Seeds Must Be Broken!

Seeds Must Be Broken  

 

I assure you, most solemnly I tell you, Unless a grain of wheat falls into the earth and dies, it remains [just one grain; it never becomes more but lives] by itself alone. But if it dies, it produces many others and yields a rich harvest.”   John 12:24 AMP

 

Some seeds are made to be sown; while others are made to be planted.  Nevertheless, as we examine a seed, we will discover various facts which are natural in the physical realm as well as in the spiritual realm. Nevertheless, a seed is basically worthless until its outer shell has been broken.

 

First, let’s think about the future potential of the seed.   It has been determined that one seed in the physical realm contains within its self the potential to nourish an entire nation. The same can be applicable in the realm of the spirit.

 

Next, the seed is supplied with an outer covering that protects the imminent productivity of the internal core.  It is not until the protective shell is broken - forced open from within that the true plant can begin to originate.  We also have within us an internal core, a place from which productivity must stem.  However we must be broken from the inside and healed of our past (intimidation, fears, disappointments, rejections, etc.).  As we are broken under the power of the Holy Ghost AND the submission of our will; then and only then will the effectiveness of every  gifting and anointing - which is already residing and resonating within us, now be liberated….. and permitted to grow, mature and to manifest to its full potential and capacity.  However, we must remember that brokenness must occur first.

 

Seeds vary in their intent and composition. Some are made to be sown, some planted and still others discarded.  Any and every one can sow a seed – as well as receive a seed which has been sown.  We must always remain cognizant of the fact that not every seed that has been sown into our lives is required to “remain in our garden”.  We are all composed of different types of soil.  Therefore, the type of seeds which we are able to mature is dependent upon our own particularly composed blend of soil.  The composure of our soil will also determine which seeds will be received; as well as the implanting procedure (sown or planted).

 

Whether sown or planted; all seeds which are to remain will require the proper attention.  Nurturing is vital if they are to produce and yield a 100% return.  

 

Many have instructed very well in the area of sowing.  However it is equally important that awareness is taught on the processes required for the maintenance of seeds.   Just as seedlings are delicate in the physical realm and must be given the proper care – the same pertains to the realm of the Spirit.

 

How to “plant” should also be addressed. Planting requires the skill of one who is more knowledgeable.  While sowing is always highlighted, planting is just as relevant.

Yes, some seeds are to be sown, others planted, still others discarded.  We are all the carriers of seeds.  Symbolic of the natural garden; not all of our fruit will mature simultaneously.  However given the proper care, the seeds which have been designated by the Lord within us – to advance to the level of maturity – will endure. 

 

Seek the face of the Lord.  Weed out your spiritual garden.  Then be determined that you will permit your garden to produce the fruit that will remain.    Be prepared for the weeding process which will require a brokenness.  

 

Remember: We must receive a “brokenness” prior to our ability to release a fullness!  

 

“You fool, that which you sow is not made alive, except it die:” I Corinthians 15:36
