One of the secrets of abundance is to always plant seeds. This
is because planted seeds are the seeds which multiply and compound to
abundance. Please read John Chapter 12 verse 24, Luke Chapter 6 verse 38,
Malachi Chapter 3 verses 6 to 12 and Genesis Chapter 8 verse 22.
That is why every wise farmer keeps the best of seeds for
planting so that progressively, s/he experiences bountiful harvests, increase
and abundance. The patriarch Isaac is a classic example. He planted seed in Gerar
at a time of drought because God instructed him to do so. The result was
progressive bountiful harvests which made him about the riches person in Gerar.
Please read Genesis Chapter 26 for details.
One of the ways to always plan for abundance is to always
plant seeds, quality seeds (Jeremiah Chapter 2 verse 21) so that the seeds
would grow, multiply and compound to abundant harvests. Please read Zechariah
Chapter 8 verses 9 to 13, Psalm 126 verses 5 to 6. Significantly, seed time is
the season for planting seeds while harvest time is the season for reaping the
abundant fruits from the planted harvest. It then implies that the farmer who
plants at planting season is the one who will have abundant fruits to reap at
harvest time. Beloved, the farmer who plants at planting time is a wise farmer
because he will reap bountiful harvests. But the farmer who does not plant at
planting time will have no harvest; that is zero seed on the ground and zero
harvest. That explains why the Bible talks about seeds fruiting and multiplying
only when they are planted.
Sometimes, it is not convenient, pleasant to plant as the ground
may be hard and dry (probably because of drought as in Genesis Chapter 26); it
may be in contention; the circumstances may just not be right as in Haggai
Chapters 1 and 2; the opposition may be stiff as experienced by the Apostle
Paul in 1st Corinthians Chapter 16 verse 9 and Acts Chapter 19: yet
God’s will clearly spells PLANT. Also, resources might be insufficient yet God
says to plant. What to do is plan God’s abundance because it will always come
regardless of the situation, circumstances or availability of resources.
