Second Law: A Seed Has No Power Until It Is Planted.
If you have the seeds of the best fruits and you put them on the shelf, those seeds are powerless. All their potential remains locked up until the seeds are planted. Jesus said in John 12:24-25 “…I say to you, unless a grain of wheat falls into the ground and dies, it remains alone; but if it dies, it produces much grain. He who loves his life will lose it, and he who hates his life in this world will keep it for eternal life.” This is the secret of fulfilling your dreams and destiny. You have to be willing to die to your dreams in order to live that dream. It is the death that brings about the life. That is the process of multiplication and enlargement.
The question is, what do you need to do today to get where you want to be tomorrow? What seed do you need to plant today for the harvest you want to see tomorrow? Do you want to keep complaining, or do you want to pay the price and do the work that is required? It may just be possible that you think you are waiting on God for the next level when God is actually waiting on you. You have to make a move. God will do what only He can do, but God will not do what you can do. You have to do what you can do. There are things God will not do for you.
“Does a farmer always plow and never sow? Is he forever cultivating the soil and never planting? The farmer knows just what to do, for God has given him understanding“ (Isaiah 28:24, 26). I pray that God will give you understanding. You need to stop just ploughing and ploughing and start planting. Plant seeds in behaviour, speech, good character, and giving. Planting any kind of seed is an act of faith. Farmers just plant their seeds, believing they will grow. They know that inherent in the seed is the plant that they desire. Planting is an act of faith. Giving is an act of faith. Tithing is an act of faith.
Planting is for the “faith-fulls” - people who are full of faith. Planting any kind of seed is an act of faith. You must take that step. What is the need in your life? Whenever you have a need, plant a seed because there is a seed for every need. You have to be the one to plant the seed for your needs. God will not do that for you. But when you plant the seed, in time, God will bring the harvest.

About this Plan
Right from the beginning, in the creation story, God shows us a pattern which contains a huge lesson. And this lesson continues throughout the Bible. Jesus shows up on the scene and points to this same lesson. As long as heaven remains, seed time and harvest will continue. This plan focuses on seed, planting, and watering. A key principle of the kingdom of God and therefore, to every believer after God’s heart.
