Galatians 6:7 Be not deceived; God is not mocked: for whatsoever a man soweth, that shall he also reap.
Most people do not understand the brevity of this law. Jesus and Paul used this law extensively to explain the ramifications of sin, death, and destruction. The whole Law and the Prophets point toward this reality:
Matthew 7:12 Therefore, whatever you want men to do to you, do also to them, for this is the Law and the Prophets. NKJV
Think about it. Everyday you sow seeds of some type- good or bad, blessing or cursing, joy or sorrow. You need to assess your daily walk and ask Our Heavenly Father to show you those seeds you have planted. Are you sowing seeds of pessimism, cynicism, or judgment?
Galatians 6:8 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.
Galatians 6:9 And let us not grow weary while doing good, for in due season we shall reap if we do not lose heart.
“Doing good” and continuous sowing will take time and resources. Paul urges us to be patient and not grow weary or lose heart. Our patience will be tested with tribulation and those who have placed self-interest above the call to minister life will go by the wayside in failure. Our gifts and calling empower to go forth and fulfill our destiny, no matter what the circumstances. As we navigate through this life with the Holy Spirit as our compass, we will arrive on the other side full of testimonies of how Our Heavenly Father delivered through the trials and tribulations perfecting our walk. The adversary is out there challenging our walk but without the power that he held when he tempted Jesus. The blood of Jesus Christ now provides a protective barrier to the wiles of the devil. Humanistic thinking has pushed many to forget the power of the Holy Spirit to the point of dormancy. The Holy Spirit is as important now as ever before. Men’s abuse of the power under the Pentecostal anointing has been a deterrent to those who have been negatively affected by this abuse thus in their own minds attempted to disassociate with the ministry of the Holy Spirit. It appears that the gifts of The Spirit have been de-emphasized to the point of non-use by those who are pursuing the Tabernacles anointing. GOD forbid, for Paul spake in tongues more than you all! Aren’t we after the full package? Jesus operated with the full use of the gifts of the Holy Spirit so why should we fail to pursue these gifts that we might more effectively minister to those in need?
If you want to walk in the Spirit, you must submit to the Spirit and sow in the Spirit. If we seek the Gift Giver we will receive gifts to operate in. What is a gift for? To consume upon oneself? Is there such a short supply of Heavenly gifts that we must hide those gifts under a bushel? Where is your boldness in The LORD? The gifts of the Holy Spirit are listed just prior to Paul’s writing on Love. The gifts will operate and flourish in your life as you sow Love. As you pursue this walk you will walk worthy of the Lord being fruitful in every good work, increasing in the knowledge of GOD, strengthened with all might according to HIS glorious power unto all patience and longsuffering with joyfulness!
People sit around and wait for blessing to arrive on their doorstep. The law of sowing and reaping demands that the seed be planted and watered before you can expect a harvest. What seeds are you planting?
