Genesis 8:22
While the earth remains, seedtime and harvest, cold and heat, summer and winter, and day and night shall not cease.
Each seed within you has a climate in which it will germinate and grow. The climate may be warm, very cold or very hot. The situations of our lives are the climate we need for the germination and growth of a particular seed that God is bringing to life in us. That is why life is in seasons. Some seeds in the natural may require freezing temperatures to break dormancy while others will require forest fires (very hot temperatures) to do the same. Ever wondered why sometimes things get very hot in your life? You find yourself between a rock and a hard place and nothing seems to be working? There is a seed within you that requires those conditions in order to germinate and grow.
Sometimes everyone in your family deserts you. Family and friends give you the cold shoulder and one look at their cold eyes plunges your life into freezing temperatures. That is the temperature conducive to germinate and grow the seed within you. Sometimes all is right with the world. Life is sunny and easy. That too is the temperature required for God to germinate and grow a particular seed within you. Every season of your life is doing a work in you that will bring multiplication and fruitfulness even when you can’t see how it will happen. The seasons of your life will include cold and hot, summer time when life is bright and sunny, and winter time when things look frigid and frozen, daytime and night seasons as well. All this is to ensure that you will always have seedtime and harvest.
Christ is the light of the world. His light is a factor in ensuring that the seed that is within you germinates and grows.
Psalm 36:9
For with You is the fountain of life; in Your light do we see light.
God’s light is a fountain of life.
Psalm 43:3
“O send out Your light and Your truth…” You must ask him to send light.
Isaiah 60:19
The sun shall no more be your light by day, nor for brightness shall the moon give light to you, but the Lord shall be to you an everlasting light, and your God your glory and your beauty.
The dark places that you have had to pass through in life have also been necessary to bring forth a certain seed in you and though the enemy intended them for your harm, God intended it for your good.
Genesis 50:20
“You intended to harm me, but God intended it for good to accomplish what is now being done, the saving of many lives.”
Mark 4:8
And other seed [of the same kind] fell into good (well-adapted) soil and brought forth grain, growing up and increasing, and yielded up to thirty times as much, and sixty times as much, and even a hundred times as much as had been sown.
Mark 4:20
And those sown on the good (well-adapted) soil are the ones who hear the Word and receive and accept and welcome it and bear fruit--some thirty times as much as was sown, some sixty times as much, and some [even] a hundred times as much.
The quality of the soil in which your seed is planted is based on the word of God. How you receive that word, accept it, and welcome it so that it can produce for you the fruit you need. You must therefore partake of the word on a daily basis and not just hear it but do the word as well in order to ensure a great harvest. What is the quality of your soil? Is it good soil?
Action Points:
1) Oxygen – Prophesy to the wind that it may come from the four corners of the earth to blow on your seed that it may live.
2) Water – Ask the Lord for rain in its season.
3) Temperature – Ask the Lord to allow the climate that will ensure the germination and sustained growth of your seed.
4) Light or darkness – Ask the Lord Jesus, the light of the world, to shine on you and ask that where necessary, darkness will come only to cause germination, growth and maturity in your life.
5) Soil – Cultivate good ground by reading, welcoming, accepting, receiving and assimilating the word of God into every area of your life.
