SOWING RIGHT-2

-
Text: Galatians 6:7

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

Our text shows that it is self-deception when you sow, and you are not expecting harvest, or when you sow and you are expecting a different harvest.There is certainly a season for harvest. God said in Genesis 8:22 "While the earth remains, Seedtime and harvest, Cold and heat, Winter and summer, And day and night Shall not cease."

Sowing and reaping  is one of the major principles which governs the earth. It is high time you come into this awareness. You cannot keep sowing to the flesh and expect to reap life everlasting. For instance, you cannot be sowing discord among brethren and be expecting to reap God's peace. (Proverbs 6:14,15 &19).

You must desist from sowing wrong and evil seed henceforth.  Perhaps, you may need to take account of all the seeds you've sown in the past years, or even the one you are sowing now or about to sow. Please, critically examine yourself. Don't be quick in scoring yourself a good mark.

It will surprise you how much help the Lord is willing to offer you in order to uproot every bad seeds you have sown into your own ground (life) or into the lives of others.

You need the search light of the Holy Spirit  to beam into your heart so that you can receive help from sowing wrong seed henceforth.

Some parents have sown the seed of discord in the lives of their children unknowingly. Some have even sown curses into the lives of their children, which will run unto generations yet unborn. 

Some husbands have sown seed of low self esteem into their wives through continuous use of abusive words. Same go for wives who have turned their husbands into jelly fish without any self-worth and confidence through seed of demoralising words. Some Fathers have sown seed of bitterness into their children. Some Pastors have sown seed of greed, rivalry and lack of contentment  into their members' lives in the name of prosperity preaching. The list is endless.

You must however know that, You are always sowing seed by your actions and inactions. Always think about the harvest days ahead, and the kind of harvest you may likely receive; these may help you reconsider the kind of seed you are about to sow today.

Bible reading:

James 3:1-13.

PRAYER POINT.

1. Father Lord, give me the grace to be conscious of the kind of seed I am sowing today and to refrain from sowing wrongly.

THE GOOD FIGHT-2

Text:  1 Timothy  6:12   Fight the good fight of faith, lay hold on eternal life, whereunto thou art also called, and hast professed a good profession before many witnesses. Another thing to pursue in fighting the good fight of faith is Godliness. We understand through the Holy scriptures that godliness is profitable unto all things.   *For bodily exercise profiteth little: but godliness is profitable unto all things, having promise of the life that now is, and of that which is to come.* 1 Timothy  4:8.  You will reap the reward of your godliness not only when you get to heaven, but from here on earth. And this is why we are admonished to exercise ourselves unto godliness. (1 Timothy  4:7), because godliness with contentment is great gain.1 Timothy  6:6. Godliness is the practice of conforming to the image of God by reflecting the nature of the kingdom of God in the course of everyday life. In other words, godliness is living and portraying the nature of God here on earth.  2 Peter  1:

PRAYING MEN

Text : 1Timothy 2:8. I will therefore that men pray every where, lifting up holy hands, without wrath and doubting. God gave explicit instructions to all of His children as to how we must live our lives. Some of these instructions cut across boards, of which all of God's children must obey. However, there are some instructions that are specific to gender or portfolios. We we'll be looking at some of these instructions today.  *THE MEN* From our text, there are two distinct responsibilities God wants men to undertake, and the two are intertwined. First, God wants men to pray. The word  'men' as used in our text is not generic as to mean all human beings. It is specifically requesting that all men should pray. Yes, God expects every of His children to pray, but He specifically called men out here.  A number of times,  when prayer meetings are called, the proportion of women in attendance always outnumbered men. This is because the devil knows the import of praying men.

BE CALM & LISTEN-3

Text: 1 Kings 19:12 "...and after the earthquake a fire, [but] the LORD [was] not in the fire; and after the fire a still small voice" Prophet Elijah fled after he received the life threatening message from Jezebel, the wife of King Ahab, because he didn't keep himself calm before the Lord.  *Endeavouring to listen to God in difficult times is a major prerequisite to your deliverance.*  Are you faced with a life threatening situation like Prophet Elijah, the first and most important thing you need to do is: "Set yourself before the Lord for His still small voice."  *"You will be saved from many unwarranted troubles if only you will always maintain your calm before the Lord and listen to Him."*  After Prophet Elijah heard the still small voice, then the Lord asked him, "What are you doing here?" This question shows that Prophet Elijah had left his rightful location and God-given assignment.  The windstorm he saw, revealed that he has been blow
