I WANT TO SOW GOOD SEED!

-










I grew up in the city and didn't know a lot about farming.I would visit my cousins who lived in the 
rural part of our county. They worked in tobacco 
fields during the summer.They used their money
to buy new school clothes. Their earnings helped 
the family since my uncle had 5 teenagers which
ranged from age 13 to 18!

I remember my Sunday school teacher discussing sowing good behavior. The good children got an 
extra treat. I attended Bible Study and it became clearer how important reaping and sowing was to God.The Bible talks a lot about reaping and sowing.  Sometime the reaping and sowing is literal when it
is talking about planting seed and harvest time. The Bible also discusses reaping and sowing as relates to your behavior. 

I am concerned with the reaping and sowing in the figurative sense. My mom told us that we would get
a treat if we acted nice and was obedient.Today, I'm 
sharing some scriptures that explain how reaping and sowing relates to your behavior.





MATTHEW 7:12 
Therefore, whatever you want men to do to you, do also to them, for this is the Law and the Prophets.

MARK 12:31

 And the second, like it, is this: ‘You shall love your neighbor as yourself.’There is no other commandment greater than these.”

GALATIANS 6:7  

Do not be deceived, God is not mocked; for whatever a man sows, that he will also reap. 


2 CORINTHIANS 9:6-8


6 But this I say: He who sows sparingly will also reap sparingly, and he who sows bountifully will also reap bountifully. 
7 So let each one give as he purposes in his heart, not grudgingly or of necessity; for God loves a cheerful giver.
8 And God is able to make all grace abound toward you, that you, always having all sufficiency in all things, may have an abundance for every good work.

DEPICTION OF JONAH RUNNING AWAY FROM THE LORD I was doing Bible study one night and it became clear to me that, Noah, Moses, Jonah, Deborah, Jael, Lydia, Seller of Purple, Rehab, The Twelve Disciples, and Paul were all CALLED by God. The Lord may require  some people to carry out a special task.There will be others that may be required to minister His Word and  travel around the world as a missionary.      This week I'll share scriptures about different men  and women that were called by the Lord. Some of these people were rebellious and did not want to answer His call.  All eventually did the Lord's will. Today, I will share scriptures which discuss that the Lord CALLED a man named Jonah.  He did not want to answer the Lord's call and ran away.  There were consequences to Jonah's actions. The Lord's will did prevail. He did go to Nineveh. JONAH 1: 1-4, 6-9, 12, 15-17 1  Now the word of the Lord came to Jonah the

DEPICTION OF RAHAB OF JERICHO I was doing Bible study one night and it became clear to me that, Noah, Moses, Jonah, Deborah, Jael, Lydia, Seller of Purple, Rehab, The Twelve Disciples, and Paul were all CALLED by God. The Lord may require  some people to carry out a special task.There will be others that may be required to minister His Word and  travel around the world as a missionary.   This week I'll share scriptures about different men  and women that were called by the Lord. Some of these people were rebellious and did not want to answer His call.  All eventually did the Lord's will. Today, I'll share scriptures which show how  a prostitute named  Rahab was used to help  Joshua's spies. Joshua, son of Nun, became  the ruler for the Israelites after Moses died. The Bible also tells us that the Lord is "not a respecter of persons"and accepts all who will respect him. It can be His will to use a harlot (prostitute)

DEPICTION OF ADAM & EVE WITH THEIR CHILDREN I say thank you to PBS for featuring TV shows  on researching your family tree by Heny Louis Gates, Jr.  The show was called, "Finding Your Roots". I enjoyed this show and and eventually became very good at family tree research. Genealogy was important during Bible days and the Bible book of Genesis gives us several family trees. Today I am showing Adam and Eve’s family tree. GENESIS 2: 18, 22-24 18  And the Lord God said, “ It is not good that man should be alone; I will make him a helper comparable to him. 22  Then the rib which the Lord God had taken from man He made into a woman, and He brought her to the man. 23  And Adam said: “This is now bone of my bones And flesh of my flesh; She shall be called Woman, Because she was taken out of Man.” 24  Therefore a man shall leave h
