Shalom,

Today I want to share the devotional from The Spoken Word Church website:

Sow a Part of Yourself Everyday

A seed is anything you can do that benefits another person. Your respect for others is a seed. Plant that seed. Your knowledge given to others is a seed. Sow that seed. What you make happen for others, God will make happen for you.

"Knowing that whatsoever good thing any man does, the same shall he receive of the Lord, whether he be bond or free." (Ephesians 6:8)

This is a verse that I have had great confidence in from the first time that I heard it taught! When you believe that "God is not a man, that He should lie" (Numbers 23:19) and that His Word is Truth (John 17:17), then when you meditate on this verse, your confidence will begin to grow until you have full assurance that when YOU pray for others, HE has someone, somewhere in the world, praying for YOU! When you do anything that benefits someone else, you can have confidence that God will see to it that your own needs are met! Don't look for return help from someone that YOU give to. Look to God as your Source and expect that He will use any and every means to provide for you! This principle is especially important to me concerning mercy. I believe that when I sow mercy, love and forgiveness into someone's life, mercy will be there for me when I need it! Here is another Scripture I want to share with you that goes right along with this. Proverbs 3:27:

27 Withhold not good from those to whom it is due, when it is in the power of your hand to do it. AMP

When you are able to pray for someone, pray for them. When you are able to give something to someone what will be a blessing to them, give it! When you are able to encourage someone, encourage them! The other side of this is DO NOT think, speak or act in a way that is detrimental to someone else, because what you sow, you WILL reap! Galatians 6:7:

7 Be not deceived; God is not mocked: for whatsoever a man sows, that shall he also reap. KJV

Now look at this from the Amplified Bible:

7 Do not be deceived and deluded and misled; God will not allow Himself to be sneered at (scorned, disdained, or mocked by mere pretensions or professions, or by His precepts being set aside.) [He inevitably deludes himself who attempts to delude God.] For whatever a man sows, that and that only is what he will reap. AMP

AMEN! God has already provided for us to be blessed with EVERY spiritual blessing, in heavenly places, IN HIM! Ephesians 1:3:

3 May blessing (praise, laudation, and eulogy) be to the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ (the Messiah) Who has blessed us in Christ with every spiritual (given by the Holy Spirit) blessing in the heavenly realm! AMP

So, let's make the choice to no longer hold back, but to pour our whole heart into think, speak and act like JESUS! AMEN! THAT will draw all men unto HIM through the testimony of your life! Here is Hillsong Young and Free with "This Is Real Love":

Shalom in Him!
