Genesis 1:11
And God said, Let the earth bring forth
grass, the herb yielding seed, and the fruit tree yielding fruit after
his kind, whose seed is in itself, upon the earth: and it was so
God
created fruit trees to yield fruit after its kind. The fruit tree's
seed is within itself. A seed is a very significant part of a plant.
Seeds have everything they will ever become within them. Roots are
produced and come forth out of the seed and anchor the entire plant or
tree.
Root defined:
• The
part of a plant that has no leaves or buds and usually spreads
underground, anchoring the plant and absorbing water and nutrients from
the soil.
Jesus said, “For there is no good
(healthy) tree that bears decayed (worthless, stale) fruit, nor on the
other hand does a decayed (worthless, sickly) tree bear good fruit. For
each tree is known and identified by its own fruit; for figs are not
gathered from thornbushes, nor is a cluster of grapes picked from a
bramblebush. The upright (honorable, intrinsically good) man out of the
good treasure [stored] in his heart produces what is upright (honorable
and intrinsically good), and the evil man out of the evil storehouse
brings forth that which is depraved (wicked and intrinsically evil); for
out of the abundance (overflow) of the heart his mouth speaks. (Luke
6:43-45 AMP).
Words are seeds and are impregnated
with life or death. Once spoken, they quickly look for soil to begin
germination and root permeation. The seed must be watered and nurtured
in order for the shell of the seed to be broken to let the inner life of
the seed come out. The seed will only produce what is in it, no
surprises, oops or mistakes--it is what it is.
If we
have undesirable fruit in our lives it is because, somewhere along the
way, a seed was sown that contained the results you now see. The roots
of a seed is what sustains the whole plant. If the roots are destroyed,
the plant will die. God told Jeremiah that He put His words in his mouth
to root out, pull down, destroy and throw down, but also to build and
plant. God’s word is the only thing qualified to uproot seeds of death
and destruction, yet at the same time build and plant the good will of
God.
So begin to be selective about the words or seeds you allow
to be planted in your heart and mind because they will produce a
harvest; good or bad.
