Sowing and Reaping: Just a quick thought

As far as the Sowing and Reaping principle… Jesus said, “Lest a corn of Wheat fall to the ground and die it abideth alone… but if it die it bringeth forth much fruit”. In this we understand that Prosperity in God’s Kingdom is viewed with the Perception of Great Wisdom. In the natural the key to Prosperity is obtaining and maintaining or Gathering. However, in God’s Kingdom it is not in the holding on to but in the releasing that we see the Exponential Power that a Seed Possesses. Yet, we must be careful to not turn this principle into a Works based Religion. Many people mistakenly identify this concept as the means by which to Obtain Wealth or Favor from God. If we would examine the story of the Good Father (Prodigal Son) we see that neither of the Sons was engaged in the Sowing and Reaping principle as a means of Survival. The elder son worked the field sowing and reaping on behalf of the family business but his every need was supplied not by his efforts but rather because of his relationship. Thus, Sowing and Reaping is a Kingdom Principle designed to support the Kingdom in general but as far as our daily needs… they should be met by the Good Father… for all that He has is ours for the asking.
