SEED THAT LIFE NOW! - Gone To Prepare A Place Series 004
John 14:1-3, KJV
"1 Let not your heart be troubled: ye believe in God, believe also in me. 2 In my Father's house are many mansions: if it were not so, I would have told you. I go to prepare a place for you. 3 And if I go and prepare a place for you, I will come again, and receive you unto myself; that where I am, there ye may be also."
God is saying, "seed that life now!" Release it now. Let it go now. Let it heed the purpose for which it is raised and spared now. It is now and not any other time. Let it go on the path ordained for it. Thank God Moses' mother seeded and released him to the waters. There, she saw the glory of God when she least expected for God sent a rescuer and an adopter.
The human life is the greatest thing on earth that could be seeded. You can seed the human life. You can give it away. You can count it not precious to you but rather sow it like a seed of corn that's fallen to the ground. You can count your life nothing, of no good, worth and consequence to heed purpose and the call of destiny. It means not being too overprotective of one's life as to release it. When you despise the shame and endure the cross before you in fulfilling your mandate, you'll be seeding or sowing your life. You'll be giving yourself away.
What God is communicating is this. Never hinder anyone you have oversight over or that you can influence not to seed or sow their lives to purpose and calling on earth. Rather, loose them and let them run on that course and go on that journey.
Parents, seed your children. Children, seed yourselves and you shall find and receive yourself back in days to come. The appealing scripture coming to me is this.
Ecclesiastes 11:1, KJV
"Cast thy bread upon the waters: for thou shalt find it after many days."
Human being is the greatest 'bread, treasure, asset' that can be casted upon the waters or given away to a cause. I tell you, the reward of that giving away and concentration on what your hand has found to do will be seen and obvious to all to see in days to come. A place speaks like this, "...give thyself wholly to them; that thy profiting may appear to all" (I Timothy 4:15, KJV). You don't give diligence where you've not been seeded or sown. It's the field or cause of life you've found that you can exercise yourself for and give your all to. It's however in such and in that process of constant giving away after the first giving away (of going to operate that calling) that you'll begin to see the profit of that giving away. It'll be so obvious that people will say, "see him, now he profits from that thing." However, you have to continue in it and do it to a particular height. As you give diligence like Elisha who keeps following Elijah, sooner or later, some people will see afar off and speak of your profiting saying, "Elijah's spirit now rests upon Elisha" (II Kings 2:15).
But first of all, you have to seed your own life away. No one can mandatorily decide your success for you except yourself. Once you're ready to seed your life away and fall down like a piece of grain, you'll see that you'll eventually bring forth plenty and benefit not only yourself but many that must come to the rising of your light (discovery of purpose and fulfilling of same).
Jesus told His disciples to let Him go. He admonished them to believe in God and in Him as well. He told them He's going for their (our) sakes - to prepare a place for them. It means if places will ever be prepared for anyone; if any benefit or profit will ever be reaped from Jesus' seeding of Himself to go, then He must be released to go. He must be given away first of all. This same happened when He died for all. He gave Himself to gain many. He must be seeded and sown. It'll pain the disciples that He's separating from them but they must release Him sacrificially. It's at day's end the very reason for agreeing to His release would be seen. A seeded life is such that can bring forth abundantly. Others will be alone - not affecting or influencing any.
PRAYER: Lord, my life is a seed. It's not too precious to me. I offer it to my calling and it brings forth abundantly.
