PREFACE

As I have been studying the Word of God in my life I have been asking myself so many questions regarding Gods provision in our lives as people. I have heard so many people being excited about going to heaven and to inherit an eternal life, being satisfied with their poverty and their lack of progress in the things they do or suppose to do. In my life I have never ever been satisfied in living the life of poverty and being stuck in achieving what I have got to achieve in this world, Some say, There is nothing wrong about being poor we are going to be rich in heaven and some say, We need to prosper here on earth. And some associated poverty with the devil and prosperity with God, while some associated poverty with God and prosperity with the Devil, but when I read the Bible I found out that everything belongs to God hallelujah Amen!!! And I do not have to lack anything I need in life. God has given us the truth through His Word that everything has been given to us but we have missed a system of maintaining what He has given unto us. We have failed the process of circulation, the word circulation means; flow and movement meaning; once we missed this process, the fountain of blessings will stop to flow and there will be no progress and movement at all. God wants us to prosper in our lives, the word Prosper means; Flourish, thrive, do well, make money, show a profit, be in the black, get on, grow. The meaning of the word Prosper according to dictionary as I have written above means we must not stuck, be in stagnancies or stay in lack in all the areas of our lives. This means we must be successful in everything we do that God has given us to do. This book is also encouraging the use of the land by sowing a seed, which I think it is God’s will to do so.

I have written this book in order to encourage the body of Christ about the systematic giving in support of God's work. This kind of giving has been written in 1 Corinthians chapter 16 vs. 1-4 and in other numerous verses as you shall see. May God bless you as you read this book in Jesus name. At the end of this book I have written a poem which I dedicate to all the people who will buy and read this book; enjoy

it!!!

Chapter One

The importance of a seed

Genesis chapter 1 vs. 11-12 says:

11 Then God said, Let the earth sprout vegetation, plants yielding seed, and fruit trees bearing fruit after their kind, with seed in them, on the earth, and it was so.

12 And the earth brought forth vegetation, plants yielding seed after their kind, and trees bearing fruit, with seed in them, after their kind, and God saw that was good.

That means the land that is producing is pleasing to God, in such a way that he provided a seed for the continuity of the harvest produced on the ground not to stop. God saw the earth producing and He said it was good; meaning he was pleased. Truly speaking any nation that does not take care of the land by sowing a seed on the ground is living in a curse, and is an abomination before God that causes wretchedness. Even though here am going to speak more about sowing in the kingdom of God, in supporting the work of the kingdom of God, I would like to start from the basis of a seed based on natural perspective. The reason why I do that is because I believe what is natural is an example of what is spiritual. Our Lord Jesus Christ used to start His illustrations of revealing the spiritual mysteries in an instinctive form, in order for a man to clearly understand the matter being explained, concerning the issues of life. That means what is natural which is pleasing to God is what we must do, and what is spiritual being revealed to us is what we must do as well. Sowing a seed is both natural and spiritual and the principle works the same on both grounds, which means; the natural ground and spiritual ground. In order to live life in balance we need to understand sowing on both grounds; because to God sowing on both grounds is very, very important. The principle is the same and the results of applying it are the same, that is how important is a seed.

When we read the book of Genesis chapter 1 vs. 11-12 which I have quoted at the beginning of this chapter; we find these words which prove that the life of everything is preserved through a seed. God spoke His word of creation, that there had to be a vegetation and plants, yielding seed and fruit trees, bearing fruit after their kind, with seed in them on the earth. In verse 12 we see everything God spoke about in verse 11 manifested, meaning God provided fully. God did not only provide vegetation, fruit bearing trees and plants, but He also brought a seed in them after their kind. God’s responsibility was to give and provide Adam with a seed, Adam’s responsibility was to eat what was given and maintain it through sowing a seed. God did not create a man to be irresponsible, but He created man with responsibility, that responsibility was to keep the seed circulation in progress. Therefore that means; if you have stopped that process of seed circulation you will have nothing in your life, you will cry and God will say to you, I have given you the seed, where is the seed and the harvest? Adam was left in the Garden of Eden with huge responsibility of keeping this process to go on here on earth, in order for him to live life in abundance, as seed was provided. The Bible says, each tree, plant, and vegetation was bearing according to their kind having a seed in them. Even the animals were created to continue with God’s process of creation, He created male and female animals. In the book of Genesis we see an importance of a seed, whether referred to man, vegetation, insects, plants, trees, birds, wild and home animals etc. The life of all these things including man is preserved through a seed; do you see how important a seed is? Without a seed there is no prolongation of life, and without a seed there is no development in all the things that God has created. We as people need to just ponder about how important a seed is, and not only pondering, but we need to embrace the value of a seed. The generation of today does not know the value of a seed, for they all yearn for harvest, they do not care how the harvest comes. We are living in the days of fast and instant foods and fast cars and everybody seems to be too busy. No body cares about how precious a seed is, but the tragedy is that once there is a shortage of sowing a seed an economy gets affected. Recently I have heard on the news that here in South Africa there is a shortage of food, you see in this country the reason why there is food shortage is because there are few farming people. Just imagine how the world would be like if most of the people were giving value to a seed? You know most people in most countries they depend on grants; child grant, disability grant and old age grant. When you look at the homes of most of these people they have big gardens, big fields and they do not sow, because they do not understand the value of sowing and reaping. After my parents died I went to my grandmother in law and I stayed with my uncle, my uncle valued the land and he was the sowing man. He also had some chickens, sheep, goats and oxen. What I noticed is that my uncle did not buy everything from the shop, he was always having sufficiency. The reason why he was always being sufficient he valued a seed, a seed of an animal, pumpkin, beans, grain and vegetation etc. Today we are speaking about hunger and shortage of food, and people are becoming more dependable to their governments. But God is waiting for us to sow a seed, we must know the covenant made with Adam and Noah of working the land, is not ceased yet. That covenant is for all of us, because God said to Noah in Genesis 9 vs. 1-3: 1 AND God blessed Noah and his sons and said to them, Be fruitful and multiply, and fill the earth. 2 And the fear of you and the terror of you shall be on every beast of the earth and on every bird of the sky; with everything that creeps and all the fish of the sea into your hand they are given. 3 Every moving thing that is alive shall be food for you; I give all to you, as I gave the green plant. You see in these three verses we have been blessed and given animals, green plants for food, but instead of keeping the seed of what we have been given and sow we chase after money. The more we chase after money the more money runs away from us, because we don’t know the principle of keeping the money. God wanted the process not to discontinue thus He created a seed in order to maintain the process of His creation. That means what has been created will not be created again, but it will be maintained through a seed, whatever it is. Once you have eaten a seed you have nothing left on your side, you will only beg and cry and starve to death. As a child of God you do not need to beg and cry but you need to carry on planting the seed, in order to continue the process. God further explained to Noah His decrees concerning the importance of a seed in the book of Genesis chapter 8 vs. 22 saying "While the earth remains, Seed time and harvest, And cold and heat, And summer and winter, And day and night Shall not cease. God in this Scripture is boldly emphasizing the importance of a seed; this means sowing a seed is a divine decreed and ordained irreversible principle, which means; if it can be ignored can cause a disaster to humanity at large. Many people today are praying to get miracles but miracles are wrapped in a seed, that is the importance of a seed, it contains God’s divine treasures for human provision.

God’s progression depends on a seed

After Adam and Eve sinned God sent them to the field, let us know this, Cain and Abel were immediately sent to the field; their pleasing and displeasing actions were proved in the field. Abel passed the test and Cain failed the test, how many people who are failing today in the field of God’s kingdom? There are vitally important principles to be followed in the field, and different kinds of levels to be known about sowing and reaping.

In the book of Genesis chapter 6, God showed that He was sick and tired of the people’s sin, for they were living in the flesh being corrupt and lived the life of violence. In verse 18-22 of chapter 6 we see God commanding Noah to enter the Ark, with different kinds of animals and foods. Here we see that God has all kinds of seeds starting from man, animal, birds, insects and foods etc.

God continued with man even after man sinned on the Garden of Eden against Him, but He challenged the man to live a life of righteousness through Noah. They refused to repent and they were destroyed by the flood, Noah and his family was spared. We must notice something here God instructed Noah to get all kinds of seeds; a seed from man, birds, insects and foods. What was God really expected here or interested in? God was expecting to get a seed in order to carry on with His creation. Let's say one of the kinds of the living creatures was not included; God’s creation would be lacking and be affected negatively. But God knows all things and understands how His process works, He never made a mistake of leaving any kind of a seed behind. This is what we need to do as God’s children following our Father’s pattern of regarding a seed as of substance. You can see this all over the world if there is no one to fabricate a seed in the family, that family will reach an end, no legacy will be left behind. If there is no one in the family who has got the seed to plant, that family shall not have harvest, they will end up being slaves and beggars. Most people are begging and living in slavery today, because they are lazy to plant a seed, may God help us to plant a seed and be free from slavery of Satan, man and the world system Amen. If you do not regard a seed as precious as God regards it, life will never be precious to you at all. That means if you need a precious life full of miracles and wonders you must sow your precious seed unto God’s Kingdom.

The nature of a seed

The nature of a seed always seems ordinary, small and inadequate, but what is amazing is that, a seed contains an extra-ordinary power. You will never experience that power or see it, until you release a seed and bury it under a well prepared ground, in order to die. In the book of Mark chapter 4 vs. 26-29 Jesus speaks of a planted seed comparing it with the kingdom of God, He speaks of the stages in which it grows. In verse 28 He speaks of three stages before the harvest which is; first the blade, second the head and third the mature grain in the head. This means that a seed is not instant; it grows according to stages, this is how God works or ordained things to be from the beginning. That means we must follow the pattern of God in our lives which is sowing a seed. Once a seed is under the ground it embraces its extra-ordinary power or nature, for example when you plant it you open the ground for it; but when it grows it opens the ground by itself without your intervention. Jesus says in the book of Mark chapter 4 vs. 27 After planted the seed the man goes to bed at night and the seed sprouts up and grows-how, he himself does not know. This means that the only time God allows us to sleep and receive is when we have sowed a seed. When you sleep without having sowed a seed you are regarded as a lazy person, as we have been warned in the book of Proverbs chapter 6 vs. 6-11, that sleeping is dangerous and destructive. A man is only permitted to sleep when he has worked and sowed a seed in his life, such a sleep is a blessed sleep. Growing up in the village I used to plant a seed in the field and in the garden; I used to marvel at how the seed used to grow when planted under the ground. We used to plant grains of mealies, vegetable, beans, pumpkins and potatoes etc. The miracles I used to witness in their expansion, growing bigger, higher and their multiplication, through the process of germinating were so astounding. Seeing those planted seeds coming out from the ground in a glorious way was so amazing. That caused us to be full of hope and pride, because of the work we have done and the harvest that was coming. We used to plant in the morning and in evening, working tirelessly, knowing surely that the day of the harvest was on the way. Seeing those green plants really brought us hope and our minds were renewed; by being able to see such miracles in the seeds. Those growing plants were so beautiful, blossoming in a glorious way. After seeing those seeds coming up miraculously we knew we had to protect them from the animals and some insects, which means the eating moth. This is how amazing is a seed when growing from the ground. Its growth does manifest in a divine way which makes you as the sower watch with great amazement, being marvelled and captivated by the divine scenes of extra-ordinary occurrences. Such divine actions take place to a seed which
