Two: GERMINATION
Each seed has a germination period or the span of time between planting and the beginning stages of development. Interestingly enough, each seed has its own determined time for germination. Because farmers know the germination period of the seeds they have planted, they aren’t concerned if there is no evidence of seed growth before the expected time period. They don’t even live in the spirit of comparison when looking at other farmers’ fields, especially when they have planted a different seed than their neighbor. Each farmer knows how long it should take the seed to germinate or die, develop, and be transformed into its new state.Consider yourself a seed germinating!
Listen fellow dirt dwellers, our time in the dirt has been predetermined, divinely orchestrated, and set. Our dirt dwelling experiences are enhanced when we let go and let God! God knows how long it is going to take us to die to self, die to our agendas, and die to our plans and preconceived ideas. God’s desire is for each of us to die to self with a willing spirit to embrace the development stages that transform us into the authentic “you” He established before He said, “Let there be light!”
Three: SPROUTING TO BREAKTHROUGH
It is during this time that the ability in the seed is given the opportunity to grow in the dirt. Farmers understand that in order for the seeds to move from germination to the sprouting stage, they must still tend to the cultivating requirements of the seeds. Some need more water. Some need less. Some need tons of sunlight. Some other seeds need very little exposure. However, whatever is needed for the seeds to progress in their development, the farmer does what is necessary. The ultimate purpose is for the seeds to gain enough strength to break through the confinement of the surface with the expectation of reaching its fullest potential.
Consider yourself a seed that is meant to grow and breakthrough where you are planted!
Based upon the revelation I currently possess, I believe this is a very critical phase of our spiritual growth as a seed. In spite of the numerous counterproductive atmospheric pressures, we are created to grow wherever we are planted. It is when we activate the empowerment potential to produce and bear fruit in the midst of the most unlikely places (situations, circumstances, and surroundings that don’t encourage harvest) that we emerge from a place of hiding to exposure. We come from the background to the forefront, from obscurity to notoriety. Therefore, do not despise your dirty beginnings.
Again, Selah! Think on these things until…
