Monocotyledon, Dicotyledon,  Zygotes, all of them reference to plant seeds. Time bombs of existence waiting for a prescribed moment to separate, reproduce and sprout for their encoded life into a world of mortality. Whispered and directed by God for a single purpose to interact with this created world and produce and specific singular or set of outcomes. To continue in existence, repeatedly to flourish and produce some manner of shade, fruit, food, covering, symbiosis and then perish to return a chemical measure of that recipe that created life to the soil for recycle. Do they question that purpose when bursting forth, a pear not wishing to be such but instead demanding to be converted to apple? No, this is something retained specifically for humans as a measure of their free will to determine either complicity, congruence and agreement with God or rebellion.

What is the power of a seed that it is the essential provision of each disciple? A seed planted in random soil, hoping for a certain set of circumstances based upon the soil’s comport to produce a glorious result determined only by God. We must look to the simple to confound the complex. A seed meets its purpose or fails, never wavering from that genetic engineering to by choice divert from that original intent. It is a gift and perhaps curse for man to make the decision to fight against the Lord’s intention for Life planted with the “SEED”, Sperm, and subsequent “FETUS” BABY. To mess with rearrange or determine outcomes or change the specific intentions of God for that seed is anathema to His Sovereignty. If you believe that you are just doing you, well think again, you have begun the war with God that shall not end pleasantly for you, even if it provides some short-term, sinful, sensory activation.

We did not make the seed, we do not encode the seed with its purpose, we do not trigger the seed to separate, divide, germinate or prosper.  We simply follow God’s rules for creation and provide water, fertilization and maintenance of the seed as it does what God programmed it to do, as any good steward would.  I cannot determine the quality of your soil, I cannot break up the hard ground or enrich the vitamins that may be missing from that soil to provide for solid, healthy Growth.  I cannot force a seed to sprout, but through patient care may be able to provide the environment and support for a seed to flourish in completion of its programming from God. My job is plant the seed and tend it. That being said, the Lord Jesus Christ came into this world to redeem us to God himself. God cannot be near sin and each of us having that sin in our lives must be cleansed of that unrighteousness prior to being in His presence. Christ provided the means for this eternal cleansing, by shedding His life to pay for the debt that all men owe, the debt of that sin which is death. He paid the death that we cannot pay if we are to live eternally, Being Born Again into that eternity through the price paid on that day He died voluntarily upon that Cross. We have but to confess this understanding, seeing our sin and the seed of His Eternality is placed within our hearts to sprout anew a life beyond our current mortal existence. That seed sealed by the indwelling of God’s Holy Spirit, transforms us into a new planting, new fruit, new man. This is the evolution that all men seek yet they somehow have been fooled to believe that there is any other purpose but that which God has given each seed. There is only one purpose within Creation and that is God’s Intent. Beyond it there is no hope, without it there is no life. Accept the seed of the Gospel of Good News that I am placing into your soil this day that God may in His perfect timing and intention make it sprout to produce a crop a thousand fold for the Glory of His Perfect Planning.

I pray for that seed to be tended in growth that it may transform you from simple mortality into the eternal person He originally intended that will never shine forth without this new planting, pruning and replenishing. In Jesus’ Holy Name.
