Title: Understanding the Seed
2 Corinthians 9:10-11
"And God, who supplies seed for the sower and bread to eat, will supply uou with all the sees you need and will make it grow and produce a rich harvest from generosity. He will always makes you rich enough to be generous at all times."
1. And God is the supplier of seed
• Kung si Lord ang nagsusupply, hindi ka mawawala. Siya ang source ng lahat.
• Kaya yung iba hindi nagbibigay kasi hindi nila alam kung sino ang nagsusupply ng binhing itinanim nila.
• Katulad nung time ni Abraham, si Isaac, bigay iyan ng Lord. Then hiningi din yun ng Lord, diba? Si Lord binigay na nga, hihingin pa. Pero inialay pa din si Isaac ni Abraham, because Lord just want to test Abraham. Pagdating sa seed ganun din tayo. Ang hirap gawin kasi nanghihinayang tayo, diba? But, its a matter of testing us, kung faithful ba tayo sa kanya.
• Tandaan mo, ang seed ay hindi atin. Ang seed ay galing sa Diyos.
• Ang Diyos ay nagbibigay ng binhing inihahasik.
• God gave us the seed to used and to invest.
• Ang Diyos ang nagbibigay ng binhing ihahasik at tinapay na makakain.
Genesis 1:29
"God also said, "Look, I have given you every seed bearing plant on the surface of the entire earth, and every tree whose fruit contains seed. This food will be for you."
2. The seed must be planted
• Bakit ang seed ay hindi mapatanim? Bukod sa ang binhi ay nakain na, kinain na sya ng worries.
• Ang seed kaya hindi naipapatanim, ibinabayad sa bill. Tapos dadaan pa si due date, ang rason kaya si seed nacocompromise.
• Worries is the number one eater of the seed.
• Unahan mo ng seed ang need. Wag mong uunahan ng need si seed.
• Worry may affect your health. Worry may reduce your ability to trust in God.
Matthew 6:26
"Look at the birds, they do not plant seeds, gather a harvest and put it in barns; yet your Father in heaven takes care of them! Aren't you worth much more than birds?"
3. The seed has a purpose
• The purpose of seed is to be planted and to give glory to God
• Hindi lang pala ang seed ang nagbebenefit sa soil, ang soil din. So, parehas silang nagbebenefit.
• Kung gusto mong lumago yang sa iyo, magtanim ka. You are part in the principle of seed sowing.
• Wag kang mainip, magbubunga din iyong tinanim mo.
• To whom that seed must be planted?
v11 "..Sa gayo'y dadami ang magpapasalamat sa Diyos.."
Luke 8:8
"And some seeds fell in the good soil; the plants grew and bore grain, one hundred grain each."
Conclusion
Genesis 26:12-13
"When Isaac planted his crops that year, he harvested a hundred times more grain than he planted for the Lord blessed him. He became a very rich man and his wealth continued to grow.."
