Galatians 6:7 (NKJV) 7 Do not be deceived, God is not mocked; for whatever a man sows, that he will also reap.
Sowing. It’s a word that farmers are intimately familiar with.
Farmers know that if they don’t sow, they won’t reap their harvest. It’s just a basic principle that will never change.
If they expect to reap, they know that they must spend the time and effort sowing. And they know that whatever they sow, that they will also reap. If they sow corn, they will reap corn. If they sow soybeans, they will reap soybeans.
And so it is with us, even if we’re not farmers or don’t grow our own fruits or vegetables. Whatever we sow in life, we will also reap.
If we sow joy, we reap joy. If we sow kindness, we will reap kindness. If we sow finances, we will reap finances And so it goes with everything.
So many of us are looking to reap a financial harvest. But are we sowing finances? Or are we just secretly hoping that God will drop a bag of money into our laps? So often we fail to understand that we will get what we give. Yet we walk around expecting to find a bag of cash laying somewhere that we can use to pay all of our bills.
Sowing is a necessity if we expect to reap! It’s something that we can’t change and we need to understand if we ever hope to grow in our lives, not just financially, but in every way.
And to disarm any critics, please understand that this is not a prosperity message. It’s a word of truth that the body of Christ needs to understand if we are ever going to climb out of our financial holes and get free from the chains of debt and poverty!
If we are constantly in a state of lack and always looking for that next dollar (or whatever currency your country uses), maybe we need to take a look at our giving and see if it measures up, or if it even exists at all.
If we’re saying that we don’t give because we can’t afford to, we need to realize that we can’t afford not to give!
There is so much more that could be shared on this topic, but we don’t want this to be too lengthy.
So, please, let’s do ourselves a huge favor and sincerely ask God if we’re sowing enough, or if we’re even sowing at all. Because once we get this right, so many other things in our lives will start to fall into place for us.
