“Now he who supplies seed to the sower and bread for food will also supply and increase your store of seed and will enlarge the harvest of your righteousness.” 2 Corinthians 9:10 NIV
We need to determine the harvest that we expect. We reap what we sow! If we want to reap tomatoes, we must sow tomato seeds and not carrot seeds! Many people expect God to do things for them without planting the right seeds. Many want God to bless them, but we need to first determine what seeds we need to sow! It may be words of faith, acts of kindness or steps of faith. God multiplies the seed that we sow and we will always reap more than we sow! God only multiplies that which we place in His hands. If we place money in His hands, He multiplies it. If we place nothing in His hands, He multiplies nothing! When we speak about seeds, we are not only speaking about money. Our seeds can be finances, time, love, honour or kindness. One of the most important seeds that we sow are our words. When we continually sow good words, these words will produce a good harvest. We can change our circumstances by the words we speak. We read in Galatians 6:8, “Whoever sows to please their flesh, from the flesh will reap destruction; whoever sows to please the Spirit, from the Spirit will reap eternal life.” In other words, sowing to the Spirit will affect our spiritual lives on earth and in eternity as well. The only way to consistently grow spiritually is to consistently sow spiritual things into our lives. This includes, prayer, reading the Bible, worship, etc. We cannot expect to grow spiritually if we sow rubbish into our minds. The Bible says that we are transformed by the renewing of our minds.
