JOPPA SUNDAY SERVICE

*THEME: SOWING AND REAPING*
Let’s suppose you want to plant a vegetable garden.
If you sowed tomato seeds into the ground, you’d expect to see tomatoes when it come time to harvest.
Reversely, if you wanted to plant a garden and you hoped and prayed and read about tomatoes, but didn’t actually sow a tomato seed, well, you’d get nothing.
This principle is called sowing and reaping and its found in Galatians 6:7
“Do not be deceived, God is not mocked; for whatever a man sows, that he will also reap.”
God is declaring that you first are not to be deceived into believing that what you do or don’t do will not reap consequences.
These consequences can be good or bad, it’s the effect of your action, whichever that is.
God is not mocked because His glory cannot and will not ever be compromised.
“For the measure you use, will be measured back to you.” – Luke 6:38
This principle of sowing and reaping is one that applies to every believer and non-believer alike.
Everything you sow today will be reaped in your harvest tomorrow.
God shows no partiality.
He wants everyone to be saved and do good and that means forming good habits as well.
“Whoever sows sparingly will also reap sparingly, and whoever sows bountifully will also reap bountifully.” – 2 Corinthians 9:6
You can sow into any area of your life, either sparingly or bountifully, whether it be spiritual, relational, financial, or physical.
But you will only get out what you put in.
Are your daily habits reaping the harvest your desiring?
Or, are there areas you need to work on to achieve the goals and results you’re looking for?
Are You Reaping Blessings or Weeds?
This principle carries over into your everyday life.
However, most Christians live as if in a box.
They make God so small that they seem to always remain where they’re at.
Well my friends, let me tell you, that is a lie!
The devil wants you to remain where you are because you’re no threat to his agenda against God’s saints moving in action against him.
When you do nothing you become just that.
God gives us commands spiritually but also physically.
These commands can work in any area of your life specifically in sowing and reaping.
“Plant your seed in the morning and keep busy all afternoon, for you don’t know if profit will come from one activity or another or both.” – Ecclesiastes 11:6
If you have a goal you’re aspiring to achieve, the best way to measure the success of that goal is to look at the habits you possess now.
This will determine the outcome.
Are your habits forming seeds for a profitable harvest or for a rotten one?
Remember, God doesn’t have the same timeline as we do, “For His ways are above ours and His thoughts are above our thoughts.” (Isaiah 55:8)
And, He has a perfect will and a perfect timing for each one of our prayer requests.
Many Christians today sit, pray, and go to church waiting for God to just plop down a great reward simply because they’re saved.
As if it’s owed to them, they do nothing but wait for God to give them whatever they ask just because they’ve said their 100th prayer.
But God requires action on our part.
You must take that step first then God will meet you.
God says, “If you’re faithful with very little I will make you faithful over much”. (Luke 16:10)
He always wants you to be the best version of you.
That means making good choices and getting rid of any bad habits that are causing your harvest to grow weeds instead of blessings.
The Seeds You Plant Become the Harvest You Reap
To have a successful harvest you must know what you’re planting.
So you want something different?
New changes for this new year?
Then you must have clearly defined goals you can sow into DAILY.
Start with the spiritual and you’ll be successful in the physical.
