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 portray...

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...
