The power of a seed

Inside every fruit there is a seed. A seed has a potential to produce a tree. God has placed gifts and talents inside of us. It's your responsibility to get the good ground to plant the seed. One seed has a potential to serve many nations. In the beginning God created the heaven and earth by His word (Gen.1:1). The word of God is an incorruptible seed. Whatever God said out of His mouth produced exactly what He wanted.

Potential

Gen. 1:26-28 God created man and gave him dominion. Power to dominate. God wanted us to be fruitful, hence He gave us a seed. When you are fruitful, you don't ask people take your fruit. People will come to you because you are bearing fruits. You don't need to advertise yourself. The good example is the Apple product. The company produces good products that most people like and enjoy using. Even when they don't advertise their products, people still come and buy them. A good product sells itself. A seed must be placed in a good soil to bear fruit. The tree doesn't sell itself. The fruit on the tree will attract people to itself.

The purpose of a seed

In Gen. 1:29 God said, I have given you every plant yielding seed that is on the face of the earth, and every tree with seed in its fruit. It begins with a seed. All you need is in a seed. A seed will make you productive. Gen. 8:22 declares that seedtime and harvest shall not cease. A seed is produced by a fruit from a tree, every seed produces after its own kind. A process of reproduction starts when a seed is planted. Once you have taken a fruit from the tree, it doesn't die but reproduce all the times.

Likewise, we must reproduce ourselves

Reproduction is mentoring and leaving a succession plan. Leave a legacy to the next generation. The founder and owner of Apple product, Steve Job left a legacy to his company. The legacy that you leave is as a result of the fruit you produce. His product is supplying the global world. The product is selling even more than when he was alive. The power of a seed is more than just producing fruits.

Sowing seeds

Gen. 26:12 tell us that when we sow a seed, we will get a harvest multiplied 100 times. The good example is Isaac, he was rich and wealthy through sowing a seed. He was blessed by God. He was empowered to prosper because of the seed he sowed. When you sow financial seeds, you will repeat financial harvest. You reap what you sow.
