Genesis 1:11 - "And God said, Let the earth bring forth grass, the herb yielding seed, and the fruit tree yielding fruit after his kind, whose seed is in itself, upon the earth: and it was so."
Fruits by their nature, reproduce themselves. God ordained it so. The apple tree produces apples. The fig tree produces figs. The oak tree produces acorns. The tree is known by it's fruit. What kind of fruit are you producing?
Good seed produces good fruit and the fruit of the Spirit is "love, joy, peace, longsuffering, patience, faith, goodness, meekness, and temperance; against such there is no law." (Galatians 5:22-23) We can only produce what's already inside us. One sows, one waters, but God gives the increase. What kind of fruit do you embody?
Evil seed produces the things God hates. (See Proverbs 6:16-19.) The seventh is an abomination; "sowing discord among brethren." Luke 19:22-26 reveals that wasting "seed" means eternal loss.
Broadcast the seed! Sow it everywhere, anytime, anyplace; make the effort! Mustard seed is the tiniest of seeds, yet, when planted, it grows into a "tree" in which the birds can roost.
Editor's Note: Rob is a vital part of our youth leadership team. Aftter his graduation from college, he is employed as a teacher in an elemntary charter school in Dearborn Heights. This message was both - timely and a blessing to the church.
