AFTER ITS OWN KIND
This is a LAW of GOD ... learn it and be wise ... EVERYTHING produces AFTER ITS OWN KIND. Dogs don’t have KITTENS, SHEEP don’t have CATTLE, KIND WORDS do not come back to those who sow BITTER WORDS, etc.

Evolution - To the logical minded, this law of God puts to rest the “Theory of Evolution”. Plants DON’T give birth or EVOLVE to FISH. FISH don’t give birth or EVOLVE to ANIMALS, and ANIMALS don’t give birth or evolve into HUMANS ! ! There is even a scripture about that ..
1 Cor 15:39 (NIV)
39 All flesh is not the same: Men have one kind of flesh, animals have another, birds another and fish another.

The widow sowed (gave of the last of her oil and flour) to the man of God .. what did SHE reap .. oil and flour:
IKing 17:10-16 (NIV)
10 So he went to Zarephath. When he came to the town gate, a widow was there gathering sticks. He called to her and asked, "Would you bring me a little water in a jar so I may have a drink?"
11 As she was going to get it, he called, "And bring me, please, a piece of bread."
12 "As surely as the LORD your God lives," she replied, "I don't have any bread-- only a handful of flour in a jar and a little oil in a jug. I am gathering a few sticks to take home and make a meal for myself and my son, that we may eat it-- and die."
13 Elijah said to her, "Don't be afraid. Go home and do as you have said. But first make a small cake of bread for me from what you have and bring it to me, and then make something for yourself and your son.
14 For this is what the LORD, the God of Israel, says: 'The jar of flour will not be used up and the jug of oil will not run dry until the day the LORD gives rain on the land.'"
15 She went away and did as Elijah had told her. So there was food every day for Elijah and for the woman and her family.
16 For the jar of flour was not used up and the jug of oil did not run dry, in keeping with the word of the LORD spoken by Elijah.
Some would say that the boy who gave his lunch to Jesus (to feed the 5,000), PROBABLY got to take home some of the 12 BASKETS FULL that were left over :)
Prov 11:24-25 (RSV)
24 One man gives freely, yet grows all the richer (after its kind); another withholds what he should give, and only suffers want.
25 A liberal man will be enriched, and one who waters will himself be watered (after its kind).
--------------------------------------------
Look at THIS “AFTER ITS KIND” scripture:
Mark 10:29-30 (NIV)
29 "I tell you the truth," Jesus replied, "no one who has left home or brothers or sisters or mother or father or children or fields for me and the gospel
30 will fail to receive a hundred times as much in this present age (homes, brothers, sisters, mothers, children and fields-- and with them, persecutions) and in the age to come, eternal life.

(Demonstrate the “After its Kind” law with a SMILE).
------------------------------------------
Evil words and gossip WILL produce “AFTER ITS OWN KIND” and WILL come back to you .. NOTHING is immune to God’s law of producing “AFTER ITS KIND”.
-----------------------------------------
So. . . bottom line . . . learn this wisdom from the Word of God . . . WHATEVER you sow, you will reap the same thing - GOOD OR BAD (after its own kind):
Gal 6:7-9 (KJV)
7 Be not deceived; God is not mocked: for whatsoever a man soweth, that shall he also reap.
8 For he that soweth to his FLESH shall OF THE FLESH reap corruption; but he that soweth to the SPIRIT shall OF THE SPIRIT reap life everlasting.
9 And let us not be weary in well doing: for in due season we shall reap, if we faint not.
What will YOU sow this week ??
