As expected of human use of knowledge, many theories, postulations, theological views, historical facts as well as religious spiritual angles have been debated for or against the seeds of Abraham really means. One that people of God of Abraham debated against and for is the teaching on “The Seed and the seeds of Abraham.” There are people who agreed that every believer in Christ is seeds of Abraham. Others said ancient translations of the Bible never used ‘seeds’ but ‘seed’, therefore, being seeds of Abraham is incorrect. Many however believed that all Christians are seeds of Abraham taking their stand on seeds as children. Today’s devotional is looking at the “seeds of Abraham” with the view to tell us of what those calling themselves “seeds or children of Abraham are expected to be in this world.
There is need to let readers know briefly that we have physical seeds and spiritual seeds of Abraham. There are Abraham seeds which is the Hebrew people who descended from Abraham through Isaac. These are ‘physical seeds of Abraham. There are also the spiritual seeds of Abraham who are believers in Jesus Christ. This group comprises of all nationalities and ethnicities. Those who traced their origin to Abraham, Isaac and Jacob considered themselves as true sons of God. Still those who become Christians by believing in Jesus Christ and have themselves become born again see themselves as seeds of Abraham. Today’s devotional is presenting what one who sees self as seed of Abraham should be doing after Abraham as his seed.
Naturally, as discussed in the devotional editions of the “Power of Seed”, seeds of same plants or same crops look alike, produce fruits according to their kinds and types. This is applicable to those calling themselves “seeds of Abraham”. As Christians or Hebrew people who believe being Abraham seeds according to the Promises or spiritual seeds through believing in Jesus Christ, expectation for one to be who Abraham was in faith and relationships with God is what this devotional subscribes to. The Beloved, are you a seed of Abraham by the Promises or Spiritual birth? If your answer is affirmative, then how are you representing Abraham?
PRAYER:
LORD JESUS, you know exactly what the seed of Abraham really means. Kindly and according to your love on humanity grant me grace to be a true Abraham’s seed.
