Seed
We are going to talk about seed today.
Everything in God works by seed. He sowed the seed of His Word and the earth was created; you and I were created when He breathed the breath of life (which is His Word) into us. He told us that as long as the earth remains, seedtime and harvest will remain. There is seedtime and harvest and then there is sowing and reaping. We are the ones who sow and reap by the words of our mouths (which should be filled with God's Word and not man's word). God causes the seed to grow (seed - time) and brings the seed to ripeness for the harvest. But the harvest will sit in the field of our hearts if we don't deliberately, on purpose, speak forth God's Word and believe that it will do in our lives personally what He says it will do.
Let's look at some scriptures--some involving natural things but which can be applied to the spiritual as well. God's natural world is a mirror in some ways of the spiritual world. The challenge with the natural world is that it got messed up by sin.
Deut. 28:4 Blessed shall be the fruit of my body....
Ps. 37:26 ...his seed (the seed of the righteous) is blessed.
Prov. 11:21 ...the seed of the righteous shall be delivered.
Isa. 44:3 I will pour My spirit on your seed.
Deut. 30:19 I choose life that both I and my seed may live.
From these scriptures which actually refer to our children, we can also see that God will bless seed, pour His Spirit on seed and as we choose Him Who is Life, the seed of our words, backed by His Word will live. Every thought, every word, every action is a seed that you and I plant every day. Thank God for the blood of Jesus when we plant the wrong seed. His blood cleanses and washes away all that is not of Him, when we repent and ask Him to cleanse us.
The phrase "in Christ" is so significant because if we be Christ's, then we are Abraham's seed and all God promised him is ours. So meditate scriptures that refer to "in Christ" or "in whom" or "in Him." They will cause you to know who you are and what authority you have in this world. The meekest people I know are those who know their authority in Christ. They are confident and their confidence produces love and assurance to others wherever they go.
I leave you with these scriptures regarding Truth and the Word. God's Word is Truth and is the seed we are to sow in this life.
Eph. 4:21 ...all Truth is in Jesus, embodied and personified in Him.
Eph. 4:15 Let my life lovingly express Truth in all things, speaking truly, dealing truly, living truly....
Rom. 3:3
What if some did not believe and were without fault? Does their lack of faith and their faithlessness nullify and make ineffective and void the faithfulness of God and His fidelity to His Word?
Isa. 55:11,12
So shall My Word be that goes forth out of My mouth; it shall not return to Me void [without producing any effect, useless], but it shall accomplish that which I please and purpose, and it shall prosper in the thing for which I sent it.
For you shall go out with joy and be led forth by your Leader, the Lord Himself, and His Word, with peace; the mountains and the hills shall break forth before you into singing and the trees of the field shall clap their hands.
