You Don't Always Reap What You Sow!

You Don't Always Reap What You Sow...

but you always reap when you sow! I was blessed on yesterday by Pastor Bill Winston as he spoke on the law of reaping and sowing. He declared that when we sow, that is our seed, and we can name our seed e.g. you can sow a seed for your new house, new car, or whatever it is your heart desires. The message was on "The God Factor" and how we alone don't/can't accomplish what it is we want desire in this life. We must not forget about God. Allow God to put some super on our natural. Miracles are still happening every day it is just a matter of belief.

You may be saying yes you do reap what you sow. Well you do reap yet you don't always reap in the manner in which you sowed.

The Shumanite woman was gracious enough to feed Elisha whenever he came to her town. She then told her husband that they should prepare quarters for Elisha in their home where he could stay whenever he came to visit.

She sowed a prophets quarters.

Elisha in turn wanted to bless her, his first offer she declined and then he spoke with someone to determine what it was he could do for the Shumanite woman. He spoke unto her that at the same time next year she would have a son.

She reaped a child for sowing a prophets quarters.

See 2 Kings 4:8-17

While she sowed without an expectation of reaping she reaped anyway because it is a law that works on its own.

So whether you are sowing/giving/doing out of the goodness of your heart with no expecatation or sowing a seed for a specific need.

Galatians 6:7-10 "7 Do not be deceived: God cannot be mocked. A man reaps what he sows. 8 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. 9 Let us not become weary in doing good, for at the proper time we will reap a harvest if we do not give up. 10 Therefore, as we have opportunity, let us do good to all people, especially to those who belong to the family of believers."

One of my favorite Bill Winston quotes,

God is not moved by your need he is moved by your seed. If you have a need get to sowing!

Be a blessing and be blessed,
