Devo Seed time and Harvest Part 19
Matthew 13:23 (NIV)
23 But the seed falling on good soil refers to someone who hears the word and understands it. This is the one who produces a crop, yielding a hundreds, sixty or thirty times what was sown.”
I think sometimes we forget the power of multiplication. Don’t despise the days of small beginnings. I know most would equate this with money, but what about souls. It is about souls. Each generation of Christians should be multiplying itself. When working on the farm we had a plague hit the crops one year and almost wiping out this particular crop. We had to work extra hard that year trying to separate the diseased crop from the good. That year the crop did not multiply, but instead we lost most of what we had. It took years to recover. The same can happen in the church and I believe it is. The good thing is this plague left us with an unusually hardy and stronger seed for the following years.

Devo Seed time and Harvest Part 16
John 4:34-38 King James Version (KJV)
34 Jesus saith unto them, My meat is to do the will of him that sent me, and to finish his work.
35 Say not ye, There are yet four months, and then cometh harvest? behold, I say unto you, Lift up your eyes, and look on the fields; for they are white already to harvest.
36 And he that reapeth receiveth wages, and gathereth fruit unto life eternal: that both he that soweth and he that reapeth may rejoice together.
37 And herein is that saying true, One soweth, and another reapeth.
38 I sent you to reap that whereon ye bestowed no labour: other men laboured, and ye are entered into their labours.
Now is the time of harvest not four months from now. When wheat is white it falls off in your hands. It will be blow off by a good wind. It is not too late for harvest but close. The hard work and waiting is done go harvest the souls.

Devo Seedtime and Harvest Part 15
Joel 2:23-32 New International Version (NIV)
  23 Be glad, people of Zion,
    rejoice in the Lord your God,
for he has given you the autumn rains
    because he is faithful.
He sends you abundant showers,
    both autumn and spring rains, as before.
24 The threshing floors will be filled with grain;
the vats will overflow with new wine and oil.
  25 “I will repay you for the years the locusts have eaten--
    the great locust and the young locust,
    the other locusts and the locust swarm[a]--
my great army that I sent among you.
26 You will have plenty to eat, until you are full,
    and you will praise the name of the Lord your God,
    who has worked wonders for you;
never again will my people be shamed.
27 Then you will know that I am in Israel,
    that I am the Lord your God,
    and that there is no other;
never again will my people be shamed.28 “And afterward,
    I will pour out my Spirit on all people.
Your sons and daughters will prophesy,
    your old men will dream dreams,
    your young men will see visions.
29 Even on my servants, both men and women,
    I will pour out my Spirit in those days.
30 I will show wonders in the heavens
    and on the earth,
    blood and fire and billows of smoke.
31 The sun will be turned to darkness
    and the moon to blood
    before the coming of the great and dreadful day of the Lord.
32 And everyone who calls
    on the name of the Lord will be saved;
for on Mount Zion and in Jerusalem
    there will be deliverance,
    as the Lord has said,
even among the survivors
    whom the Lord calls
God is pouring out His Spirit and the harvest is here. This is the great latter day outpouring of his Spirit.

Devo Seedtime and Harvest Part 7
John 1:1-5 King James Version (KJV)
1 In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God.
2 The same was in the beginning with God.
3 All things were made by him; and without him was not anything made that was made.
4 In him was life; and the life was the light of men.
5 And the light shineth in darkness; and the darkness comprehended it not.
I highlighted a few things that I think are very important. The Word was God, the word is the same as God, all things were made by Him, and in Him is life. The potential is in the seed. God planted His son in the earth to bring life to our dying souls. He came to earth the second seed made fully man. So God could put His potential in us. WOW! Never underestimate the power of a single seed. It can fill the whole earth. The life is in the seed and God has put that life in us. Hosea 4:6 says God’s people perish for lack of understanding. The just don’t get the power of the seed.

Devo Seedtime and Harvest Part 6
Luke 8:11 King James Version (KJV)
11 Now the parable is this: The seed is the word of God.
God’s word is the seed. We were told in the word that He would come in Gen. 3:15. Adam was the first seed and his offspring covered the earth. People, never underestimate the power of a single seed. Christ is the second seed. One led to death the other leads to life.

Devo Seedtime and Harvest Part 5
Mark 4:26-28 New International Version (NIV)
26 He also said, “This is what the kingdom of God is like. A man scatters seed on the ground. 27 Night and day, whether he sleeps or gets up, the seed sprouts and grows, though he does not know how. 28 All by itself the soil produces grain—first the stalk, then the head, then the full kernel in the head.
Let’s recap what we have learned before we go on. I know this may seem simple but stick with me. It is important to every aspect of your being. Seed must lose its life and stop feeding from its mother host, die and fall to ground and be planted. The ground does not care what grows in it but will let anything to do so. The seed sprouts, grows and begins to produce seed or life. When it the seeds have matured the cycle starts all over again. This simple and yet most “believers” don’t live by it. We have only begun this study. If you walk by faith you will live by these simple principles, both in the flesh and Spirit.

Devo Seedtime and Harvest Part 3

Genesis 2:8 King James Version (KJV)
8 And the Lord God planted a garden eastward in Eden; and there he put the man whom he had formed.
John 12:24 New International Version (NIV)
24 Very truly I tell you, unless a kernel of wheat falls to the ground and dies, it remains only a single seed. But if it dies, it produces many seeds.

For a seed to grow it must be planted. A seed must die to release its potential. It stays a single seed, not bearing fruit, not bringing in another generation of seed. it will even die in time to it’s potential of bringing life. I remember my father found some old seed one year on a shelf and planted it, but it did not grow anything. You see it was dead and lost it’s time and moment of choosing to die and became worthless. Don’t stay on that pew too long people. Don’t miss your moment like Lot did.

Devo Seedtime and Harvest Part 2
Genesis 1:11-13 King James Version (KJV)
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.
12 And the earth brought forth grass, and herb yielding seed after his kind, and the tree yielding fruit, whose seed was in itself, after his kind: and God saw that it was good.
13 And the evening and the morning were the third day.
This was from the beginning of the earth. My daughter when she was young would ask me how could God have no beginning? She could not comprehend this concept. My reply was everything we know on earth has a beginning and an end, so we can’t truly grasp this concept. God is above our understanding. She would always reply yes but. Then I would have to tell her He is God and we accept it by faith. Oh people His ways are above our ways. Judges 13:18
He replied, “Why do you ask my name? It is beyond understanding.” His ways are not our ways. He must give us understanding. We must start with what we know. Nature. One of the first principles is kind produces after kind. An apple seed produces apples and an orange seed produces oranges. Seeds produces what their parents were. Why is that important? Who are you born off? What do you produce? Good fruit or bad. The potential is in the seed.

Devo Seed time and Harvest Part 1
Genesis 8:22 King James Version (KJV)
22 While the earth remaineth, seedtime and harvest, and cold and heat, and summer and winter, and day and night shall not cease.
First off if you think this series of teaching is about money you are mistaken. I can be applied to money but is far more deep and rich than that. I hope you will read and study this out until the end.
Sunday at church I had an epiphany moment. After service I asked the people if they had any questions about what I had taught. To my surprise the questions never seemed to end. There was one thing that stood out and it was that they said they have never heard anything like what I taught on, and yet it was a foundational principle of the Bible. I often find myself with so many things I feel I need to teach on and I become overwhelmed with which to choose for the blog, but what I am going to start teaching today is a must know to truly understand the Bible. Let’s get started.
Seed time and harvest will never cease as long as the earth remains. My friends without seedtime and harvest life would cease to exist. Now what we see in the physical we see in the spiritual. Jesus always used natural things to explain spiritual things. We must understand Seedtime and harvest to grow spiritually and live. Hosea says that My people perish for a lack of understanding. If you don’t understand and live these very basic principles you will die spiritually. Now I know that is a strong statement, but I stand by it. If you’re not growing you’re dying.
