PHANEROO~DEVOTION 9th November 2015 SEED AND BREAD Apostle Grace Lubega

[Isaiah 55:10]; For as the rain cometh down and the snow from the heaven and returneth not thither but watereth the earth and maketh it bring forth and bud that it may give seed to the sower and bread to the eater.

God doesn't give us bread to sow, he gives us bread to eat and seed to sow.  When Luke says that the seed is the word of God, he is representing what ought to come in us, for us to receive.

Being a conduit of what God is doing for men through me is different from me understanding what he is supposed to be doing in me in particular. That is the bread. For example, I can pray for sick people and they get healed.  That does not presuppose that because I prayed for a sick man then sickness will fear the person who prayed for a sick man.

We have seen instances where men have prayed for the sick and the sick are healed but those men die of disease. That man carries the seed, the seed of healing but he needs something that can minister to him much deeper than what he can do in the lives of men or what God intends to do through him to men in the ministry. That is the bread to the eater.

The seed is sown by the minister or the preacher. There are things God has worked in us to release to men but those things may not directly have an effect on us. What has an effect on us is bread which is doctrine. This is the doctrine of Christ. It is him teaching us himself.

For example, Paul gets to people who were baptized and asked if they had received the Holy Ghost. When they said no, he laid hands on them and they received the Holy Spirit. That is not Paul's present need. It is seed to them but not bread to him. What is bread to him? Paul is seeking for higher things in God. He is forgetting all things that are past and pressing on to the high calling. To Paul, what is bread is not bread to them because their need is what is already in Paul as seed to give them.

Therefore, there is a point when I need the seed in my life for the sake of men to minister to. However, I do not grow by seed to men.
