FAITH CAPSULE: Our walk is our seed which we sow for God to reward us.
Genesis 27
In your new beginning, allow the newness of God’s grace to reign in your life.
In the past year, whatever it was that did not represent God; that did not glorify God, disallow it from having a place in your life as you engage the journey of a new beginning.
Take note that what a man sows will become what he reaps. God is a perfect Manager that perfects in managing every of His creation. You will reap from what you sow!
In life, it is impossible to sow the seed of deception and expect to reap the fruit of perfection.
Any man who sows the seed of lie will reap the fruit of deception. It is worthy to live life as one who knows God because anything short of that is living a life of a lie.
It is important to know that, God invests so much in us while we extend so little to Him. Working and not walking will not get us to where God wants us to be. Our walk is our seed which we sow for God to reward us.
What is the best way for us to keep walking in line before God?
Leviticus 18:4 stated, “You shall observe My judgment and keep my ordinances, to walk in them. I am the Lord your God” It is certain that to observe is to comprehend the word which will make walking in His word possible in the journey of life. Meditate continual on the word of God which is the way to observe and do according to God’s word.
WHAT YOU SOW YOU WILL REAP.
The son of Isaac (Esau) disobeyed his father by his violation of God’s command which stated, “Honor your father and your mother, that your days may be long upon the land which the LORD your God is giving you. (Exodus 20:12).
Bible recorded Esau’s violation: “When Esau was forty years old, he took as wives Judith the daughter of Beeri the Hittite, and Basemath the daughter of Elon the Hittite. And they were a grief of mind to Isaac and Rebekah.” (Genesis 26:34-35) Esau knew well enough not to marry outside of his father’s prescribed area; yet, he went and married without Isaac’s blessings. Esau’s act of disobedience activated grief of mind to his parents. Despite Esau’s act of disobedience his father (Isaac) called on him saying to him, “Now, therefore, please take your weapons, your quiver and your bow, and go out to the field and hunt game for me. And make me savory food, such as I love, and bring it to me that I may eat, that my soul may bless you before I die.” (Genesis 27:3-4) Isaac spoke to Esau with an assignment which was supposed to bless Esau. The disobedience of Esau denied him to receive the blessings of his father when Rebekah (mother of Esau and Jacob) re-assigned Esau’s blessing assignment to Jacob. It is certain that nothing can change what to reap right where doing wrong has been sowed.
Prayer for today: Ask to live a life of obedience to the glory of God.
