This Year Stay Planted!!!

 


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.

Stretch

Isa. 54:2 “Enlarge the place of your tent, And let them stretch out the curtains of your dwellings; Do not spare; Lengthen your cords, And strengthen your stakes. The concept of stretching is very important for anyone who desires to make any meaningful progress in life. God has so designed everything in a manner that makes it almost impossible to make progress without any stretch. Even the human body grows by this same concept. It has been revealed that for a muscle to grow, it must first undergo "micro-tears." When you lift a weight that is slightly too heavy, the muscle fiber stretches and tears. It is only in the repair of those tears that the muscle becomes larger and stronger than before. If there is no tension, there is no transformation. The "pain" of the stretch is actually the signal that growth is happening. So If the human body grows by stretching, it follows to say that to reach anything significant in this life, we must stretch. God will always require ...

Resist The Pressure to Perform

A quote often attributed to Abraham Lincoln says, "If I had six hours to chop down a tree, I'd spend the first four hours sharpening the axe." Yet we live in a time when everyone seems to be more concerned with how quickly they can cut down their own tree than with whether their axe is sharp enough to get the job done. This reflects the intense pressure to perform that many of us face every day. When I speak of the pressure to perform, I am not referring only to workplace demands, but to the pressure we experience in our personal lives to produce visible results. Pressure can be a good thing when it is properly managed. It can motivate us to grow, improve, and reach our goals. However, when left unchecked, it can become destructive. One of the surest ways to manage the pressure to perform is by refusing to let the success of others become a source of unhealthy pressure in your own life. If you allow that to happen, you do yourself a great disservice. It is only natural to...
