Pressing In And Moving On

Recently while spending time with God speaking in tongues and communing with The Holy Spirit I was quickened to a scripture in Galatians chapter 6 and verse eight. It reads like this

“For he who sows to his flesh will of the flesh reap

corruption, but he who sows to the Spirit will of the Spirit reap everlasting life.”

This is a powerful scripture that is used in many different areas of the Christian walk, but I want to zero in on a specific area today. You may say I don’t sow anything, that’s for farmers, and people with a green thumb. I would beg to differ. The truth is we all sow to either one thing or another. To make it simple just like the verse we read, we are either sowing to the flesh or the sprit. We are either sowing to the carnal side of our bodies the flesh, or the spiritual side which is the Spirit inside us, everlasting life. And the result of sowing to those is this; death or life. You are sowing to one or the other. Not sowing to the spirit is sowing to the flesh. I often hear people say, I don’t have time for the God thing, or I don’t have time to read my Bible, or I don’t have time to pray. Listen to this scripture in Ecclesiastes Chapter nine and verse eleven.

“…..the race is not to the swift, or the battle to the strong……but time and chance happened to them all.”

The Bible says in this passage that time and chance happens to all of us. Each of us have time and many chances every day and the question is what do we do with that time and those chances. A Pastor friend told me recently that he would like to go into a low income community and tell them that he might have received 100 opportunities in his life because of where he grew up, and those of you in the low income community may have had only 30 opportunities to get ahead in life. So the question is no longer did you have an opportunity, but rather what did you do with that opportunies that you were given. The same thing is true with time. Its not that we don’t have enough time, it’s what we do with the time that we have? With the choices we make we are deciding what we are sowing into, either life or death. The problem is, when the harvest shows itself from what we have been sowing, and we are unhappy with the fruit, not realizing that it wasn’t the field that was wrong or the time of year but rather what we sowed into the felid. Making time for God, is something that you have to do. It doesn’t just happen. It takes time, and after time sowing the Bible says that we will reap a harvest of goodness if we won’t loss heart in the process. Ask God for forgiveness, and redeem the time that you have from now on. Be serious about building your relationship with God. Go after this thing and reap a harvest of goodness.
