Served Fresh Daily ~ On Today’s Menu: First Fruit (of the SPIRIT) Now the parable is this: The seed is the word of God — Luke 8:11 KJVIn Thought Quotes for Today: The Seed & The Sower: First Fruit Served Fresh Daily The beauty of taking no thought for the morrow and for avoiding being taken back by the appearances and actions of things and even from some people of this world today is that GOD changes not, and neither does His law or charges. GOD’s WORD is complete, as both the sower and the selfsame seed of sanctification. “Now he that ministers seed to the sower both minister bread for your food, and multiply your seed sown, and increase the fruits of your righteousness;) Being enriched in every thing to all bountifulness, which causes through us thanksgiving to God. For the administration of this service not only supplies the want of the saints, but is abundant also by many thanksgivings unto God; Whiles by the experiment of this ministration they glorify God for your professed subjection unto the gospel of Christ, and for your liberal distribution unto them, and unto all men; And by their prayer for you, which long after you for the exceeding grace of God in you.Thanks be unto God for his unspeakable gift” 2 Corinthians 9:10-15″Sanctify them through thy truth: thy word is truth” John 17:17 His instruction (law) of reciprocity or what man likes to attest to as the law of attraction, is what is sown (i.e. planted seed), is soon harvested (reaped, plucked up or gathered together). Irrespective of the status of ripeness at harvest time there has been and always will be a separating (good from evil ~ corruptible from incorruptible). “Of his own will begat he us with the word of truth, that we should be a kind of first-fruits of his creatures” James 1:18 For if the first-fruit be holy, the lump is also holy: and if the root be holy, so are the branches. And if some of the branches be broken off, and thou, being a wild olive tree, were grafted in among them, and with them partakes of the root and fatness of the olive tree; Boast not against the branches. But if thou boast, thou bears not the root, but the root thee. Romans 11:16-18We were instructed not to forsake the parable of the fig tree (Luke 13:6-9). In other words… Don’t Be Fruitless or Barren at the Harvest It is the same with the baptism of the Holy Spirit. EXAMPLE:In agriculture or horticulture or botanically, we understand that there is a death, burial and resurrection which takes place called germination where the former seed’s oxygen is cut off when planted and with the application of watering and nurture, a new seed emerges [2 Corinthians 5:17–Old things becomes new & 1 Cor 15:36 –i.e. a thing cannot be reborn without having died, in this case dying to the flesh or self and taking on the Spirit].#IAMNRU #IT_IS_WHAT_IT_IS_WAS_and_WILL_Be In the Word StudyGenesis 1:11 |1 Corinthians 15:36-46 | Jeremiah 17:8 | Psalm 1:3 &126:5-6 | Matthew 13:1-23 |Galatians 3:29 & 6:7-9 | James 1:2-18 | Mark 4:15 | Acts 2:4 & 5:2 | 1 Peter 1:23-24 | Matthew 3:11;13:31-32 & 24:32-34 | Luke 8:11 & 13:6-9 | John 12:24 |Jeremiah 20:9|Proverbs 3:9| But this I say, He which sows sparingly shall reap also sparingly; and he which sows bountifully shall reap also bountifully. Every man according as he purposes in his heart, so let him give; not grudgingly, or of necessity: for God loves a cheerful giver. And God is able to make all grace abound toward you; that ye, always having all sufficiency in all things, may abound to every good work: As it is written, He hath dispersed abroad; he hath given to the poor: his righteousness remains forever. Now he that ministers seed to the sower both minister bread for your food, and multiply your seed sown, and increase the fruits of your righteousness; Being enriched in everything to all bountifulness, which causes through us thanksgiving to God –2 Corinthians 9:6-11 KJVAnother parable put he forth unto them, saying, The kingdom of heaven is like to a grain of mustard seed, which a man took, and sowed in his field:Which indeed is the least of all seeds: but when it is grown, it is the greatest among herbs, and becomes a tree, so that the birds of the air come and lodge in the branches thereof.Matthew 13:31
