The Bible says that God cannot be fooled, that whatever we sow, we shall reap. Implicit in this is the knowledge that we know what we are sowing. Seed sowing, like any other kind of kingdom work, is done with forethought and planning. Let's face it, when we sow seed we know exactly what we are sowing whether it be good or bad and you can rest assured that is what our harvest will be! But it is that word "whatever" that intrigues me. A farmer does not just sow seed without knowing what it is in hopes that cotton will grow. He knows that "whatever" he sows is what is going to grow. If we sow good seed, kingdom seed, that is what is going to grow. If we sow division and denominational seed that will be our harvest. If we sow seed of apathy . . . right, our reward will be apathy from God.
So I have decided that my seed must be more than just seed, it must be specific. How do I know what to sow? Well, what do you want to harvest? That is the seed you sow. If our harvest is growth and soul winning then that is what we sow by being continually in prayer about that and ever looking for opportunities to teach salvation through the blood of Jesus.
I am going to name my seed. Instead of having Kentucky31, I'm going to be sowing seed of growth. Gonna sow me some growth seed today! Tomorrow I may sow some tithing seed or prosperity seed or love seed! Get my point? Name your seed. If you do not know what you have sown how will you know when the harvest comes in?
Give these thoughts some consideration this week and we'll talk about it within the next couple of weeks.
