What Is Driving Your Pursuit In Life: Determination To Be A Viable Seed III
Matthew 13:23 NKJV
But he who received seed on the good ground is he who hears the word and understands it, who indeed bears fruit and produces: some a hundredfold, some sixty, some thirty.”
Beloved,
Last time we established that, for the sake of your children, you must raise yourself as someone they can depend on in days to come. You can only give what you have. You can’t impart strength if you are a weak person. You can’t impart wisdom if you lack it. You can’t help if you are helpless yourself. This is why becoming and remaining a viable seed must be a motivation and priority in the life of every believer. Let’s look at more traits of a person who is a viable seed.
• He is a man that is brave and courageous:
Judges 6:12 NKJV
And the Angel of the Lord appeared to him, and said to him, “The Lord is with you, you mighty man of valor!”
• He is a man of discipline:
Lamentations 3:27 AMP
It is good for a man that he should bear The yoke [of godly discipline] in his youth.
• He is a blessed man:
Psalms 84:5 NKJV
Blessed is the man whose strength is in You, Whose heart is set on pilgrimage.
Being rich is not the same as being blessed. A rich man is define by his possessions alone, but a blessed man always has what it takes to produce what a rich man has. In Genesis 48 Jacob was a blessed man who had the grace upon him to impart blessings on others. Seek to become this type of person, such that anyone you come across leaves your presence blessed.
• He is a man of the Spirit:
Malachi 2:15 NKJV
But did He not make them one, Having a remnant of the Spirit? And why one? He seeks godly offspring. Therefore take heed to your spirit, And let none deal treacherously with the wife of his youth.
Beloved, whatever you are pursuing in life, is it worth it? Become what gives your children or the next generation an advantage- that will breed lasting results. When your children come to you for guidance and direction, may you be well equipped to give to them the help that they seek from you time and time again.
I commend you to God and to the word of His grace.
I call you blessed. I call you NATIONS.
