Bible Text: John 12:23-26
principle of wheat
Once upon a time, a woman went into someone else's melon field in the middle of the night, stole a melon, put it in a sack, and murmured. “You have to sell this melon to buy chickens, the chickens will lay eggs, so you have to hatch all the chicks. When the chicks grow up, you sell the chickens and buy a piglet. When the piglets grow, the mother gives birth again, and when the pigs form a herd, she raises a pig. You have to sell it and buy a calf, the calf will become a mother cow, and when the cows form a herd, sell the cows and buy land, build a nice house, get a pretty, and live happily ever after! When the owner came out to the melon field, he saw a guy sitting in front of a melon sack, muttering and smiling. If you hit the stick, you'll save someone! When I woke up screaming, it was a dream. Such a dream is a destructive dream.
No matter how many unfertilized eggs are incubated, they cannot become chicks. You have to incubate a fertilized egg to become a chick. Jesus is like a fertilized egg. If you embrace him, he will come out as a chick. He is the grain of wealth.
“And you know the grace of our Lord Jesus Christ, that while he was rich, he became poor, so that through his poverty you might become rich” (2 Corinthians 8:9).
The grain of wheat is the law of thriving. The principle of wheat is the principle of wealth.
There must be seeds.
The principle of wheat is the law of agriculture. Farmers, God wants us to live happily. You want to live a richer life. He gives seeds to make it so. After Cain killed Abel, God gave him another seed instead of Abel, whom Cain killed, and he named him Seth, which means, “He gave another seed instead of Abel” (Genesis 4:25).
It is said that even if a farmer dies, he cuts the seeds and dies. “Seeds” are important. The results will vary depending on which seeds are selected and used as seeds. A good seed can produce good fruit.
In the book “March outside the Earth,” written by Biya Han, who works as an emergency relief team leader for the international NGO World Vision, a visit to a rural area in Afghanistan, Africa is told.
The only thing the family of six were reluctant to eat were one wild arrowroot root, 10 sweet potatoes thinner than a finger, and one wild bean. Wild soybeans are deadly poisonous and need to be boiled six times, but because there is no firewood, they can't boil them six times, but boil them three times.
“How do you eat something poisonous?” When asked, “I have nothing to eat right now, so is the poison a problem?” People there fill their hungry stomachs with poison and eat blind, undercooked wild beans that cause liver disease.
Sow seeds in November and harvest in March, but there are no seeds to sow. Since they had nothing to eat, they even ate the seeds. When asked what he needs most now, he replies, “I have nothing to eat, but seeds to sow in the ground are the most urgent.” If you give the seed once, you will never eat it again, and you will sow the seeds and feed your family. What the farmer wanted was not free food, but seeds to be planted in the ground.
This happened in town. Due to limited aid funds, half of the village distributed seeds and half did not. Unfortunately, it did not rain, so the seeds did not germinate and only the seeds were thrown away.
However, the surprising thing is that no one who received the seeds died of starvation until the harvest due to the fact that they sowed the seeds. The difference between those who received and planted seeds and those who did not receive them is the difference between life and death. In that place, the seed alone was the power that made people live.
“a grain of wheat” This is the seed and the seed. You are embracing infinite possibilities.
Seeds must be planted.
The salt in the furnace is also salted to make it salty. No matter how good a seed is, it will not sprout if it is kept in it. You have to plant a seed to reap the fruit.
He also gave a parable, saying, “The kingdom of heaven is like a mustard seed, which a man took and sowed in his field; it is the smallest of all seeds, but when it is grown it is greater than the grass and becomes a tree, so that the birds of the air come and make nests in its branches.” Matthew 13:31-32)
“A mustard seed that he planted in his field” becomes a tree. It must be planted in my field to become mine. “Those who receive them, those who believe in his name” Believers become children of God. A Christian is one who has the Spirit of Christ.
“The human body dies when the heart stops, but the human soul dies when the dream is lost.” You need an individual or an organization or a dream. Individuals grow by their dreams, and organizations grow by the dreams of leaders who lead the organization.
Dreams are seeds. There are seeds of wealth and there are seeds of poverty. When you plant beans, you get beans, and when you plant beans, you get beans.
“The natural man does not receive the works of the Spirit of God, and to him he seems foolish. Nor do they understand, for these things are spiritually immutable” (1 Corinthians 2:14).
Pigs do not know the value of pearls. A fool does not know the power of the gospel. Farmers live on seeds. And sow the seeds. The seed of the Word is the food that satisfies hunger and the seed that satisfies the needs of tomorrow.
“Do not speak in the ear of a fool, for he will despise your wisdom” (Proverbs 23:9) “The message of the cross is foolishness to those who are perishing, but to us who are being saved it is the power of God” (1 Corinthians 1:18).
It doesn't end with planting seeds. There must be an effort to take care of it with care and water. What is not planted cannot flourish, and what is not cultivated cannot be prosperous. “I planted, Apollos watered, but God made it grow” (1 Corinthians 3:6). I must be a planter and then a gardener.
Warren Buffett was able to become a world-class investor and billionaire because he learned the principle of wealth from an early age. He started investing in stocks when he was eleven. I collected seed money to invest in stocks through newspaper delivery. It was a small amount, but as I rolled it over and over, it grew bigger and bigger like a snowball. The money he collects grows bigger as the snowball rolls.
Mr.'s fate is diverse. Roadside seeds end up as birds' food, while stone seeds sprout and die. Only seeds planted in good soil yielded 30 times, 60 times, and 100 times more fruit. I hope that your soul will become the soil and nurture the seeds of wealth to succeed.
The seed must die.
“Truly, truly, I say to you, unless a grain of wheat falls into the ground and dies, it remains alone; but if it dies, it bears much fruit” (verse 24)
Seeds only sprout after death. The seed must die to bear fruit. Not a single grain of wheat dies. As the seed dies, new shoots emerge. If a sprout wants to sprout and bear fruit, that grain of wheat must die.
Jesus said, “The hour has come for the Son of Man to be glorified” (verse 23). The time of glory is the time of death. The beginning of glory is death.
Death and Resurrection, Death and Prosperity, Death and Glory are inevitable. “The thief comes only to steal and kill and destroy; I have come that they may have life and have it abundantly” (John 10:10). You gave your life.
Jesus is like an innocent animal dying for the atonement. An animal sheds blood and dies to take the place of the sin of the sacrificer. In the Old Testament times, atonement was made with the blood of goats or calves, but God made us clean with the blood of Christ (Hebrews 9:12-14).
“He was pierced for our transgressions, he was bruised for our iniquities... With his wounds we are healed” (Isaiah 53:5).
The death of a grain of wheat is a sacrifice to bear much fruit. It is right to tell the grain of wheat that the fruit became the seed, that you died for me. The death of a grain of wheat is ruin, but it becomes the seed for new fruit. It is how many fruits bear fruit through one death.
Peter prevented Jesus from dying. As a disciple, it is a natural way to serve the master. But Jesus rejected the disciple who stood in the way of death, saying, “Satan, get behind me.” Jesus wanted to accomplish the purpose of coming into the world, but he did not understand the meaning of it.
“For the Son of Man came not to be served, but to serve, and to give his life a ransom for many” (Matthew 20:28).
Salmon lays eggs and ends their lives by death. If the mother does not die, there are no offspring and the species cannot be preserved. Where the Wail of Death is, the Festival of New Life takes place.
“A shoot shall come forth from the stem of Jesse, and a branch shall come forth from his roots and bear fruit” (Isaiah 11:1). Jesus is the son of David, and Jesse is David's father. Jesus is “a sprout” from a grain of wheat.
Children reap what their parents sow. Everyone is reaping what they sowed in the past. If you sow now, you will reap later. I have to see for myself what I'm planting now. “Do not deceive yourself... whatever a man sows, that he will also reap” (Galatians 6:7).
Mr. Garajdo is Mr. But no fruit. It destroys oneself and harms others. Seeds must be picked and planted. God allows us to run with our wishes and toil. But the devil puts a grudge in our hearts and makes us complain and complain. They argue and argue (Philippians 2:13-16).
A good seed cannot be valued with money. The seed is the good word of God. They are seed to those who sow, and food to those who eat (Isaiah 55:10). Those words are the source of success and the material of happiness.
Either way, you have to pick the seeds and sow them. The seed must die. It should be the foundation for the sprout of life and the growth of that sprout. The principle of wheat is the principle of wealth. It's the law of abundance. May you become rich by the principle of the grain of wheat.
