We are called to be intentional about our Christianity! We must be determined to experience the fullness of God in every area of our Christian life and never to settle for a shallow, lackluster relationship with Almighty God! God will bless us according to how we respond to His invitations. If He finds us in a generous heart that willingly and freely gives what it has to others, then God responds to us in like manner.
"But this I say: He who sows sparingly will also reap sparingly, and he who sows bountifully will also reap bountifully." 2 Corinthians 9:6.
When Paul encouraged the believers in Corinth to help the Christians in Jerusalem, he promised them that if they would sow generously, they would reap a generous return from God. This truth hold life-changing potential for us also. If we invest everything we have in our relationship with God, we will experience the full dimensions of being children of God. If our desire is to know God more intimately, and if we spend ample time studying His Word, God will generously enrich our relationship with Him. If we discipline ourselves to remain in prayer even when the praying is difficult, He will reward us with a deeper, more powerful prayer life. If we reconcile any broken relationships and prepare our hearts before worship, and if we participate fully and reverently in every part of worship, God promises the we will meet Him and our lives will be changed!
My question to you is: Why is it that some Christians grow more rapidly in their faith and others remain unchanged year after year? The answer is because our maturity in Christ is deeply affected by what we sow. Sow sparingly, God sows sparingly. Sow bountifully, well, you know the rest. We need to choose to sow generously in everything we do in our lives and in our faith. The harvest we will reap will be Christlikeness! Plan on doing more sowing?
