THE GREATEST SPIRITUAL LAW

If I asked you, “what is the greatest Spiritual Law?”  
What would your answer be?

You might ask, what is a spiritual law?  Simply stated, it is a rule or pattern that can be applied to everything in the universe.

Now I ask you again, “what is the greatest Spiritual Law?”  

The greatest spiritual law is the law of SEEDTIME AND HARVEST.

The first thing you need to understand about the law of seedtime and harvest is this:

​EVERYTHING THAT HAPPENS ON PLANET EARTH REVOLVES AROUND THIS LAW - including the events in your life.

Or to put it another way, the seeds you sow determine how far you go – especially in God’s plan for your life.
In order to understand this law, we need to go back to the book of Genesis where everything began:

Genesis 1:27-29 So God created man in His own image; in the image of God He created him; male and female He created them. 28 Then God blessed them, and God said to them, “Be fruitful and multiply; fill the earth and subdue it; have dominion over the fish of the sea, over the birds of the air, and over every living thing that moves on the earth.”  29 And God said, “See, I have given you every herb that yields seed which is on the face of all the earth, and every tree whose fruit yields seed; to you it shall be for food.

Notice the last word of the scripture is food.  It can also mean provision.  God is saying, I have given you every herb that yields seed which is on the face of all the earth, and every tree whose fruit yields seed; to you it shall be for your provision.”  

It’s clear that God intended for us to make provision for our lives by sowing.  The act of sowing not only makes provision for us and sustains us, it also represents what we are and what we do.  We are sowers and we sow.

You may work as a mechanic; you may be a teacher; perhaps you are a doctor.  But from God’s perspective, although you may be gifted in your vocation (in other words, your job, or career), the work that you do is not how He intends for you to sustain your life or something you do to earn a living.  God intends for our jobs to provide a means for us to earn a giving.  Pastor has taught us that.  Our jobs are nothing more than a means for us to have seed to sow.  

Don’t brush me off now!  Stay with me!  This is probably new to most of us.  Notice I said us.  We cannot limit ourselves to a paycheck because we were created to be sowers.  Our income is determined by our sowing, not by what we get paid.

You might say, I don’t have several avenues for additional income, or I’m on a fixed income.  Although we don’t realize it, when we make statements like that, we are actually limiting ourselves by our confession.  Well, if we’ll do what the Word of God says, we can change some things.  And the first step is making the decision to become a sower.
