Galatians: 6:8: For he that sows to his flesh shall of the flesh reap corruption; but he that sows to the Spirit shall of the Spirit reap life everlasting.

Have you ever heard of a farmer planting an apple tree and several years later when the harvest is ripe for large voluptuous bright red tasty apples, he goes out to pick one for tasting and he finds crabapples instead he rejoiced because they taste so good and made a huge profit on the market? That does not sound very promising does it? No it does not why, first of all crabapples surely are not voluptuous large tasty bright red apples and secondly you will not be able to disguise them as such to make a huge profit. Moreover, most importantly you will have to sow and plant into the soil the right kind of seed in order to expect the right results from your hard labor. Now the question is what are you sowing into your life? Are you sowing seeds of the flesh or seeds of the Spirit? What are you expecting out of life will determine what kind of seeds you need to be sowing. If you are expecting success, prosperity, loving relationships, a great marriage, a happy family, and most importantly a great relationship with God then it starts with sowing the right spirit in your life. All of those things that were listed you can have it all and be very happy full of excitement and great joy in your life experiencing all of your dreams and passions. Yet, it starts with sowing to the Spirit or sowing the Spirit into your heart, mind, body and soul that fulfills all and in all of your entire life and being. Furthermore, having eternal life is your greatest reward above all that God can offer you in this world while living in this world. However, Romans 8:6 says, for to be carnally minded is death; but to be spiritually minded is life and peace. In the mind is where you birth the working of the Spirit in your life, meaning He starts His manifestation in your mind by you entertaining and exercising your mind on the Spirit. Everything about the Spirit is yours for the taken and you must saturate your mind with spiritual things that pertain to the Holy Spirit that will change the way you think, talk, walk and live, Ephesians 4: 23-32. Don’t worry it will all be too your good, for prosperity, success, loving relationships, a great marriage if you are married, a happy family that only trust in God and depending on Him, a mighty wonderful life filled with Gods promises and most importantly a great relationship with God unto life everlasting. But it is going to take all of your efforts first with great success to sow to the Spirit or sow the Spirit into your life in Jesus Name…
