Life is not a struggle; it’s not God’s will that your needs are not met and your heart’s desires are not fulfilled. He wants every one of His children to enjoy the abundance of His resources, and have much more to bless others with. God has set different principles on earth for us to operate and have our needs met. Unfortunately, many of God’s people are oblivious to these principles, while some others work them against themselves. One of such principles is the principle of ‘Seed Faith.’
Oral Roberts got a beautiful revelation of this principle through a member of his congregation who was a wheat farmer. During the time of the great depression, things had gone bad with his business. At the same time, Pastor Roberts was in great need of a house and the church was raising money to buy a new one. After observing that Brother Roberts gave towards meeting his own need, this farmer came knocking on his door and woke Oral up in the middle of a cold night to hand him all his life savings. He got his miracle from his seed-faith. This was how Oral Roberts began teaching on the principle of Seed Faith.
The Seed-Faith principle is the application of your faith according to the operation of the life of a seed. The seed has the life-giving ability in it that causes it to reproduce. It also has the ability of reproducing after its own kind. Whatever the need in your life – whether money, a job or a car, it makes no difference – you can operate this principle to have that need met. So you see, the seed is the main factor in the situation you’re in.
Put your faith to work by sowing a seed. Give expression to your faith! Remember, the Bible says, “If you wait for perfect conditions, you will never get anything done” (Ecclesiastes 11:4 TLB). Plant a seed for that need today and continue to water it with your confession of God’s Word. Expect a mighty harvest and you will not be disappointed.
