Many people have a general understanding of sowing and reaping. We understand that if we sow our money, time, or effort, we will reap a harvest of the same. Today, I want to reveal an act of sowing and reaping that many of us have not considered.

Anything that God does on the earth, He has to do it through the obedience, prayer, or seed of a person. With this understanding, let’s look at the seed sown by Abraham. In Genesis 22, Abraham made up in his mind to sow a seed to God by sacrificing his son Isaac. Although Abraham never actually killed Isaac, Abraham’s heart and mental state was worthy enough for God to view that incident as a sacrifice.

Luke 6:38 says, “Give, and it will be given to you. A good measure, pressed down, shaken together and running over, will be poured into your lap. For with the measure you use, it will be measured to you.” Because Abraham, who is known as our father, gave his only son Isaac to God as a seed, God in return, gave us His only Son Jesus. As children of Abraham, we are able to reap the benefits of Jesus.

Praise God for the initial sacrifice from Abraham because with his sacrifice, we are able to reap the wonderful benefits from the ultimate seed sown: Jesus.

Galatians 6:7 Do not be deceived: God cannot be mocked. A man reaps what he sows.
