You will harvest a crop of love!

“But this I say, He which soweth sparingly shall reap also sparingly; and he which soweth bountifully shall reap also bountifully.” (2 Cor 9:6 KJV)

Success secret

This simple statement about sowing and reaping is a HUGE success secret that most farmers understand, but most others (non-farmers) don’t. And, that’s the principle of getting lots of good seed into the ground so that you can get a great harvest.

In the next few verses of the same passage we learn some interesting things.

• God supplies the seed for the sower, bread for food, increases your store of seed, and enlarges the harvest of your righteousness!

“Now he who supplies seed to the sower and bread for food will also supply and increase your store of seed and will enlarge the harvest of your righteousness. (2 Cor. 9:10 NIV)

• He enriches you in EVERY way for a reason. So that you can be generous on every occasion, which will result in thanksgiving to God.

“You will be enriched in every way so that you can be generous on every occasion, and through us your generosity will result in thanksgiving to God.” (2 Cor. 9:11 NIV)

• It not only supplies the needs of the Lord’s people but it overflows with many expressions of thanks to God.

“This service that you perform is not only supplying the needs of the Lord’s people but is also overflowing in many expressions of thanks to God.” (2 Cor. 9:12 NIV)

So, plant good seeds of righteousness and you will harvest a crop of love

“I said, ‘Plant the good seeds of righteousness, and you will harvest a crop of love. Plow up the hard ground of your hearts, for now is the time to seek the LORD, that he may come and shower righteousness upon you.’” (Hosea 10:12 NLT)
