FAITH CAPSULE: What kind of Sower are you before God?
1John2
In the journey of life, how one takes a step will determine where such landed.
It is always where one lands that will determine how one settles in life journey.
What kind of steps are you taking?
What one gives out in life is what to get back from in life.
For example, it is how one lays bed that will sleep on it.
One that sleeps on a rough bed should expect to rise roughly from sleep.
What is your company like, and how does it reflect on you?
The company that one flocks with often testifies the character of such.
A goat that flocks with the company of pigs shall carry the identity of the pig.
God is a perfect God that oversees the affairs of man.
God is not a slave master but a saving master.
God is not the author of suffering but a longsuffering God. Psalm 86:15 identifies the character of God, “But You, O Lord, are a God full of compassion, and gracious, Longsuffering and abundant in mercy and truth.”
What one sows is what such shall reap.
As close as banana and plantain look the same, it shall not be possible to sow a banana to reap plantain.
A man can deceive to manipulate the world but not possible to deceive God that sees all.
What one has sowed or what is sowing shall be reaped at the appointed time.
What seed are you sowing?
Are you sowing bad with the expectation to reap good?
Are you sowing good with the expectation to reap from good?
In all areas of life, regardless of the title outside of believers or non-believers, doing wrong in hiding will always result wrong.
Know to do right and experience right in your ways of life.
What is the seed you carry to spread or to sow in this world of wickedness?
The world of wickedness is full of telling lies to deceive and manipulate.
What kind of seed do you carry?
The seed you carry is what you possess to sow or share with your world.
In life, to sow the seed of deception with the expectation to reap the fruit of perfection is not possible.
One that sow lie will reap the fruit of being deceived.
Do not live life as a liar.
Word of God admonishes, “He who says, “I know Him,” and does not keep His commandments, is a liar, and the truth is not in him.” (1John2:4-6)
God invests much in the life of all.
The majority extends so little in return to God by not living by the truth of God.
Telling lies as the seed you carry can last for years but, it takes just a day, a moment that truth shall expose lies.
Prayer for today: Ask to be enabled to live life by the truth of God.
