You must sow to reap

Galatians 6:7-9
“To reap, you must sow” This is a life lesson we all need to remember.
1. You reap what you sow.
Every harvest starts with a seed, and the harvest is determined by what and how much you sow. You can't reap anything from a field where you haven't planted anything.
Watermelons are harvested where watermelons are planted, and potatoes are harvested in the fields where potatoes are planted.
This is the God-given law of nature.
However, there are those who do not think at all about what they sow.
And when those seeds begin to bear bitter fruit, they are very upset.
“Why did this happen to me?” Because they don't even think about what they planted.
2. You reap more than you sow.
Is it natural to harvest tens or hundreds of times more fruit than seeds?
That is why a single sack of seeds fills the barns at harvest time.
It is the grace of God that we sow little and reap more than we sow.
One small seed we planted in the field of faith for the glory of the Lord will grow and give glory to God, and furthermore, this small seed that I have done today will grow and become the source of salvation for many people. that it will be
3. Sow and then reap after a long time.
No seed grows overnight. They are discouraged because they planted and the results do not appear immediately. Farmers live their lives according to this principle.
Summer exists in between, because you plant in spring and reap in different seasons.
A person without patience will never be able to farm.
God has promised that the harvest time will surely come.
If we rely on the Word of God and sow a life for the Spirit every day, not for perishability, he says that one day we will surely reap unimaginably great fruits.
"They will reap in due time!" But whether we sowed or not, we should give thanks to God. It is because you have protected this year and been with us no matter what our lives are.
We still have a lot of seeds that we sowed and planted in our own way over the past year.
Seeds of your prayers/ Seeds of the Word/ Seeds of material things/ Seeds of service and devotion/ Seeds of missions and evangelism/ Seeds of obedience/ Seeds of love among believers/ Seeds of praise have been sown and planted.
One day the time will come when you will reap the fruits. We must nurture and take care of the seed so that it can grow well and bear many beautiful fruits.
To do that, first, we need to cultivate more with the Word and prayer so that the field of our heart can become fertile soil, and/and we must prepare the fertilizer of works so that we can give better nutrition to the field of faith.
For the rest of 2010, I pray in the name of Jesus that you will become believers who harvest the rich and beautiful fruits of the seeds of faith you sowed.
