Seed

As I walked a courtyard the other day I noticed a berry bush. When I grabbed the berry I tried to inspect it to see if it was edible. The berry basically was smashed to a pulp in my fingers but what remained in my possession were the seeds from that berry.

                This was an insightful truth that then struck me. The most important thing still remained alive even though the fruit it’s self had perished.

                You see, if the fruit was great to eat and munch on but it had no seed inside of it, it would’ve been worthless. I say this because the whole entire purpose of a fruits existence is to multiply its self or reproduce.  Keyword, produce means bring into existence; conceive, put on display. We are so used to looking at the outer shell of people, cars, houses, shoes, and clothes etc… that we rarely ever appreciate the inner care of a thing, We as people fail to realize that  without that inner care or seed the fruit or anything else outside of the reproduction process is simply frivolous.

                Think of a mans “seed” or sperm a man w/o it bloodline stops with himself. No jr. of that man. No 2^nd 3^rd or fourth generation of that man either. This is according to scripture( ps. 37:28) was considered a curse from GOD himself because part of the blessing to mankind is to reproduce ( gen. 9:1) This is one of the reasons homosexuality is totally against GOD  and his holy scripture, because there can be no reproduction taking place resulting in the annihilation of a particular group of people.

                Remember the berry I grabbed a hold of and squeezed at the beginning of this chapter. I’ could have easily looked that bruised outside of the berry which was protection for the seed as the main focal point of the existence of the berry itself. We as shoppers do it all the time. We go to the store and squeeze, rub and inspect the fruit for eating and never even think of letting that damaged fruit reproduce itself in a way that would stun us if given the chance by being the seed of a bruised fruit to be a much stronger and tougher fruit because the seed must preserve its self. Remember the outside of a berry, apple, orange, or plum is the protection and covering to preserve the fruit. Yes fruit looks great at times and the seed is most times unseemly and and it taste great to eat ripe fruit but if the seed dies in the fruit it destroys the fruit it’s self (Joel 1:19) let’s look at it a GODLY perspective the apostle John 3:9 ESV. “No one born of GOD makes a practice of sinning, for GOD’s seed abides in him, and he cannot keep on sinning because he has been born of GOD.

                We as Christians are so caught up in looking for fruit and many times we should, but we must never forget this passage of scripture. For, if we have been truly born of GOD we don’t have to look for fruits of the spirit (gal. 5:22) because they are inevitably coming forth in due time. A born again saint of GOD cannot harbor, play or indulge in any sins because the seed, which is the most important part, lives in him. It is no longer a “struggle” w/ a particular sin because struggle implies outward opposition. (But when people say struggle they imply an inward opposition.) The seed of GOD that lives in the saints is holy, righteous and incineration of all sin. This holy seed destroys, not toys w/ sin. The only things that GOD’s seed produces is  light, truth, justice, humility, meekness, holiness, righteousness, grace, love, patience, temperance, gentleness, peace, joy, faithfulness, kindness, and self-control, mercy or temperance. If  a person thinks that they are one of the chosen few one the elite of GOD chosen before the foundation of the earth and these attributes are not rapidly flourishing in their lives they must immediately evaluate themselves and check to see if they are truly in “the faith”

                There are perhaps millions who do not have the seed of the only wise GOD living in them who profess to be his sheep. Woe unto all who have not allowed their seed to die so that Christ who died for all can bring forth much fruit. He is that seed that makes fruit reproduce and he wants to multiply of himself in you. Allow him the rights of caretaker of the garden of your heart right now. Let the power of his spirit chop down all weeds in your life and receive the fresh and pure water of the truth of His WORD and allow the sun of Righteousness to grow His seed in you with the miracle of regeneration. Become that tree that’s (ps.1) planted by the rivers of waters that will always produce 100 fold for the kingdom of the almighty GOD. LORD and king of the universes.
