Sow Goodness
Do not be deceived: God is not mocked, for whatever one sows, that will he also reap. Galatians 6:7, ESV
I was out in my garden admiring all the wonderful vegetation that had come up. It was my first time planting cabbage and broccoli so I was excited to see them grow up from a small seed to produce so much fruit. I remember touching the top of the broccoli so very carefully as I stood back and admired it. I was so excited to harvest the first batch!
Weeks later the Holy Spirit said to me, “You have received what you planted, but this principle works throughout all the earth.” When the scripture says that there will be a time to sow seed and a time to harvest, he is not only speaking about planting physically, but planting spiritually.
He began to show me in the spirit that if you sow evil to others that is what will produce for yourself in your life. He said, “You are only going to receive what you have sown in the earth.” He showed me that what we speak and do to others is like planting seeds and eventually just like my cabbage and broccoli produced fruit, so will our actions. I immediately began to repent and asked God for forgiveness because I have not always treated people with kindness.
I have been blessed to be around some spirit filled people who I have witnessed consistently sowing into others. They made such a sacrifice with their own income, time and work to sow goodness into other individuals lives. Do you know what I see happen to them time and time again? God sows back into their lives abundantly! It is not just them who receives blessings, but their families and friends are also blessed because of what they have done for others! It reminds me of my garden: I planted the seeds and did the work so the plants could produce their fruit, but when the fruit came up it was so much that I gave some to my family and friends. The abundance was so much I could not eat it all! I had to share with others!
It is so important that you pay attention to what kind of seeds you are sowing because whatever you sow, you will produce fruit and impact all those around you. Jesus says that we are to love the Lord thy God with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy mind. And we are to love our neighbor as ourselves. When we do this we are guaranteeing abundance of goodness back into our lives and those connected to us!
