Gal
6:7 Be not deceived; God is not mocked: for whatsoever a man soweth, that shall
he also reap.
Gal
6:8 For he that soweth to his flesh shall of the flesh reap corruption; but he
that soweth to the Spirit shall of the Spirit reap life everlasting.
*******
Sow to the Spirit.
Gal 5:22 But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy,
peace, longsuffering, gentleness, goodness, faith,
Gal 5:23 Meekness, temperance: against such there is
no law.
Gal 5:24 And they that are Christ's have crucified the
flesh with the affections and lusts.
Gal 5:25 If we live in the Spirit, let us also walk in
the Spirit.
TRUTH!
So denying ourselves
our flesh affections and lusts that want to consume our lives is
necessary. Is there ANYTHING in your life you would choose to do
over doing the will of God? Would you
rather sow to your own lusts than sow to the love of God, of Godly love, of
joy, of peace, of longsuffering, of gentleness, of goodness, of faith, of
meekness, of temperance? Seriously? We
have to examine ourselves! We are accountable for examining ourselves.
2Co 13:5 Examine yourselves, whether ye be in the
faith; prove your own selves.
1Co 11:27 Wherefore whosoever shall eat this bread, and
drink this cup of the Lord, unworthily, shall be guilty of the body and blood
of the Lord.
1Co 11:28 But let a man examine himself, and so let him
eat of that bread, and drink of that cup.
Examining ourselves
is necessary!
We are told NOT to
be deceived.
God will not be
mocked. We mock God when we refuse to
examine ourselves. We mock God when we believe that we do not have to be
accountable for all of our actions. We are accountable and we must seek
forgiveness and repentance when we fail, which is often and always. We cannot
be stupid enough to believe that we are doing God's will when we are sowing to
our flesh, when we are sowing to our selfishness.
I'm NOT talking
about our survival needs- rest, food, drink-
but when we seek in excess selfish desires we are not sowing to the
Spirit but to self and to sow to self is to sow to the flesh. I'm guilty of it!
God forgive me and help me, I am! I need to sow to the Spirit! By His grace and
power alone it will be possible!
People truly will
REAP what they SOW. If you sow to self
you will reap self, not God. If you sow
to the Spirit you will reap to the Spirit!
May we all reap to
the SPIRIT because we SOW to the Spirit!
May we be truly
God's!
In the name of Jesus
Christ our Lord and Savior, now and FOREVER!
Amen!
