Gal. 6:7-8 “Do not be deceived; God is not mocked: for whatsoever a man sows, that will he also reap. For he that sows to his flesh will of the flesh reap corruption; but he that sows to the Spirit will of the Spirit reap life everlasting
DAILY READING – John 19:16-42; 2 Chronicles 30; Psalm 86
Early this month, May 2023, a teenager killed eight fellow students and a security guard in a school in Serbia.
The 13-year-old was arrested following the attack at the Vladislav Ribnikar primary school in Belgrade.
The boy was said to have planned the attack for weeks and had a “kill list”, according to police.
Although shootings in schools around the world periodically prompt politicians and the general public to focus their attention on the influence of media violence, the medical community has been concerned with this issue since the 1950s.
A study, which began in 1983 tracked more than 700 adolescents from when they were 14 years till they reached 30 years of age. The study established a link between aggressive media and aggressive behavior. These findings have prompted the call for more parental control over children’s exposure to violent scenes in the media. Indeed since 1946, when television broadcasting began, fears about the negative influence of television have often been voiced. One study in the early 1960’s shocked the public by showing that children shown a TV program of adults beating a toy clown, ended up manifesting the same behavior. Over the years, other research evidence has been accumulating that suggests that exposure to violence in media increases the risk of violent behavior on the viewer’s part.
A child or adult produces the fruit of the seed sown in the heart. The law of the mind is that what you put in is what you get out.
Today, the much violence being viewed in the media is leading to increasing news of violence in the society. The truth is that what constantly enters a person’s heart eventually dominates and controls their actions.
As a man thinks in his heart so is he.
Gal. 6:7-8 says “Do not be deceived; God is not mocked: for whatsoever a man sows, that will he also reap. ‘
Since every seed sown must find expression, it them becomes important that we be careful the things that are going into our minds. If you don’t want the fruit, then don’t sow the seed. What you don’t want, don’t watch, or listen to. God has given us the ability to control what we sow and thereby control what we reap.
The harvest of your tomorrow depends on the seed you sow today. In fact, what you are experiencing now, is due to the kind of seed you sowed in the past. Let us therefore endeavor to always sow the right seeds.
Luke 8:10-11; says ‘The seed is the word of God’
When we sow The Word of God in our hearts we reap the fruit of signs and wonders in our lives. God’s Word is pregnant with wonders.
Psalms 119:18 says ‘Open thou mine eyes, that I may behold wondrous things out of thy law’..
When you fill your heart with The Word of God your life becomes a wonder on earth. Instead of filling our hearts with chaff from social media or other media, let us rather commit to filling our minds with the precious seed of The Word of God, so that we can reap a harvest of the wonders of God in our lives.
PRAYER: Lord, Please grant me the grace to fill my heart constantly with Your Word. May I have a renewed desire and appetite to constantly sow Your Word into my heart so that I can reap a harvest of signs and wonders in Jesus Name. .
