PRINCIPLES OF HARVEST ? Become Seed Conscious.

Harvest is not natural to nature. It is described as the process of gathering a crop; something brought about by a cause: synonyms used for harvest include- aftermath, consequence, corollary, effect, end product, event, fruit, issue, outcome, precipitate, ramification, result, resultant.

Zechariah 8:12- 'For the seed shall be prosperous, the vineshall give its fruit, the ground shall give her increase, and the heavens shall give their dew--I will cause the remnant of this people to possess all these.

Mark 4:11-13- And He said to them, "To you it has been given to know the mystery of the kingdom of God; but to those who are outside, all things come in parables, so that 'Seeing they may see and not perceive, And hearing they may hear and not understand; Lest they should turn, And their sins be forgiven them.' " And He said to them, "Do you not understand this parable? How then will you understand all the parables?

The most important mystery in the kingdom is the mystery of the seed. It is always the seed that prospers. Jesus made a very dynamic statement here that until you understand the mystery of the seed you couldnt understand other mysteries of God. If you have not yet discovered the power of the seed you cannot discover the power of the kingdom. The principle of sowing and reaping is what makes us tap into Gods greater good.

AMPLIFIED-To you it has been entrusted the mystery of the kingdom, that is the secret counsel of God which are hidden from the ungodly.

Jesus made another powerful point here; you and I have been entrusted with God?s secret counsel. If you can understand this truth you will understand every other principle in the kingdom of God. It is quite amazing that this principle works in the life of those who don't know God but apply it anyway. Everything we do in life is a seed; it has potential to bring into our lives good or evil, in fact tomorrow started yesterday.

Power of a good seed: Within every seed is the ability to reproduce itself. Every seed sown into the kingdom of God has ability to reproduce when it is honorable. When it is not honorable it is a dead seed.

Genesis 1:12- And the earth brought forth grass, the herb that yields seed according to its kind, and the tree that yields fruit, who seseed is in itself according to its kind. And God saw that it was good.

Malachi: 1:12-14-"But you profane it, in that you say,'The table of the LORD is defiled; and its fruit, its food, is contemptible.'You also say, 'Oh, what a weariness!' And you sneer at it," Says the LORD of hosts. "And you bring the stolen, the lame, and the sick; thus you bring an offering! Should I accept this from your hand?" Says theLORD.  "But cursed be the deceiver who has in his flock a male, And makes a vow, But sacrifices to the Lord what is blemished-- For I am a great King," Says the LORD of hosts, "And My name is to be feared among the nations.

Proverbs 3:9- Honor the LORD with your possessions, and with the first fruits of all your increase;

That which we do not honor is not honorable to God and that which has no power to reproduce itself has no future.

2 Corinthians 9:10- Now may He who supplies seed to the sower, and bread for food, supply and multiply the seed you have sown and increase the fruits of your righteousness?

Inside every good and honorable seed are results you need at a later date. Many believers are not in tune with the power and understanding of the seed so they eat their seed with their bread and kill the power of harvest in their future. Inside every harvest that God brings into your life there is seed and bread.

Become Seed Conscious: Too many people are need conscious instead of being seed conscious. Those who sow seeds are never moved by needs.Until your seed supersedes your need, you never have a supernatural harvest.You must never look at the greatness of your need but of your seed. The power of the seed is not based on its size but on its ability to reproduce. There is no power within the seed until it is sown. It is only when a seed is sown that it grows and becomes. When your seed becomes greater than your need, you will provoke God?s supernatural harvest.

Mark 4:30-32- Then He said, "To what shall we liken the kingdom of God? Or with what parable shall we picture it? It is like a mustardseed which, when it is sown on the ground, is smaller than all the seeds on earth; but when it is sown, it grows up and becomes greater than all herbs, and shoots out large branches, so that the birds of the air may nest under itsshade."

If your seed is not sown it will die.
