The Lord asked at the beginning of the class,
Do you know how a seed sprouts?
(I was going blank in my mind)
The Lord spoke,
Sprouting is a process in which the growth of life becomes visible.
It is the process of birthing to a new cycle. The seed germinates when it is first in touch with water. Water triggers the release of growth hormone inside the seed. Once the seed germinates, it grows both the root and shoot. Roots absorb nutrients from the soil while shoots to absorb light. Air passes through the whole body to make it alive.
Effective sprouting is important to produce a good fruit plant. We, as humans, cannot force anything to grow. Even we provide the essential elements, it is God who decides life or death and thus makes it grow. Not by the good deeds of humans but the decision of the Lord.
Testimony
This reminded me of a funny incident when I first planted carrot about 4 weeks ago. I started off with 2 carrot heads. Both began to sprout. I brought one to my room and allow it to listen to worship songs - hoping to make it grow better. In fact, the outcome was completely the opposite. The one that listened to music stopped growing while the other one grew a lot. One evening, I asked God why did it happen like that. God spoke to me, it is not by any works and good deeds by human that can make His creation grow - only He the creator is in charge of life or death and only He can make it grow. I repented and God asked me to bless the plant again in His name and He will make it grow. So I did. The next morning when I woke up, I saw the plant indeed grew again! Praise the Lord!
1 Corinthians 3:6
6 I planted, Apollos watered, but God [all the while] was making it grow and [He] gave the increase.
The Lord continued to speak,
Being God's steward for His garden, all we have to do is follow what God teaches us and bless the plant in His name. God said He already blessed His creation when He first created them. So when we do it is simply agreeing on the will of His heart.
God reminded me to mark down the time whenever the plant enters a new cycle and keeps track of the dates.
I asked the Lord, do plants sprout by different seasons?
The Lord answered I shall allow His Spirit to teach me on this topic.
The Lord added,
Seed sowing is full of wisdom. Not all species can grow at the same time. Most seeds prefer a warm and humid environment. This is why glasshouse exists.
Sprouting from seeds is easy but finding a good seed is difficult.
However, the point is not about finding the pure seed but to maintain and take care of the growing cycle of each plant. Holy Spirit is powerful enough to cleanse the DNA of the seed. Bless the seed in His name and see what happens.
This is Day 4.
My heart is full of doubt and feeling puzzled after the class.
