GOD CANNOT BE MOCKED
Read: Galatians 6:6-10
Galatians 6:6-10 Nevertheless, the one who receives instruction in the word should share all good things with their instructor.
Do not be deceived: God cannot be mocked. A man reaps what he sows.
Whoever sows to please their flesh, from the flesh will reap destruction; whoever sows to please the Spirit, from the Spirit will reap eternal life.
Let us not become weary in doing good, for at the proper time we will reap a harvest if we do not give up.
Therefore, as we have opportunity, let us do good to all people, especially to those who belong to the family of believers.
MEMORISE: Do not be deceived: God cannot be mocked. A man reaps what he sows. (Galatians 6:7)
EXPOSITION
In our days of so much indolence and frivolities, many are counting of God for excellence, breakthrough and fulfilment. If you are not up and doing, yet expecting these, you are having a day-dream, and you would soon wake up to the reality of your fantasies. There are some things you don’t have, because you don’t do the right things. Positive results belongs to the hardworking ones (Prov. 22:29). Some things are purely natural while others are supernatural. God cannot be responsible for your negligence of duty. Do the natural, He will then add ‘super’ to the ‘natural’, only at the point of your inability. The charge is: you must put your faith to work (Jas. 2:16-18). Yes, your faith is meaningful when it is accompanied with good works.
It us not limited to the physical works; spiritual works are rated higher. A man was privileged to see a vision of heaven. He was shown the mansions over there, which are reserved for every Christ’s believer, provided he or she would not compromise. The amazing thing to the man privy to this divine information was that the mansions were of different types. They were not the same, just like our Lord Jesus Christ informed in John 14. While some would have bungalow, some would have duplex, and yet some others would settle for a room apartment, if not even less, so to speak. God is the impartial judge; you can’t fault His judgments!
Dear devout, what will be your reward in heaven, and even here on earth, to start with? The works you do, how you do them, and why you do them will determine that. It is not too late now, if you can get up and be active in things of God, with clean and heaven-bound motives. As God gives you the grace, strife to work His works while it is day, for night surely comes when no man will be able to do anything again (Jn. 9:4)! Shalom
