GOD'S SEED OF LOVE
*** This is the Word ***
"Seeing Ye have purified your souls in obeying the truth through
the Spirit unto unfeigned love of the brethren, see that ye Love one
another with a pure Heart fervently;: Being born again, not of
corruptible seed, but incorruptible, by the Word of God, which liveth
and abideth forever. For all Flesh is as Grass, and the Glory of man
as the flower of Grass. The grass withereth, and the flower thereof
falleth away: But the Word of the Lord endureth forever. And this is
the word which by the Gospel is preached unto you." I Peter 1:22-25
We can present our Lord Jesus Christ with the greatest birthday
present there is - Newborn babes in Christ. There are so many more
believers now than ever before. We actually have the potential of
winning more people in one season than there used to be in the entire
body of Christ only a few years ago. Everyone of us must make a
Quality decision to do our part. Right now is the perfect time to
plant the seed of Gods love. The main purpose of a seed is to take
root and grow to maturity. Sometimes it may only be a chance to say a
kind word in the middle of rush hour. Other times, we will get the
opportunity to pray and minister to someone.
*** Decision and Preparation ***
THE KEY IS DECISION AND PREPARATION. The kind of decision that
will stand is what I call a quality decision - One that requires
determination and discipline in order to bring about the desired
result. Once you have made the decision and committed to it, the rest
is joy. Spend time meditating in the Word each Day. Allow the Holy
Spirit to Minister to you. Don't get so busy with other things that
you leave the Word out of your daily affairs. After the Spirit has
ministered to you, it is easy to minister to someone else. You will
be sensitive to the Holy Spirit and be able to hear His voice so you
will know what to say. Then keep a sharp eye out for even the
smallest chance to speak the word in Love or to assist someone. Boldly
give Jesus the Glory.
I have had some very outstanding experiences giving a few dollars
to someone in need. As they are taking the money, I tell them, "This
money is from the Lord Jesus Christ. I serve Him. He is the one who
instructed me to Help you."
*** Stay in Faith ***
Notice in the 23rd verse we read, "... the word of God, which
liveth and abideth for ever." Don't be moved by people who might be
indifferent. That word will remain alive forever if you stay in
Faith. As you plant the word seeds of God's love, expect the desired
results, just as a farmer expects apple trees from apple seeds.
Regardless of what they may do or say, you can walk away knowing you
have planted the seed of Love. IT WILL DO IT'S WORK. Remember,
planted seeds will produce fruit AFTER their own Kind. God's Word
(seed) will not return Void, it will accomplish and prosper in the
thing whereunto it is sent. (Is. 55:11)
*** Take the opportunity to Harvest ***
You will get the opportunity to harvest what someone else has
already planted. I was witnessing to a man on an airliner once, and
he made this statement to me: " You have stirred things in me that
haven't been stirred since I was a Kid in a Presbyterian Sunday
School." The majority of People are ready to hear what we have to say
IF, we say it in Love. This old world is Starved for REAL Love.
Plant the seed of that Love, God's word.
*** Prayer of the Sower ***
"Father, in the Name of Jesus, I commit myself to plant seeds of
love everywhere I go. I believe You have prepared the Hearts of men
to receive this Love. I ask you for the perfect opportunity to speak
your word. I thank you that Your Love has been shed abroad into my
Heart by the Holy Ghost that has been given unto me. I know and am
confident that He is in me now producing the fruit of Love. I am
assured that the seeds I plant will produce Your Love in the hearts of
all to whom it is given. Thank You, Father, that those seeds are
cultivated and watered to bring an abundant harvest. The results will
bring Glory and Honor to You, In Jesus Name! Amen."
