You are of God, little children, and have overcome them, because He who is in you is greater than he who is in the world. 1John 4:4
God is the source of greatness and He has implanted the seed of greatness in our hearts! Something is yearning for greatness, craving to bust forth from our hearts... Our lives want to give a meaning that is more than just a few sentences on the lips of people.
God's intention for your life is for the seed of greatness in you to flourish and produce abundant life of joy, health and wealth in Christ Jesus. From the time God created man, it was God’s agenda for you to enjoy life. He made man in His image, likeness and as the highest pinnacle of creation.
God's agenda for man was not to be sick, poor, afflicted or in bondage! He created us to rule over His creations, nurture them and manifest the greatness that He planted within us.
We often think of Adam; the first man God created as being a perfect man yet God created him with the potential to grow and develop. "Then God blessed them, and God said to them, “Be fruitful and multiply; fill the earth and subdue it; have dominion over the fish of the sea, over the birds of the air, and over every living thing that moves on the earth.” Genesis1:28
God even gave Adam the responsibility to tend the garden and keep it “I want you to tend the garden, and keep it”. We can simply say that God gave Adam a job to do, a role to play in developing God’s seeds of greatness in his life. God’s desire for humanity is the same as His desire for Adam. God wanted Adam to grow, and develop everything He has given him in creation.
The seed of greatness is from God and it's your responsibility to cultivate them for it to be productive in your life while God does the increase. You must give yourself to training by nurturing the seed of talent and gifts that God has put in you.
The word “seed” simply means potential, within every seed there is a life and a power that determines its growth. A seed has the potential necessary for the growth of a plant for mankind to enjoy and utilize.
There is one difference between natural seeds and God’s seeds of greatness, the difference is that God’s seeds are permanent. "Whoever has been born of God does not sin, for His seed remains in him; and he cannot sin, because he has been born of God." 1John 3:9
God says that His seed of greatness will remain within a Christian; it's permanent. There is therefore no question as to whether you do or do not have God’s seed in your life. God shows no favouritism! If only one person has the evidence of enjoying health, wealth and Joy, then it is available for every person.
The development of the seed is determined by the quality of the ground in which it is planted. Let’s provide our seeds of greatness with a soil of positive faith and affirmation!
The seeds of greatness revolve around one vital requirement, which is faith! Situations like Self-esteem, desire, the decision we make and a host of others, require faith.
The greatest example of faith in the old testament is Abraham. That seed of greatness which God planted in him certainly grew and produced a rich harvest, and we are to “walk in the steps of the faith which our father Abraham had” (Romans 4:12).
It's no doubt that God sows the same seed of greatness in everyone who becomes a member of His kingdom. For us, God has taken the future tense and turned it into the past tense. God is not saying to you "I will, rather, He is saying “I have made you… I have blessed you… you are a blessing… “You are more than conquerors” (Romans 8:37)
The seed of greatness to succeed is present in you, grow it, nurture it and walk in it!
