The Laws Of Almighty God (2 Of 5)

Such is the case with the scientific LAW OF GRAVITY.

For the law of gravity says, “What goes up must come down.”

It does not matter who throws something up in the air, the law of gravity says the results will be the same every time for everyone. If this was not true, then the law of gravity would not be a law.

Then there are God’s laws of sowing and reaping.

• If a farmer sows' corn seeds, he will reap corn every time regardless of who sows it.

• If a farmer sows squash seeds, he will reap squash every time regardless of who sows it.

God’s spiritual laws of “Sowing and Reaping” work the same way for everyone.

THAT IS AN ABSOLUTE FACT!!!

The LAWS OF ALMIGHTY GOD IS THAT WE REAP WHAT WE SOW.

Today we want to consider another LAW OF ALMIGHTY GOD…THE LAW OF SOWING AND REAPING.

This law of SOWING AND REAPING that I want to preach about it seems some do not believe that it works by the way they live their life.

The reasons that some think the LAW OF SOWING AND REAPING does not work is because they fail to recognize…

II. WE REAP IN A DIFFERENT SEASON THAN WE SOW.

That is they sowed some sinful seeds ten years ago and it seems like they have gotten away with it. THERE HAS NOT BEEN ANY REAPING FROM THEIR SOWING!!!

But they fail to realize a farmer can sow seeds today, but they do not reap those seeds until much later.

Illus: A wealthy man became very sickly and deeded all his property to his only son and his wife on the condition he would be allowed to live with them for the rest of his life.

However, after a few years, when the inheritance had been spent foolishly, the daughter-in-law got tired of having the elderly gentleman around and told her husband he would have to leave.

The son was reluctant, but finally agreed and broke the news to his father.

A short time later the son and the feeble old man were walking down a driveway that led to a state supported nursing home.

The old man saw a stump on the side of the driveway of the nursing home and he told his son he had to rest. As he sat there, he put his head in his hands and began to sob.

The son, already feeling bad about putting his father in a nursing home, put his hands on his father’s shoulders to comfort him.

Finally, his dad regained his composure and said, “I’m not crying so much because I’m going to this lonely home for the elderly. I’m weeping because of my own sins.

He continued to talk, he said, forty years ago I walked down this driveway with my father and brought him to the very same place. I am now REAPING the results of the evil deed I did to my father!”

The Words of ALMIGHTY GOD states His laws clearly teaches that…

1) WE REAP WHAT WE SOW

2) But we REAP IN A DIFFERENT SEASON THAN THE SEEDS WE SOW.

Every farmer can tell you that the harvest comes sometime later after the seeds have been sown.

That is, many folks have sown evil seeds years ago and since they have not reaped anything from those evil seeds in their estimation they have gotten away with it.

In fact, it happened so long ago they have forgotten about it, BUT God has not forgotten the evil seeds they sowed.

Illus: Perhaps you remembered when you were away from home and did something wrong and your dad said, “When I get you home, I am going to punish you for what you did!”

But sometime past before you arrived home, and you wished your dad had FORGOTTEN the promised he made!

God the FATER FORGIVES but God never FORGET!!!

God is omniscient. He knows everything, and He never forgets anything.

Illus: Have you ever forgotten something, and someone REMINDED you of something you did years ago, and it came back to your remembrance.

Every rotten sin that evil man has sowed in his/her life one day will remember…

• Every lied he/she has ever told

• Every excuse because he/she did not have time for God in his/her life.

• Every evil deed he/she did in his/her life.

For years they gave some excuse for their evil deeds to mankind and gotten away with mankind it seems!!!

But now as they stand before the OMNICIENT God of heaven who knows everything they ever did they can no longer get away with their evil with their flimsy excuses any longer.

God warned them in Galatians not to live their life in DECEPTION, but they chose to live such a life.
