A
farmer who desires a harvest better than his last will be wise enough to sow
the seeds of the best fruits from his last harvest or go for more quality
seeds. This explains why the Ebira’s (Kogi State, Nigeria) Yam’s come out
extremely big. In addition to planting good seeds, the Yams also take advantage
of the very big hips made for them. Hence Genesis 8v22 mandates that every
harvest must be preceded by a seed time.
Now
after the fall of man, God in His infinite mercies sowed His only begotten son
(Jesus) through His death on the cross, John 3v16 to harvest the whole world. I
am privileged and also make bold to say that I am a product of that seed God
sowed. Because everybody had now been grafted with the corrupt tree
automatically as we are born into this world, the only way to get man to
produce good fruits again was to destroy the illegal grafting and replace it
with the tree of God’s seed which is already our root so this another way of
saying we are been restored back to where we were before the fall. How do we
undergo this grafting process? John
1v12 says;
“But
as many a received Him, to the gave He power to become the sons of God...”
So
as we repent, accept, and confess Jesus as our Lord and personal saviour the
grafting takes place and the Holy Spirit which is God’s seed is given us. The
Holy Spirit is interpreted as power because that is what he actually according
to Acts 1v8 saying;
“And ye shall receive Power when the Holy
Spirit is come upon you...”
Hence the Holy Spirit is behind the
manifestation of the fruit without which you can do nothing, John 15v5. We are
now children of God having gone through this process but it’s important that
our access limits to God are spelt out.
Many claim to have God as their Father and see
Him more as a consuming fire than a loving Father. Please don’t get me wrong, I
am only trying to clarify that God is a consuming fire to His enemies and a loving
Father to us His children. What is therefore our access limit to God our
father? Luke 11v11-13 and Romans 8v32 reads respectively;
“If
a son shall ask bread of any of you that is a father, will he give him a stone?
Or if he as a fish, will he for a fish give him a serpent? Or if he shall ask
an egg, will he offer him a scorpion? If ye then, being evil, know how to give
good gifts unto your children: how much more shall your heavenly father
give...”
“He
that spared not His own Son, but delivered him up for us all, how shall he not
with him also freely give us all things”
God
will go to any length for us. We have an unlimited access to Him any time. In
fact scripture reveals that He doesn’t sleep, Psalm 121v4. In Luke 15v31 He
releases a blank cheque for us to fill out with our desire. Hear Him;
“And
he said unto him, Son, thou art ever with me and ALL that I have is thine”
