Prayer Email archive: (06/07/2001) where is the seed? |
Hello prayer warriors,
1. Prayer note: where is the seed? I started on a series on seedtime and harvest. Most of these points are insights from listening to Charles Nieman when he came to my church to share a message on this. We've probably all known about seedtime and harvest for quite some time. We know that we need to sow in order to reap. If we stop sowing, there will be no harvest to reap. However, where do we find the seed to sow? [Genesis 1:11] RSV And God said, "Let the earth put forth vegetation, plants yielding seed, and fruit trees bearing fruit IN WHICH IS THEIR SEED, according to its kind, upon the earth." And it was so. The seed is in the fruit, or in the harvest. Where is the harvest in your life? If you are still healthy, you are reaping the harvest of the seeds that you have sown into your health. If you are still married, you are reaping the harvest of the seeds that you have sown into your marriage. You are experiencing harvest time even right now in many areas of your life because of the seeds that you have sown in the past. Every day of our lives, we are experiencing harvest time and seed time. Because you still have this harvest, you have the seeds to sow to continue having a harvest in the future. The seed is in your current harvest in life. A farmer knows that. The first thing a farmer does when he collects his harvest is to put aside seed from the harvest to sow back into the land for the next harvest. If he stops sowing, he stops getting future harvest. This is such a simple principle, but sometimes we fail to see that. Because we have a harvest now, we stop planting seeds. We wait until our harvest is dwindling and then we start looking for seeds to plant. The good news is that when you still have harvest left, you still have seeds which you can plant. If you are sick but you are still able to breathe and talk, you still have harvest left which means that you still have seeds that you can sow into your health. If you are in financial need but still have enough income to survive, you still have harvest which means that you have seeds to sow. Unfortunately, some people don't fully understand the principle of seed-time and harvest. When their harvest is dwindling, they try to save whatever harvest is left and stop planting seeds. Imagine a farmer doing that? Your harvest in life is dependent on the seeds that you plant. If you are in financial lack, the more is your need to apply bible principles to start tithing to God's kingdom. You have to sow in order to reap. The only way to save your harvest is to create new harvest and to plant seeds. That is the principle of seed-time and harvest. The only way you can reverse a situation of lack is to sow. You do not reverse a situation of lack by trying to save up the existing harvest. No matter what your situation, whether it is a problem with a relationship, with your work or your finances, if you still have your harvest, you still have seeds to sow. That is the only way to increase your harvest. Look for those seeds in your current harvest and learn to sow for your next harvest. 2. New prayer requests: i.
