“Sow to the Spirit”

“Sow to the Spirit”

Blessings folk!

Yesterday we saw that we are to share all good things with those who bring forth good teaching of the Word in our lives…

Gal 6:6
Let the one who is taught the word share all good things with the one who teaches.

Now, read the very next verses.

Gal 6:7-8
Do not be deceived: God is not mocked, for whatever one sows, that will he also reap.

For the one who sows to his own flesh will from the flesh reap corruption,
but the one who sows to the Spirit will from the Spirit reap eternal life.

The warning is stark and sudden.

One moment an exhortation to share with those from whom you have received.
The next a warning.
Do not be deceived.
A command,
An instruction.
A warning.
Something that we have responsibility over.
We are not to be deceived.

Deceived in what way?

The next statement helps.
“God is not mocked”!

One can not deceive God.
He knows the intent and purposes of our heart.
He knows why we “sow seed”.

If we sow to our own flesh, we will reap fleshly corruption.
If we sow to the Spirit, from the Spirit we will reap eternal life.

Too many “give” to “my/our church” under a supposed spiritual but actually a fleshly desire.

Just listen to the language used…”my church”, “our church”, “what are we to do?”, “get people to come to church”, etc. etc.

Sow to the Spirit.
All else will be added.
