Don't Eat Your Seed - Part 2
We have established in Part 1 of the message 'Don't Eat Your Seed', (http://beyond-measure.blogspot.com/2006/09/dont-eat-your-seed.html) that God has given each of us a seed. A package for our earthly journey. A seed to sow, grow and flow. Sow in faith. Grow in love, patience and endurance. Flow in abundance. Not using this seed we reasoned, meant eating our seed. Swallowing our investment towards the God-given destiny that the enemy is trying to take away from us.
But eating our seed not just hinders our future. Eating our seed can also hinder someone else's destiny. Imagine for example, your seed to be a gift of caring. If you only cared for yourself, no doubt you would be well groomed, healthy, shining, gleaning and all the benefits that come with caring. To friends and critics alike, you would be greatly or secretly admired. If this caring nature, however did not extend to the dying world out there, alas you are merely like a hidden, lighted candle. Glowing in it's own little corner, bringing light to a confined area only. Yet, bringing that candle out in the open, illuminates a greater darkness in the same way a caring person reaches out to the hungry and suffering would.
God has given you a seed (or seeds) to equip you and others. As you reach out with that talent and use it for others, God begins to multiply your harvest several fold. In using that seed, you are furthering His kingdom. And you will find more seeds begin to supernaturally come forth. All because you have dared to reach out with your seed.
If John Wesley, Billy Graham, T D Jakes, David Cho, Martin Luther King, Nelson Mandela, Mother Theresa, Florence Nightingale, to name a few, had eaten their seed, where would we find these names in the hero pages of our History books today? The world is looking for people with seeds. Don't eat yours. Remember to use yours to bless others!
