SEED

SEED

There are two hundred and fifty references in the Bible. Beginning with Genesis, then woven as a thread in a garment, being found in almost every book ending with Revelation. There is basically one Hebrew word for seed in the Old Testament and one in the Greek in the New Testament.

The Hebrew word is “zera” (pronounced: zeh-rah) which describes something that is sown, yields, bears, conceives and produces. The Greek word is “sperma” (pronounced: sper-mah) which translates as “the grain or kernel which contains within itself the germ of the future plant. In Genesis God created this earth with “and God said” then He placed seed within much of His creation and declared that what He had created would yield/produce because its “seed was in itself.” (Genesis 1:11-12)

The entire plan of redemption can be summed up in this concept: God saw a need in the earth, so He planted a seed, HIS SON into it and the rest is…WELL…you know the story and the answer.

In the Old Testament, God began with the seed principle and the earth began to produce. In the New Testament, God’s plan was to sow the seed of His Son into the hearts and lives of humanity (if you will allow me…EARTH). Every seed is designed with the DNA to produce after its own kind. The seed of “…Christ in you…” (Colossians 1:27) is a master blueprint to produce His GLORY in/and through you to the world.

The Psalmist David proclaimed that “…the earth is the LORD’S, and the fullness thereof…” (Psalms 24:1). Our earth (life) is supposed to be fertile ground where all that God has planted/formed in us can be harvested for His Glory. The only thing holding back the coming of the Lord is that His earth (us) must manifest the precious fruit (James 5:7).

You will bloom where He plants you, you will produce a harvest that will bring Him much glory. Your destiny, your calling, your abundance, everything you are and everything you need is ALREADY in you in seed form. As long as the “…earth remaineth…” (You) the ability for “seedtime and harvest” exists. (Genesis 8:22)

God has already sown into your life all that pertains to life and godliness. You future is contained within you earth, and I can promise you that your future is bright. Let the rains of His Spirit come, let the light of His Word reveal and expose, the seed in you will germinate and His harvest will be produced in/and through you. I guess you could say, “It’s always been a seed thing.”

Think twice before you speak, because your words and influence and will plant the seed of either success or failure in the mind of you or another.
