Seeds & Soil Create Success<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Success. Everyone desires it.\u00a0 But what is success?\u00a0 Success is the accomplishment of a worthwhile goal or purpose.\u00a0 The reason so few are successful is because they don\u2019t have a goal or take time to consider their purpose.\u00a0 These folks wonder aimlessly through life being lead about by their current thoughts and emotions and react instead of creating.\u00a0 They go to their grave never enjoying what \u201ccould have been.\u201d<\/p>\n

We were created on purpose for a purpose.\u00a0 God is good, therefore what comes out from Him is ALWAYS good.\u00a0 You were on His mind long before He created you and He decided that your existence would be nothing short of amazing.\u00a0 He wants<\/em> you to succeed and fulfill the purpose He created you for.\u00a0 Therefore, it would be wise to come to ask Him why you are here and to discover the reason He brought you forth for such a time as this.<\/p>\n

I was born in a good home with awesome parents.\u00a0 They loved their four children and took good care of us.\u00a0 I am proud of my parents and the environment they provided.\u00a0\u00a0 My siblings and I are a testament of how great a job they did.\u00a0As good as my upbringing was, I never considered my purpose.\u00a0 I just lived.\u00a0 It wasn\u2019t until MANY years later that I pondered the question, \u201cWhy am I here?\u201d\u00a0 After all, every creation has purpose, shouldn\u2019t that include you and me?<\/p>\n

What I am about to share with you is vital.\u00a0 I have discovered that God has given us two things<\/em> that will reveal our purpose and bring massive success into our lives:\u00a0 Seed and Land.<\/p>\n

When God called Abram out of Ur of the Chaldeans He promised him two things.\u00a0 He promised Abram seed <\/strong>and his seed would be a blessing to all the nations.\u00a0 He also promised him a land<\/strong>, a vast land, that eventually was described as a land flowing with milk and honey.\u00a0 In other words, a land of abundance.\u00a0 (Refer to Genesis chapters 12-17)<\/p>\n

As it was with Abraham (formerly Abram), so it is with you.\u00a0 God has put within you a seed that will bless others.\u00a0 He has also given you a place to plant and cultivate that seed, so it will produce an abundant source of income for you, your family, and even generations to come.\u00a0 More on the \u201cplace\u201d later.<\/p>\n

As God communicated with Abraham so He will with you.\u00a0 God communicated with Abraham by His Word, a living Word.\u00a0 I am not exactly sure what that looked like then, but I know how it looks today.\u00a0 There are two methods of communication God primarily uses: \u00a0His WRITTEN Word and His INTANT SPOKEN Word.\u00a0 Today God speaks the later Word through the Holy Spirit.<\/p>\n

To discover the seed within you, you will need to listen for God to speak.\u00a0 Jesus said, \u201cMy sheep KNOW my voice. He is speaking to you all the time and maybe you just haven\u2019t been listening. \u00a0His voice is still and small (1 Kings 19:12).\u00a0 Seldom does He shout.\u00a0 He prefers to whisper.\u00a0 I like what our Pastor, Gary Keesee<\/a><\/span>, says, \u201cGod\u2019s voice sounds like ours with a twang.\u201d\u00a0 Therefore, you will need to get into a quiet state and relax.\u00a0 It also helps to mediate on His WRITTEN Word as well.\u00a0 Over time God will reveal to you your purpose (seed).\u00a0 When you discover the \u201cseed,\u201d it will begin to germinate and grow within you.\u00a0 That \u201cseed\u201d will excite you.\u00a0 You will find yourself gravitating toward the life coming forth from the \u201cseed\u201d growing within your heart.\u00a0 At this point I hope I haven\u2019t lost you, but in case I have let me give you an example.<\/p>\n

When I am with people, I find myself encouraging them.\u00a0 As I do, I come alive.\u00a0 I am animated and on fire!\u00a0 I love encouraging and motivating others.\u00a0 I just love it!\u00a0 I love seeing people inspired to do great things; to step out of their comfort zone.\u00a0 I love seeing people discover the greatness within them.\u00a0 I am excited just writing about this!\u00a0 Therefore, my purpose has to do with helping others through teaching, encouragement, motivation, and inspiration.\u00a0 That is why I felt the need to write.\u00a0 The problem is I am not a great writer (yet) and I make a lot of mistakes and that held me back.\u00a0 But I am determined to not let anything hold me back.\u00a0 Why?\u00a0 I must<\/u> fulfill my purpose. God put me here to bring hope, inspire, and encourage others to be and have all they want and desire.\u00a0 That is my \u201cseed.\u201d\u00a0 God wants me to tell others of His goodness and His will for them to prosper and be in good health.\u00a0 When I do, I am planting MY SEED into the LAND, the PEOPLE God has placed in my life.\u00a0 Right now, my \u201cland\u201d is YOU!<\/p>\n

I have friend named Christopher Mitchell.<\/a><\/span>\u00a0 He is a body builder.\u00a0 He loves body building and has done it for over a couple of decades now.\u00a0 He is very good at it.\u00a0 However, Christopher pursued other things to create the wealth he desired.\u00a0 He did a lot of network marketing, though successful, he became frustrated by having to build teams.\u00a0 I call that pushing rope up a hill, because motivating people to build businesses is not an easy task! \u00a0(Note:\u00a0 network marking is an amazing business model, but it doesn\u2019t fit the purpose or calling of God for many.\u00a0 It\u2019s a matter of finding those who are called to do that work).<\/p>\n

One day, as Christopher was banging on his computer (typing) he heard from the Lord.\u00a0 The Spirit said, \u201cWrite a book.\u201d\u00a0 So, in obedience, Christopher starting writing and had the book finished in 3 hours!\u00a0 To make a long story short, Christopher has written 7 books as of this writing.\u00a0 He LOVES it!\u00a0 He NEVER wrote a book in his life prior to this time.\u00a0 Before he struggled and was banging his head against a wall trying to get to where he knew in his heart God wanted him to be.\u00a0 Now he is writing and knowledge is flowing from him.\u00a0 He is working harder than ever before, but it\u2019s work that energizes him.\u00a0 He is even teaching others to write! \u00a0Is the \u201cseed\u201d is to write and his \u201cland\u201d is the World Wide Web where lots of people are search for the kind of knowledge that he is sharing through his books. \u00a0\u00a0He is also helping others and teaching then to do what he is learning.<\/p>\n

For me, my \u201cland\u201d is my small group where I teach success principles.\u00a0 To me my \u201cland\u201d is this blog and my You Tube channel where I will eventually others around the world.\u00a0 To me, my land is the people I meet who need my seed for their development, encouragement, and growth.\u00a0 Sometimes I even find them in a local Starbucks!<\/p>\n

The seed is always related to and for our service to others.\u00a0 God told Abraham that his seed would bless all the nations (others).\u00a0 The seed God gives us must be to bless others.\u00a0 The seed needs land and that land is people.\u00a0 The place where we must sow our seed is in the lives of others.\u00a0 My friend, your purpose is FOR others.\u00a0 Your \u201cseed\u201d is to plant into the lives of others what you have been assigned to.<\/p>\n

So, what is your purpose?\u00a0 Why are you here?\u00a0 What \u201cseed\u201d has God given you?\u00a0 Where is the specific land (people) you are to sow your seed (gifting or talents)?\u00a0 The types of seeds are limitless and you have possession of a seed that is unique to you!<\/p>\n

Now, I hear what you\u2019re thinking, \u201cWhat am I here for?\u00a0 How do I find out?\u201d\u00a0 Here is what Jesus said, \u201cKeep asking, and it will be given to you. Keep searching, and you will find.\u00a0 Keep knocking and the door will be opened to you (Matthew 7:7-8) James 4:2 says, \u201cYou desire and do not have\u2026you do not have because you do not ask.\u201d\u00a0 John says in 1 John 2:27 that \u201cThe anointing you have received remains in you, and you don\u2019t need anyone to teach you.\u00a0 Instead, the anointing teaches you all about ALL THINGS and is true and is not a lie; just as He has taught you, remain in Him.\u201d<\/p>\n

The truth is, you will have what you seek<\/strong>.\u00a0 The truth is, you might already know the answer.\u00a0 You just might be fearful to venture out into your \u201cGood Land\u201d and plant the \u201cseed\u201d within you.\u00a0 Fear is a topic for another time.\u00a0 The purpose of this writing is to get you started; to get those juices flowing.\u00a0 I want you to begin the process of discovery and take some action.\u00a0 Action with mistakes is better than no action at all.\u00a0 If you step up to the plate and just swing the bat, you will do what 95% of the population will never do.\u00a0 The 95% will go to their graves never planting the seed within them and wasting the land around them.\u00a0 Don\u2019t let that be you!<\/p>\n
