SOWING THE RIGHT SEED
Hello Parishioners of the ever first church in the block chain #steemchurch, which was initiated by our amiable knight in no other than @sirknight. It is yet another day and I would like to share a piece of advice to us all. Today I will be talking about "sowing the right seed".

It is important in our lives today not only as christians but as true worshippers of the Gospel that what ever seed we plant or sow is what we will harvest or reap at the end,a good example is we planting yam at the beginning and cannot harvest potatoes at the end. This is a key fact that can not be changed or uttered by we humans ,as it has been said in the Bible:
GALATIANS 6: 7-9 (KJV) 7: Be not deceived; God is not mocked: for whatsoever a man soweth, that shall he also reap. 8: For he that soweth to his flesh shall of the flesh reap corruption; but he that soweth to the Spirit shall of the Spirit reap life everlasting. 9: And let us not be weary in well doing: for in due season we shall reap, if we faint not..What does the Bible tells us, it simply means that if we are to sow into the world (which is the flesh) that definitely we would reap corruption,why did it say so? Take for example, someone who invested most of his earnings on Earthly things without acknowledging the provider or the source of his /her wealth or knowing the fact that the wealth actually given to him is not just for him alone,but for the benefits for others (the less privilege, the poor,the needing) living around him,has sold a seed of a selfish man. And no one would most likely assist or lend a helping hand to him when he his in need of something else since he didn't care or assisted others in the times of need.

A good example from the Bible was the parable of the rich fool by our Lord Jesus Christ in the book of "Luke 12:16-21".
And he spoke a parable unto them saying, The ground of a certain rich man brought forth plentifully. 17- And thought within himself saying, what shall I do, because I have no room where to bestow my fruits? 18- And he said, This will I do; I will pull down my barns and build greater,and there will I bestow all my fruits and my goods. 19- And I will say to my soul,soul,thou hast much goods laid up for many years; take thine ease ,eat,drink and be merry 20- But God said unto him,Thou FOOL,this night thy soul shall be required of thee,then whose shall those things be , which thou hast provided? 21- So is he that layeth up treasure for himself,and is not rich towards GodIt can be learnt that the rich man only considered himself , thinking of how to acquire more, to become bigger,to expand his fruits barns without acknowledging the provider of his wealth. I do believe that how wish, he thought of the less privilege, the poor people living within him,I know that his life would have been spare .
On the other hand, It may not necessarily have to do with riches or investment before you know you are sowing a seed,you can sow a seed by our attitude,our thinking,our reasoning,our lifestyle. How we relate to others? Because what we do or say now to others , most times determines the outcome of our future. If we relates to people very well,we give out a good impression of ourselves (i.e sowing a seed of good impression ) to others around us.
In essence,we as christians,it is important to sow the right seed today so that we can reap a good one,as our amiable knight did @sirknight by creating or investing into the house of God bringing forth #steemchurch.If everyone of us in this world should sow the right seed, would you think that the devil would have his way in our world today,come to think of it? So my dear brothers and sisters in. Christ,I urge everyone of us here to amend our ways if we have not been sowing the right seed, so that on the last day we all will reap the good fruits it has bare forth.
THANKS FOR READING HOPE YOU WILL HAVE A RE-THINK OF OUR WAYS.
GOD BLESS US ALL!!!

Thanks for contributing to the church CJ. In the hebrew scriptures, the good news was likened to a seed a number of times. That is the kind of seed that should be planted in the hearts of men.

Yes, it is important that the right seed is been sow in our lives.
You made me think about my small farm for a minute. I have to check if the seeds look healthy before I plant. Thanks for the informative texts, one cannot plant one thing and expect another.
If you dont sow, you dont reap! If you also sow a wrong seed, you will reap unexpected produce! Sow the right seed! And reap good produce! Give alms to people.

That is just the basis of life
Psalm 126:6 - "He who goes out weeping, bearing the seed for sowing, shall come home with shouts of joy, bringing his sheaves with him."
It is imperative to sow a good seed but is more important to prepare a better ground foe tje seed,for aseed sown on a weeded land and unfertile land can bear no fruit,we must first distant our self from rhings rhat will affect us negatively.
Good post.
Whatever we are doing on earth is simply another means of sowing seeds.
So we ought to sow wisely on things that are eternal.
An insight into sowing at a right time and sowing the right kind of seeds also with the right kind of soil to which they can be sown on.
Thanks for this bro
We must what is good today so that we can reap what better tomorrow, as a Christian we live according to God's will today so that we can reap the kingdom of heaven tomorrow
The farmer only sows the seed and waters it, but it is the God of the harvest, the almighty God that gives it growth and cause it to bring out it's fruit in due season. Thank for sharing @cjofficial
