The seed defines a new beginning, and the potential for
greatness. In Mark 4:30-32, Jesus describes the kingdom of God as a small seed
which is sown in the ground.
The system of God gives credence to the seed principle, so we
can clearly say that God’s default system of birthing anything great is to
begin with a seed. However, there are challenges that the seed bearer must overcome
to allow the seed realize its full potential.
For most people, the biggest of these challenges is not; trying
to recognize the seed, or paying close enough attention to prevent the seed
from getting lost after recognizing it; the biggest challenge is keeping the
seed planted in the ground. This sounds like it shouldn’t have been a challenge
at all, but it is.
The ability of your seed to fulfill its great potential lies not just in you discovering that seed, but in sowing that seed in the ground, and letting that seed stay planted for as long as is required for the course of nature to set in for that seed to germinate and grow.
Whatever your seed is, it could be an idea you have, a trade
you learnt, it could be a ministry, it could be a small business, or even a
career you have just started out, that seed has the potential to be very great
if you will diligently put your hands to the work. You have got to dig in and
lay the seed in the ground to begin the growth process. This is no longer the
time to run here and there, this is the time to put your hand to the work. This
is also where you learn the value of patience, as God takes you through the process.
James 1:4 But let
patience have her perfect work, that ye may be perfect and entire, wanting
nothing.
When you put your seed in the ground, it begins to attract
all the needed nutrients right there where it is sown. The seed doesn’t have to run up and down to get nutrients, rather it stays in there, and all the
nutrients required come to meet it there, and cause it to germinate and grow in
that same place. Pulling out your seed every time to check its progress or to take it to another place
where you think it will get better nutrients doesn't help any bit, such actions will simply amount to killing the seed. Even
If you think that the seed is lacking in some nutrient required for growth, find
a way to get the nutrient to the seed as much as possible and not vice versa.
This is the kingdom way of making great things out of seemingly
small and insignificant things, and once you understand this and begin to apply
it, you can expect things to flourish in your hands. It may take time, but keep
at it, your seed will grow.
