Text: Galatians 6:7–8; 2 Timothy 2:19
Author: Pastor Adedeji Fadehan
Exhortation:
Life is governed by God’s unchanging principles, one of which is the law of sowing and reaping. The Scripture declares, “Be not deceived; God is not mocked: for whatsoever a man soweth, that shall he also reap” (Galatians 6:7). Every thought, word, and action is a seed, and every seed eventually produces a harvest. You cannot sow orange and expect to reap pawpaw; your harvest will always reflect the nature of your seed, often in far greater measure.
Sadly, many people sow seeds of dishonesty, bitterness, immorality, and disobedience while expecting peace, favour, and blessings. They assume that the passage of time will erase the consequences of their actions. But God’s principles do not change. Though judgment may not come immediately, every seed has an appointed harvest, and the past often returns to demand an account.
The good news is that through genuine repentance and the mercy of God, evil seeds can be uprooted before they produce a destructive harvest. Sin should never be ignored, excused, or hidden beneath the carpet. Instead, it should be confessed, forsaken, and replaced with seeds of righteousness, obedience, love, and holiness. God’s grace is available to everyone who truly turns back to Him.
God knows those who belong to Him. Therefore, “Let everyone who names the name of Christ depart from iniquity” (2 Timothy 2:19). Deliberately living in sin while repeatedly presuming upon God’s mercy is not repentance—it is treating His grace with contempt. Choose today to sow seeds that will produce a harvest of righteousness, peace, and eternal reward.
Action Nugget: Take time today to examine your life and identify any wrong seeds you may be sowing through your words, attitudes, or actions. Repent sincerely, make the necessary corrections, and intentionally sow seeds of obedience, integrity, and love that will yield a righteous and abundant harvest.
