DON'T BE DECEIVED 2


 *Text ;* Galatians  6:7  


 *Be not deceived; God is not mocked: for whatsoever a man soweth, that shall he also reap.* 


Yesterday, we looked at deception from the angle of self-deception  in relations to the kind of association we keep. 

Today, we shall be looking at deception as it relates to sowing and reaping.


Isn't it amazing how man expects to reap something different from what he sows. In agriculture, you don't expect to reap mango from orange tree. The same law applies in life generally. 


Jesus said in Luke 6:44 that every tree is known by its own fruit. People don’t gather figs from thorny plants or pick grapes from a thorn bush. Trees produce after its kind. That is, your harvest is precipitated on the kind of seed you have sown.


 *Each day is an opportunity to sow a good seed that will count for you in eternity.* 


Now, when people hear about sowing and reaping, the first thing that comes to mind is money. Yes, money could be sown but it's just one item out of many things that could and should be sown.


If you want to reap love, sow love. If you want kindness, sow same. Whatever you desire to harvest, start to sow it now.


If you want your daughter or son in law to treat you well, see to it that you treat your mother or father in law well. Some things only answer to principles and not prayers. The principle of sowing and reaping is one that even God cannot ignore.


 *Don't be deceived,  you will reap what you sow, so pay attention to your seed.* 


 *For he that sows to his flesh shall of the flesh reap corruption; but he that sows to the Spirit shall of the Spirit reap life everlasting.* Gal 6:8.



 *BIBLE READING* : 


Gal  6:7-8.


 *PRAYER FOCUS* 


1. Father, please give me the grace to consciously sow seed of good works that I might reap bountiful harvest of goodness.

IT IS WRITTEN AGAIN

Text: Matthew 4:6. He told Jesus, “Since you are the Son of God, throw yourself down, because it is written,   ‘God will put his angels in charge of you,’ and,   ‘With their hands they will hold you up, so that you will never hit your foot against a rock.’ Jesus knocked devil off with "it is written" when he came to him with the first temptation. So, the devil too decided to use "it is written" for Jesus for the second temptation.  Don't be deceived, the devil knows the scriptures too. Second Corinthians 11:14 says,  "Satan himself masquerades as an angel of light." So, it's no surprise when you see Satan's messengers masquerading themselves as Apostle of Christ. 2 Corinthians 11:14.  The word of God is perfect. Yet, many people can twist it to their advantage and ultimately to their disadvantage. A drunk, smoker, fornicator, liar and all sort can justify their sinful lifestyles with a Bible verse. See to it that you do not twist the word of Go...

WHEN GOD IS SILENT(2)

Text: Matthew 4:1  *Then Jesus was led up by the Spirit into the wilderness to be tempted by the devil.*  We saw yesterday that God was not pleased with many israelites that left Egypt for the promised land  (Corinthians 10:5).  A good percentage of the Israelites were overthrown in the wilderness.   Wilderness experience is not what any child of God desires, but it is an experience God sends or allows his children go through. In Deuteronomy 8:2, God says that He *LED* the Isrealites through the wilderness for forty years to humble them, to prove them, and to know what was in their heart whether they would keep his commandments or not.  Our Lord Jesus Christ was also *LED* into the wilderness by the Spirit of the Lord to be tempted by the devil. You will  notice there is a similar feature of the number *40(forty)* between these two wilderness experiences. That is, that of the Israelites and our Lord Jesus Christ. The Israelites spent 40years, Jesu...

GULLIBLE BUT INTELLIGENT

Text : Mat 25:31-32  *When the Son of man shall come in his glory, and all the holy angels with him, then shall he sit upon the throne of his glory:*   *And before him shall be gathered all nations: and he shall separate them one from another, as a shepherd divideth his sheep from the goats:*  Have you ever wondered why Jesus compared His followers to sheep and not goats?  Sheep has reputation for being stupid, defenceless and harmless creatures that mope about on hillsides doing not very much. They are good for two things: being eaten and producing wool. According to a study by Keith Kendrick, he said in reality, Sheep are actually surprisingly intelligent, with impressive memory and recognition skills. They build friendships, stick up for one another in fights, and feel sad when their friends are  sent to slaughter. The truth is that sheep are far smarter than we know., All these reasons and more are the basis for Jesus' comparism of His followers with sh...
