“Do not be deceived: God cannot be mocked. A man reaps what he sows”
Galatians 6:7 (NIV).
Seeds are being in sown in everything you do in life, either consciously or unconsciously and in every seed, is hidden a harvest. You sow seeds with your words, time, money, resources, and actions. Your seed can either be good seeds or bad seeds. What many people do not pay attention to is the kind of harvest those seeds will produce. Genesis 8:22 says, “While the earth remains, seedtime and harvest…shall not cease.” (AMPC). This is a kingdom principle; whatever seed you sow is the harvest you reap. Knowing that words are seeds, you must cultivate and sow the right words into your life and future to produce the right harvest. You cannot keep speaking negatively and expect to have an excellent life. For example, the Bible says let the weak say, “I am strong”, but if you keep saying “I am weak” because you feel weak, you shall surely harvest weakness. The things of God sound foolish to the natural man, but it is wisdom to the spirit man who is walking by faith. Align your words with the Word of God to make your way prosperous and have good success (Joshua 1:8).
Your life goes in the direction of your words, so speaking blessings and everything that God has said about you will produce the God-kind of harvest. Proverbs 15:4 says, “A wholesome tongue is a tree of life: but perverseness therein is a breach in the spirit.” A wholesome tongue is one that speaks life, health, righteousness, and prosperity which bears good fruits. Colossians 4:6 says, “Let your speech (your words) be always with grace, seasoned with salt, that ye may know how ye ought to answer every man.” Your life today is the harvest of all the words you’ve been speaking. Therefore, always speak righteousness, peace, and joy in the Holy Spirit; this is the kingdom life (Romans 14:17). When you express yourself through words, whether you are sad, joyful, or angry, be mindful of the harvest. Sow seeds of love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, gentleness, faithfulness, and self-control. (Galatians 5:22-25)
