Galatians 6:7-8 NIV
Do not be deceived: God cannot be mocked. A man reaps what he sows. Whoever sows to please their flesh, from the flesh will reap destruction; whoever sows to please the Spirit, from the Spirit will reap eternal life.
I believe that the realities of the times require that we remind ourselves again that there will always be a reaping after sowing. We ought to be mindful of the things we sow now, because as surely as God lives, there will be a time of reaping. As a country, we seem to think that for us, this law will not hold. We steal with impunity, amassing for ourselves what 3 generations cannot spend, we kill people made in the likeness of God, we have become so used to God that we use his name for godless ends, forgetting the time- tested truth that a man will ALWAYS reap what he sows.
As we run this race before us, we need to be reminded again that all we do matters. All our words, deeds and thoughts are seeds that are sown in the lives of people around us. We need to remind ourselves that all seeds put in the ground of people and situations around us will definitely take root and bear fruit. If you do not like the fruit you see, then you must ensure that you watch the seed that you sow. The amazing truth about sowing is just that you always get a geometric increase of whatever you sow. 2 seeds of corn are put in the ground; more than 3 cobs of Maize can be harvested from those 2 seeds. Imagine sowing evil; imagine planting seeds of discord, hatred, jealousy and envy. The harvest is better imagined than experienced. Watch your words and life today; his time of favour is here.
