Text: Galatians 6:7-10
Author: Pastor Adedeji Fadehan
Exhortation:
Every action we put up is a seed. Being a seed it would obey the laws of harvest which says you reap whatever you sow. Apart from that the harvest is always more than the seed and thirdly, the harvest does not happen the same day you sow; that means the reward or consequence of every deed may not happen till a later date.
The word of God says, “Do not be deceived: God cannot be mocked. A man reaps what he sows. 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. Let us not become weary in doing good, for at the proper time we will reap a harvest if we do not give up. Therefore, as we have opportunity, let us do good to all people, especially to those who belong to the family of believers.”Galatians 6:7-10 NIV
You sow to please the flesh when you invest your time pursuing things that boosts your sinful nature and suppresses your divine nature. For example when you feast your eyes on pornographic content, you are sowing to the flesh and you are going to reap the harvest of adultery, fornication, masturbation etc; thereby damning your soul.
Again, someone who invests his time on night clubbing and wild partying would reap the harvest of drunkenness and sexual immorality leading to everlasting destruction.
The one who invests his time feasting on the word of God, listening to soul edifying evangelistic messages, fellowshipping with the Spirit and other like-minded brethren is sowing to please the Holy Spirit and would reap the harvest of holiness, sanctification, Holy Spirit baptism and other supernatural spiritual encounters with God.
Action Nugget: Sow wisely!
