"SOWING AND REAPING"

"Sowing and Reaping"

2 Corinthians 9:6
⁶ But this I say, He which soweth sparingly shall reap also sparingly; and he which soweth bountifully shall reap also bountifully. 

 "NOT ONLY IN THE WORLD BUT IN YOUR RELATIONSHIP AND YOUR FAMILY"

 

Friend, This is probably the most valuable thing we as men and women need to learn about relationship. It's important that you realize you must become both in action and in deed the very thing you are looking to get out of your relationship. If you are looking for affection become affectionate, If you are looking for unconditional love then Love unconditionally. As you look at the Laws of God we find the scripture says:

Galatians 6:7
⁷ Be not deceived; God is not mocked: for whatsoever a man soweth, that shall he also reap.

I guess the issue is really we don't fully understand the term of 

"SOWING AND REAPING"

So let's take some time and explore these two words. First of all let's look at the word "SOW"

 Websters says the word sow is to deposit, to set into motion, to introduce into a selected environment.

To go one step further let's define the word based on Numerology, We find the word sow has 3 letters and the #3 is the number of spiritual completion. So that tells us in order for us to become complete we must make those around us complete. Let's face it  we live in  a  self centered world. It's a dog eat dog world for the most part. We are always looking how we can get ahead. The scripture says it very plain and gives us step by step instructions for getting ahead in life. Let's take a look at some of them.

Luke 6:38
³⁸ Give, and it shall be given unto you; good measure, pressed down, and shaken together, and running over, shall men give into your bosom. For with the same measure that ye mete withal it shall be measured to you again. 

Notice the first word in the Luke 6:38 "GIVE" as hard as it is, it's the key that gives us access into everything That God has prepared for us. 

1 Corinthians 2:9
⁹ But as it is written, Eye hath not seen, nor ear heard, neither have entered into the heart of man, the things which God hath prepared for them that love him. 

See friend, we can't begin imagine what God has laid up for us at this point, and sometimes it looks dark and grim. But when you and I learn to practice the art of "Sowing"  Wow it's amazing the things God has prepared for them that love him. I know you say in mind what does me loving God have to do with  

"SOWING AND REAPING"

Well, the bible  says

John 14:23
²³ Jesus answered and said unto him, If a man love me, he will keep my words: and my Father will love him, and we will come unto him, and make our abode with him. 

So see if we love him we will keep his word, (Galatians 6:7
⁷ Be not deceived; God is not mocked: for whatsoever a man soweth, that shall he also reap). and give it access in our daily lives. Now let's look at the word  

"REAPING" 

websters says to reap is to gather the benefits and rewards and the profits from their investments. Wow, friend does that excite you? it motivates me. Just thinking of gathering the benefits, rewards and profits of all the seeds I have sown into life, family and relationships. Now you may say well, I desire affection, love or passion or whatever it is you desire in your life. Again we must return to God's word for guidance and instruction. 

 "SEED TO THE SOWER"

2 Corinthians 9:10 
¹⁰ Now he that ministereth seed to the sower both minister bread for your food, and multiply your seed sown, and increase the fruits of your righteousness;) 

This was the Apostle Paul writing about God giving seed to the sower. Friend, This is the laws of God that started in the creation of mankind found in 

Genesis 1:28
²⁸ And God blessed them, and God said unto them, Be fruitful, and multiply, and replenish the earth, and subdue it: and have dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the fowl of the air, and over every living thing that moveth upon the earth. 

I challenge you today to make a choice to stop focusing on you, your needs, your wants and your desires and start focusing on making your mate, your family and those around you complete, remember sow has 3 letters and  3 being the number of completion. If you look at the word complete Websters says it's  having all the necessary parts and elements, or the empowerment, the ability to see what God will do. Friend, he has given you the seed the ability  and the power to possess whatever you want. 

 It will all depend upon what you do with the seed God has given you.
