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.
Those who live only to satisfy their own sinful nature will harvest decay and death from that sinful nature. But those who live to please the Spirit will harvest everlasting life from the Spirit.
Don’t be misled—you cannot mock the justice of God. You will always harvest what you plant.
So let’s not get tired of doing what is good. At just the right time we will reap a harvest of blessing if we don’t give up.
For God is the one who provides seed for the farmer and then bread to eat. In the same way, he will provide and increase your resources and then produce a great harvest of generosity in you.
And those who are peacemakers will plant seeds of peace and reap a harvest of righteousness.
No discipline is enjoyable while it is happening—it’s painful! But afterward there will be a peaceful harvest of right living for those who are trained in this way.
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 with your wealth
and with the best part of everything you produce.
Bring all the tithes into the storehouse so there will be enough food in my Temple. If you do," says the Lord of Heaven’s Armies, "I will open the windows of heaven for you. I will pour out a blessing so great you won’t have enough room to take it in! Try it! Put me to the test!
"If you follow my decrees and are careful to obey my commands, I will send you the seasonal rains. The land will then yield its crops, and the trees of the field will produce their fruit.
Look at the birds. They don’t plant or harvest or store food in barns, for your heavenly Father feeds them. And aren’t you far more valuable to him than they are?
The grapevines have dried up,
and the fig trees have withered.
The pomegranate trees, palm trees, and apple trees—
all the fruit trees—have dried up.
And the people’s joy has dried up with them.
Even though the fig trees have no blossoms,
and there are no grapes on the vines;
even though the olive crop fails,
and the fields lie empty and barren;
even though the flocks die in the fields,
and the cattle barns are empty,
yet I will rejoice in the Lord!
I will be joyful in the God of my salvation!
