All of us are sowers and reapers. What must we sow to be happy harvesters?

First, sow the seed of the Gospel. The Bible contains many pictures of witnessing (II.Cor.5:20; Zech.3:2; Matt.4:19, 5:14). Reaching people with the Gospel is like farming. It requires cooperation, because one sows and other reaps. Are you a part of the harvest? We need to pray for the harvesters. You may be weeping today over unsaved loved ones, but one day you will rejoice. Those who sow Gospel will be happy harvesters.

Second, sow your wealth to the glory of God. The way we use our money is like sowing seed. We reap in the measure that we sow (II.Cor.9:6-11). Many people are wasting money on foolish things, while missionaries are waiting for support, and churches are waiting to be built or expanded. Paul says we can be a happy harvesters if we sow the seed bountifully.

Third, sow to the Holy Spirit of God Gal.6:6-8, 5:16-23). How do we do this? We take the things of the Spirit and put them into our hearts. When we memorise and meditate on the Word of God (Ps.119:11), we cultivate a spiritual harvest. The heart is like a garden, so we must weed it. That’s repentance. Take time to be holy, to pray, to meditate on the Word and to plant the seed in your heart.
