GOOD SEEDS (I): THE WORD

Now the parable is this: The SEED is the WORD of GOD – Luke 8:11 (NKJV)

We’ve been mediating on “Possessing Good Things”! Another “good thing” that God blesses His people with is Good Seed. God operates by the Seed-Time-Harvest principle (Gen.8:22). Every fruit is a product of a seed (Gen.1:11). The nature of the seed determines that of the fruit. God desires us to be fruitful in all dimensions of destiny; hence, He gives us good seeds. To be fruitful means to be productive with what God has given you. Fruitfulness is the potential destiny of every seed. Good seeds result in good fruits. Bad seeds result in evil fruits or are destroyed and become wasted potential (Mt.7:17-19).

Today, tomorrow, and the day after, we shall meditate on the question: What are Goods Seeds?

First and foremost, the Word of God is Good Seed. God’s Word is incorruptible and indestructible Seed: “Having been born-again, not of corruptible seed but incorruptible, through the Word of God which lives and abides forever (1Pet.1:23). By inference, every promise of God is a precious, powerful, and living seed sown into your destiny, in expectation of harvests of Glory. Neither Satan nor any of his emissaries is permitted to tamper with or terminate the Seed of the Word in you.

The Word of God is the incorruptible Seed of divine life, continually planted, watered, and cultivated in human hearts. For example, until a person seeking a blessing is convinced from God’s Word that such a blessing is His Will, and acts on this, he or she is trying to reap a harvest where there is no seed planted. No sane farmer operates like that. Whatever is not based on the Word is dead. Success without the Word is not “good success”; such is shallow and will soon fade away (Jos.1:8). Healing without the Word is hollow and temporary (Psa.107:20). Riches without the Word are uncertain and transient; but being rich in the Word is profitable: it will make you rich in all dimensions of redemption (1Tim.6:17).

The Word of God is the Incorruptible Seed of your salvation and the New Birth. God’s promises are indestructible seeds. What is your attitude to the Word? You must value it, read it, memorize it, study it, meditate on it, believe it, and DO IT!
