Introduction

Before we enter into the new year you may have spent some time reviewing this past year. You may have had some wonderful things happen or some disappointing things. Looking into what we’ve accomplished, learned, lost, loved and more what did you learn? Evaluating the seasons, the trials, highs and lows of this year should make us wonder how well we took advantage of this time. Did you reap what you’ve sown? Did you reap hybrid crops? Have you reaped where you have not sown seed, but saw an abundance of harvest? Was your labor worth the harvest?
Today’s message is “Is God satisfied with your harvest this year?
Galatians 6:7–10 (NASB 2020)
7 Do not be deceived, God is not mocked; for whatever a person sows, this he will also reap. 8 For the one who sows to his own flesh will reap destruction from the flesh, but the one who sows to the Spirit will reap eternal life from the Spirit. 9 Let’s not become discouraged in doing good, for in due time we will reap, if we do not become weary. 10 So then, while we have opportunity, let’s do good to all people, and especially to those who are of the household of the faith.

My Harvest Of Behavior

Personal Sowing

16 But I say, walk by the Spirit, and you will not carry out the desire of the flesh.

22 But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, 23 gentleness, self-control; against such things there is no law. 24 Now those who belong to Christ Jesus crucified the flesh with its passions and Others
Galatians 6:2 (NASB 2020)
2 Bear one another’s burdens, and thereby fulfill the law of Christ.

My Harvest of Obedience

Avoid walking in your truth and walk in righteousness
Reaping from the culture can mix with your doctrinal teachings and disrupt your faith.
Leviticus 26:3–4 (NASB 2020)
3 ‘If you walk in My statutes and keep My commandments so as to carry them out, 4 then I shall give you rains in their season, so that the land will yield its produce and the trees of the field will bear their fruit.
The choice of the walk is fundamental to the results you see and experience
Conditional blessing of your obedience.

My Harvest of Service

Kingdom perspective for one another is love.
Galatians 5:13–15 (NASB 2020)
13 For you were called to freedom, brothers and sisters; only do not turn your freedom into an opportunity for the flesh, but serve one another through love. 14 For the whole Law is fulfilled in one word, in the statement,you shall love your neighbor as yourself.” 15 But if you bite and devour one another, take care that you are not consumed by one another.
Discipleship
Matthew 9:37 (NASB 2020)
37 Then He said to His disciples, “The harvest is plentiful, but the workers are few.
Wisdom in our discipleship is a lifestyle of wisdom on display
Proverbs 10:5 (NASB 2020)
5 He who gathers in summer is a son who acts wisely, But he who sleeps in harvest is a son who acts shamefully.
Demonstrating obedient compassion

8 Above all, keep fervent in your love for one another, because love covers a multitude of sins.

My Harvest of Finances

Being trustworthy with your tithes and offerings
Malachi 3:10 (NASB 2020)
10 Bring the whole tithe into the storehouse, so that there may be food in My house, and put Me to the test now in this,” says the Lord of armies, “if I do not open for you the windows of heaven and pour out for you a blessing until it overflows.
Financial faith is a command of relational trust “Bring
This obedience takes care of those needs within God’s temple on earth
God offers a litmus test of the symbiotic relationship between obedience and overflow of blessing
It builds a trust that is proven and tested over time because God said it and that settles it. He wants to bless us as we grow in faith and trust
How you give is a reflection of conduct and character and your faith in God.
2 Corinthians 9:6 (NASB 2020)
6 Now I say this: the one who sows sparingly will also reap sparingly, and the one who sows generously will also reap generously.
This is also a demonstration of how you trust God and become a conduit to others through generosity.

My Harvest of Worship

Proverbs 3:9–10 (NASB 2020)
9 Honor the Lord from your wealth, And from the first of all your produce; 10 Then your barns will be filled with plenty, And your vats will overflow with new wine.
Commanded to honor the Lord from your (wealth) increase
Psalm 150:1–6 (NASB 2020)
1 Praise the Lord! Praise God in His sanctuary; Praise Him in His mighty expanse. 2 Praise Him for His mighty deeds; Praise Him according to His excellent greatness. 3 Praise Him with trumpet sound; Praise Him with harp and lyre. 4 Praise Him with tambourine and dancing; Praise Him with stringed instruments and flute. 5 Praise Him with loud cymbals; Praise Him with resounding cymbals. 6 Everything that has breath shall praise the Lord. Praise the Lord!
Making every thought and experience a moment of worship
Making every thing God has done as part of your praise
Praise openly and unashamed
Praise HIM with every instrument of praise due him.
How did your harvest look in 2024? Was it worth reaping what was sown?
