Most people don’t understand the power of the seed/soil relationship. When you have a seed, that seed holds the DNA of what wants to emerge in your life. We hear people say, “Sow a seed for your house. Or sow a seed for your healing.” So when you give a seed like an offering or an investment, you are actually activating awareness of your inner DNA that want to emerge to release a home or healing in your life. The seed is not your money. The seed is you. So when you give that seed or offering or investment what you are doing is activating the DNA for the thing you desired to see created and manifested in you.
When that seed is planted in the soil, if the soil is appropriate, the soil will activate the emergence of the seed. Then the soil will begin to manufacture nutrients that are unique for the development of the harvest that lives inside that seed. What happens next doesn’t take place in your money; it takes place inside of you. You are the seed. The seed trains the soil and the soil activates the seed.
For example, say you want to see your life expand in the area of real estate. Then you plant a seed into someone who has already conquered that area. You invest money into a class; you give to a ministry that helps people buy their first house, etc. As your seed hits the ground it allows the individual who is coaching you to develop resources and nutritional benefits to help you grow in that area. Furthermore, you have to do the necessary work of attending to that seed.
But that’s not all, most people don’t invest their seed in a single area long enough for what they want to emerge to develop. Their seed doesn’t have time to develop the symbiotic relationship with the soil until it manifest. They have 90 day seed and want 7 year results. You can have a tomato in 90 days, but if you want apples, it takes 7 years.
They hop from one ministry to the next, thinking if I give seed here, this will manifest. If I give seed over there, that will manifest. if I give seed over there something else will manifest. In reality what they are doing is delaying their harvests. Why? All seed requires nurturing. You have to attend to the seed you plant. That means you need to focus on developing the insight you gain from that ministry long enough for it to take root and manifest in you. So every time you leave and take your seed to different soil, that new soil has to develop the nutrients to help you grow all over again. Most ministries are not going to invest time into people who are not willing to stick around for long. So you waste your money and you go uncultivated.
The soil must engage with you. You are the seed. You activate development. You grow. You increase knowledge so that you can increase in any area. That takes time. As you engage with the soil or connect with the ministry and implement the teaching, you get the nutrients you need to grow in your desired area.
A seed has a timeline. There is a gestation period for every crop. Most people sow seeds for short-lived crops. In other words if you want tomatoes, it takes about eight weeks for a tomato plant to grow from seed to plant and about 12 weeks to produce a harvest. At the end of that season you have to start all over again.
I have learned to identify places to sow my seed for years; I don’t want just tomatoes. I want to sow like I’m expecting a fig tree. It takes about seven years for a fig tree to grow from seeds into a tree that bears fruit. But once the tree matures, it will produce figs for the rest of my life and if nurtured properly, for generations after me. I love partnering with Ministries long-term. When I say long-term I’m thinking 10 years or longer. Why so long, because that’s the length of time it takes to grow a tree in the natural. I f you find good soil, freshly cleared, with good fertilizer, you can grow a fig tree farm.
So if you want to increase in an area, identify soil that has the potential to nurture your seed. What does that look like in the natural? It means to connect with a ministry, organization, or individual that you can support for an extended period of time. That could be years. As you do, the seed of your relationship will help you cultivate a foundation for life; it will produce results that impact generations to come.
I have learned the power of my seed, and I am training people inside the Chayil Circle to understand the power of their seed. Your seed must have a relationship with the soil it is sown into. The DNA from the seed trains the soil to produce what it needs to grow. And the soil activates the seed to produce at its highest potential. The seed trains the soil. The soil activates the seed.
A few thoughts on the seed…
Everything is a seed. Words are seeds.
Sow into ministries you partner with today the way you want ministries who partner with you tomorrow to sow into you.
If you are not willing to sow, ask yourself how long you could eat at a restaurant where no one paid for the food.
