GOD WILL NOT DEMAND A MIRACLE SEED FROM YOU (PART 2)

By Rev,Michael Benson Ajayi 

John 1:12 AMP  “But to as many as did receive and welcome Him, He gave the authority (power, privilege, right) to become the children of God, that is, to those who believe in (adhere to, trust in, and rely on) His name “

         The born again Christian has all the blessings of Jesus Christ dwelling in his or her spirit (center of consciousness) and nothing can be added to what God has already blessed us with. 2 Peter3: 1 says we have been given everything needed to live a fulfilled life and this is achieved through the knowledge of who we are in Christ.Note , the tense of the word ‘given’ used in that scripture; it is not futuristic but in the now and present continuous..

          Therefore, if we have been given all blessings , which other blessing are we seeking for? The word blessing in (Eph1:3) is better appreciated from its meaning ,it is the Greek word  ‘eulogia’ which means : fine speaking, commendation , adoration; benediction; by implication, consecration; by extension benefit or largess. The born again Christian is consecrated and adorable before God and a benefactor of all that belongs to God , therefore, we are not trying to be holy and acceptable before God , we already are.   

          Therefore , you must not follow a particular religious leader (so-called Fathers or Mothers of Faith) in other to be blessed as seen in many churches today , this exposes us to exploitation and leads to pride. Jesus paid for every miracle you would ever need :they are yours right now, you must not give a ‘miracle seed ‘ to anyone to receive  your pregnancy, job, finances etc.  We are warned against seeking for blessings like the old testament folks did in their ignorance. 1 Cor 3:21-23 NLT says “So don't boast about following a particular human leader. For everything belongs to you, the world, or life and death, or the present and the future. Everything belongs to you,  and you belong to Christ, and Christ belongs to God."

         Some persons have exalted their pastors, bishops , prophets above God’s word and believe that until they are prayed for by these human idols ,they cannot be blessed when all that is needed is faith in God’s word. They are told to ‘sow a seed’ in other to receive a miracle meanwhile , when the bible speaks of ‘seed’  it is referring to receiving the word of God into your heart .Luke 8:11 says that ‘the seed is The Word of God’. Therefore , if you are looking for a miracle , seek to know what God's word says about the situation while following the  instructions written therein and meditating long enough until there is peace in your heart and your miracle will come to pass.

        Reference is often made to Isaac sowing seed in Gen . 26: In this case, it was a literal seed like corn , millet, wheat , based on the seed of God’s word received by revelation. He did not give money or some landed property to a prophet as often misinterpreted . Another , reference often used is that of Isaac instructing his son Esau to give him a particular meal in other to receive a blessing  Gen 27:25 KJV “And he said, Bring it near to me, and I will eat of my son's venison, that my soul may bless thee.” The phrase ‘may bless thee’ is the Hebrew word  ‘barak’ it means to kneel; by implication to bless God (as an act of adoration), and (vice-versa) man (as a benefit); it also means to curse as the consequence of treason. 

          This event took place before the Old Testament's law, there was no written word of God , therefore , God’s promises where transferred  from parents to children orally and an aging , ailing Isaac wanted to be in a good health to pass this information to Esau as it was passed unto him by his father Abraham.  New Testament believers  are blessed with the blessing of Abraham through faith in Jesus Christ (Gal3:13-14)and we have the word of God engraved in our hearts and we have the bible , therefore, due diligence( through in-dept research of scriptures) should be made to know our rights and privileges and walk in them by faith, 

         God is against the theology of ‘seed sowing’ being preferred over Christian  character development. A Godly character  of love and selflessness is to be preferred above offerings (Eccl5:1) ,obedience  is better than sacrifice (1 sam.15:22) for all things are possible to those who believe .We should pray against anxiety to avoid falling into the enemy's trap remembering there are persons who have received greater breakthroughs than what we desire of the lord by simply putting their trust in the lord.

             Prayer: Heavenly Father forgive me of my sins against you, I believe Jesus Christ died and was raised again for my salvation I receive him as lord and saviour and receive grace and wisdom for extraordinary progress in Jesus name.
