The Seed That Fell from the Master's Hand

By Bishop John Stevenson

Jesus said, "...for this cause I came". He came to die for our sins. If Jesus had not done what He was sent to do, then He could not set captivity free. In other words, Jesus said I go to prepare a place for you. Anif I go to prepare a place for you, I will come again, and get you so you will be with me always. Accept a corn of wheat falls to the ground and dies it remains alone. You see, if Jesus had not died to atone our sins, we would remain unfit for the Kingdom. Because no whoremonger, adulterer, fornicator, drunkard, nor idolater will see Heaven. No, absolutely no sinner will see the Kingdom of God. Jesus said I must go first and make ready a place for you in my Father's house where there are many mansions. And after I have accomplished that, I will come back for you and take you back with me and we will spend eternity together.

Jesus is the seed that fell from the Master's hand. The sower, who is the father and the husbandman, sows the seed which is the Word of God. The word then becomes flesh and dwells amongst us and we behold the only begotten Son of God full of glory whose name is the word of God. A seed alone in your hand will only stay a seed. But if you sow that seed, plant that seed. You will then see that seed produce and bring forth a harvest that will give birth to a multitude of seeds. And now that seed that was alone in your hand is no longer alone. It is surrounded by a family of other seeds just like itself. Accept the seed falls to the ground and dies it will remain alone. Jesus, who is the seed's purpose for falling to the earth, was to die. He didn't come to earth to go back to heaven alone. He's coming back to get this Church who will be without spot or wrinkle.

INTRO: THE GENESIS. THE BEGINNING.

44679.png

Seed. Most of us are familiar with a seed and the purpose of a seed. A seed is used in hopes to bring about a harvest of crops. It is amazing how during creation God created every tree and herb to bear fruit of its kind and its fruit contained its own seed for reproduction, for regeneration or shall I say, for procreation. Genesis 1:11-13. And God said, Let the earth bring forth grass, the herb yielding seed, and the fruit tree yielding fruit after his kind, whose seed is in itself, upon the earth: and it was so.12. And the earth brought forth grass, and herb yielding seed after his kind, and the tree yielding fruit, whose seed was in itself, after his kind: and God saw that it was good.13. And the evening and the morning were the third day.

In the World of Agriculture

In the agriculture circle of today, God would probably be known as a person with a green thumb. A person who can make or cause anything to grow. A man who knows His way around the farm or garden. The scriptures talk about how God planted a garden eastward in Eden and how He ran irrigation trenches to His garden.

Genesis 2:8-15, And the LORD God planted a garden eastward in Eden; and there he put the man whom he had formed. 9. And out of the ground made the LORD God to grow every tree that is pleasant to the sight, and good for food; the tree of life also in the midst of the garden, and the tree of knowledge of good and evil. 10. And a river went out of Eden to water the garden; and from thence it was parted, and became into four heads.

11. The name of the first is Psion: that is it which compasseth the whole land of Havilah, where there is gold; 12. And the gold of that land is good: there is bdellium and the onyx stone. 13. And the name of the second river is Gihon: the same is it that compasseth the whole land of Ethiopia. 14. And the name of the third river is Hiddekel: that is it which goeth toward the east of Assyria. And the fourth river is Euphrates. 15. And the LORD God took the man, and put him into the garden of Eden to dress it and to keep it.

The Husband Man

We see that God the Father is referred to as the husbandman or one who tends to the vineyard. He is the one who is a true gardener and a genuine vine dresser.

John 15:1 I am the true vine, and my Father is the husbandman.

Before a seed can bring forth a harvest it must first be planted in the earth. God the Father is the Vine dresser, the Sower and the Gardener who planted the seed Jesus Christ. God planted Him into both the ground called earth and, in the ground, called the heart of man. The word Husbandman here [1092] in the Greek language is (georgos, gheh-ore-gos) means;

1. a land worker, 2. a farmer.

The word georgos come from this word (ge, ghay) which means;

1. soil; a region or the soil part, 2. or the whole of the terrene, 3. globe, 4. ground, 5. country, earth.

And the bases of another word (2041) which is (ergon, er-gon) which means; 1. to work, 2. toil as an effort or occupation, 3. an act or deed, 4. doing labor.

The bible says, that there was no man to work the land. This is meaning that earth had no man before Adam. The only being who possibly could have labored over, worked and farmed the land called earth is God Almighty Himself, the creator of all things in the earth and in the heavens.

The bible also says that God caused a mist of water to come up out of the ground to water the earth or the land.

Genesis 2:5-6, says, 5. And every plant of the field before it was in the earth, and every herb of the field before it grew: for the LORD God had not caused it to rain upon the earth, and there was not a man to till the ground. 6. But there went up a mist from the earth, and watered the whole face of the ground.

After God was finish with all He had done, He created man and placed him in the garden to keep it and to dress it.

The word Keep [8104] means to hedge about as with thorns, to guard protect, to attend to, to observe and to preserver, to reserve, to save, to be a watchman.

The word Dress [5647] means to work, to serve, to till, to enslave, to labor, a worshipper. O how I like that, a worshipper. Our Heavenly Father positioned us in a place where we could worship Him. This placed us in a posture of worship. He took us out of the world that He created us in, and placed us in Eden which is the world He created for us so that we could worship Him. We could not worship Him from the world that we were created in because the seed of wickedness had been planted there as well and the earth was corrupt. God created a place that was unpolluted and free from corruption so that He could plant the seed of man there.

The only place you will be able to worship God is from a place that is free from pollution and free from corruption. My heart has to be free from pollution and free from corruption. God comes in and as the Psalmist David says, God creates in us a clean heart and He renews a right spirit in us Psalms 51:10. God gives us a new heart and He sends the Spirit of His Son to reside inside of us which then causes us to do right.

Ezekiel 11:19-20 says, 19. And I will give them one heart, and I will put a new spirit within you; and I will take the stony heart out of their flesh, and will give them a heart of flesh: 20. That they may walk in my statutes and keep mine ordinances, and do them: and they shall be my people, and I will be their God.

The pollution and the corruption of the old heart are gone when the old heart is removed.

2nd Corinthians 5:17 says. Therefore, if any man be in Christ, he is a new creature: old things are passed away; behold all things are become new.

All good farmers know that stones, thorns and thistles will hinder the progress and growth of a harvest. The Husbandman removes the stony heart and places a heart of flesh which is easily tilled and penetrated. The seed is then planted there where there will be neither obstruction nor hindrance in the growth and quality of the harvest.

The Husbandman knows that a stony heart would cause problems in the growth and the productivity of the seed. Before He even begins to place any seed into the ground, He goes out and removes all the stony places.

That’s what God does for us before the seed of Christ can be planted into the heart of a man. He has to harden not his heart. God has to circumcise, or till the heart before planting The Seed That Fail from The Masters Hand who is Jesus Christ.

Hebrews 4:7 says, Again, he limiteth a certain day, saying in David, To day, after so long a time; as it is said, Today if ye will hear his voice, harden not your hearts. In other words, prepare ye the way says John the Baptist. Jesus says I stand at the door and knock, if any man hears my voice and open the door, The Seed That Fail from The Masters Hand will be placed in the soil of your heart.

Earth Movers

In the military there is a group of soldiers and their job title is engineers but they have nicknamed themselves {Earth Movers} because they move dirt or earth around to make bunkers and berms to protect the soldiers from the enemy. Before a farmer or a gardener can or will plant a seed, they have to move the earth around so they can send or plant the seed in the earth. God had to move the earth around before He could plant or send His seed to the earth. Galatians 4:4 says, in the fullness of time after the earth had been moved around God sent His son. But something has to first be done to the ground before the seed can be planted, it has to be tilled and cultivated and then the seed is sent or planted in the ground or earth. And so, I would like to speak to you about the seed that God our heavenly Father the Husbandman planted or sent into the earth.

The Master

Let us establish who the master is. He is God. Jehovah the self existing and eternal God. He is the, in the beginning God of Genesis 1:1 who created the heavens and the earth. If He is the God who created the heavens and the earth, that also means then that He is the God who was and is before there was a when and a where. John 17:5. He is the God who said let there be and there was. Genesis 1:3 let there be Light, Genesis 1:6 Let there be a Firmament, Genesis 1:9 Let there be waters gathered in one place. Genesis 1:14-19 God said Let there be, Genesis 1: 20-23, God said Let there be, Genesis 1:24-25 God said Let there be. Genesis 1:26. God said Let there be. But He’s also the God who told man to let it be in Genesis 2:15-17.

He is the God that Romans 1:20 speaks about, He is the God who Hebrews 1:3 speaks about.

He’s the God whose ways are passed finding out Romans 11:33, He’s the God whose ways are
