Theme: Principle of sowing and reaping (7)
Memory Verse: Gen 8:22 While the earth remaineth, seedtime and harvest, and cold and heat, and summer and winter, and day and night shall not cease.
Topic: Our lifestyle as a seed.
Today’s Reading: 1Ti 4:8 For bodily exercise profiteth little: but godliness is profitable unto all things, having promise of the life that now is, and of that which is to come.
1Co 6:12-13
12 All things are lawful unto me, but all things are not expedient: all things are lawful for me, but I will not be brought under the power of any.
13 Meats for the belly, and the belly for meats: but God shall destroy both it and them. Now the body is not for fornication, but for the Lord; and the Lord for the body.
Words of the Ministry:
Today we come to the end of our lesson on the theme, principles of sowing and reaping and as we round off, I want to talk about another area where many sow seeds and are unaware, that is the seed they sow with their bodies. Our daily activities and bodily engagement is a seed and we would definitely reap the harvest some day. A vast majority say their bodies is theirs and they can do whatever they want with their bodies, nothing can be farther from the truth than that as the bible teaches that our bodies belong to God and we would give an account of whatever is done with our bodies be it good or evil 2 Cor 5.10.
That then brings me to the question, what seed are you sowing with your body. Medical science tells us that what you eat is what you become, in other words, our lifestyle, eating habit goes a long way to determine our physical health. The W.H.O warns that smokers are liable to die young yet many believers take on smoking like a hobby, the danger of Alcohol is widespread news as it not only damages the internal organs but affects the reasoning ability of its victims, countless crimes have been traced to drunkenness yet believers argue that they drink but are not drunk.
Many Christian love wild partying and clubbing, they keep church services but they are nothing different from the world, taking drugs, flirting, skipping sleep to attend parties, doing every surgical procedure on their body to look attractive to the opposite sex, keeping ungodly friends and trading immoral words, eating late and taking too much sweetened and fatty foods, and committing abortion. God in his wisdom has placed a gauge in our body and that gauge is the aging process, As we grow older, we come to realize that indeed those that sow to the wind would reap vanity, the days of your youth and your choices in life then begins to dawn on you, many would never attain their God given destinies, some would live a life of sickness in and out of the hospital, other would drop out of school, suffer a broken home and divorce while other may be barren or die early.
From Today’s reading, we see that everything we do with our bodies would yield an harvest be it physical exercises, spiritual exercises like prayer, bible memorization, fasting etc. Our eating and drinking habits too has consequences, you don’t say because you are a Christian, you take excessive sugar, coca-cola and junk foods. So likewise many use their mind as a prison to hold grudges and keep offences, that leads to arteries and high blood pressure and that also gives the devil an avenue to not only steal your joy but also your testimonies, you must choose to forgive at least for your personal health, you only torment yourself by keeping malice and being unforgiving, sleeplessness and nightmares are also traceable to unforgiveness. Those that forgive easily live a happier life. There is a place for wisdom as everything must be done in moderation. Check yourself today before it is too late. May the Lord grant us light.
