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...

WAY MAKER-2

Text: Isaiah 43:19 Behold, I will do a new thing: now it shall spring forth: shall ye not know it?  I will even make a way in the wilderness,  and rivers in the desert. God promised that He will do a new thing for you, and that He will make a way in the wilderness and rivers in the desert. He has done this before, and He will do it again even in your own life.  When the children of Israel left Egypt, the Egyptians pursued after them, all the horses and chariots of Pharaoh, and his horsemen, and his army, and overtook them, encamping by the sea, beside Pihahiroth, before Baalzephon.(Exodus 14:9). Just like anyone would react, the Isrealites became so fearful because there is neither way forward nor back for them to escape. Before them was the red sea, behind them were the Egyptian armies. They became perplexed and began to murmur against Moses. It is possible you are also in a situation like the Israelites- No way forward, and no way behind. Things may appear like you are ...

HIS VOICE- 2

Text : John 10:3. To him the porter opens; and the sheep hear his voice: and he calls his own sheep by name, and leads them out. We established yesterday that one thing you can't joke with as a true follower of Christ is *His Voice.* You must recognise and hearken to (obey) His voice. It is in doing this that your safety is assured.  Today, we want to see another responsibility of the Shepherd over His sheep.  To him the porter opens; and the sheep hear his voice: and he calls his own sheep by name, *and leads them out.* John 10:3.  He called you, that He might lead you. It is not enough for you to hear or recognise His Voice, you must allow Him to lead you as well.  Romans 8:14 says *For as many as are led by the Spirit of God, they are the sons of God.*   The Spirit leading you determines the family you belong to. Basically,  there are only two families in this world - the family of God, and the family of satan. In other words, we can say the Kingdom...
