HARVEST OF BLESSING

TIRED OF BEING GOOD 

The Christian life calls you to a work of service and sacrifice.  However, many people do not always appreciate the things that are done for them or given to them.  

Sometimes, the people who need help the most are the least likely to be  appreciative. They are the ones who will use and abuse you and still complain and talk bad about you.  

This type of reward for doing good can affect your desire to give and cause you to get fatigued and weary.  It makes you feel that you are taken advantaged of, and ultimately make you stop doing the things that you should.  

It may make you question your self-worth, ability and quality of your service.  You may even begin to judge, question or even condemn yourself and lose out on your blessing.

It is important that you do not become weary in well doing- you must keep on going, for if you do not give up you will reap a harvest of blessing.                                                       

       

Galatians 6:9 (KJV) - And let us not be weary in well doing: for in due season we shall reap, if we faint not.

Your season, your harvest will come at the right time. Don't let anyone give you a setback for your blessing.

TODAY'S FOCUS: HARVEST A GOOD CROP

A good harvest comes from good planting.

The scripture above indicates that if you are faithful in doing good and do not faint you will have a sure harvest.

This becomes difficult when people belittle and or discredit you, question your abilities, accuse your good intentions and cause offense.

The first thing that comes to your mind is that you should stop. While it is true that you should stop casting your pearls before swines, you should also see if it is an attempt to stop your productive harvest.

Be deliberate but careful. Be intentional and consistent in your season of planting because you cannot have a harvest without planting seeds.

Let's discuss some of your gifts or things assigned to you:

Who have called you?

What area have you been called to serve in?

What gifts do you have?

How have you been called to served?

What seeds you have been given to sow?

Whose lives are you impacting?

Who and what is discouraging you?

Who do you look to reward you?

It is easy to get discouraged when you look for the applause of men and do not know who rewards you.

In spite of all this, you must also seek opportunities to do good especially to those who may cause you the greatest hurt. Sometimes the closest people to you are the culprits- Family members, friends, close associates and even your Christian brothers and sisters.

Galatians 6:10 (KJV)

As we have therefore opportunity, let us do good unto all men, especially unto them who are of the household of faith.

The opportunities that are presented are given to you to reap a good harvest. The more you don't feel like it, the more you should. It is through your seed planting and enduring the heat and the scorching you will develop and learn. Plant good seeds- What you plant will grow and you will reap the harvest you have planted.

Remember, do not allow yourself to get fatigued at doing good. At the right time, you will harvest a good crop. Don't give up or quit doing the things that you are called and or assigned to do. Do good every time you get a chance to regardless if you are appreciated, praised or forgotten. Don't have preferences, but work for the benefit of all even to those who accuse or misjudge you. Know that it is the Lord who rewards the faithful.

God bless you and Keep the Faith
