SEEDTIME AND HARVEST !

SEEDTIME AND HARVEST ! The first chapter of Genesis contains what I called the law of Genesis. If you get a good understanding of this, it will help you understand God's ways and God's methods. The law of seedtime and harvest is God's method. "And God Said, Let the earth bring forth grass, the herb yielding seed, and the fruit tree yielding fruit after his kind, whose seed is in itself, upon the earth: and it was so. And the earth brought forth grass, and herb yielding seed after his kind, and the tree yielding fruit, whose seed was in itself, after his kind: and God saw that it was good." (Genesis 1:11-12). Now let's look at what God said to Noah after the flood. God made a promise regarding this earth. "And Noah. . . Offered burnt offerings on the altar. And the Lord smelled a sweet Savour; and the Lord said in his heart, I will not again curse the ground anymore for man's sake. . . While the earth remaineth, seedtime and harvest, and cold and heat, and summer and winter, and day and night shall not cease." (Genesis 8:20-22). This is the method that God has chosen for this planet, and for the people of this planet, and it will be that way as long as this planet is in existence. Seedtime and harvest is God's method. The law Genesis is one of God's fixed laws. Everything produces after its kind and the seed is in itself. It works that way in everything. The seed of strife is in strife itself. If you get into strife with someone, it will create more strife. If you give love, that is through words and deeds you can reap love. The seed is in itself. This is God's method of seedtime and harvest. But sometimes people say, "I know why you're speaking God's promises. You're just trying to use God's Word to bring a manifestation." Yes ! You are absolutely right, that's the way it works ! That's is one of the reasons He sent His Word. The kingdom of God works that way. It's as if a man should cast seed into the ground. Look at what Jesus had to say about the kingdom. . . . "So is the kingdom of God, as if a man should cast seed into the ground; and should sleep, and rise night and day, and the seed should spring and grow up, he knoweth not how. For the earth bringeth forth fruit of herself: first the blade, then the ear, after the that the full corn in the ear. But when the fruit is brought forth, immediately he putteth in the sickle, because the harvest is come." (Mark 4:26-29). This is something you can do. Jesus said that you are the one planting the seed. You speak it out of your mouth. When you speak either Death Or Life it is as a seed, it goes into the heart --- the human spirit --- and there it begins to grow and produce. The kingdom of God is as if a man should cast seed into the ground .(Mark 4:15 through 20) shows that the heart of man is the soil, or ground. Notice Jesus said, For the earth (the heart of man) bringeth forth fruit of herself; first the blade, then the ear, after that the full corn in the ear (Mark 4:28). Sometimes people give up before the harvest. You may have done that. You gave up doing the growth process. In (Mark 11:23), Jesus tells us the principle of the law of faith. "Whosoever shall say, shall believe, shall not doubt in his heart, but shall believe what he says will come to pass, shall have whatsoever he says." (Paraphrased). That is the God kind of faith. That is the way it works !
