It's Happening!
NOTHING JUST HAPPENS
INTRODUCTION: In life, nothing just happens. There are laws that govern this physical, natural world. Likewise, there are laws that govern the spiritual world. A law is "an established principle". For example, the law of gravity will work for anyone who will get involved in the principles that govern gravity. If you climb on top of a high-rise building and step off the side, the law of .gravity will treat you the same as anyone else. The law of gravity, and its results, is established and will work for those who operate in its principles. The law of sowing is an established principle in the kingdom of God. Like gravity, it will work for anyone who will get involved in the principles that govern sowing in the spiritual world. The man who sows is also the man who is blessed, empowered to prosper (Isaiah 32:20; Acts 20:35). When you get on the giving side, you discover the path to receiving. You cannot receive, however, until you first of all give. No giving, no receiving. God is saying that only those who sow seeds will have a harvest. The law of sowing says that the harvest responds only to seed-not to prayer, fasting or position. Until seed is sown, harvest is not in view. God is not permitted to bring increase until a man has committed himself to sowing seeds. If there is to be a harvest, there must be seed sown. Every day you make a choice to either sow some of your seed or eat it. When you exercise faith and sow your seed, you release God's law of prosperity. When you give in to your fears and eat your seed, or hide it, you release God's law of poverty.
Remember these three points:
1. Sow seeds, and you will reap a harvest (2 Corinthians 9:6).
2. Do not look at your circumstances when you sow (Eccl. 11:4).
3. Sow regularly to every good work (Ecclesiastes 11:6).
Even unsaved farmers know that if they sow, they will reap. They know that they can reap only the kind of harvest they sow in the form of seed. Neither can they reap in the season in which they sow. Simply, sowing seed is not enough to produce a harvest. You must be very careful where you sow, Jeremiah 4:3 instructs us not to sow among thorns. Mark 4:1-8 tells of a sower (someone who makes his living by sowing) sowing four different times but only getting a harvest from one out of four types of ground. The harvest will come when you sow in good ground.
Child of God, Ecclesiastes 11:3 says, "If the clouds be full of rain, they empty themselves upon the earth…" Keep sowing until your cloud is full; then it will empty itself in your life with the blessings of God.
Read: Genesis 8:20-22; Isaiah 30:20; Acts 20:35, Eccl. 11:3-6; 2 Cor. 9:6;
Jer. 4:3; Mark 4:1-8
