The Scriptures clearly state, "Be not deceived, God is not mocked. Whatsoever a man soweth, that shall he also reap." (Galatians 6). Everybody, whether they are spiritual or not, sows seeds in some area of their lives. Whether we are conscious of it or not, the choices we make, the behaviors we engage in, the relationships we establish, the way we spend our money represent seeds that we sow in our lives.
What we often forget in reference to sowing seeds is that a crop is inevitable. The aforementioned scripture makes it plain, you will reap what you sow. However, the challenge with regulating our lives by this principle is our lack of understanding of the dynamics of sowing. Once you understand the dynamics of sowing, whether you're sowing good seeds or bad seeds, you'll have a better understanding of how the system works.
The principle that Christianity has often espoused is the concept of "Seed-Time-Harvest." A lot of times when I've heard this principle mentioned, it's like "seed-time" is one word; conceptually, this is incorrect. When it comes to the dynamics of sowing, you have three distinct components: Seed, Time, and Harvest. It's the time component that gets us off track.
When a seed is placed in the ground, it takes time for it to bear fruit. In our microwave society, the challenge of having to wait for something to produce appears to be foreign to our spirit, even in the church. But patience is the key in embracing the dynamics of sowing.
There are many Christians right now that are frustrated. You've sown seeds financially, you've sown seeds sacrificially, you've sown seeds ministerially, and you're asking God "how long?"
Saints, understand what's going on, your seed is still germinating. And when a seed is still in germination, the process takes place UNDERGROUND. You can't witness the activity of what's causing the seed to develop into what it's ordained to be, because the process is taking place underground, beneath the surface, underneath dirt.
That's why saints, when you're dealing with God, you have to have faith, because you're not going to be able to track the progress of the development and manifestation of the seeds you've sown. You've got to trust God that you will reap in due season (Galatians 6).
Saints, I want to declare to you today that our time has come. The season for manifestation and demonstration is upon us. So be patient and cast not away your confidence and hope in God (Hebrews 10). Don't give up and don't give out. If you're waiting for your harvest and the promises of God, remain patient and expectant to receive the fruit of the dynamics of dowing.
Prayer
Father in Heaven, we thank You for blessing us with the faith and obedience to sow seeds according to Your divine direction for our lives. We ask Father, in the name of Jesus, that you grant us the faith, the patience and the perseverance to trust that at Your appointed time, the promises we've received from You will manifest to the glory of thy Name. We claim it Father, and we count it done, in Jesus' Name, Amen.
