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!

You Are Mary

The first Mary was not the only lady named MARY which was recorded in the Bible is found in the new testament. She was "a virgin", which means she wasn't the only one who was a virgin in her time, but she found favor with God and was chosen to bear the Holy seed of God. Mary, the highly favored, blessed among women and the Lord was with her. That was how she was seen by the Lord. Her assignment was to carry the seed of God, deliver a son, and He shall save His people, rule them and His kingdom is forever. Her question wasn't what's in it for me? It was HOW? What's the plan? The answer was the Holy Spirit will come upon you, the power of the Highest hover over you. Therefore, the child you bring to birth will be called Holy, Son of God. It's all planned by God, yours is to align. You are Mary, but whose seed are you carrying? Definitely not Christ Jesus. But what result will the seed you are carrying bring? Are you aligned to be chosen? Are you recept...

Wrap Ups

Endings are better than beginnings. Sticking to it is better than standing out ( Ecclesiastes 7:8; MSG). The end justifies the means and starting could be great, but there is nothing as fulfilling and satisfying as the wrapping up of a thing with strength and grace. It is better not to start anything at all than to give up halfway. If we must start a thing, then we must follow through to the end. It builds discipline, consistency, and focus. When a person sets out for a journey, the thing expected on the way can only be assumed but not accurate. Which makes the destination and finishing well a necessity for greatness and forging further. This year has been amazing and some many things were unexpected, but regardless of the emotions experienced, God is good! When we thought it was over and there was no way we will make it, He showed and made a way. The most important thing when we are wrapping up anything is Thanksgiving. It could have only been God. If only we c...

God's or Abraham's?

   The moment the word "children" appears, what comes to mind most the time is the result or outcome of a process. Especially when the psalmist was describing children in Psalms 127:3-5. My eyes were open to seeing results as children. Definitely, children have fathers. Let not go into defining children ( you can always read my post on CHILDREN), But my concern is that sometimes we (Christians) are referred to as Abraham's offspring and at the same time, we are called the children of God. How are we children of God and also Abraham's? It is possible that we are the offspring of both God and Abraham (His friend). We are considered as Abraham's offspring when we believe (Galatians 3:6-8), because the first to exercise Faith in God was Abraham and we are called his children because we are doing exactly what he did which was counted to him as righteousness(John 8:39) - FAITH . So we (believers) are the re-produced version(children) of the Father of Faith - Abraham...
