 We Always Reap In A Different Season Than When
We Sow
 God Is Our Source
Deuteronomy 8:18 - “Always remember the Lord your God, for
it is he who gives you the ability to produce wealth.”
Ecclesiastes 3:1 - There is a right time for everything…A time
to plant; A time to harvest;
 We Must Plant More Than A Few Seeds
 Honor God First
Mark 4:4 - And it happened, as he sowed, that some seed fell
by the wayside; and the birds of the air came and devoured
it. And some seed fell among thorns; and the thorns grew up
and choked it, and it yielded no crop…
Proverbs 3:9-10 - “Honor the Lord by giving Him the first part
of all your income, and He will fill your barns ... to overflow!”
Deuteronomy 14:23 - “The purpose of tithing… is to teach you
always to put God first in your life.”
 We Will Always Reap More Than We Sow
Mark 4:7-8 - But other seed fell on good ground and yielded a
crop that sprang up, increased and produced: some thirtyfold,
some sixty, and some a hundred.”
The Law of Sowing and Reaping
Galatians 6:7 - …for whatever a man sows, that he will also
reap.
Proverbs 11:18 - “The wicked man earns deceptive wages but
he who sows righteousness will be certain to reap a reward.”
 We Can Increase Our Harvest By Planting More
Seed
2 Corinthians 9:6 - “Remember this: Whoever sows sparingly
will also reap sparingly, and whoever sows generously will
also reap generously…
Principals of Sowing and Reaping
 Everything Starts As A Seed
Genesis 1:11 - “Let the land have seed-bearing plants and
trees that bear fruit with seed in it according to their varieties.”
Job 8:7 - “Though what you start will seem small and
insignificant, you’ll end up in the future with much.”
 Nothing Happens Until A Seed Is Planted
John 12:24 - I assure you, most solemnly I tell you, Unless a
grain of wheat falls into the earth and dies, it remains [just one
grain;]. But if it dies, it produces many others and yields a rich
harvest.

deepest hungers to You. Help me today to begin retraining my habits so
that they help me to grow spiritually. I ask this sincerely through Jesus
Christ, our Lord & Savior, Who lives & reigns with You & the Holy Spirit,
one God, forever. Amen.”
