WHAT YOU SOW, YOU REAP
“Be not deceived; God is not mocked: for whatsoever a man soweth, that shall he also reap.” Galatians 6:7 KJV
The fact that you are already blessed is not in doubt; however, you have a part to play to walk in the fullness of all that God has made available to you. One of the incontrovertible laws in existence is the law of sowing and reaping. It is one law that is constantly activated by our actions. You cannot circumvent it. All truth is parallel: just as you cannot plant lemon and reap oranges as close as they are in shape, you cannot plant negative words and reap the promises of God.
When God said that you will reap whatever you sowed, the word “whatever” is very key. It is not all about money. We have used this to talk about giving and while that is very true, it does not only apply to giving. If you want to reap righteousness, plant the seeds of righteousness into your life. If you want to reap good health, plant the seeds of good health into your life. Everything you want is in the Bible. No promise of God is void of power; however, it will not fall on you like a bag of cherries. Your part is to find it, declare it until you become one with it and you will have it.
Stop and think: In what area are you facing challenges? If you can identify them, please write them down, then search the scriptures and write out all the promises that you can lay your hands upon concerning them; meditate and declare them over your life. Do this consistently throughout the first quarter and see the dramatic change you will notice in your life. The things that you thought were impossible will begin to fall in line according to the Word of God.
This year is not meant to be just one of those years. God has a whole lot in stock for you and my prayer is none will elude you In Jesus’ name.
