Understanding the Sabbath
Today’s Focus: Principal of Sowing: The Seeds and their Fruit
Scripture: Throughout the Message
Greetings Kingdom Citizens
These some of the many seeds you can sow and the fruit that they can yield.
1. Obedience – Rest (Hebrews 4:4-6)
2. Humility – Promotion (Matthew 23:12)
3. Nothing – Laziness, Decay and Deterioration (Ecclesiastes 10:18)
4. Gossip – Strife (Proverbs 20:3; Proverbs 26:20)
5. Iniquity and Lawlessness – Sorrow (Jeremiah 30:15)
6. Rebellion – Barrenness (Romans 6:23)
7. Deception – Concealment (2 Timothy 3:5,6)
8. Revelation – Next Level of Glory (2 Corinthians 3:16-18)
9. Gifts – Friends (Proverbs 19:6)
10. Honor – Grace (Proverbs 1:7-9)
Now as you can see some of these are good seeds and others are not. This is why we must understand how important Galatians 6:7 is when Paul stresses that God is not mocked. Whatever we sow, in due season we will reap. This is why we must be careful who we yield our members to. The Scriptures say:
James 4:7,8: Submit yourselves therefore to God. Resist the devil, and he will flee from you. Draw nigh to God, and He will draw nigh to you. Cleanse your hands, ye sinners; and purify your hearts, ye double minded.
With all of this said up to this point, let’s get a foundation for understanding the Sabbath. You may wonder why did we go all this way around? We needed to go to understand the problem we have SPIRITUALLY so that once we get the members in our body together we then can proceed to hear and understand God clearly. Many people fail to look spiritually and hence when a spiritual situation arises they will use logic to try to find a solution and the situation really requires divine intervention.
Peace, Love and Grace from the Father,
