You reap what you sow. This is something that we have heard, whether we are Christians or not. In the Bible there are several verses, which refer to this quote. But the most notable passage that touched my heart, and God wants to share with you,is in Galatians, Chapter 6 verse 7 through 9. Verse 7 says not to be deceived, that God is not mocked, what soever man sows, that shall he also reap. As I'm in Sri Lanka, sowing and reaping is something that I encounter very regularly. Every one does good deeds, in order to get good deeds in return. Like what goes around, comes around. So much so that All religious workers, be it Christians, Buddhists, Hindus or Muslims, they all want their believers to do so, and the believers too want to do that. Helping, sharing, giving, all this is inherent in Humans. That's how Humans are made.It works for every one. I know there are many people who are well to do in every thing, be it money, wealth, work or Business. I mean just see Mark Zuckerberg, he wants to give 99% of his wealth to charity right?People in any religion do great. That is a fact. But this is what we see, feel and hear, every day.
But when you read further into the verse 8, the difference between a Christian and others are known.It says if you sow in flesh, then through flesh you will reap. But then it will reap corruption. What does that mean? Does it mean that every one that sow in flesh, reaps corruption. Then what about the Christians, the things that we want to do in faith, by using our bodies. We are doing things in order to achieve things, to realize our dreams. We have so much to get. We too want more. We too want to have more. In order to achieve we use our Brains, hands, legs etc. Aren't they flesh?
This is one of the Hard questions that we should ask ourselves, as Christians of today. As Christians, we can't be like non-Christians. 1st we should know who the non-Christians are. Verse 8 aptly explains to us the difference. The ones that sow in flesh, and the ones that sow in spirit. That's it. If you are a Christian you must know whether you sow in Flesh or in Spirit. If not you are a non-Christian. Period. Understanding this is not so easy. If you really ask your self, whether you are a sower in flesh or in spirit, what do you feel? But God is good, He want's us to be the right child. He helps us, in spirit to strengthen our spirit.
Then we come to the last verse, the verse 9. It says that we should do good, without growing weary. Because in due season we will reap. IN DUE SEASON WE WILL REAP.......hallelujah......IN DUE SEASON WE WILL REAP......IF....WE....DO...NOT....GIVE.....UP.Bingo, it hits on the nail, so hard. We must know if we call ourselves Christians, that what we sow is sown in Spirit, then we will enjoy a life that's everlasting, and we should not grow weary, and keep doing the good things, and at the right time, in due season, we SHALL reap. We must understand, that the secret to our success, comes in due season. You can't control that, only in due season we will reap. This verse says not to give up, till we come to the due season to reap. That is how God has created, this is God's Work. We can't meddle with it. You can't do it alone. But God chose you, because He want's you to be like that. That's why we have to keep doing, keep going, without being weary. God's Love is awesome, His Grace can not be fathomed. He wants you to be a person living in Spirit and, not in Flesh. But only if you want. If you want, then talk to Him, keep talking to Him, keep experiencing Him, keep going with Him. You are His Treasure. your Family is His. He is the Almighty. He has the Almighty power to make you, like what He wants you to be. Do not give up, Do not grow weary. Then in due season, God will give you His harvest and, you will certainly Reap. Happy? are you really Happy? Then praise God. May God Bless You.
