Examples of Sowing and Reaping

Cain

Genesis 4:3-15

3 In the course of time Cain brought some of the fruits of the soil as an offering to the LORD.

4 But Abel brought fat portions from some of the firstborn of his flock. The LORD looked with favor on Abel and his offering,

5 but on Cain and his offering he did not look with favor. So Cain was very angry, and his face was downcast.

6 Then the LORD said to Cain, “Why are you angry? Why is your face downcast?

7 If you do what is right, will you not be accepted? But if you do not do what is right, sin is crouching at your door; it desires to have you, but you must master it.”

8 Now Cain said to his brother Abel, “Let's go out to the field.” And while they were in the field, Cain attacked his brother Abel and killed him.

9 Then the LORD said to Cain, “Where is your brother Abel?” “I don't know,” he replied. “Am I my brother's keeper?”

10 The LORD said, “What have you done? Listen! Your brother's blood cries out to me from the ground.

11 Now you are under a curse and driven from the ground, which opened its mouth to receive your brother's blood from your hand.

12 When you work the ground, it will no longer yield its crops for you. You will be a restless wanderer on the earth.”

13 Cain said to the LORD, “My punishment is more than I can bear.

14 Today you are driving me from the land, and I will be hidden from your presence; I will be a restless wanderer on the earth, and whoever finds me will kill me.”

15 But the LORD said to him, “Not so; if anyone kills Cain, he will suffer vengeance seven times over.” Then the LORD put a mark on Cain so that no one who found him would kill him.

Israel

6 But now we have lost our appetite; we never see anything but this manna!”

Psalms 106:13-14

13 But they soon forgot what he had done and did not wait for his counsel.

14 In the desert they gave in to their craving; in the wasteland they put God to the test.

You are given a spiritual gift by God.

And he gave some, apostles; and some, prophets; and some, evangelists; and some, pastors and teachers”…Ephesians 4:11

God has equipped you for the ministry. Whatever He has called you to do; He has gifted you for that particular ministry. God has given you everything needed to complete your call and ministry.

-           the spiritual office

-           the spiritual gift and ability

-           The grace to bear all trials and temptations in order to complete your ministry.

It is important to note what is meant by spiritual gifts. A spiritual gift does not mean the natural ability or talent of a person. God, of course, keeps natural abilities and talents in mind when He gifts a person, but spiritual gifts are special gifts given to believers. They are highly specialized gifts-gifts that are given to build up believers in the church and in witnessing and ministering to the world. The point to note is this: you have received a spiritual gift to carry out the ministry of the Lord upon the earth.

Note another significant point: Jesus Christ gives you the grace to use your gift. Grace means the strength, wisdom, courage, motivation, love, concern, care, power—all the favor and blessing—of Christ. Whatever is needed to use the gift, Christ gives you. He measures out the exact amount of grace needed for the maximum use of a gift.

What a glorious truth! What a spark of encouragement! You are gifted by Christ—gifted with a highly specialized gift. And you have the measure of grace—whatever measure is needed—to use your gift. Christ pours out His grace upon you, equipping you to carry out your task upon earth. This is significant, for it means that your gift is the gift of Christ. It is the very best gift for you. You should not be displeased with your gift, nor covet someone else’s gift. Christ has placed best gift—if you are truly His, yielded and committed to serve Him.

“And in the church God has appointed first of all apostles, second prophets, third teachers, then workers of miracles, also those having fits of healing, those able to help others, those with gifts of administration, and those speaking in different kinds of tongues”…1 Corinthians 12:28

“We have different gifts, according to the grace given us. If a man’s gift is prophesying, let him use it in proportion to his faith.  If it is serving, let him serve; if it is teaching, let him teach; if it is encouraging, let him encourage; if it is  contributing to the  needs of others, let him give generously; if it is leadership, let him govern diligently; if it is showing mercy, let him do it cheerfully”…Romans 12:6-8.

1 John 4:19

We love because he first loved us.

Ransom

Just as the Son of Man did not come to be served, but to serve, and to give his life as a ransom for many.”

Reaping

John 4: 35-38  

35 Do you not say, ‘Four months more and then the harvest’? I tell you, open your eyes and look at the fields! They are ripe for harvest.

36 Even now the reaper draws his wages, even now he harvests the crop for eternal life, so that the sower and the reaper may be glad together.

4 Jesus answered, “It is written: ‘Man does not live on bread alone, but on every word that comes from the mouth of God.’”

5 Then the devil took him to the holy city and had him stand on the highest point of the temple.

6 “If you are the Son of God,” he said, “throw yourself down. For it is written: “‘He will command his angels concerning you, and they will lift you up in their hands, so that you will not strike your foot against a stone.’”

7 Jesus answered him, “It is also written: ‘Do not put the Lord your God to the test.’”

8 Again, the devil took him to a very high mountain and showed him all the kingdoms of the world and their splendor.

9 “All this I will give you,” he said, “if you will bow down and worship me.”

10 Jesus said to him, “Away from me, Satan! For it is written: ‘Worship the Lord your God, and serve him only.’”

11 Then the devil left him, and angels came and attended him.

Daniel 4:18
