The laws of the harvest

The world as we know it is formulated and governed around Laws. Laws are simply universal truth and they have a regulatory effect.
Did you really know that there is a law that regulates everything that is in this world? Unfortunately, as the learned colleagues, the lawyers often say: “Ignorance is no defence.”
Indeed ignorance is no defence! Whether you are aware of their existence or not, laws will bring you to book. It is your duty therefore to search for these Laws of nature upon which the universe is established.

Just knowing them alone is not enough! Application of the Laws and conforming to them will always give the expected result.
One such group of Laws is the Law of the Harvest. The Laws of Harvest applies to plant seed as well as it applies to many facets of human life.

Under the Laws of the Harvest are many other sub laws which we will explore together. But perhaps the most prominent of the Laws of the Harvest is one that we often paraphrase as follows, “you reap what you sow.”

The Law’s most popular text reference is from the book of Galatians in the Bible which reads, “For whatever a man sows, that and that only is what he will reap.”
Most people are inclined to ask the “why” question when things happen to them. In most instances the answer is found in this law.

You are simply reaping the harvests of what you have previously sown. Whenever you get results you do not desire, begin to interrogate what kind of seeds you have been planting.

The reason why some probably do not have happiness is because they don’t sow happiness. When you sow strife you reap strife. This is why it is necessary to carefully analyse what seeds you plant in your relations, be it with your friends, family, business associates or whoever it might be.

The quality of that relationship is solely premised on the seeds you plant with your actions and words. If you plant mistrust, you will reap mistrust.
Another law of the harvest is that you will reap according to the measure that you sow. The Law states that: “He who sows sparingly and grudgingly will also reap sparingly and grudgingly and he who sows generously will also reap generously and with blessings.”

Once you have identified the kind of harvest you desire it is important to realise that again you determine the amount of harvest you receive with the amount of seed you plant.

Some people are in the habit of expecting way too much than what they give in. A student, who doesn’t give much time to his studies, somehow expects to pass with flying colours. It will only take the miraculous for one to do that because only miracles supersede and defy these laws. The effort you put in determines the outcome you receive.

Another law is that harvest follows planting and not vice versa. Some people are naïve to say the least. They expect to reap first then they harvest. That is absurd. You first sow then you reap.

Most average and poor people are guilty of this statement, “we don’t give because we don’t have.” The reality is the opposite however; you don’t have because you don’t give.

Everyone has a seed which will take them to a next level of plenty (with regard to the seed sown). The problem is most people think they should have plenty in order to plant. That is why some people need thousands to start a business while some can start from just a dollar.

The last Law of Harvests I will share states that, “There is always a time interval between planting and harvesting.” You sow in a different season from the one you reap in. Most people cannot endure the season of waiting for the harvest which is why they do not plant at all.

They seek instant gratification so they would rather eat the seed that plant it and wait for the harvest. They do something today and expect results tomorrow. There is nothing like that! At times you are expected to do things over and over again until you can start to reap from your actions.

Remember that for everything you need in life, there is a seed that you can plant. Everything that you have ever wanted in your life can be planted and you will begin to enjoy the benefits of the laws of harvests.

If you plant nothing you reap nothing. Start planting the seeds that give you the results you require.
These laws can be applied to your academics, spiritual life, finances, relationships, and anywhere else you desire to see results.

Till next week, God bless you all.
