SEED BEARERS
Everything comes from seed. Plants produce seeds and when they are planted and watered, they reproduce after their kind. (Genesis 1:12.)
We are the seed (offspring) of Adam. God intended for seeds to grow and reproduce. When a plant is done reproducing it starts to wither. It begins with the leaves, and then goes to the stem and then the roots. Then it becomes lifeless and useless, and the only thing it is good for is the compost pile. It has served its purpose.
God intended for mankind to reproduce also. He spoke the words “be fruitful and multiply” to Adam and Eve. He expected them to reproduce.
All nature reproduces after its kind. When animals are hybrids, they do not reproduce. How sad that the Church has become a place of spiritual hybrids. People receive the Word of God (Seed) to receive salvation. Now they have spiritual life, but so often they are not taught to reproduce. The seed (Word) has been planted into their hearts, but, when they leave it dormant (by not witnessing to the lost) it never brings forth life. It literally has no purpose.
Like dead plants, it causes the church that those people are a part of to end up being dead. There is no future in a church like that because there is no new life. There must always be reproduction in a church to perpetuate life and make it a church that is healthy.
How awesome that God put His seed in us, and we can bring forth life into others by planting the Word into them. This happens when we share Christ with others. We plant the word and God brings forth fruit. Proverbs 11:30 says, “The fruit of the righteous is a tree of life; and he that winneth souls is wise.” The wise person plants seed into other lives.
Perhaps we should examine our lives and see if we are yielding fruit. Many persons think that the fruit of the Christian is the fruit of the spirit. That is what should happen when we are saved. The true fruit of a Christian is another Christian. Don’t take lightly what God has given you. Let the seed of God bring life to others.
GOD BLESS YOU
