DO YOU REALLY KNOW WHAT KIND OF SEED YOU ARE SOWING?

DO YOU REALLY KNOW
WHAT KIND OF SEED
YOU ARE SOWING?

Brother James, OIC

Heb 5:12-14 For when for the time ye ought to be teachers, ye have need that one teach you again which be the first principles of the oracles of God; and are become such as have need of milk, and not of strong meat. For every one that useth milk is unskilful in the word of righteousness: for he is a babe. But strong meat belongeth to them that are of full age, even those who by reason of use have their senses exercised to discern both good and evil.

There are those teaching that if you are suffering you must not be sowing the right seed. And I guess that would be a correct statement IF their god is Satan and their life is only in this world.

Suffering is a necessary part of Christian growth as we search out and rightly divide the Word of Truth which sadly very few do.

Scripture warns us about feel good doctrines especially here in the end times:

2Ti 4:3-4 For the time will come when they will not endure sound doctrine; but after their own lusts shall they heap to themselves teachers, having itching ears; And they shall turn away their ears from the truth, and shall be turned unto fables.

Those who practice modern theology or legalism especially in their judgments will only suffer according to the law in their flesh if they do evil they reap evil just as their blessings will only be according to their fallen nature of goodness. All of that changed in Christ as that is not what Jesus came to give to us. True believers partake in the sufferings of Christ as they walk by the Spirit and not after the flesh as they are growing through testings of their Faith and what is or isn't done in Love:

Rom 8:18 For I reckon that the sufferings of this present time are not worthy to be compared with the glory which shall be revealed in us.

1Pe 4:16 Yet if any man suffer as a christian, let him not be ashamed; but let him glorify God on this behalf.

2Co 1:5 For as the sufferings of Christ abound in us, so our consolation also aboundeth by Christ.

2Co 1:7 And our hope of you is stedfast, knowing, that as ye are partakers of the sufferings, so shall ye be also of the consolation.

Php 3:10 That I may know him, and the power of his resurrection, and the fellowship of his sufferings, being made conformable unto his death;

1Pe 4:13 But rejoice, inasmuch as ye are partakers of Christ's sufferings; that, when his glory shall be revealed, ye may be glad also with exceeding joy.
