That One Seed Produces Peace

Daily Devotions:
by Christina Farris

Mark 4:26-29 KJV
26 And he said, So is the kingdom of God, as if a man should cast seed into the ground;
27 And should sleep, and rise night and day, and the seed should spring and grow up, he knoweth not how.
28 For the earth bringeth forth fruit of herself; first the blade, then the ear, after that the full corn in the ear.
29 But when the fruit is brought forth, immediately he putteth in the sickle, because the harvest is come.

If man should cast His seed then it time of harvest, or time of planting. We are called to sow the word of God, to spread it and hopefully some of it lands on good soil and produces. No minister, teacher, prophet, nor evangelist, worries about where the word of God goes, because in truth the word of God brings forth fruit all on its own. Yet man takes a sickle and harvest what he did not sow. Truth is the fruit we gather, may not be the fruit we planted. Nor the fruit we tended too. There are many ministers in the world and many people called to just spread the word. Yet the ones that spread also tend to the garden in Christian chariety/love. In time the seed produce fruit to be harvest and consumed, A plant that matures will produce and be fruitful, some more fruitful then others. Yet the seed must be tossed by someone, and someone must tenderly care for it. God in his wisdom gathers his children and places them in position of the building project, and each child has a place, and each child will bear fruit and each child will sow.

Even children on their death bed sow seeds of faith to their loved even with a death bed confression. Even children of God sows seeds of faith by simple testimony of faith. Children of God sows seed through their actions, through their deeds, and yet they do not know how these seeds will grow or if they will produce. Yet God knows the fruit of his children produce love, joy, peace, gentleness, longsuffering, hope, and kindness. These fruits are worthy to be picked in order to be sown into the fertile sole of faith that God will do his part of convicting the soul of the lost. We might only sow a seed that is planted within the heart of man that leads to conviction. Yet God must be the producer in the lives of each and every person.Fruit of love, of hope, of long suffering must have affect on those around us that are lost and hungry for the love of God, the hope of God and knowing the trial of long suffering of the saints, that help in the conviction.

Without the harvest there is fruit to be tasted, no fruit to be consumed. No fruit to endure through the long winter months. When the seed is buried from the fruit of the things stored, and planted once more. What happens is the seeds come from the fruit that is rippened to full age. The plant itself is not cut down until it is full age. Look at apple tree, it serves many years before being cut down, a nut tree serves the same way bearing much fruit and feeding many humans, animals, worms and bugs. Yet with out the sowing or dropping of the seed from the tree to the ground more will not be produced. The fruit is of the Holy Spirit, the seed is the word of faith, and the reaper or harvester is God, and he cuts nothing down that will continue to produce fruit for his kingdom.

In 1 Corinthians it talks about the builder and that no foundation can be laid but that which is laid in Christ Jesus. Will the fruit and plant can not grow by just any means. It must come from word and spirit of God. Must come from the sowing of the seed of faith and the fruit of the Spirit. Seed must produce in fertile soil of the heart of man, and it must be planted in the heart of man. When one receives Christ as Lord and Savior the foundation of Christ is laid to be built upon, to grow within the soul of man as Christ speaks to the heart and soul of man about faith, and about his love. Love is grown in the heart of all believers, hope is established there to, and the ability to endure or longsuffer must come from the strength of the root of faith in the heart. Gentleness, meekness, and kindness is only outward display of the seed planted in the heart of man. See the fruit is the Holy Spirit and it produce seed for the sower. If you think about a potatoe with many eyes come from it or a plant with spores, it must bear in order to recreate more potatoes. Only the original word is needed to produce life and no other word. Whether the potatoe is burried or dug up it still produces until eaten. it produce seed for growth in and out of season. That one seed produces peace.

Dear Heaveanly Father, remind us of our part in you kingdom to bear fruit to be consumed by others, needing the seed of faith planted in their life, and remind us that the harvest comes to produce substains for planting once again. In Jesus precious name, Amen.

Continual Scripture Study for Devotion:1 Corinthians 3:6-11 KJV
6 I have planted, Apollos watered; but God gave the increase.
7 So then neither is he that planteth any thing, neither he that watereth; but God that giveth the increase.
8 Now he that planteth and he that watereth are one: and every man shall receive his own reward according to his own labour.
9 For we are labourers together with God: ye are God's husbandry, ye are God's building.
10 According to the grace of God which is given unto me, as a wise masterbuilder, I have laid the foundation, and another buildeth thereon. But let every man take heed how he buildeth thereupon.
11 For other foundation can no man lay than that is laid, which is Jesus Christ.
