« Remember this saying, “A few seeds make a small harvest, but a lot of seeds make a big harvest »
12 Then Isaac sowed in that land, and reaped in the same year a hundredfold; and the Lord blessed him.
13 The man began to prosper, and continued prospering until he became very prosperous;
14 for he had possessions of flocks and possessions of herds and a great number of servants. So the Philistines envied him.
Seeds are a small part of the fruit produced by a plant from which new plants spring forth when planted.
The power inherent in a seed is the ability to reproduce.
Therefore, the more seeds one sow, the greater the harvest of seed one will obtain, which is why 2 Corinthians 9:6GNT says:
“Remember that the person who plants few seeds will have a small crop; the one who plants many seeds will have a large crop ”
Isaac’s experience in today’s Bible reading teaches us the reward of sowing seeds.
After the Lord commanded him not to go down to Egypt in search of “greener pasture”, he settled in Gerar in spite of the famine raging there and got to work sowing seeds.
Beloved, every work you do in line with God’s word will be blessed by Him. On the other hand if you do nothing, God will bless nothing! This is a steadfast divine principle.
Every time God performed miracles of multiplication in the Bible, there was always something for Him to bless (Matthew 14:14-21, Matthew 15:32-38, 1 Kings 17:9-15, 2 Kings 14:1-6, 2 Kings 4:42-44).
The good news is that everyone always has something at his or her disposal that can serve as a springboard into the realm of supernatural multiplication.
Before feeding the five thousand through the miracle of multiplication, our Lord Jesus Christ asked the disciples, “How many loaves do you have? Go and see.”
After verifying, they told him that they had five loaves and two fishes. One can imagine Jesus saying, “That’s more than enough!” He blessed the loaves and after more than five thousand people had eaten from them, they had twelve baskets of fragments as leftovers!
The seed in this miracle are the five loaves of bread and two fish.
Likewise, the widow of Zarephath had a seed of only a little flour and oil in a cruse, but when God blessed her seed, it became a bumper harvest of cakes for three and half years.
A similar thing happened to the widow of a man from the company of prophets. She ran to Elisha concerning the debt left behind by her husband. In response to her cry for help, Elisha said to her in 2 Kings 4:2a: “…What shall I do for you? Tell me, what do you have in the house? ”
The widow replied that she had nothing at all except a little oil. Little did she know that what she had was enough seed to get her out of poverty.
Beloved, find out what God has deposited in you as a seed that He can use to perform the miracle you need.
After you have discovered the seed, be ready to surrender it because there is power in that seed if only you can sow it (John 12:24).
Unless your seed leaves your hand, you cannot unleash its power to bless you.
So, release that seed today and you will witness its power in bringing blessings to your life.
Prayer point: Father, open my eyes to identify the seed You have deposited in me for my desired miracle of multiplication, and help me to sow and not eat it.
