What Are You Waiting For?

In Matthew 13:19 Jesus Implies the “word of the Kingdom” is seed. In Luke chapter 8:11 Jesus surpassed implication and left no doubt when he said “The seed is the word of God”.

This is good news for believers! If the “word” is “Kingdom seed” what it will grow in our lives is Kingdom fruit! We find a wagon load of Kingdom fruit described in Galatians 5:22-23. There is Love, Joy, Peace, Patience, Gentleness, Faith, Meekness, Temperance. Look in Philippians 4:19, Joel 3:10, 1 Peter 2:24 and pile Provision, Strength and Healing on the wagon.

Don’t wait for the sweet by and by. Fill the fertile ground of your regenerated spirit with Kingdom seed. You can live in the Kingdom now. This is the Fathers will for his children. Consider the following:

The Father wants us to give us the things of his Kingdom.
Luke 12:32 “it is your Father's good pleasure to give you the Kingdom”.
The Father has put us in the Kingdom. We are in it now!
Colossians 1:13 He “hath translated us into the Kingdom of his dear Son.”
The Father has qualified born again believers to partake in our inheritance which is the Kingdom.
Colossians 1:12 “Giving thanks unto the Father, which hath made us meet to be partakers of the inheritance of the saints”.
The Kingdom has already been ushered in.
Mark 9:1 That there be some of them that stand here, which shall not taste of death, till they have seen the Kingdom of God come with power.
Acts 8:1 “But ye shall receive power, after that the Holy Ghost is come upon you;”
Jesus instructed us to pray for the Kingdom to manifest in and around us now.
Matthew 6:10 “Thy Kingdom come”.
As believers we should be receiving the Kingdom now.
Hebrews 12:28 Wherefore we receiving a Kingdom which cannot be moved.
How much of the Kingdom we receive and walk in during this life depends on how much Kingdom seed we plant in the regenerated soil of our born again spirits.
Matthew 13:23 But he that received seed into the good ground is he that heareth the word, and understandeth it; which also beareth fruit, and bringeth forth, some an hundredfold, some sixty, some thirty.

I say again Jesus clearly stated planting Kingdom seed, to reap Kingdom fruit, is the “Mystery” of how the Kingdom works. Many believers are trying to produce the things of the Kingdom in their lives with words. Words cannot produce kingdom fruit without Kingdom seed first being planted. Others are trying to produce Kingdom fruit by prayer. It does not matter how much we pray and ask for peace, joy, provision, strength or faith none will manifest in our lives if we have not planted seed.

Planting seed comes first!

In Luke 17:5-6 the Apostles asked Jesus to increase their faith. Jesus replied “If ye had faith as a grain of mustard seed, ye might say unto this sycamine tree, Be thou plucked up by the root, and be thou planted in the sea; and it should obey you.” Look at this again. Jesus told them “You don’t need to seek more faith. What you need to seek is more seed”.

Kingdom seed is powerful stuff! Turn off the television. Get your bible and plant some seed. Water the seed with prayer. Pull up weeds that want to choke the seed with your words. Kingdom seed will explode and grow in you. What are you waiting for? The Father is pleased to give you the Kingdom. Begin enjoying it now.
