As He Purposeth in His Heart by Vance K. JacksonНамуна

Sow Sparingly. Reap Sparingly.

“But this I say, He which soweth sparingly shall reap also sparingly; and he which soweth bountifully shall reap also bountifully.” 2 Corinthians‬ ‭9‬:‭6‬ ‭KJV‬‬

One of the most powerful principles that clearly explain the law of sowing and reaping is found in Luke‬ ‭6‬:‭38‬ ‭KJV, which declares, “Give, and it shall be given unto you; good measure, pressed down, and shaken together, and running over, shall men give into your bosom. For with the same measure that ye mete withal it shall be measured to you again.” Sow often—reap often. Sow sparingly—reap sparingly. Sow freely—reap freely. Sow frequently—reap frequently.

The Amplified Version puts it this way, “Give, and [gifts] will be given to you; good measure, pressed down, shaken together, and running over, will they pour into [the pouch formed by] the bosom [of your robe and used as a bag]. For with the measure you deal out [with the measure you use when you confer benefits on others], it will be measured back to you.” Luke‬ ‭6‬:‭38‬ ‭AMPC‬‬.‭

Those who are selfless choose to sow. For God causes those who sow to reap bountifully. Those who are selfish withhold seed for they choose to sow sparingly. The selfish also reap sparingly.

The Message Bible puts it this way, “Give away your life; you’ll find life given back, but not merely given back—given back with bonus and blessing. Giving, not getting, is the way. Generosity begets generosity.” Luke‬ ‭6‬:‭37‬-‭38‬ ‭MSG‬‬. For with the same measure you sow it's the same measure that will be given back to you.
