READ: Genesis 1:9-12
“And the earth brought forth…and God saw that it was good” Genesis 1:12
Sowing seeds makes people rich because seeds are God’s creation to provide wealth in the earth. God is the inventor of seeds.
“And God said, Let the earth bring forth grass, the herb yielding seed, and the fruit tree yielding fruit after his kind, whose seed is in itself, upon the earth: and it was so” (Genesis 1:11).
God’s creation is loaded with seeds. God created living things to have seeds within them. These seeds are the oldest source of wealth in the world. Anyone who needs corn just has to plant some seeds and he will have the harvest of corn with its resultant wealth. Seed planting is therefore the basis of God’s continued provision of wealth for us.
Next time you are flying across the rich western world, make sure you look out of the window. You will notice that the fields are divided into squares and rectangles. This picture of squares and rectangles is the picture you get by looking at rich European countries who have planted seeds on every available space. However, when you fly over poor undeveloped countries, you will notice that there are no such squares and rectangles. This is because the land has been left largely unused. There is a lot of bush, savannah and unused virgin forest. The rich get richer because they planted many seeds. The poor get poorer because they have not planted anything. How can poor countries expect to have rice when they have planted no rice?
