Greetings beloved SteemChurch, be all welcome to my blog, today I want to talk a little about the seeds and fruits. We want good results, in all areas of life, but we do not always value the seeds. We struggle with the consequences for having been little attentive to the causes. If we want great achievements, we can not devalue humble beginnings.
He who is faithful in the little will be placed over much (Mt.25.21).
The fruits, in general, with their colors and flavors, are very attractive. The seeds, however, are very discreet. Many of them are despised, although they possess great genetic power for the multiplication and perpetuation of their species.
Present and future
We can not forget that the seeds of today are directly related to the fruits of tomorrow. Today's laziness will bring needs tomorrow. The actions of the present can return in multiplied quantity. All are sowers. We are always sowing for ourselves and for others. In a very special way, parents sow in the lives of their children. We must do it with great zeal, persistence and responsibility.
Small today, big morning
The grains, even if they are small, can generate large plants, even giant trees. Small seeds can produce great fruits. This is the case of watermelons.
Small gestures, words, teachings and examples can bring great consequences, good or bad. Some acts, carried out in a few minutes, can determine the direction of a life, marking the future indelibly. Our attitudes and decisions will produce many fruits, depending on the species we choose to plant.
The seeds are powerful. Many are devalued and go unnoticed. Some, having germinated in an inappropriate place, produce trees so strong that they are capable of breaking large structures.
"It is like the grain of mustard seed that a man took and threw in his garden, and it grew and became a great tree, and in its branches the birds of the sky nested" (Lk.13.19, Mc.4.31) .
Beware of the seeds
It is necessary to be vigilant in relation to the seeds that we are throwing in the soil of our life and also with those that other people throw at all times. We need to be vigilant, rejecting everything that can contaminate us. "The kingdom of heaven is like unto the man that soweth the good seed in his field: but as men slept, his enemy came and sowed tares in the midst of the wheat, and withdrew (Mt.13.24-25). Satan is a sower.
Spreading seeds can be easy. Picking them up can be very difficult, inadvisable or even impossible. Therefore, we can not be irresponsible. The harvest will be hard, if we have not planted the good. Eating the fruits can be a great suffering that we can not avoid. It is very easy to say offensive words, lies, slander, slander. However, the damage caused can be irreparable.
In this line of reasoning we can evaluate the seriousness of the sexual issue. The human seed generates the fruit of the belly, and that can not be realized in a light way. How many are spreading their valuable seed out there, as if God were not going to tell them about it!
Good or bad seeds
It is easy to see that bad seeds thrive on their own. The good ones need a lot of care, because they are the object of diverse predators.
"Behold, the sower went forth to sow, and when he sowed, a part of the seed fell at the foot of the road, and the birds came and ate it" (Mt.13.4). The seed of the word
Word of God is the seed of heaven blessed. We need to receive it every day in our hearts, taking care so that it does not get lost. Germination is not automatic. We need to accept the word and make decisions to apply it in our lives. Only in this way will it produce fruit. It is useless to leave the bible stored on the shelf or open on the table. The seed needs to be in the heart and in life. It needs to be cultivated and cared for so that it produces.
"In the morning sow your seed, and in the afternoon do not withdraw your hand, because you do not know which will prosper, if this, if that, or if both will be equally good" (Ec.11.6).
Attention, sowers!
The enemy is attentive to the sowing of the word of God. Biblical reading, preaching, teaching and meditation do not go unnoticed. Next, look for a way to hurt the seed of action in the life of man, as we see in the parable of the sower, proposed by the Lord Jesus:
"When a man hears the word of the kingdom and does not understand it, the wicked one comes and snatches away what was sown in his heart, this is the one sown at the foot of the road" (Mt.13.19).
Certainly, the enemy is very interested in stopping the work of the planters. Those who announce the Word of God should always be attentive. One of the forms of attack by Satan is something very subtle. He simply throws another seed in that field, another word in opposition to what God spoke.
Planting may seem like a waste of seeds and a waste of time.
When the seed falls on the ground, an immediate explosion occurs, and a huge plant appears? Nothing of that. At that moment nothing happens. The act of sowing seems useless and inoffensive. However, time goes by and everything changes. The plant grows and can produce countless fruits. A single planting can yield many crops. It's what happens with fruit trees.
The preacher of the gospel, or one who teaches the word of God, may not see immediate results of his effort, but he must not desist.
"He who carries the precious seed, walking and crying, will return, no doubt, with joy, bringing his sauces with him" (Psalm 126.6).
We can not be ignored. If we have good seeds, we must sow.
"Plant yourselves in righteousness, get out according to mercy, and the field of tillage, for it is time to seek the Lord, until righteousness comes upon you" (Os.10.12).
"Then he will give you rain on your seed, with which you sow the earth, as also bread of the newness of the earth, and this will be fertile and full, in that day your cattle will graze in long pastures" (Is.30.23) .
If the seed is good, but nothing is happening, do not be discouraged. Wait. On the other hand, if the seed is bad and the consequence seems not to come, do not think that God will leave the guilty in impunity. All sin is a malignant seed. The fruit of evil will come at the opportune time and reach the one who planted it.
The strain
Besides being sowers, we are also reapers, even if we do not want to. We can not ignore or belittle that.
"He who sows iniquity shall reap iniquity, and the rod of his insolence shall be broken" (Pv.22.8).
Repentance and conversion placate the greatest damage sin can cause, but not all. Therefore, prevention remains the best remedy.
"They are not wrong: God does not allow himself to be mocked, because everything that man sows, that will also reap" (Gal.6.7).
Beware of mixed seed
"Do not sow your vineyard with different species of seeds, that the fruit of the seed that sembras is degenerating, and the novelty of the vineyard. (Dt.22.9).
Some people want to serve two masters, as if that were possible.
They spread good seeds on Sunday and sow evil on the other days of the week. We can not do it. He who announces the gospel, but does not live according to the truth, will kill the good plants he tried to cultivate.
Choose good seeds and expect good fruit.
"He who gives seed to the sower, also gives you bread to eat, and multiplies your sowing, and increases the fruits of your righteousness" (IICo.9.10).
