Seed Of Th
THE FIRST PROPHECY
T
The first prophecy recorded in Scriptures
is a profound one. Genesis 3:14-15 “...
And I will put enmity between you and
the woman, and between your seed and
her Seed; He shall bruise [or crush] your
head, and you shall bruise His heel.” The
foretold enmity between seeds brings to
our attention two groups of people, the
woman’s seed and the serpent’s seed.

There are not very many times when I have
seen the undeniable, supernatural power of
God manifestly at work in a miraculous way
but this day was one such time. The Church
where I became a born again believer and
was a member had annual family days where
members would stay back after service for
a day of fellowship and updates from the
leaders. Members were told to take along a
packed lunch as this was a whole day affair.
The leaders from the governing body that
oversees this Church were often also present.
On this particular day I remember our pastor
and Church leaders laying out the plans
for the coming year to us. They mentioned
plans to develop about an acre of idle land
that formed part of the Church’s property.
They proposed planting vegetables etc. there
but would need help from members of the
congregation. As I listened and looked over
the congregation the word of the Lord came
to me. “The people need my Holy Spirit
to refresh them so they can complete this
project. They are not filled with my Spirit and
therefore the project will fail if they do not
get filled.” I thought the Lord wanted me to
tell this to the leaders so during the break I
approached them. My pastor introduced me
to the visiting leaders before I proceeded to
relate what the Lord said to me.
January - March 2016
As a fairly young believer then, I did not
expect the response I received. Not one of
them considered my message as possibly
coming from God. Not one took some time
to reflect or consider but instead immediately
started to debate with me as to whether or
not there was such a thing as being ‘filled
with the Spirit’. I may have been young,
inexperienced and not as knowledgeable in
Scriptures as they were but I knew God told
me something. None of these men, that had
so much to say, had the spiritual girth to pick
up on the fact that God had spoken, they all
missed it. That day it dawned on me how far
religious formality was from spiritual reality.
There could be more enemies of the cross
among God’s people than there are outside
the Kingdom, the seed of the serpent right
here among us.
THE ANTICIPATION
The serpent [the devil] fully aware of the
prophecy above looked henceforth with
nervous anticipation for the Seed that would
crush his head. From that time on he would
desperately try to stop the birth of anyone
who could possibly be that person. If he
failed in aborting the child he would then try
to kill it shortly after birth. We have two such
prominent stories where the seed of the devil
ordered the massacre of boy babies based on
