Be not deceived; God is not mocked: for whatsoever a man soweth, that shall he also reap.

– Galatians 6:7, KJV

Some Christians suffer because of their deeds. It may be difficult for some people to admit, but it’s true. We like to think of ourselves as always right—always the victim, never the cause of our problems. To make it worse, we become masters at blame-shifting, making someone else the culprit.

Suffering can come because of your words. If you speak words in a careless way or anger, these words can be like missiles that produce irreversible results and great suffering.

Self-sin can be referred to as the irrevocable law of sowing and reaping. Self-sinfulness may be forgiven for the sins, but the consequences of sin will be reaped to the full. King David received forgiveness for his selfish and fleshly sin with Bathsheba but he reaped the consequences of his sin. David by himself from his exalted position sowed seeds of “family destruction” and reaped a harvest of family destruction through his son, Absalom. Self-sin has consequences. Therefore, free yourself from self-imposed suffering.

Insight: Self has ungodly sowing. Don’t walk by the flesh.

Prayer: Father, set me free from self-imposed suffering and engrace me with supernatural strength to live a healthy Christian life in the name of Jesus.
