22.
While the earth remaineth, seedtime and harvest, and cold and heat, and summer and winter, and day and night shall not cease.
*A Living Principle!*
*Genesis 8:22*
There are times in our lives when we are pronged to living by the old principles which our forefathers set before us.
They gave us the signs and signals of the many different seasons.
The signs of when the best time to plant comes.
The signal of when the best time to pluck up that which is planted has come.
We live today by some of the rules and regulations which they set down before us.
We live by rules that govern our culture, our character and our conduct.
Many of us dare not change those old traditions of our fathers.
We refuse to plant until we have seen the signs.
We refuse to look for a harvest until we have seen the signals.
Just the other day, I was at Wal-mart in Jackson.
And there was a woman with her two little boys approaching the entrance.
They were walking on the sidewalk but there were these poles there to keep the cars from getting on the sidewalk.
And one of the boys walked on the opposite side of the pole than what the Mother and the other boy did.
The mother stopped and waited and made her son go back around that pole.
Y’all know of the old superstition for splitting poles.
I wonder what would happen if we spent as much time protecting and defending God’s principles.
If every time we encountered someone breaking or be littering one of God’s principles, we would stop every thing, and take time to make sure they got it right before we moved on.
The book of Genesis is the first book of Law.
Written by Moses probably during His forty years of wandering in the wilderness.
The book of Genesis giving us the account of the beginning of time, the beginning of all creatures, and the beginning of mankind.
After the fall of man, the world became sinful.
It repented God that He had made man, God then decided to destroy man by means of the flood.
You know how it rained for forty days and forty nights.
No one was saved but Noah his wife.
The Flood had interrupted the normal cycle of the seasons for a year, but that would never be repeated again.
Instead, God reaffirmed that the rhythm of days and weeks and seasons would continue as long as the earth endured.
As we go back to the Old Testament, we see that there are some promises that God made directly to Israel, and we cannot go back and draw off of every promise.
But here, God has to reaffirm man that He would provide the necessities of life.
Noah and his family were to be fruitful and multiply and replenish the earth.
As this happens, God promised that, as long as the world standeth He would not interrupt the normal cycle of the world again.
Since God said, “As long as the world standeth” we must draw from that statement that this is like the promise of the rainbow, a living principle.
As a matter of fact this statement and the statement concerning the rainbow is part of the same promise.
God had to reassure Himself to Moses.
Here as Moses writes these words, He reassures God words to the people.
This would be a principle that would not only last for the remainder of Moses’ life, but it would stand as long as the world standeth.
This should be something that we are able to lean on.
When God made these promises to Noah, the first principle out of His mouth was that of Sowing and reaping.
It still lives today.
I’m convinced that if we would learn the principle of sowing and reaping and would apply it to every area of our lives, we would become better people.
We would become better families.
We would become better churches.
We would become better communities.
It is a living principle that cannot be altered in any manner.
Now you can fast and pray and ask God not to send the rain, and the rain might not come right then.
You can pray and ask Him not to allow it to be so cold the next day and God might honor your prayer.
What I’m trying to get you to see is; all of those other promises that God made in this verse can be altered.
(Elijah) They can’t be stopped, but they can be altered.
But Seedtime and Harvest cannot be changed in any manner.
This is something that God ordained, and He has promised that it will never be broken as long as the world standeth.
One of the great definitions of a “seed” in the dictionary means “to furnish with something that causes or stimulates growth or development”.[1]
I wished all of you here today could understand this, but I know for some of you, I’m just blowing smoke.
The best way to understand a seed is to look inside of the fruit.
The fruit always reproduce it’s own seed.
If you look inside of an apple, you will find apple seeds.
If you look inside of an orange, you will find an orange seed.
If you look inside of any fruit, you will find seeds of its own kind.
In order for any seed to grow, it must be planted.
So in order to furnish something that will stimulate growth, you must do, what you want done.
Now, what are you saying preacher, and I’m glad you asked, in order for you to get an apple, you must plant an apple seed.
If order for you to get an orange, you must plant an orange seed.
Now the bible says in */Galatians 6:7-10/*, “Be not deceived; God is not mocked: for whatsoever a man soweth, that shall he also reap.
8.
For he that soweth to his flesh, shall of the flesh reap corruption; but he that soweth to the Spirit, shall of the Spirit reap life everlasting.
9.
And let us not be weary in well doing: for in due season we shall reap, if we faint not.
10.
As we have therefore opportunity, let us do good unto all men, especially unto them who are of the household of faith”.
Many people have taken this 7th verse to mean that you can fool God.
Well, you can’t but that is not what Paul is talking about here.
If you will start at verse one, you will see that Paul is talking about how we treat one another.
“If a brethren be overtaken in a fault, ye which are spiritual restore such a one with a spirit of meekness”.
Then he talks about how we are to help one another bear their burdens, those burdens that we can help them with, we ought to be willing to help them.
If we think that we are more than other folks, we deceive ourselves.
Then there are some burdens can’t nobody help us with, we’ve got to bear them alone.
Then he says in verse 6, “let him that is taught in the word communicate (to give) to him that teaches”.
See, he is talking about how we treat one another, and then when he gets to verse 7, Paul says, “be not deceived, God is not mocked”.
I believe when Paul said that, he was referring back to Genesis 8:22.
God meant what He said about seedtime and harvest.
If you plant it, you are going to reap it.
Let me make it live in our Christian lives today, and I’m going to be finished.
There is no use running around complaining about other folks talking about you, evidently you’ve been talking about somebody.
There is no use getting mad when somebody else lie on you, you probably been lying on somebody.
Don’t get bent out of shape when somebody do you wrong, because somewhere down the line, you’ve done somebody else wrong.
If you sitting around the church and you feel lonely, you feel like don’t anybody here care for you, or don’t anybody here love you.
You feel like everybody here hates you, then you need to open up the inside of yourself, and look at your seed.
Look deep in your heart and see what you have been putting out.
Because whatsoever you sow, *that,* (not anything like it) but “that” shall you also reap.
If you want other folks to love you, you need to learn how to love other folks.
I don’t know, you might not want anybody to love you, you might not want to love other folks, if that is the case, then you might as well stop coming to church.
I’m being honest; the only way to make it to heaven is to love everybody.
And if you can’t do that, if you don’t want to do that, then coming to church is just a waste of your time.
Do y’all see what I’m saying here?
The mystery of the seed is that you’ve got to plant what you want.
When I say plant, I’m talking about how we treat one another.
There maybe somebody here who don’t have any money.
All of this is right here in Galatians, and whether you believe it or not, I’m preaching the bible.
You don’t have any money because you are not willing to give any money.
Some folks so tight with the little money that they got, that they don’t want to let it lose, and that is the only way that God can bless you with more.
I heard it said when I first came here, “if he don’t ask for it, then we don’t have to give it”.
You need to learn that the secret of you having; is that you first have the spirit of giving.
