5. Get On the Good Side of Divine Principles

Laws or principles are events that happen with consistency when certain conditions are present. Newton discovered the law of gravity when he observed that an apple never falls upward but always downward. God designed and built this law into creation, and it is of universal application.

Laws can be used to make predictions about events. Because, all things being equal, that event will occur the same way again and again.

Just as there are natural laws, there are also spiritual laws that govern the moral universe. And as the natural, these spiritual laws are consistent. We must obey them, or there’ll be consequences.

One major spiritual principle we all MUST know and operate to our advantage is the Biblical law of reciprocity, or what we call the principle of sowing and reaping. This is an established principle revealed by God's word. Galatians‬ ‭6:7‬ says, “Be not deceived; God is not mocked: for whatsoever a man soweth, that shall he also reap.” This is immutable. You cannot sow one thing and reap the opposite.

To help His disciples get on the good side of this law, Jesus had taught them, “And just as you want men to do to you, you also do to them likewise.” Luke‬ ‭6:31‬ ‭NKJV‬‬.
Similarly, Paul followed up by admonishing his audience to do the same: “And let us not be weary in well doing: for in due season we shall reap, if we faint not. As we have therefore opportunity, let us do good unto all men, especially unto them who are of the household of faith.” Galatians‬ ‭6:9-10‬.

This shows that we are all sowers and reapers, like it or not. And this truth is as sure as the reality of day and night. It affects the rich just as it impacts the poor.
The smart ones use it to their own advantage, while the foolish neglect it to their peril. It is a law, and none can escape its effect. Mock it or sideline it, your life will answer to its verdict ultimately. As a matter of fact the sum total of your experiences today, success or failure, is the result of the seeds you sowed in the previous years. Your tomorrow is what you make of it with the kind of seeds you sow today. So, put out only good seeds people, lots of it.

Other elements of this law to note includes:

* You are responsible for your harvest. You reap what you sow. So, you can change your harvest by changing what you sow.

* You reap more than you sow. Because, a seed always produces many seeds in return. Even the Bible speaks of some that have sown the wind, that they shall reap the whirlwind (Hosea‬ ‭8:7)‬. So, whatever you sow, you reap a harvest of it, in abundance.

* You are always sowing something. It may be a word, an action, a thought, an imagination - all are seeds. The Bible calls injustice a seed, and says those who sow it will reap calamity”. Proverbs‬ ‭22:8‬ ‭ESV‬‬.

* We reap later than we sow. It may take a while. But you'll definitely reap what you sow.

* We reap until we have harvested what we have sowed.

Remember! Regardless of what’s going on in the world right now, you remain the author of your own harvest. You will get out of this year in abundance, exactly what you put into it. I saw this cartoon in one of my office emails, and I thought it illustrated what the Lord laid on my heart here:

Welcome to another blessing of a day Brethren!

Yesterday we looked at our place/ stance in these beginning days so to say
Today we will be looking at Who we have got with us here -
From our foundation….
- _What then shall we say to these things? … If God be for us who can be against us? Rom 8 Vs 31- NIV_

- _But the advocate, the Holy Spirit, whom the father will send in my name, will teach you all things and will remind you of the things the father has said to you. John 14 vs 26
- If you love me, keep my commands, And I will ask the father, and he will give you another advocate to help you and be with you forever - - the spirit of truth John 14 vs 15-17
- Don’t be afraid, They that are with us are more than they with them – 2Kings 6 vs 16 NIV
- Greater is He that is in us than he that is in the world – 1 John 4 vs 4 NIV

Building on our foundation…. we have
- Though one may be overpowered. A three stranded cord cannot be easily broken- Ecc 4 vs 12
The gift of family and friends to share our way...
- As iron sharpens iron so one person sharpens another – Prov 27 vs 17
What if I am an introvert – I don’t have many friends…? thank God for the sweet fellowship of the Holy Spirit at our disposal!
What if I don’t have family…I am yet to be married- note the words- yet to be married –still... thank God for the sweet fellowship of the Holy Spirit at our disposal!

Wether introverted, extroverted, with family and friends or without, the truth of God’s will, purpose and provision for each of us remains the same -

He has given us all things that partain to life and godliness…having promise of life here on earth and in the world to come!
So , in essence the rewards of our godliness, righteousness is not only to be looked forward to in heaven but to be enjoyed here on earth…all to His glory!

How do we activate this?

In the beginning the earth was
1. without form and void,
2. Darkness covered the face of the earth
3. The Holy Spirit hovered over all of the formless, dark, void
God saw all these – facts. What did He do?
He called forth His desire – Let there be light
And what happened?
And there was light!

So let’s again take a cue afresh from our father God
1. Invite the Holy Spirit to Hover afresh on “that situation”,
2. acknowledge the Lord as God in it (Do not lean on your own understanding, in all your ways acknowledge the Lord as God and He will make straight your paths)
3. Then speak your desired result (according to God’s will) Remember- when we pray
according to His will He hears us and He answers us. Pls note this is not "name it, claim it…". This is recreating your world!
Oh blessed be our God!

Looking forward to tomorrow.
Have a great day of pulling into your reality God's finished work and purpose for your every situation. Surely Jesus is Lord over All.
I bid you to Rejoice in The Lord, Again I say Rejoice!


Cheers All.

*Day 2*

Good morning Brethren,

Today, we will be looking at our place in relation to being able to birth aright at New Beginnings. An anchor for birthing without limits is understanding and taking hold of the Word of God for the season. As we envision the days ahead culminating in the year we are in, anchoring on the scripture below would be apt and rewarding -

_God is able to do far exceedingly abundantly above all that we can ask, think or imagine, according to His power that is at work within us, that same Power that raised Christ from the dead - Eph 3 Vs 20-_ Paraphrased
Blessed be our God!

*Your place*
It is explicit in scripture that
Christ is seated in heavenly places far above principalities and powers…and we are seated alongside Him.
What kind of understanding of this do you… do we have? Is this a fiction of our imagination, a product of our desire, or a far off hope which chants ever so often…"one day I will" …?
Not so brethren! Being
seated alongside Christ this very moment is our reality!
This is not something that needs to be hoped for or…looked forward to…
It is something that already happened! It is more real that your next meal or the fulfilment of that plan in your heart.

Let us re-read our life’s reality here! I am excited!

_As for you, you were dead in your transgressions and sins, 2 in which you used to live when you followed the ways of this world and of the ruler of the kingdom of the air, the spirit who is now at work in those who are disobedient. 3 All of _us also lived among them at one time, gratifying the cravings of our flesh[a]_ _and following its desires and thoughts. Like the rest, we were by nature deserving of wrath. 4 But because of his great love for us, God, who is rich in mercy, 5 made us alive with Christ even when we were dead in transgressions—it is by grace you have been saved. 6 And_ God raised us up with Christ and seated us with him in the heavenly realms in Christ
Jesus, 7 in order that in the coming ages he might show the incomparable riches of his grace, expressedin his_ kindness to us in Christ Jesus. 8 For it is by grace you have been saved, through faith—and this is not from yourselves, it is the gift of God— 9 not by works, so that no one can boast. 10 For we are God’s handiwork, created in Christ Jesus to do good works, which God prepared in advance for us to do.

Oh Halleluyah!

Our reality is fab! Let’s Live it!

I attended a sister’s funeral service some months back via zoom and it was a life impacting experience. The highlight for me was what I would term a brave choice of “A New beginning”.
I had listened intently as her first son gave his tribute- it was of course laden -full -of emotion, stops and starts…trembling voice, a deep longing for this cup to pass over him shone through his “speech”…, so did the unimaginable pain he would have been feeling saying bye to his Mum…then, he couldn’t finish his speech…he kind of gave up his attempt and handed up his attempt and handed the microphone to the next speaker.
A number of people spoke and that part of the programme was about to be rounded up when suddenly, this young man came back to the stage and got hold of the microphone….again
His voice somehow seemed changed. He suddenly had a subtle smile and went on to deliver another speech!
He started with something like “I changed my mind”. I think my Mum would have me deliver a better speech. Yes, I do miss her but she raised me to be strong. I want her to know her work was good…So I will start afresh and do this all over… At the end of this speech, although I guess all understood his disposition during his first speech and none would have condemned him for it… but for this second speech, he got a standing ovation.

I was watching on zoom. I must confess I did not stand but my heart saluted his gusty bravery, his choice of a comeback, his defying of protocol, his recognition that he could come back…give another go at it…he could do it over again. A new beginning.

As long as we have life a.k.a breath in our lungs, we still have a chance of that new beginning. In little things, in big things, in mundane things, in very important things…in things that mightn’t matter to any but you…in things that would matter to all…above all in things that matter to Christ our Lord.

Selah!

What can you (we, I) give another go at?
I look forward to continuing tomorrow.

Have a great day All.
