Jesus Christ is the same yesterday and today and forever. - Hebrews 13:8
A man wanted to make an investment. An
idea struck him: "Why don't I plant a small mango sapling and enjoy the
benefits when it grows into a big tree?" So he went to the market,
bought a small sapling and took it home. To the pride of his family, he
planted it in the center of his garden.
He read everything about raising a mango tree. He got up early every
morning, for he was determined to supply the sapling with all the
necessary nutrients. He watered it, he supplied it with manure, and he
took good care of its leaves by removing those that withered. He made
sure the sapling received ample care.
Many times he sat and admired the beauty of the growing tree while
dreaming about the tasty mangoes that the tree would bear. His mind was
always filled with the wish to taste the first fruit of the tree.
Years rolled by... now, he had a big tree... glorious... with its
leaves shining and healthy, its bark healthy and hard. It was a big
attraction because it decorated his whole garden.
Then one day he noticed a small bud, which in a couple of days bloomed
into a beautiful flower. Now he could hardly wait for the fruit so he
started to increase his supply of nutrients and care. Then one day the
tree let out its first product - a small green fruit. The man was so
happy.
He waited for a few more weeks till the fruit grew in size. The day came
when he decided to taste the first fruit of the tree. He climbed the
tree, plucked the fruit and then came his disappointment. The fruit
that he plucked from the tree was not like what he expected. It was
hard, big and round. He was baffled. He was sad.
Seeing this, his neighbours came and asked him what happened. He told
them that the fruit from his tree was not what he wanted. When the
neighbours heard this, they did not know whether to laugh or console him
for what he planted years ago was a guava sapling.
So we need to sow the right seed in order to see the right fruit. If you sow bad you will reap bad if your
sow good you will reap good. Are you sowing a good seed?
Being born again, not of corruptible seed, but of incorruptible, by the word of God, which liveth and abideth for ever. - 1 Peter 1:23
