#WordforToday 14 Nov 2018 Starve it to death

For he who sows to his flesh will of the flesh reap corruption, but he who sows to the Spirit will of the Spirit reap everlasting life. Galatians 6:8 NKJV

I found the above passage fascinating. I always find the word of Elohim fascinating anyway. I found it illuminating that it is possible to sow to the flesh or the Spirit.

Elohim set in place this universal principle of sowing and reaping. You sow into a soil. If the soil is fertile and receives necessary nutrients the seed germinates, grows and bring forth its fruit. If you sow to a soil that is not fertile, maybe dead or it's starved of nutrient the seed will not germinate

Now let us imagine our flesh is the soil. When we sow seeds - hatred, lies, unkindness, offence, unforgiveness etc, nurture these with acts and actions that feeds on it then we will reap the fruit of the flesh . Where the flesh is very much alive, these seeds will germinate, grow and produce fruits after its kind.

God's timeless principle of sowing and reaping.

As long as your flesh is still alive to the world and the things of the world you are providing a fertile ground for the seeds of sin. If the flesh is dead, no seed of corruption can germinate not to talk of grow.

Starve your flesh of the lust of the eyes, of the flesh and the pride of life. Do not provide the necessary nutrient for the seed of the flesh to grow. Spend your time sowing to the things of the Spirit.

#PrayerforToday
Almighty Father, thank You for giving us Your timeless principle of sowing and reaping. Help me to sow to the Spirit and not the flesh that I may reap everlasting life. Give me the grace to put to death those things of the flesh. In the name of Yeshua Jesus I pray. Amen
