Be not deceived; God is not mocked: for
whatsoever a man soweth, that shall he also reap (Galatians 6:7).
The Lord Jesus, in narrating the
parable of the sower said, "A sower went out to sow his seed…" (Luke
8:5). Then in the eleventh verse, He explained that the seed the sower sowed
was the Word of God, letting us know that words are seeds.
We read in our opening verse that what
you sow is what you reap. If you sow good seeds (the right words) into your
life, they’ll produce the right results. You can’t sow corn seeds, for
instance, and expect to harvest mangos; every seed reproduces after its kind.
So, the question is, what words are you sowing into your life?
Words come to us when we listen to
other people, in messages that we receive from our environment, what we read,
watch etc. These words become seeds that are sown into our lives, reproducing
the character that we become. Who you are today is not an accident; it’s the
result of all the seeds (words) that have been sown into you all your life: by
those who took care of you while you were growing up, your environment, the
schools you attended, and all the information you received through your senses
of hearing and sight. How these words got into you isn’t so important;
what’s important is that they did, and today you’re the result of those words.
If those words (seeds) weren’t the
right ones, and you want to make adjustments, you have to introduce new
"seeds." You can’t make the adjustment by crying or regretting; you
can only do so by sowing the right words into you. Sow words of joy, peace and
love, and you’ll reap the same. Your life goes in the direction of your words.
If your words are excellent, your life will be excellent.
Stop your heart and ears from the wrong
words. The only words you should allow take root in your heart are words that
inspire, lift, bless and stir you in the direction of God’s perfect will.
Confession
The Lord perfects that which concerns
me! I’m the expression of His glory, grace, wisdom and righteousness. I walk in
preordained pathways today, and I make progress by the Word, living
triumphantly to the glory of His Name. Amen.
