies seed to the sower and bread for food will also supply and increase your store of seed and will enlarge the harvest of your righteousness. 11 You will be enriched in every way so that you can be generous on every occasion, and through us your generosity will result in thanksgiving to God.

We must give cheerfully. Not out of force but we must give for God’s work out of love and willingness. The money that God has blessed us with, we must use it as a seed to sow in the Kingdom of God. When we sow in the Kingdom of God is when we get maximum returns. Jesus said if you give for His sake or the kingdom’s sake, you will get a hundred fold.

5)  Anything given for the Kingdom

Mark 10:29-30
“Truly I tell you,” Jesus replied, “no one who has left home or brothers or sisters or mother or father or children or fields for me and the gospel 30 will fail to receive a hundred times as much in this present age: homes, brothers, sisters, mothers, children and fields—along with persecutions—and in the age to come eternal life.

Jesus talks about several things here. Land, money, relationships. We may have to sacrifice all this. But we will get back a hundred fold.

6)  The Body

1 Corinthians 15:42-44
So will it be with the resurrection of the dead. The body that is sown is perishable, it is raised imperishable; 43 it is sown in dishonor, it is raised in glory; it is sown in weakness, it is raised in power; 44 it is sown a natural body, it is raised a spiritual body. If there is a natural body, there is also a spiritual body.

The Body is a seed. The earth is the field. Though our body is perishable, when we rise again, we will receive an imperishable body.

7)  Jesus

Genesis 7:15
Pairs of all creatures that have the breath of life in them came to Noah and entered the ark.
Jesus is the seed from heaven.

John 7:42
Does not Scripture say that the Messiah will come from David’s descendants and from Bethlehem, the town where David lived?”

Jesus the seed has everything. God the Father planted that seed into the earth. Everything of the Kingdom of God, the culture, the language, came to the earth and continues to spread on the earth through Jesus the seed.
