The Anointing Is On the Seed
Truly, truly I say to you, unless a grain of wheat falls into the ground and dies, it remains alone. But if it dies, it bears much fruit.
- John 12:24
Archaeologists found seeds stored in the tomb of the Egyptian Pharaoh Tutankhamen when it was opened in 1922. Those seeds were planted and watered, and they grew and bore fruit.
Your finances are like the seed. They have miracle-working power and resurrection potential inside them. Although a seed dies when planted, it resurrects itself and bears fruit. What you hold onto will never multiply. But let go and allow the seed to die. Then it will multiply abundantly bringing a bountiful harvest for both the Lord and you.
God's anointing is on the seed. The seed has life inside itself; it is only waiting for someone to plant it.
Consider a kernel of corn. Inside that kernel is the stalk, the ears, and the grain. You cannot see them now, but they are there. You can count the number of kernels on a corn cob, but you cannot number the ears of corn in one seed. Only God knows the abundant potential of the harvest. You sow and trust the harvest to Him. The seed in your hand has the potential to produce abundantly.
Lord, grant me the trust in You to sow Generously, having faith in Your harvest. Let my seed die so that Your seed may live. Amen.
