SOWING RIGHT

Text: Galatians 6:7

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

 *Whether you know it or not, you are always sowing. The question  is; are you sowing right?* 

Your whole life is a seed that is being sown on this side of eternity, and you will reap it either in corruption or life everlasting. May the Lord continually grant you grace to keep sowing to yourself in righteousness in Jesus name. (Hosea 10:12). 

You need to know that every of your word, action and inaction are seeds. Hence, you must be very careful how you sow and what you sow. For instance, Apostle Peter in 1Peter 3:10-11 is instructing us on how we can sow aright in order to reap good days. 

"...He who would love life And see good days, Let him refrain his tongue from evil, And his lips from speaking deceit. Let him turn away from evil and do good; Let him seek peace and pursue it.

From the above scripture, you can identify certain  seeds you need to sow in order to reap good life and good days. 

Do you truly love life?
Do you like to see good days? - Then start sowing the following seeds:

1. Refrain your tongue from evil:
Do not speak evil against yourself or others, not even against evil people. Let no evil words proceed from your mouth henceforth.(Proverbs 15:4).

2. Refrain your lips from speaking deceit: Let no deceit or guile be found on your lips. In order words, you must always speak honestly and faithfully. You must put away lies and dishonesty. (Proverbs  12:19).

3. Turn away from evil: While you must  desist from speaking evil, you must also turn away from doing evil. Evil is anything that is void of God and Good, but full of devil and bad. To turn away from evil is to do good and be a follower of that which is good. 

4. Seek Peace and Pursue it: In sowing right seed, you must be a fervent seeker of Peace. You must seek peace with God, and your fellow humans.

Your time here on earth is extremely short as compared to  eternity God has prepared for you, so you must learn to always sow Peace that you may enter into the peace of your God at the end of your sojourn here on earth. (Romans 14:19, Hebrew 12:14).

Bible reading:

James 3:1-13.

PRAYER POINT.

1. Father Lord, give me the grace to daily sow to the Spirit and not to flesh in Jesus name.

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...
