Colheita
A colheita é princípio bíblico universal: colhemos o que semeamos. Quem semeia na fé e obediência colherá bênçãos abundantes do Senhor.
Semear e colher
Quem semeia no Espírito, do Espírito colherá vida eterna. Não nos cansemos de fazer o bem — ao tempo certo colheremos.
If you plant in the field of your natural desires, from it you will gather the harvest of death; if you plant in the field of the Spirit, from the Spirit you will gather the harvest of eternal life.
Do not deceive yourselves; no one makes a fool of God. You will reap exactly what you plant.
So let us not become tired of doing good; for if we do not give up, the time will come when we will reap the harvest.
And God, who supplies seed for the sower and bread to eat, will also supply you with all the seed you need and will make it grow and produce a rich harvest from your generosity.
And goodness is the harvest that is produced from the seeds the peacemakers plant in peace.
When we are punished, it seems to us at the time something to make us sad, not glad. Later, however, those who have been disciplined by such punishment reap the peaceful reward of a righteous life.
Fidelidade na semeadura
Honra ao Senhor com as tuas primícias. O Senhor abrirá as janelas do céu e derramará bênção sem medida.
Honor the Lord by making him an offering from the best of all that your land produces.
Bring the full amount of your tithes to the Temple, so that there will be plenty of food there. Put me to the test and you will see that I will open the windows of heaven and pour out on you in abundance all kinds of good things.
"If you live according to my laws and obey my commands, I will send you rain at the right time, so that the land will produce crops and the trees will bear fruit.
Look at the birds: they do not plant seeds, gather a harvest and put it in barns; yet your Father in heaven takes care of them! Aren’t you worth much more than birds?
The grapevines and fig trees have withered;
all the fruit trees have wilted and died.
The joy of the people is gone.
Even though the fig trees have no fruit
and no grapes grow on the vines,
even though the olive crop fails
and the fields produce no grain,
even though the sheep all die
and the cattle stalls are empty,
I will still be joyful and glad,
because the Lord God is my savior.
