LIFE IS A GAME OF SOWING AND REAPING
Life is good; and it can be fun depending on your understanding of the salient principles of life. Life is interesting; and that interesting part of it is what will form our discussion today.

I find that the major thing that makes life very interesting is the fact that each person reaps what he or she sows. Sowing and reaping is a law of the natural world. On the third day of creation, God commanded the earth to bring forth living plants "bearing seed" and fruit "with seed in it" (Genesis 1:12). These plants were then given to man for food (verse 29). Ever since the beginning, man has understood the process of sowing and reaping and has applied it to his benefit. Sowing and reaping is also a law of the spiritual world. It is more than just an agricultural principle. It is an axiom of life that we reap what we sow. Galatians 6:7 says, "Do not be deceived: God cannot be mocked. A man reaps what he sows." There are natural consequences to our actions. The world operates under the law of cause and effect. There is no way around it: every time we choose an action, we also choose the consequences of that action.

Do not be fooled, then, by vain thoughts, which tend to deceive you into believing that your actions and words do not matter. Both your thoughts, words and actions are seeds, and you live through each day sowing these seeds knowingly or unknowingly. Some people don't want to hear about this; but the principles of life don't run on your mere wishes and or wants. These principles don't even consider your feelings, either. Rather as just as they are in their operations, they make sure you receive adequately what you sow, what you deserve. No "wayo or Baba Ijebu" dealings in this regard! In fact, I find that ignorance in this regard is highly detrimental. The principle of sowing and receiving works both positively and negatively. "The one who sows righteousness reaps a sure reward" (Proverbs 11:18b), but "whoever sows injustice reaps calamity" (Proverbs 22:8a). This sounds great, right? I sure love this. Just know that each time you are sowing injustice, anywhere and anyhow, you are certainly arranging for yourself the big bang--CALAMITY. This sure doesn't sound like something you want anywhere near your roof. And noteworthy is the fact that we reap proportionately to what we sow. This means the more seed planted, the more fruit harvested.

Yet the principle of sowing and reaping makes sure we reap more than what we sow. In other words, the law of sowing and reaping is related to the law of multiplication. Jesus spoke of seed that brought forth "a hundred, sixty or thirty times what was sown" (Matthew 13:. One grain of wheat produces a whole head of grain. In the same way, one little fib can produce an out-of-control frenzy of falsehoods, fallacies, and fictions. Sow the wind and reap the whirlwind (Hosea 8:7). Oops! That thing is a monster, and I believe you don't want it over your head. I bet this is getting more interesting. Yet, positively one kind deed can result in a blessing to last a lifetime.

Found throughout Scripture, the idea of sowing and reaping is an important principle imparting wisdom for both this world and the world to come. Today, they say, is the father of tomorrow. Ask questions and you'll be amazed how true this is. The point here is that what you are today is the result of what you have been thinking, saying, and the way you have lived in the past. You may be surprised to learn here that your yesterday has a way of projecting itself into your today, and how you manage your today will determine how your tomorrow will look like. This doesn't sound like one of those "receive it" junkies you're told from the pulpit, right? Wisdom knows her children; and bitter pills they say often carry curative powers.
Those who speak wisely today are sowing good and healthy seeds for tomorrow's harvest; and they will surely reap a bounty harvest of the good things of life that Words bring. This is so because inside every man lies the creative power of his Maker, who does most of his creation by spoken words. You are a creator man and the sooner you put this into your head the better for you. Jacob knew this very well. By spoken words he fashioned the destiny of all his twelve sons and to this day, it has remained just as he said it thousands of years ago. You may like to find this out for yourself, and it will amaze you to learn that all twelve of them ended up just as he said they would. The randy Reuben is an example. The big Ben hasn't found his place among his brethren till this day. This is a lesson for randy people; I have found that people like this often end up like the big uncle Reu.

Your words govern your world; hence, you are the product of what you have been saying. Ignorance is not an excuse here. Parents should be mindful of this because most careless parents very often speak very negatively of and to their children not knowing that those negative words have great forces trailing them to bring them to manifestation. Equally, your actions matter in the same way that your words do. Those who act wisely today will have wisdom to make wise and rewarding decisions tomorrow and as a result, theirs will be good breaks when tomorrow comes.
Acting wisely today, inter alia, gets you into rich relationships that will bring out the best in you. This is because no man is self-made. Relationship is one of the best gifts of God to us. The kind of relationship you keep today more than often influences your perception about life. Get into a relationship with people of depraved minds and sooner than later you'll have to reap a bad influence on your character, Do not be misled: "Bad company corrupts good character" 1 Cor 15:33. Your character is who you are. A BAD CHARACTER REPELS GOOD BREAKS. That being said, no single tree can make a forest. You need good people around you to become what destiny has drawn up for you. The relationships you keep today will determine whether or not you will become what God has destined you to be, how long it will take for its manifestation; and it is your actions that draws the kind of people you need to you. Wisdom seeks wisdom, the same with folly. You attract people that sow into life like you do. Be careful then how you so. Give heed to how you behave. Life is a game. You reap what you sow, don't forget! God bless you!
