Reaping What We Sow!
REAPING WHAT WE SOW!

Life’s measure of one’s experiences and blessings does not count to the mere fact of receiving it but, in the way how you have put on it or work hard on it. God’s blessing comes intentionally when you yourselves implant what God wants and follow his will unquestionably.

It has been written on Galatians 6: 9 – 10 that “ Let us not become weary in doing good, for at the proper time we will reap a harvest if we do not give up. Therefore, as we have the opportunity, let us do good to all people, especially to those who belong to the family of believers.” Doing good to mankind is one way of our service to God. Yes, it is! But so fallibly put into actions, come to ponder it.. Christians as we are, still fall into human nature of deception and loss the battle of grasping the opportunity God has giving us. That’s us into our very own nature, but if God sits on the throne of our life, taking the very center of our focus, coming to our daily walk of life, still we can stand life’s offering and tests.

God has its own special way of intervening our inner being, yet we take hold of our own decisions and matter of facts. It has been said that Life transformations takes not an overnight snap of a finger, but a thorough process, slowly refining into an exemplar of becoming God’s ambassador in reaching out the non believers..

As I have quoted in the daily wisdom, there are two methods of planting. One is sowing seeds with meticulous care, making a hole in the ground for each little seed, or broadcasting the seeds, allowing them to till and land where they will.

With Either of the method, if we sow the fruits of the Holy Spirit ( Galatians 5:22 ), then that is pleasant, good results will also come within us, However, I believe if we broadcast seeds of God's love when we live the life He has planned for us. Inasmuch, we exhibit these seed all the time- especially in our homes and workplaces. Foremost, we must always ask the Holy Spirit to live

    All throughout generations, humans have desired to know what to put their faith into when it appears that God is not there. To Louie Zamperini, he finds that if he does not put his trust in the Lord and does not ask to be saved, that he would surely be put to death. Through Laura Hillenbrand’s Unbroken, pastor Billy Graham displays how impactful God is through maintaining faith and how to live that life through Him: “What God asks of men, said Graham, is faith. His Invisibility is the truest test of that faith. To know who sees him, God makes himself unseen.” (Hillenbrand 190)…

    After several years of work in Uganda with children in jails, Goff received a phone call, which he believed was a joke, to become the american counsel for the Republic of Uganda. Goff was shocked by the offer and was unsure if this was a good job for him to accept at that point in his life. He thought that he could continue mission trips, donations, and ministry instead of being the counsel. He prayed and realized that there was a greater reasoning behind this offer and God would not have placed him in the position without a plan. Goff accepted the offer realizing he was called to love the Ugandans and say, “we were all meant to save lives; God is always trying to save lives and he uses the least likely people to do it” (Goff 66). Goff learned through this experience that the devil constantly tries to twist one’s own thoughts to take the easier path. If Goff had declined the offer and continued mission trips and donating instead, he would have been taking the easy route and avoiding God’s plan. He would have still been helping people, but not for the right reasons, which is fulfilling God’s purpose. God calls the most unlikely people to do the most extraordinary things. Sometimes, people are called to do things that flip their whole life upside down. Deciding to put oneself in vulnerable situations is a hard to do because people do not want to be in a situation where they could fail, but God will not put someone in a position that will destroy him. Many people believe in goodness through works, but goodness is only achieved when fulfilling Christ’s purpose in one’s life. Choosing the easy path does not stretch one’s character or growth, but choosing the right path comes with great reward in heaven, but no always on earth. Striving to be like God and live out his plan impacts people…

    The pursuit of effective discipleship is a lifelong calling that requires every resource one can ever muster (Barna 2001, p99). Discipleship must be intentional with the goal of imparting life transformation. Without planning, an attempt at imparting biblical knowledge may turn into a “society for protecting, preserving, and propagating pet theological hobby horses” (Aldrich, 1981).…

    This mission reminds us that for the Kingdom of God to continue to break in, individual lives need to be changed, while being motivated and equipped for transformation. Our Book of Discipline offers this cue: “God has used our church to save persons, heal relationships, transform social structures, and spread scriptural holiness, thereby changing the world.” When we change lives and introduce people to the all-loving nature of God, we indeed transform the world. When making disciples, the Church welcomes people into community, educates them on God’s call for Christians, and equips them toward using their spiritual gifts to serve as change agents playing a role in bringing about the Kingdom of…

    In one of the most famous sermons ever preached, “Sinners in the Hands of an Angry God”, preacher, Jonathan Edwards, tries to persuade the ‘sinful’ people to realize that God is real and that they have to live ‘purely’, as in to live as a true Christian who is devoted to God. Because of God’s Wrath, his judgement, on all people, will be more painful and fearful than expected by many people around the world. Throughout his sermon, Edwards wants describe to them about how God treats us, views us, and handles us with care throughout our pitiful lives as ‘sinful’ people. But, in order to preach such a powerful, complicated topic to the whole world, he first must use several persuasion tactics to make his audience realize what they are doing with their everyday lives. By using these tactics, he successfully creates a portentous tone and fearful mood throughout his sermon.…

    Men of God’s calling have spent years studying scripture and spent thousands of dollars at universities and colleges attempting to learn the truth of God’s word. They study to not only validate their own faith but to have that boldness that the apostles demonstrated as they followed the last command of Jesus, to spread the gospel thought all the world. Their mission is to counsel, to instruct, to teach, to explain and to lay the foundation of belief for the eternal reward of salvation. Their integrity is laid on the line, one slip and all the good they have produced with sincere intentions and devotions could be lost in the twinkle of an eye. What motivates a man to do good and what tempts him to turn from the truths that he teaches and believes in himself? We will examine a few ethical and moral traps that have snared many of God’s servants in today’s society.…

    The Evangelistic ministry design, will take the unchurched back to the beginning of the Bible, from Genesis to Revelations, and allow God to take on the battle of any given concern of lostness, hurt, or the pain of life, at any stage. The unchurched of the community then expects the miracles that only God is capable of, through faith, to heal and address added concerns.33 Bible-based counselors of the evangelist ministry will teach adults who find themselves in a situation where life has become unbearable and in some cases overwhelming, well-studied coping methods. Unfortunately, the Christian who seeks counseling, encounters the how, who, what, and why God is, has been challenged.

    Colossians 2 Summary

    • 3 Pages

    He has called the people to rid themself of old sinful habits and those things that are unpleasing to God and set their minds to things above such as furthering the kingdom of God in the midst of earthly activities. God granted us the ability for a new reconciled life with Him and He doesn’t leave it to the individual alone to figure out how to rid themselves of their old sinful nature, He allows the Holy Spirit to be filled into our lives. When the people have put to death their old self they are then able to be rooted in the identity of Christ and become more of the person God has called them to be. The people can do that through Colossians 3:12 of being grounded in compassion, kindness, humility, gentleness, and patience. Paul provides an outline in this passage, for people to be seeking the above/heavenly things because we have been raised with Christ and our identities are secured and hidden in God. “In this passage Paul defines Christian character rather than prescribes rules to obey. For him, morality is a matter of what sort of person one becomes in Christ, where one “puts on” the capacity for doing good that God has willed. Therefore, believers are transformed by the working of divine grace into people who have character to do God’s will”…

    How to Grow a Garden

    • 457 Words
    • 2 Pages

    It takes a lot of time and hard work to grow a garden. First you would have to start out small. You don’t want to bit off more than you can chew, or hoe. Like , if you plant a huge garden, you’ll wish that you didn’t because of the hard work. Next, you must choose a location that receive as much sunlight as possible throughout the day. After you have located a spot to grow your garden, you should examine the soil. You will want to see if the ground is rich in top soil. Sometimes the ground can seem like its rich in top soil but it can be sand or clay. The spot that you choose also needs good drainage. Vegetables will not grow on poorly drained soil, even if you use the best fertilizer money can buy. The next step to have a successful garden is making the rows. This way your vegetables can spread out evenly and balanced throughout growth. It is easier to make out rows now than back then in the early 1900’s. People now use a tiller plow rather than plowing with a mule. So this was a turning point in technology. The next step is the preparation of the rows. You might first clean out the plot, remove all grass, weeds, vines, and any other wild grass that needs to be remove. Then you have the fertilization of the plot. There are many different methods of fertilizing a garden. The most common of them are organic fertilizer, ammonium nitrate, and triple thirteen. My suggestion to you as a farmer my self is to use the triple thirteen. It is the best out of the three to start out with. The next step in the gardening process is to select the type of seeds that you would like to plant. There are lots of seeds that that you can choose from when planting a garden. I only plant my favorites. I love to plant corn tomatoes, okra, peppers, peas,…

    It is important to develop a biblically based theory of Christian counseling that integrates psychology, spirituality, and theology. This model must be flexible enough to incorporate non-believers, while attempting to gently facilitate a personal relationship with God in both believers and non-believers alike. It is the author’s intent to develop an integrative theory by using techniques proved valid by science, in conjunction with theological truth. This integrated approach will take into account personality structure, motivation, development, and worldview to devise a plan of change for clients. This process will allow the author to determine the appropriate amount of integration necessary in treating each client on an individual basis. Organizing the author’s own personal theory will improve decision making and growth. This essay will serve as a launching pad for the author to identify individual areas of strength and development.…
