We all have a purpose in mind, a dream for our future.

All of God’s intentions HAPPEN.

Psalm 33:11 NIV — "But the plans of the Lord stand firm forever, the purposes of his heart through all generations."

For every purpose of God, His strategy is the seed!

Never underestimate the power of a seed. God didn’t. When his kingdom was ravaged and his people had forgotten his name, he planted his seed. When the soil of the human heart had grown crusty, he planted his seed. When religion had become a ritual and the temple a trading post, he planted his seed. Want to see a miracle? Watch him as he places the seed of his own self in the fertile womb of a Jewish girl. Up it grew, “like a tender green shoot, sprouting from a root in dry and sterile ground.” The seeds spent a lifetime pushing back the stones that tried to keep it underground. The seed made a ministry out of shoving away the rocks that cluttered his Father’s soil. The stones of legalism that burdened backs. The stones of oppression that broke bones. The stones of prejudice that fenced out the needy. But it was the final stone that proved to be the supreme test of the seed. The stone of death—rolled by humans and sealed by Satan in front of the tomb. For a moment it appeared the seed would be stuck in the earth. For a moment, it looked like this rock was too big to be budged.But then, somewhere in the heart of the earth, the seed of God stirred, shoved, and sprouted. The ground trembled, and the rock of the tomb tumbled. And the flower of Easter blossomed. Never underestimate the power of a seed. - Max Lucado

WHEN YOU UNDERSTAND THE POWER OF A SEED, IT WILL CHANGE YOUR DESTINY.

To fulfill your purpose, you must be strategic in the following areas:

1. The power of strategic SEED

• You are producing seed all the time; you must be strategic about the kind of seed you are sowing.
• Good seed produces good fruit; it produces after like kind.
• The seed is your WORDS.
• The seed is your EXAMPLE.
• The seed is your SACRIFICE.
• The seed is YOU!
• Jesus is the seed of God!

2. The power of strategic SOIL

• You can have great seed, but if it isn’t planted in the right ground, it is worthless.
• PLANT YOUR LIFE IN GOOD SOIL.
  • Strategic friends, family, church, job, city
  • The big question is, WHERE ARE YOU PLANTING “YOU”?
• YOU ARE THE SOIL. Allow God to plant in you His seed-the Word, His Spirit.
• THE SPIRIT IS THE SOIL.
  • Galatians 6:8 NKJV — For he who sows to his flesh will of the flesh reap corruption, but he who sows to the Spirit will of the Spirit reap everlasting life.
• THE GRAVE IS THE SOIL.

3. The power of strategic STEWARDSHIP

• GOOD SEED IN GOOD SOIL WITHOUT GOOD STEWARDSHIP IS IRRESPONSIBLE.
• Jesus knew that He could not leave His harvest.
• John 14:16, 18 NLT — 16 And I will ask the Father, and he will give you another Advocate, who will never leave you... . 18 No, I will not abandon you as orphans—I will come to you.

4. The power of strategic HARVEST

• The RIGHT Seed in the RIGHT Soil with the right STEWARDSHIP will bring a GREAT HARVEST.
• Jesus was the right seed, the grave was the right soil, the Holy Spirit is still working in us, and we are the right harvest!

John 12:23–24 NLT — 23 Jesus replied, “Now the time has come for the Son of Man to enter into his glory. 24 I tell you the truth, unless a kernel of wheat is planted in the soil and dies, it remains alone. But its death will produce many new kernels—a plentiful harvest of new lives.
