Fruits are amazing. You get a harvest and the ability to invest all in one. The substance, which is what we eat or use, is the harvest, while the seed or seeds inside of the fruit are used to invest in acquiring more harvest in the future.
Now, when the seed is planted, the aim of the seed is to become a tree or a plant that bears many fruits. But the seed does not become fully grown overnight. If the planter doesn't believe in the seed, he or she tarnishes the seed from ever becoming fully grown, unless it is planted and taken care of.
Where am I going with this?
Our words are like seeds. When tap into God's plan for us on what we are to do, or what our future looks like, or something, as long as it is from God, it is always the end of the journey or the purpose of what we are to achieve at the end, is what God puts forward to us, and wants us to focus on.
Let us note that all these have to do with the manifestation of what God has given us because all that God wants us to achieve in our lives as needs have been given to us. For instance, the mango seed has the potential of a mango within it even though it is just a seed. In other words, there are mangoes within it, all the seed needs to do is to manifest the mangoes within it by being planted and watered to grow on the path to becoming a full-grown fruitful tree, which is what the seed aims to achieve, the fullness and complete stage that any mango seed can ever get to.
We who are Sons and Daughters of God also need to speak or confess what God has revealed to us as the finish line and achievement of what God said. So, all we are to do is just to confess. At the end of the line, we have no business with the journey. To focus on the journey can be discouraging at times, but when we remember what we intend to achieve at the end, we are strengthened the more to push forward.
To confess our purpose, that which we are to achieve at the end of our journey, which could be in health, work, finances, life in general or anything, is an act of faith. Look at Jesus when He calmed the storm in Matthew 8:23-27; Mark 4:35-41: Luke 8:22-25. He told His disciples, "Let us cross over to the other side of the lake." (ref.: Mark 4:35; Luke 8:22). Jesus had said in John 5:19 that He does nothing of Himself, but only what He sees His Father do, that He does. This would imply that when He told His disciples to cross over to the other side of the lake, He was being led by the Holy Spirit. And on Jesus' mind, He was already on the other side.
Now, Jesus slept off on the boat at the most dangerous side of the boat. When His disciples cried out in panic by waking Him up after He had rebuked the storm, He said, "Why are you so fearful? How is it that you have no faith?" (ref.: Mark 4:40). What Jesus meant was that they didn't see themselves at the other side of the lake, but Jesus did by faith.
Our words are like seeds, and for us to release the full potential of what it would become eventually, we must cherish and nurture our words, which is confessing what God has spoken to us, and meditating on the word of God. And we know that the word of God is Jesus Himself. We are to focus on His life, which has become ours, to receive revelations from time to time in the leading and guidance of the Holy Spirit, our strengthener, helper, comforter, and the one that points us to Jesus.
Like seeds, never take your words for granted, for what you sow, you will reap; what you say, you will get.
Why not accept Jesus today if you haven’t? Pray out loud, “Jesus, I confess that You are my Lord and Saviour. I believe in my heart that God raised You from the dead. By faith in Your Word, I receive salvation now. Thank You for saving me!” Congratulations, you’re born again, you are now brand new!
