Sow and Reap
Last Edition Recap
How have you applied the last edition to your life?
Opening Prayer
Jesus, we know what it is like to prepare for life’s challenges. Now teach us how to become, and stay, ready within our souls. Amen.
Intro
Orders of Natural Law control the universe. Take the natural law of gravity, for example; Gravity can be manipulated by an aeroplane or helicopter for them to take flight. If you switch off the engine in mid-flight, the natural law of gravity dictates, “what goes up MUST come down.” The aircraft will be pulled down to the ground.
Another natural law is the law of Sowing and Reaping. You cannot sow wheat and get apples, and you cannot plant apple seeds to grow wheat. What you sow is what you WILL reap.
Just like we cannot escape the natural laws of the universe, we must never underestimate the supernatural laws of God. These laws are infinitely more important and eternally more powerful. In addition, these laws of God are often disregarded and even ignored.
What YOU sow is what YOU will reap.
In challenging situations, be it persecution, anger, judgment, ridicule, slander, hate, favouritism, exclusion, racism, tribalism, abandonment, etc. STOP immediately and humble yourself and ask, “How have I done this THING to someone else?”

Final Thought
Now is not the time to get caught up in the slavery of your emotions but rather allow God to reveal WHY you are reaping this thing. His purpose is to save you from the seed you have sown that will not bear His Fruit.
Humbling yourself in this act of grace will give you the power to remove what ungodly seed you have sown and remove the unpleasant experience of ungodly reaping.
In its place, re-sow the good things of God that you may reap the Good things of God.
What are your prayer requests?
Closing Prayer
Gracious God, we are not worthy of glory. Glory should be entirely yours. Please help us lead our lives in the way that will bring you glory. Please help us to be prepared for when you call. Amen

- What MUST you do about it to start sowing the good seed of God into your life?
