Christ's sowing & Reaping
A principle of the kingdom - #2
God is the author of sowing and reaping, an action that continues in the Kingdom of God, specifically in us as His children. While I don’t particularly like to use the word law in connection with sowing and reaping, it nonetheless operates as such. As it says in Gal. 6:7, let’s not deceive ourselves. God is not mocked, (snickered at), whatsoever we sow, that shall we reap also. Whatever we sow, whether to the flesh or spirit, the way we give ourselves to one another, our ministry, our time, and our money, we are going to reap in corresponding fashion. In fact, we may receive more than what we have given as it says in Luke 6:38. Here what is given is not identified. It is again the whatever we give, and I believe the heart condition of our giving. When we live a life of blessing to others, we end up being blessed in life.
We don’t give in order to get. We give because we are the children of God, have His nature and have freely received from Him, Mt. 10:8. I am fond of this scripture, 2 Cor. 9:6-12, because it is so expansive.
