UNDERSTANDING SPIRITUAL LAWS-key to peace in life
It is a pity that what is killing unbelievers is killing the children of God also. This is because many believers have forgotten that spiritual laws govern the heaven and earth. Spiritual laws are divine laws or universal laws established by God at creation to govern or control His activities in heaven and on earth so that He will always be just and righteous. He established these laws to bind Himself and as a result, He has subjected all His creations to these laws.
They are laws or forces upholding all things together in heaven and on earth, and bring all things into divine harmony. They are laws that work for good or bad regardless of any attempt to change them, ignore them or deny their existence. They control events on earth and govern our lives whether we are conscious or unconscious of them. They are forces of cause and effect in the world. You obey them, they work for you, or you disobey them they work against you for evil.
Sometimes it is only divine mercy that comes into force to alleviate or ease the effect of working against these laws by any man. Repentance is the only power in heaven and on earth that can stop the adverse effects of breaking these laws. As strong as prayer is, it cannot stop their judgment. It is only repentance that can avert the judgment of breaking these laws.
These spiritual laws govern both the wicked and the righteous. Both are subject to these laws of cause and effect. These laws are for and against both the wicked and the righteous. That is why if an unrighteous man obeys some of these laws, they bring him positive results but if the righteous doesn’t obey, they will bring him judgments.
For instance, if an unrighteous man believes in the law of service, giving and knowledge that result in wealth, he will surely be wealthy but other laws he has not obeyed may be working against him in other areas of his life. He may not have peace and joy which are results of righteousness.
Similarly a righteous man may have peace and joy which are products of righteousness because he fears God but he may not be wealthy because he doesn’t obey the law of wealth. As a result, the unrighteous may be richer than the righteous because the righteous refuses to obey the universal laws of wealth. That is why these spiritual laws must be learnt, understood and deliberately and consciously obeyed by believers to live a better life than unbelievers.
See, when a believer obeys these laws, all the elements of the earth and heaven will work for their favour, success and prosperity. The earth will become heaven on earth because all things will be in divine harmony.
One of such laws is a law of process- seedtime and harvest. The Bible says “while the earth remains, seedtime and harvest, cold and heat, summer and winter, day and night, will not cease” (Genesis 8:25)
The law of process is the law of seedtime and harvest. I want to bring it to your notice that every creation on earth obeys this law. The plant kingdom obeys this law. The animal kingdom obeys this law. According to this law life is a seed and when the seed undergoes a process it grows and begin to bear fruits. When it bears fruits, then the season of harvest has come. There is a process between the planting of the seed, growth of the seed to a seedling, and harvesting time. For instance, if you are a degree holder you will agree with me that your degree comes through a process- nursery, primary, secondary and university. A tree was once a seed. A man was once a seed in his mother’s womb. A grown up woman was once a child. A city was once a forest..
Friend, every endeavour in life undergoes this process naturally to give you harvest at the end. You have got to know that your life is a seed. Your business is a seed. Your career is a seed. Your marriage is a seed. Your ministry is a seed. Your dream to be a celebrity or celebrated personality in your chosen field is a seed.
