A Seed Must Die to Give Life — Repentance (Day 1)
Repentance: The Seed That Brings Righteousness
“The one who supplies seed to the sower and bread for food will also supply and increase your store of seed and will enlarge the harvest of your righteousness.” (2 Corinthians 9:10)
In farming, the principle is simple: you reap what you sow. If you plant apple seeds, you will not harvest pears. In the same way, what you plant spiritually determines your harvest.
Isaiah 59:1-2 teaches that the Lord is not too weak to save or too deaf to hear. It is sin that creates a barrier, separating us from God.
Letting the Old Self Die
A seed must die in the soil before it produces life. In the same way, we must let sinful habits die if we want spiritual growth. God is holy, and we cannot cling to destructive habits if we desire closeness with Him.
Repentance Before Sacrifice
Repentance breaks the barrier between us and God. Without it, offerings and tithes lose meaning. Do not be misled into giving offerings while living in sin. What matters most to God is repentance (Matthew 4:17).
Sowing Your Time in God’s Word (Day 2)
Recognizing Christ Through the Scriptures
Many identify as Christians but do not know how to truly invite Christ Jesus (Yahusha) into their lives. In Luke 24:16, two disciples walked with Jesus yet did not recognize Him. He revealed Himself through the Scriptures, explaining what was written about Him from Moses to the Prophets (Luke 24:25-27).
When He broke bread with them, their eyes opened, and they recognized Him. Then, He disappeared (Luke 24:30-31). He led them back to the Scriptures because understanding God’s Word opens our spiritual eyes.
Seeking God in Truth
God is spirit, and true worshipers must worship in spirit and truth (John 4:24). We do not find Jesus in grand buildings, titles, or rituals. Many leaders sell spiritual items instead of guiding people into the Word. Judgment awaits those who lead others astray (Matthew 7:21-23).
Overcoming Ignorance Through the Word
Our greatest enemy is not Satan but ignorance. “My people are destroyed for lack of knowledge” (Hosea 4:6). Spend time reading the Bible daily. Sow God’s Word into your heart. Let it shape your actions, thoughts, and relationships.
Avoid chasing modern idols like money, fame, or lust. Instead, crucify your flesh daily and surrender to Christ. Sow faith, love, and peace into others. A consistent and disciplined commitment to God’s Word will bear lasting fruit in your life.
Sowing the Seed of Love (Day 3)
Love Over Ritual
“I desire faithful love more than animal sacrifices. I want people to know Me more than burnt offerings.” (Hosea 6:6)
God values love and mercy above ritual. Many pay tithes faithfully yet neglect to love their neighbours. A person may give to the church while ignoring a family member in desperate need. This reflects religion, not discipleship.
Love in Action, Not Just Words
Matthew 25:31-46 reminds us that Christ will ask, “Where were you when I was sick or in need?” Many who perform miracles or prophesy will hear Him say, “I never knew you!” (Matthew 7:21-23).
God calls us to invest in people, not just in religious systems. The Hebrew word “zara’” means to sow or scatter seed, but it also means to become pregnant. When we sow into others’ lives—through time, skills, or resources—we plant seeds of life that produce an eternal harvest.
God’s Harvest Through Obedience
Christ Jesus taught: “Love the Lord your God with all your heart, soul, mind, and strength. Love your neighbour as yourself.” (Mark 12:30-31)
True sowing happens when we care for those in need. An offering is not the same as “seed money.” Jesus invested in people, not buildings. “He went about doing good.” (Acts 10:38)
If we fail to care for our families, we deny the faith (1 Timothy 5:8). As we show love in action, God—the Lord of the Harvest—brings increase and promotion.
