Meditate on: Galatians 6:7 GNT
« Do not deceive yourselves; no one makes a fool of God. You will reap exactly what you plant. »
Read: Galatians 6:4–5 GW
4 Each of you must examine your own actions. Then you can be proud of your own accomplishments without comparing yourself to others.
5 Assume your own responsibility.
Message:
God has principles and even He abides by them.
For example, His principle is that for the cleansing of sins, there must be the shedding of blood, so when the blood of animals was not enough to take away sins, He did not change the principle; rather He sent His own Son (which was a great sacrifice) who was completely unpolluted to shed His blood for our sins (Hebrews: 13, 10:12).
This is why I wonder how people do things contrary to the principles of God, yet expect good result.
If God, in His sovereignty abides by His own principles, then we ought to also.
One of His principles is that if you don’t work, you will not eat (2 Thessalonians 3:10).
So, when a lazy fellow is asking for a breakthrough, I wonder if he expects God to drop the money into his lap.
If you want to be wealthy, then you have to be willing to work and work hard.
Another principle of wealth that God has laid down is the principle of giving. Do you know that even herbalist use this principle and it works?
Yes, because God’s principles are universal; whoever obeys them will reap the fruits.
The reason many Christians are still in poverty is simply because they do not give. Luke 6:38 NLT says:
« Give, and you will receive. Your gift will return to you in full—pressed down, shaken together to make room for more, running over, and poured into your lap. The amount you give will determine the amount you get back. »
One general principle of God is that whatsoever you sow is what you will reap (Galatians 6:7).
This means that if you want kindness, sow kindness to others.
If you want help, help others.
There are so many prayers that will not be answered until we begin to work in line with God’s principles.
His word is yes and amen; you cannot use prayers to cajole Him into going against His word. Do the right thing!
Application: When you want something from God, check what His word says about it, and then obey.
