Plant a Seed and Watch It Grow!
Jesus compares the workings of the kingdom of God to planting seeds in the earth. « When the seed is sown, » He said, « it grows up…. »
Notice He didn’t say that it would occasionally grow up. Or it grows up if it’s God’s will. He said, « It grows up and becomes greater. » Period.
God’s economy isn’t like ours. It isn’t up one day and down the other. It’s always the same and it always works perfectly. If you have good earth, good seed and good water, you’re going to have growth. It’s inevitable.
So, if you’re facing a need, don’t panic… plant a seed!
That seed may take the form of money or time or some other resources you have to give. But, no matter what form it takes, make sure you put life in it by giving it in faith and surrounding it with praise and worship. Say, « Lord, as I bring You my goods, I bring myself. I give myself to You–spirit, soul and body. »
Pray over that seed. Fill it with faith, worship and the Word. Then plant it. You can rest assured–it will grow up and become greater!
