Matthew 6:33 ‘But seek ye first the kingdom of God, and his righteousness; and all these things shall be added unto you. –
DAILY READING Matthew 19:1-15; Numbers 9-10; Ecclesiastes 7
Deep in the bowels of an icy mountain on an island in Norway lies a resource of vital importance for the future of humankind. It’s not coal, oil or precious minerals, but seeds.
Millions of these tiny brown specks, from more than 930,000 varieties of food crops, are stored in the Global Seed Vault. This is essentially a huge safety deposit box, holding the world’s largest collection of agricultural biodiversity.
The Global Seed Vault has been dubbed the “doomsday” vault. It is believed to be a place that will preserve seeds for use in case of an apocalyptic event or a global catastrophe. It also helps preserve seeds against much smaller, localized destruction and threats facing gene banks all over the world.
It has samples of seed deposited from all over the world.
This seed vault aimed at preserving plant species from total extinction, has been dug deep in the permafrost of a remote mountain, which is located 620 miles from the North Pole.
This vault can store up to 4.5 million seed samples. It’s a backup to the world’s other 1,400 seed banks. The seeds kept there are preserved by the coldness of the North pole from corruption.
It is important to preserve these seeds because once they are corrupted and destroyed they become extinct and never to be seen again.
While physical seeds are corruptible, and have need for preservation, the incorruptible seed of the Word of God abides forever.
The seed of the Word is a seed which we never have to bother about its preservation, because it will never decay, disappear or grow extinct. While the unpreserved seeds of the world may be disappearing, the seed of the Word of God abides forever.
And most importantly when this seed of the Word is in us it also keeps us from corruption. The seed of the Word within us is a preserver of life and destiny. Just as The Word is incorruptible and indestructible when you are full of The Word you also become incorruptible and indestructible.
The incorruptible seed of the Word in you, keeps you from decaying, or descending into sin.
Psalm 119:11 says ‘Thy word have I hid in mine heart, that I might not sin against thee.’
The seed of The Word of God inside of us keeps us from sin.
1 John 3:9 says ‘Whosoever is born of God doth not commit sin; for his seed remaineth in him: and he cannot sin, because he is born of God.’
Do you therefore want to overcome sinful habits, then begin to store up the Word of God in your heart. Every struggle with sin will come to an end when the incorruptible seed of God’s Word dominates your heart. When you are filled with the Word, you will find that you lose the desire for sin. New strength will enter into you. The divine incorruptible nature of Christ will swallow up your weak and carnal tendencies. Mortality will be swallowed up by immortality and you will find yourself living an incorruptible life of purity and holiness.
PRAYER: Lord, By Your word I am preserved from corruption. I shall never be contaminated by the evil in the world. By Your Word at work in me, I am more than a conqueror in Jesus Name. .. ..
