Open Heaven for Today 13 October 2019: [Sunday] – The Power In a Seed
THE POWER IN A SEED – Sunday October 13th 2019
Memorise: But this I say, He which soweth sparingly shall reap also sparingly; and he which soweth bountifully shall reap also bountifully. 2nd Corinthians 9:6
Read: Genesis 26:12-14 (KJV)
12 Then Isaac sowed in that land, and received in the same year an hundredfold: and the Lord blessed him.
13 And the man waxed great, and went forward, and grew until he became very great:
14 For he had possession of flocks, and possession of herds, and great store of servants: and the Philistines envied him.
Bible in one year: 2nd Chronicles 1-4, Revelation 8:1-12, Hymn: Sing hymn 4
Message:
Seeds are a small part of the fruits produced by a plant from which new plants spring forth when planted.

The power inherent in a seed is its ability to reproduce. Therefore, the more seeds one sows, the greater the harvest of seeds one will obtain, which is why 2nd Corinthians 9:6 says:
“But this I say, He which soweth sparingly shall reap also sparingly; and he which soweth bountifully shall reap also bountifully.”
Isaac’s experience in today’s Bible reading teaches us the reward of sowing seeds. After the Lord commanded him not to go down to Egypt in search of “greener pastures”, he settled in Gerar in spite of a famine raging there, and got to work sowing seeds. Beloved, every work you do in line with God’s word will be blessed by Him. On the other hand, if you do nothing, God will bless nothing! This is a steadfast divine principle. Every time God performed miracles of multiplication in the Bible, there was always something for Him to bless (Matthew 14:14-21, Matthew 15:32-38, 1st Kings 17:9-15, 2nd Kings 4:1-6, 2nd Kings 4:42-44).

The good news is that everyone always has something at his or her disposal that can serve as a springboard into the realm of supernatural multiplication. Before feeding the five thousand through the miracle of multiplication, our Lord Jesus Christ asked the disciples, “How many loaves have ye? Go and see.” After verifying, they told him that they had five loaves and two fish. One can imagine Jesus saying, “That is more than enough!” He blessed the loaves and fish, and after more than five thousand people had eaten from them, they had twelve baskets of fragments as leftovers! The seed in this miracle are the five loaves of bread and two fish. Likewise, the widow of Zarephath had a seed of only a little flour and oil in a curse, but when God blessed her seed, it became a bumper harvest of cakes for three and half years. A similar thing happened to the widow of a man from the company of the prophets. She ran to Elisha concerning the debt left behind by her husband. In response to her cry for help, Elisha said to her in 2nd Kings 4:2a:

“… What shall I do for thee? tell me, what hast thou in the house?”
The widow replied that she had nothing at all except a little oil. Little did she know that what she had was enough seed to get her out of poverty. Beloved, find out what God has deposited in you as a seed that He can use to perform the miracle you need. After you have discovered the seed, be ready to surrender it because there is power in that seed if only you can sow it (John 12:24). Unless your seed leaves your hand, you cannot unleash its power to bless you. So, release that seed today and you will witness its power in bringing blessings to your life.
Prayer Point
Father, open my eyes to identify the seed You have deposited in me for my desired miracle of multiplication, and help me to sow and not eat it.
