DEEDS are SEEDS

Deeds can be defined as an already made action. When something happens and someone feels like starting from the beginning to correct the mistake that happened along the line and it's uncorrectable, people often say "life goes on, the deed is done".
   Before we go a little further we should understand the word seed too. In agriculture, it can be defined as an object that has the ability to reproduce or grow and multiply. I would like to define it as a finished work wrapped in a package (Genesis 1:29)
   A seed can grow because it is the ability to. There are a lot of things that have been likened to a seed, but the most palpable similitude is MAN. Our actions are seeds that give results.
    When a seed is planted, it takes time, undergoes processes, and resources for its accomplishment (Genesis 8:22). Come to think of it, what will happen if all seeds dropped on the ground (anywhere) became trees? It isn't all about what to plant, but where, when, and how are involved too.   
       Whatever a man sows, so shall he reap. It's a definite statement, nothing can change it. The aspect of a man been the seed happens in the process of reproduction(Genesis 9:9) (given birth to the next generation), but before a man(personally) grows to the fulfillment of destiny or purpose, there are things he must go through.
    Situations and circumstances around the seed matters a lot to how it grows and for how long. Those things make up experiences, but the response given to each gives the answer of time and WHO we rely on helps in the growth.
   We can't actually do it by ourselves (John 15:5). We need to know where our help(support, encouragement, hope, Faith, strength) comes from( Psalms 121:1-2). It always falls back to the God Almighty, Lord Jesus Christ, and Holy Spirit the comforter.
   When we believe in His son's birth, death, and resurrection, we have access to do greater works through the Holy Spirit. Our deeds increase its capacities and the harvest from the seed planted will in multiple folds from the God of harvest who created two humans and will harvest multitude because He gave His Son as a seed to become our bread of life when we believe Him(Isaiah 55:10).
    We must also let the Lord guide our decision making, if not the consequences of bad actions are also in multiple folds. Every action must have a good source for a good result and vice versa. Don't think for a second that you can run from the principle of sowing and reaping(Galatians 6:7). Deeds are seed means an act done for a greater result.
    If nothing is done(sow or planted), it's like multiplying zero with millions, the product is zilch! Do good (the right things), when you've got the chance and you will reap in due season(Galatians 6:9). 

SHALOM!

Lesson In All Things

Learning isn't limited to a gathering of people with a tutor, but an experience that leaves a mark of influence. To learn means to gain knowledge or skill by studying, practicing, being taught or experiencing something. A lesson is a section where something is being taught and learned. It, therefore, means that there must be a teacher and a student. Life is a teacher. It teaches anyone who cares to listen and have wisdom. We are in the habit of running each day the same way and the days turn to weeks, weeks to months and later to years. We forget to pause, pay attention to life and absorb wisdom to live. Some of us have experienced but haven't gotten the lessons out of some. Wisdom is not measured by age or level of exposure or experience, but lessons got from our encounter with life. What did you learn as a child, teenager, adult, parent, businessperson, lawyer, pastor, teacher, etc? Whatever you do isn't as important as what are you learning? What will you pa...

The King Comes

Who is coming? Why is He coming? What is He coming to do? The major reason anyone would stand for anything is because they don't just know, but understand the purpose and mission of that thing.  Sometimes, I find out that I am carried away by activities that don't really matter to the reason why I joined a group or something in the first place. So, what I do to get myself back on track is that: I slow down and ask myself how I got where I am and why I started or made the decision in the first place. And by the grace of God through the help of the Holy Spirit, It works - I find my way back. As Christians, we have been taught so many things and have been involved in so many things(which are very good) that we sometimes lose track of why we are believers in the first place. It is good to serve God and to love others as ourselves, but we must also remember to go back to the cross. Not just to receive grace and strength to do His work, but to also serve as a reminder of t...

SAME GOD

   A song in Yoruba (Nigeria) says " the Lord is, as the time of old, but we don't worship God like old times " . This is very true. I always wonder why there was power in the early churches, but now, we hardly see the manifestations like the ones we read about the book of Acts of the Apostles?!    Some times ago I thought that Christianity was a joke passed down to generations. We have little people in the church performing miracles, what are the other members of the church doing? Are we just smiling at situations and circumstances and say God is in control when God has bestowed power to do on us and has made us gods (psalms 82)?    We are supposed to be armies pulling down strongholds (2 Corinthians 10:4) of the devil instead the church is held in captivity of the strong. The Great and Mighty God is always present but we don't seek Him for help. Where is the power of the church?! Haven't we lost it?    The fathers of old, the prophets, and t...
