Discussing on the power of seed is building on the natural root something is taken from before coming into existence in the world. Yesterday’s devotional established a fact that supports a theory saying that every seed bears same types and kinds as long as the world last. This makes seed very powerful. In establishing these facts, we were made to know that human beings and God, by the knowledge of seed, share same types and kinds in a larger degree physically, spiritually and emotionally. In evangelical term, everyone born again automatically become the seed of God through the word of God (1 Peter 1: 23). By creation, all human beings are seeds of God because He created us all. We are therefore, to be seen as one type and kind with God in behaviour and doing things. The earthly people would say: “Like father and son.”
By application, God sow Himself as seed into us when He created us. The breath from God’s nostrils breathed upon Adam that became a living being is seed of God (Gen. 2: 7). Again, we become the seed of God when His Holy Spirit came into us through getting born again in His words. The obvious power of the seed is ability to bear fruits. The fruits bear by the crops or the trees and the seeds produced are to be everything of the crop or the tree. Christians as the seeds of God should be able to produce fruits which are exact nature and characters of God. Jesus who is the incarnate seed of God bears fruits of all good things. In terms of power, He has both power and authority over all things in heaven and on the earth. In image and likeness Jesus bore every fruit of righteousness, holiness, divine wisdom and powerful insights all hidden knowledge.
God is an Eternal Being, so is Jesus. His fruit, among other fruits is “eternal” life. Reason He is said whoever received Him will be given eternal life. As a seed of God who was given the power to crush the head of serpent, Jesus demonstrated this by His miraculous works and works of wonders. As a seed of God, serpent only bruised His heels through various attempts to kill Him. He however “crushed the head of serpent (satan) when He rose from the death. As Christians and seeds of God by creation and becoming born again, we are carriers of all the characteristics of God and Jesus. We are to exercise powers over demons and other forces of darkness. We are to operate in the righteousness and holiness of Christ and God. We are to bear fruits of the Spirit as inscribed by Apostle Paul in Galatians 5: 22 – 23. The power to do all that are mentioned in this passage is in the seed breathed into us by the Almighty God.
PRAYER:
FATHER JEHOVAH, let the power you embedded in your seed breathed into me begin to germinate, produce fruits befitting your types and kinds from today in Jesus name.
