Planted Not Eaten
Isaiah 30:23 “And he will give rain for the seed with which you sow the ground, and bread, the produce of the ground, which will be rich and plenteous. In that day your livestock will graze in large pastures” (ESV, emphasis added).
The first law of planting is Everything Starts As a Seed. The second law of planting is A Seed Has No Power Until It Is Planted. Read the rest of this entry
Seed To Plant
2 Corinthians 9:10 “And [God] Who provides seed for the sower and bread for eating will also provide and multiply your [resources for] sowing and increase the fruits of your righteousness [which manifests itself in active goodness, kindness, and charity].” (AMPC)

Act-I-On!
John 12:24 “Let me make this clear: A single grain of wheat will never be more than a single grain of wheat unless it drops into the ground and dies. Because then it sprouts and produces a great harvest of wheat—all because one grain died.” (TPT)

Seed Power
John 12:24 “I assure you, most solemnly I tell you, Unless a grain of wheat falls into the earth and dies, it remains [just one grain; it never becomes more but lives] by itself alone. But if it dies, it produces many others and yields a rich harvest.” (AMPC)

What Kind?
Genesis 1:11 “Then God said, “Let the land sprout with vegetation—every sort of seed-bearing plant, and trees that grow seed-bearing fruit. These seeds will then produce the kinds of plants and trees from which they came.” And that is what happened.” (emphasis added).

Seed Time
Mark 4:26-29 “God’s kingdom is like seed thrown on a field by a man who then goes to bed and forgets about it. The seed sprouts and grows—he has no idea how it happens. The earth does it all without his help… When the grain is fully formed, he reaps—harvest time!” (MSG).
Mark 4:26-29 “The kingdom of God is like this: Someone plants some seed in the ground. Then, during both the day and night, whether that person is awake or asleep, the seed is growing silently.
It Is Time!
Mark 4:11 “And He said to them, To you has been entrusted the mystery of the kingdom of God [that is, the secret counsels of God which are hidden from the ungodly]; but for those outside [of our circle] everything becomes a parable” (AMPC).
