Beware of the Seven Laws of Harvest: The Consequences of Your Actions

There are indeed seven laws of harvest in the following order:

1. We Reap Only What Has Been Sown
2. We Reap the Same In Kind As We Sow
3. We Reap in a Different Season than We Sow
4. We Reap More Than We Sow
5. We Reap In Proportion to What We Sow
6. We Reap the Full Harvest Of the Good Only if We Persevere
7. We Can't do Anything About Last Year's Harvest, But We Can About This Year's

Sow a thought, reap an act;
Sow an act, reap a habit;
Sow a habit, reap a character;
Sow a character, reap a destiny.


You can read The Seven Laws of the Harvest for more details.

I can still remember my grandmother warning me about my choices in life. In her attempt to see that her grandson would behave himself, she used to say, “Don’t forget, Hampton, you always reap what you sow … always.” And of course, she was right. But when most of us think of the concept of reaping what we sow, I have found we usually think of this in the negative sense. We think of paying the consequences for sinful actions or foolish choices, but the laws of the harvest are not just negative. These laws are also positive, very positive, and stand as a promise of blessing for sowing that which is good as well as a warning against sowing what is bad. We see this in Galatians 6:7-8.

~ J. Hampton Keathley, III , Th.M. (Bio)

Hampton Keathley, III, is right. Let me address it in details, because the ignorance of these laws is destroying people daily.

It is the devil that will lie to you that ignorance is bliss.
The truth is ignorance is not bliss, because ignorance kills.

The truth may be bitter or sour, but the truth heals.

The ignorance of the truth on the facts of the Weapons of Mass Destruction misled the U.S. Government into the catastrophic war in Iraq. See the records of the bloody consequences on Heroes of the War On Terror.

Ignorance begets disobedience and disobedience begets violence and violence begets death.

Ignorance leads people to disobedience and their disobedience provokes the wrath of the earth and the wrath of the earth causes violence and violence has led to the death of countless people since Adam and Eve to date.

Ignorance of the Law of Harvest is the cause of the horrors and the terrors of life and the tragedies of the crimes, evils and sins plaguing humans and have left millions of people dead, millions still dying and millions still suffering the consequences of their own actions and the actions of others.

There is always a reaction to every action, but it might not be visible as you would see or think.

You have to beware of the grave consequences of your negative actions, because of the repercussions.

If you say or do negative things, you will surely get negative things in return eventually.
If you say or do positive things, you will surely get positive things in return eventually.

Someone insulted me in a reply to one of my posts online, and my reply was to quote from the Law of Harvest for his own good.
That if you reply with an insult, insult will plague you all your life.
It was a warning to him to stop insulting people, especially strangers you do not know or have never met in person.

Insulting or swearing at others has brought visible and invisible curses in return.

The Law of Harvest is worse for those who repay good with evil.

For example, you have the best wishes for someone and you are doing good and the best for the progress and succcess of that person, but the same person goes behind you to backbite, backstab and plot to do you harm or evil and in fact commits sin or evil against you. Then instead of repenting and asking for mercy and forgiveness, the wrong doer or evil doer is adamant and unrepentant. He or she would receive the grave consequences of the grievous actions.

If God will judge every idle word
How much more would His wrath be against every evil deed.

~ Ekenyerengozi Michael Chima


The more I feel sorry for many humans I know are now facing and suffering the negative consequences of their actions and the actions of their parents and ancestors, the more I pray and wish that they would listen and learn and repent, and be saved, but in most cases these humans have failed to listen and learn from the horrible and terrible mistakes of others.
As they are repeating these negative mistakes of others, the negative consequences are repeated again and again.

Nigeria is one of the richest countries in human and mineral resources on earth, but Nigeria is among the poorest nations in the world, because of the daily violations of the Seven Laws of Harvest by ignorant and disobedient Nigerians.

The simple solution is for everyone on earth to learn and apply the Seven Laws of Harvest in everything we say and everything we do, and we shall be delivered, redeemed and saved from the ignorance and disobedience of the Seven Laws of Harvest.

May God help you and I to repent and do good to ourselves and unto others.
