Scripture: But Christ being come an high priest of good things to come by a greater and more perfect tabernacle, not made with hands, that is to say not of this building. (Heb 9:11)
Note: John 12:24, “Truly, truly, I say to you, unless a grain of wheat falls into the earth and dies, it remains alone; but if it dies, it bears much fruit.” It’s an incontrovertible truth based on the law of sowing and reaping, that a seed will necessarily have to die before it can multiply. Until a sown seed goes through a death process, it abides as just a single seed. However, when it successfully goes through this unavoidable process of death, only then can germination and multiplication begin.
The death process is the period when the seed is deemed to be undergoing through investment. It’s a painful period. Sometimes it may be an awfully slow process where it might seem like nothing may really happen after all. This waiting period is a test of character and endurance. The thoughts of what the seed could have been used to achieve if it hadn’t been sown may begin to rampage through your confused mind. You may begin to ask yourself questions in retrospect on the immediate benefit of the option of being better off if you had exercised the right to consume the seed without the decision to invest it.
The principle of seedtime and harvest is an age old principle which had been in practice before the advent of modern civilization. You can only reap what you sow. The buried seed may be the thoughts and ideas you entertain and ponder on in your mind. The thoughts and ideas develop into creative actions and habits which in turn grow into shaping people’s character and lifestyle, turning the few creative ones into people who define the destiny, lifestyle and direction of the masses.
The mind is the field on which the creative seeds of thoughts and ideas are planted and grown. You can sow just about anything in life. You can sow physically, financially, materially, emotionally, spiritually and many more. The principle applies to every facet of life. We are daily making important life decisions. Would you choose to have the mind of Christ, who is the epitome of Peace?
Food for thought: Jesus Christ is the only person who has truly, effectively and radically changed the lives of many people over many generations Godward. This is because He has the mind of God.
Declaration: Let this mind be in you which was also in Christ Jesus. Phi 2:5
