Spiritual Sowing and Reaping

“Be not deceived; God is not mocked: for whatsoever a man soweth, that shall he also reap. [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.” Galatians 6:7-8 (KJV) 

When we sow, we always reap and we always reap what we sow.  God made it this way and when we follow his way we will always be blessed.  In this scripture the apostle Paul gave us the spiritual principle of sowing and reaping.  If we sow to the flesh we shall reap corruption (decay, i.e. ruin) and if we sow to the Spirit we will reap everlasting life (joy, peace, contentment etc.).  In the kingdom of God when we sow his word in our hearts and lives a process begins to take place.

The Process of Spiritual Progression

“For the earth bringeth forth fruit of herself; first the blade, then the ear, after that the full corn in the ear. [29] But when the fruit is brought forth, immediately he putteth in the sickle, because the harvest is come.”

Once we hear the Word of God and obey it (planting it in our hearts) something begins to take place.  As time passes, the Word of God begins to grow.  As it grows there is a blade first.  This is the infant plant that begins to take in the necessary light from the sun.  In the same way when we plant the Word in our hearts it begins to grow and positive changes become evident in our lives. If you would like to experience a better life of power over the things of your flesh that are bringing you down, apply God’s Word in your heart and begin to obey it. The most basic of the Word of God can be found in the first message of salvation in the New Testament.
