The Art Of Sowing

Like in agriculture, in the kingdom of God the seed is in its loneliest state if it is alone. It cannot survive for a long time as long it is alone. Therefore, there is a proper place for it where it must be placed so as to produce.

The concept of sowing is important to the people of God. This is the concept which if Christians adhere to it will break the backbone of poverty. In the kingdom of God you do not save by storing or keeping it for yourself but you serve by sowing.

Everyone knows that if you do not plant anything you cannot reap. This is confirmed by the saying which goes like “you cannot reap what you did not sow”. The biblical teachings are going to be of great use in this topic.

In 2 Corinthians 9 verse 6 says “He which soweth sparingly shall reap also sparingly, he which soweth bountifully shall also reap bountifully”. This is what Paul taught the Christians at Corinth. This teaching is also relevant to us today. Try it today and see if God will not open the floodgates of heaven for your blessings.

Giving is another way of sowing or investing. I have highlighted in the beginning of this discussion that in the kingdom of God you do not save by storing.

 Many people hide behind some indisputable excuses and say that they do not have money to sow. Money is not only the seed people must sow. The men of God stresses much on sowing money because God is after things you do not want to give most. Some of those things is money.

There are many things you can sow with. You can sow by giving anything that you have. These can include all the material things that we have. Giving your time to God is one of the things you can use as a seed to God.

Giving is not a spiritual gift from God as many people say. The concept of giving must be practised by each and every one who is the child of God.

There are times when your seed speaks for you unto God. In Acts Chapter 10 Cornelious a centurion of the band called the Italian band gave much alms to the people, and pray to God always. God visited him one day and said that his prayers and alms have come into His memorial.

The list is endless. What we must bear in mind as people of God is that if we sow sparingly we shall also reap sparingly and if we sow bountifully we shall also reap sparingly.
