Of Seed And Bread

Apostle Grace Lubega

2 Corinthians 9:10(KJV); Now may He who supplies seed to the sower, and bread for food, supply and multiply the seed you have sown and increase the fruits of your righteousness.

Bread keeps and preserves the life of men. Our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ declared that He is the Bread of Life(John 6:35).

However, not all bread gives divine life. As such, the Bible speaks of the bread that was eaten by those in the wilderness and says ‘Your fathers ate manna in the wilderness and are dead'(John 6:49).

Maturity in the Christian life requires that we be able to distinguish between bread that brings life and bread that brings destruction.

The first place of making this distinction is understanding the seed from which the bread comes. In our theme scripture, the Bible says that God gives seed to the sower and bread for food.

Not all bread comes from seed given by God. Some men have the right bread but the wrong seed.

What does this mean? They know how to speak, to articulate ideas and convince men but their message is not of God. With impressive oratory power, they advocate for moral perversion and promote liberties that are against sound biblical principles.

Christians end up mixing seed because sometimes the wrong bread convinces them that the seed is right.

Part of spiritual growth is the wisdom to know this difference.

PRAYER: Loving Father, I thank you for this Word. Thank you for the wisdom that discerns sound teaching. I do not mix seed simply because bread is well articulated. I receive seed in the knowledge that it is given by God. This understanding preserves me, to the glory of your name, Amen.
