Recognizing the Seed of Abundance

In our previous articles we emphasized that all life begins from the seed. That seeds are weapons of greatness and Gods faithfulness has ensured we all have seeds.

Most of us however don’t recognize seeds or have limited seeds to just money. Money is a seed but other seeds produce money. Seeds are of various types, everyone sows seeds and your seed is given freely to you as a gift from God. Now your dream, vision, purpose, and future are tied to the planting of one seed. So let us explore different kind of seeds that have produced a harvest of the future many desired.

1. The seed of kindness. : Gen 18: 1-15

Each time I read the above passage, my spirit is deeply moved. Please read it right now. Have the following background about Abraham.

• He was a very rich man
• He had over 318 trained men in his house
• He had the capacity to chase 4 kings
• He was childless

• He was almost a 100yrs old

Bible records that one evening he saw 3 strangers (v2)

He ran to meet them- he recognized the opportunity to show kindness. He understood the seed of kindness and recognized those men as good soil to sow his seed.

Now what manner of kindness did Abraham display?

*He ran to meet them,

*He bowed with his face touching the ground,

*He called them sirs,

*He ordered for the best of everything and to crown it up

*He served them HIMSELF.

Abraham just had to be blessed. In return for this act of kindness and generosity to strangers and fellow men Abraham received the miracle of 99years. He was blessed with a son. His seed of kindness gave him the harvest of a son.  In showing kindness to people we might entertain strangers unawares.

Friends, show some kindness. Show plenty of kindness. Every child, man and women you meet is good soil to sow the seed of kindness given to you freely by God. Be kind to everyone you meet. That means compassionate and tender hearted. Listen to “ordinary” men like Joseph; interpret their dreams for them…tomorrow they will recommend you before the king. Be kind to a king’s son like David and tomorrow he will tell you when to leave the country. Do something undeserved for someone today. The more of yourself you give to people the more of people and God you receive. You are on your own is not the code of great people. Get interested in people…mourn with those that mourn and rejoice with those that rejoice. Do somethingpersonally for someone.
