Mark 4:26-33 (KJV) “And he said, So is the kingdom of God, as if a man should cast seed into the ground; And should sleep, and rise night and day, and the seed should spring and grow up, he knoweth not how. For the earth bringeth forth fruit of herself; first the blade, then the ear, after that the full corn in the ear. But when the fruit is brought forth, immediately he putteth in the sickle because the harvest is come. And he said, Whereunto shall we liken the kingdom of God? or with what comparison shall we compare it? It is like a grain of mustard seed, which, when it is sown in the earth, is less than all the seeds that be in the earth: But when it is sown, it groweth up, and becometh greater than all herbs, and shooteth out great branches; so that the fowls of the air may lodge under the shadow of it. And with many such parables spake he the word unto them, as they were able to hear it.”
I read an article the other day about the kingdom of God and it got me thinking. What do I know about the Kingdom of God? This week will be looking at what the Bible tells us in comparison to the principle of the seed that Jesus spoke of in the word of God.
When the Holy Spirit releases the Word of God into our life, it’s like a seed planted in our hearts. Christ taught his disciples how the kingdom of God operated by explaining to them the unstoppable power of a planted seed. The Kingdom of God is unstoppable. Just like one seed can bring forth a harvest of many seeds one christian on fire for the things of God can cause a great forest fire. The death of one man (Jesus) is still birthing many son today...even you and I.
This is an amazing kingdom of God principle; the seed knows what to do. I don't know how I can take a dead seed and put it in the dark ground and without any works of my own watch the plant rise from the ground towards heaven. God put His word in my heart and it too was dark and without any works of my own, my life began to grow towards God and His purpose for my life. I started going towards the light. I wanted more of His word (like a plant needs the rain) and more of His sunshine (His love).
Now my life can be like that grain of mustard seed that grew up into a tree and now the fowls of the earth can lodge in. I can bring forth good things out of my life. I have created a little heaven on earth. Thy Kingdom come Thy will be done on earth as it is in Heaven. I am not my own. I have been bought with a price. It is no longer I that lives but Christ in me.
Farmers have no problem taking something that is dead and planting it in the ground then expecting it to grow. Somehow the farmer knows it will grow, and he doesn’t know how. The farmer doesn’t care how, he just expects it to do what dead seeds do after they are planted - grow. That’s what we call faith. After all, how can a dead seed grow? We knoweth not how.
This is an amazing kingdom of God principle; the seed knows what to do. Let the seed of God (the Word) grow in you and watch what God does with your life.
