Seeds beget harvests only when they are planted. Bread begets
waste. When seeds are not planted for any reason whatsoever ranging from greed,
laziness, selfishness, disobedience and rebellion; seeds dry, rot and are
wasted. They do not benefit anyone. They are wasted and God hates waste.
Seeds are divinely designed to be planted and not eaten
or wasted on account of laziness. Please see Ecclesiastes Chapter 11 verses 1
to 6, Genesis Chapters 9 verse 22; 26 verses 12 to 14 and John Chapter 12 verse
24. Therefore, plant seeds when they should be planted and most importantly on
the right soils.
Always separate seeds from bread. Every wise farmer does
that. Please see Psalm 126 verses 5 to 6. Isaac planted in tears in Gerar. Why and
how, you might ask? There was a famine in the land – a consequence of drought,
unproductive soils yet God commanded Isaac to plant his precious seeds in that
land. No wise farmer plants his seeds in a land or ground where there is drought,
the ground id unproductive or has low yield. Yet, Isaac did because God
commanded him to do so. The result of his obedience was overwhelming abundant
harvests that made him richer than the indigenes of Gerar.
Do not despise the size of your seed as every seed has
potential for greatness. Besides, the productivity of the seed does not depend
on the size. A seed no matter how small always produces abundant harvest when planted.
The mustard seed though small; grew into a large tree that not only accommodated
the birds of the air but also produced mustards and seeds for the benefit of
humanity. Please see Luke Chapter 13 verse 19. It is said that great things and
achievements start with small beginnings. Please see Job Chapters 8 verse 7; 42
verse 12. The Bible also cautions against despising the day of small
beginnings. Please see Zechariah Chapter 4 verses 6 to 10.
