The Laws of Sowing and Reaping: Personal Discipline and Fruitfulness

The Law

The Explanation

You will reap what you sow

Sow to the Spirit and reap God’s best

Transcend the harvest you have inherited

You will reap what others have sown

You reap the same in kind as what you sow

Choose wisely what you want to reap before you sow

You reap in proportion to what you sow Sow more to get more in return

You reap in a different season than when you sow

Learn to be patient as you await the harvest

It is going to be better or (worse) than you gave

You reap more than what you sow

You can always transcend last year’s harvest

God gives the growth, so trust in him alone

We cannot help but see that the [people] who have achieved wonders in modern science and technology are [people] of very great inner discipline. Not one has succeeded by following the path of least resistance.

Prayer and Affirmation to God

Do not be deceived: God is not mocked, for whatever one sows, that will he also reap. [8] 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. [9] And let us not grow weary of doing good, for in due season we will reap, if we do not give up. ~ Galatians 6.7-9
