We are all likened always in the scriptures as a fertile ground. Have you ever wondered why the fertility of the ground is not questioned always but rather there is major emphasis on the seed or the sower.
Behold we are the handmaid of the Lord and as we know the originality of our existence lies in the assurance of who we are with the creator. He is not worried as to what we are but rather worried as to what we have allowed to bear fruit inside of us. It is very very understanding that when seeds are spread on a good soil, it must bear fruit and it does not matter how it is sown. I remember in the cultivation of Cassava and some root tubers, they need to be sown deep into the earth by avenues like ridges or heaps while for leguminous plants, shallow depths are better.
In the kingdom of God, we are all termed as fertile cause our creator made us so from the beginning and in his words, he insisted that we guide our mind from the external influence of the ways of the world most important than any other thing in comparism.
Keep vigilant watch over your heart;that’s where life starts.
Don’t talk out of both sides of your mouth; avoid careless banter, white lies, and gossip. Keep your eyes straight ahead; ignore all sideshow distractions.
Watch your step, and the road will stretch out smooth before you. Look neither right nor left; leave evil in the dust.
So what has the nature of seed for planting gats to do with my mind? How is it that one must guide his or her mind? What does these things mean? We are not far from doubts in this stage but it is in the revelation of these truths that we can reflect on who we truly are and why we are here in the first place.
When a seed is sown, many factors are involved in the development and growth of that seed until it finally becomes a successful tree that gives protection to other smaller plants, home for other living creatures and successfully yielding fruits in its season. So when the seed lacks its fair share of water, light and energy, it is most likely going to deplete its growth into success as much as if it has too much of these as well.
The human mind is a fertile ground and it is in this that every man truly catches an understanding of awareness and well being. The brain works like a processing machine, the heart coordinates life functions but the mind is not a bodily form, it is the spirit filled nature we are yet to familiarize with and it simply is the true self we are in that when the body gets wasted, we still have a wholesomeness that cannot be challenged but rather filled with all the tales of our activities from our point of awareness till this very moment. What we do with the organs we have allows the mind to register permanence and accredit a particular feelings to it in any way we want it to be so that we can either be comfortable with it or the other way round.
Suppose a seed is planted and denied water but allowed sunshine and free CO2, what we gat is a tree that could have lost all its leaves in that it adapts to its lack and build another source of existence that is not favorable but keeps it alive for as much as it thinks it can. This is what many souls do today, they have lost the connection to the true living water in their life so what they do is adapt and create a supplementary source of this water nature but instead are allowed to live as long as they can and supposedly stumble upon success and thank that is how they were suppose to live. We now simply have forgotten that even the scriptures reminded us that life is not by power, neither by strength but by the spirit of the Lord.
“This is the word of the Lord to Zerubbabel:
‘Not by might nor by power, but by My Spirit,’ Says the Lord of hosts.
So if remember when Adam was first created on earth, he had no alternative but the presence of the Lord where the goodness of the Lord reigned in full. He had the fullness of God person in him, around him and with him as he was in a restful abundance that was never challenged. He lived and could face the presence of God but someone was not happy about this coexisting nature of man, how can man have such power to be able to relate with the God head as mates? Yes the wicked one was not glad that God has found a favorite in his creation and decided to destroy the link and having the knowledge that sin was the only way, he planted that seed in one and it spread through affection to the other and thus the fall of man from restfulness to restlessness.
But in all these man has been redeemed again by the new Adam, who came to die for all the offenses of man that he may become sin for us that we be righteous for him. So he took our nature and replaced it with his and allowed us the wisdom of old that even the first man never had the chance to fully experience until the catastrophe fell. So the wisdom of God has come upon us and like a seed which was planted to destroy the bond between man and the creator, another was planted to repair the bond and seal it for eternity. If sin needed a bullock all the time for sacrifice, we can never offer enough cause it does not even come close to bringing us closer to his righteousness. We are a damned creation from the eye of the Lord but his love never allowed him turn away from us, so if you find yourself saved from an offense another can not get rid of, do not be impatience and curse behind your breath, please pray on behalf of the person that the good Lord would reveal to him or her the ways of God and the access to a new life with a new style.
What you ingest is what you become. What you plant into your fertile ground is what you would finally see yourself becoming. In the recourse of life, you started feeling insecure and afraid of the next moment, you would have no reason not to finally fall a victim of insomnia or psychosis, cause for any thing to come upon any individual, we must first accept its possibility in the mind by sowing it there first before we can finally begin to see it in the natural. So when you seek something good, what must you do? This is where your human intelligence comes in and that is why you are a sower cause you sow seeds of greatness or damnation every single day of your life and most likely every hour of the day. So when you seek for seed to sow, what kind of seeds do you think would yield a very good harvest?
If you are having an issue in life and it seems not to go away, you need to surrender that issue to the Lord Jesus Christ and ensure you can remember when that issue started and why it started and surrender the root cause of the issue and think of it no more. When you forgive, you must do your very very best to let it go. It never comes easy but it does well to keep trying and focus on the Lord. Never doubt what you have at the moment and ensure while you try to uproot a forbidden tree in your life, you must sow more of God's seed in your life cause in his seeds springs forth greatness, strength, power, fufillment, success, intelligence, wisdom, inspiration, faith, hope, love, and many many more fruits of the Holy Spirit.
Choose wisely what you allow your mind to ingest cause it finally makes you or destroys you. Have a blessed Sunday friends and do ensure you were at the church service today for his seeds to constantly reach you assuringly.
