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 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
