The promise is in the seed

The all-knowing, all-wise, and all-powerful God knows the potential that is encapsulated in a seed. A seed is a powerful thing. Every seed is a journey in potential realization. One seed may differ from another in its genetic makeup and every seed has the potential to be a forest.

God had made a promise to Abraham and the promise was that he was going to be a father of many nations. Remember, Abraham was 75 years at this time and he does not have a child.

"Now the promises (covenants, agreements) were decreed and made to Abraham and his Seed (his Offspring, his Heir). He [God] does not say, And to seeds (descendants, heirs), as if referring to many persons, but, And to your Seed (your Descendant, your Heir), obviously referring to one individual, Who is [none other than] Christ (the Messiah). (Gal.3.16 Amp)

Now Abraham was the biological father of the Jewish people but for him to be the father of every nation, the seed is required. Because it is in the seed that the promise is fulfilled. There are only two races -the Jewish race and every other nation make up the none Jewish race- Gentiles. For Abraham to be a father of many nations, he has to be a father to the Gentiles too. And for this to happen, the seed was required. Jesus was the seed that made that possible. Everyone who accepts Jesus became Abraham's child and therefore fulfilled the promise. 

Just as Abraham was only able to fulfill the promise in his seed so also every promise God has made to you is in seed form. Take that seed, plant it and see it grow to the fulfillment of your potential. Your promise is in the seed. Tremendous power is available in the seed. You could only see the seed, not what's in the seed. The seed has too much for the eyes to be able to comprehend all that is in it. The promise is in your seed.

Good day,
And have a great day today,

What's in a name?

What's in a name?  "He named him Noah, saying, "This one will give us a break from the hard work of farming the ground that GOD cursed." (Gen.5.29)  Names have prophetic attributes in them. When a thing is named, the name defines what it does and what it cannot do. When a person is named, his future is foretold, especially when the persons parents are in tune with the agenda of God. But that person has to work to bring that prophecy to reality.  John the baptist was a case in point when the wrong name would have been given. If the parent had not listened and obeyed God's instruction but instead bow to family and societal pressure.  "And his mother answered and said, Not so; but he shall be called John." (Luke.1.60)  Another example is Benjamin, the second son from the loved-wife of Jacob. As the mother was dying from the pain of childbirth, he called the child Benoni but his father says not so, he shall be called Benjamin  "With her las

Jesus is the answer to the sin problem

Jesus is the answer to the sin problem  "When he served as a sacrifice for our sins, he solved the sin problem for good--not only ours, but the whole world's". (1John.1.2 MSB) When Adam and Eve sinned in the Garden of Eden, the sin passed through them to all men. And so the Bible recorded that all have sinned and come short of the glory of God.  "Wherefore, as by one man sin entered into the world, and death by sin; and so death passed upon all men, for that all have sinned:" (Rom.5.12)  But that was just the beginning of the story. Sin entered the world, and death came as a result of sin. It appears that mankind was doomed.  But Jesus came and served the punishment for sin and in so doing, He solved the sin problem for good. Now mankind has access once again to the Father. Now everything the Father has for us is at our disposal. Now we can reign by Jesus Christ and receive the abundance that God has for us.  "For if by one man's offence death reigned b

Who makes me who I am

An Isoko adage says, "the name you call yourself is what others will call you. Meeting students, I have had cause to ask them if that was the name their parents named them and they say no. My real name is...and then they tell me. But whatever they call themselves is what other students call them. You are who you say you are, but the truth is, you act the way you become because you think that's who you are. So if you called yourself a policeman when you are a soldier, you will act as a policeman. If you are an eagle but call yourself a chicken, then you will act like a chicken. If you call yourself a failure, that's what you begin to act as. Little wonder, Jabez changed his name in the place of prayer, he declared that he is blessed and God granted his prayers. (see 1Chro:4:9-10). The way you act is a deep-seated product of who you think you are and who you think you are is a product of who you call yourself. What do you call yourself? Who are you? "What
