TEXT: Genesis 1:11. 

*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.* 

God placed the ability to reproduce within the seed of any plant, meaning the seed dictates the harvest.

Apart from plants, God also made the beast of the earth after his kind, and cattle after their kind, and every thing that creepeth upon the earth after his kind: and God saw that it was good. Genesis 1:25.

Man is not an exception, we are also to produce after our kind. The kind of person you are is determined by the kind of seed you are made of.

From the beginning, God made man after Himself. Man was created in God's own image, after God's own likeness. (Genesis 1:26).  

However, sin entered into man man through disobedience, and this altered the nature of man.

When The Book of Genesis tells us that man was made in God’s image, it reveals that humanity originally carried God’s kind of  nature: righteousness, purity, and perfect fellowship with God. But by the reason of the fall, that divine nature was corrupted, and a new “seed” was introduced- the seed of sin.

This is why man, though created in God’s likeness, began to produce fruits contrary to God’s character.
Just as a seed determines the harvest, the nature within a person determines the life they produce. 

A sinful nature produces sinful actions:, fear, pride, disobedience, and separation from God. 

This aligns with the principle seen throughout the Scripture: everything reproduces after its kind.
But God, in His mercy, did not leave man in that fallen state. He initiated a plan of restoration to plant a new seed within humanity. 

Through salvation, man receives a new nature, a regenerated spirit, and the ability to once again reflect God’s image.
So the question is: What seed is at work in you?
Because whatever seed is in you will ultimately shape your character, your choices, and your destiny.

 *You will produce after your kind, if the seed of God's word is in you, you will bear fruit that aligns with God's character.* You will know the stuffs you are made of by the things you mind or long after.

 *For those who live according to the flesh set their minds on the things of the flesh, but those who live according to the Spirit set their minds on the things of the Spirit. Romans 8:5.* 

 *BIBLE READING:*

 Galatians 5:22-26.

 *PRAYER FOCUS:* 

Father, I receive the grace to follow the leadership of the Holy Spirit in bearing the fruit of the Spirit in Jesus name.

IT IS WRITTEN AGAIN

Text: Matthew 4:6. He told Jesus, “Since you are the Son of God, throw yourself down, because it is written,   ‘God will put his angels in charge of you,’ and,   ‘With their hands they will hold you up, so that you will never hit your foot against a rock.’ Jesus knocked devil off with "it is written" when he came to him with the first temptation. So, the devil too decided to use "it is written" for Jesus for the second temptation.  Don't be deceived, the devil knows the scriptures too. Second Corinthians 11:14 says,  "Satan himself masquerades as an angel of light." So, it's no surprise when you see Satan's messengers masquerading themselves as Apostle of Christ. 2 Corinthians 11:14.  The word of God is perfect. Yet, many people can twist it to their advantage and ultimately to their disadvantage. A drunk, smoker, fornicator, liar and all sort can justify their sinful lifestyles with a Bible verse. See to it that you do not twist the word of Go...

WHEN GOD IS SILENT(2)

Text: Matthew 4:1  *Then Jesus was led up by the Spirit into the wilderness to be tempted by the devil.*  We saw yesterday that God was not pleased with many israelites that left Egypt for the promised land  (Corinthians 10:5).  A good percentage of the Israelites were overthrown in the wilderness.   Wilderness experience is not what any child of God desires, but it is an experience God sends or allows his children go through. In Deuteronomy 8:2, God says that He *LED* the Isrealites through the wilderness for forty years to humble them, to prove them, and to know what was in their heart whether they would keep his commandments or not.  Our Lord Jesus Christ was also *LED* into the wilderness by the Spirit of the Lord to be tempted by the devil. You will  notice there is a similar feature of the number *40(forty)* between these two wilderness experiences. That is, that of the Israelites and our Lord Jesus Christ. The Israelites spent 40years, Jesu...

GULLIBLE BUT INTELLIGENT

Text : Mat 25:31-32  *When the Son of man shall come in his glory, and all the holy angels with him, then shall he sit upon the throne of his glory:*   *And before him shall be gathered all nations: and he shall separate them one from another, as a shepherd divideth his sheep from the goats:*  Have you ever wondered why Jesus compared His followers to sheep and not goats?  Sheep has reputation for being stupid, defenceless and harmless creatures that mope about on hillsides doing not very much. They are good for two things: being eaten and producing wool. According to a study by Keith Kendrick, he said in reality, Sheep are actually surprisingly intelligent, with impressive memory and recognition skills. They build friendships, stick up for one another in fights, and feel sad when their friends are  sent to slaughter. The truth is that sheep are far smarter than we know., All these reasons and more are the basis for Jesus' comparism of His followers with sh...
