This also implies that anyone could
be a seed sower if they put their minds to it because the truth is that God
created everyone with seeds so that the seed should always be planted to
produce a harvest of bread and more seeds for planting. But unfortunately,
there are people like the wicked lazy servant and the prodigal son; that is
when he had not repented who have no intention of planting seeds at all. It is
too much trouble for them. They would rather have bread all day; even if it is
at the expense and inconvenience of other people. They do not bother about
applying themselves in any endeavor. They feel that family members, Church
members, neighbors, their communities, their religious organizations, the
government, God, everyone, even animals and natural elements of creation owe
them an obligation to put bread on their table at all times. That explains why
they get angry; are resentful when family members, the Church and people they
always expect to put bread on their table refuse to do so because they have
asked for bread too often so that making that provision always has become
burdensome to family members.
Beloved, watch your life. God did
not create you to be a burden to members of your family, Church, community,
nation, etc. God created you to be a blessing to your family, Church,
community, nation, organization. Therefore, your contribution to the growth of
your family, your Church, community and nation should constitute what you
always plan to do. Your mental processes should always be filled with how you
can become a blessing and not how you can and should siphon blessings from
other people. God did not create you to be a leech, preying on other people.
Therefore, grow up and stop being a leech, a gold digger and a fortune hunter.
Surprisingly, you have all it takes
to be a lender to the nations. That is why He created you with great seeds with
which you can always generate rich harvests of both bread and seeds to bless
humanity with. The challenge you probably have is that you do not know the
difference between bread and seeds so you always consume seeds alongside bread.
Once you are able to differentiate seeds from bread and treat seeds as they
should be treated, you are then on your way to being the lender to the nations
that you were created to be.
My prayer is that God will grant
you extravagant grace to plant the seeds He graciously blessed you with so that
you will always have a rich harvest of bread and seeds. Shalom.
