Is there hope in the fentanyl crisis?

Seed time Harvest

The image above is a picture of seed that fell from a raspberry tree in the back of the office building where I work .

I swept the parking lot three different times, and within a matter of hours, the parking was full of freshly dropped raspberries. There is a large number of raspberries lying on the cement and the ground.

We learned from yesterday’s article that seed transmits life and carries the blueprint of the fruit it was created to reproduce.

We learned that Seed reproduces on an infinite scale. One seed can produce a fruit tree carrying trillions and trillions of seed.

God gave Abraham and Sarah a seed, a son named Isaac, when he was 99 years old and she was 90 years old. God said to them,

“And he brought him forth abroad, and said, Look now toward heaven, and tell the stars, if thou be able to number them: and he said unto him, So shall thy SEED be.” Genesis 15:5

In Genesis 22:15-18, God made a sworn oath promise to bless Abraham and to multiply his SEED as the stars of heaven and as the sand is on the seashore. God said Abraham’s seed would possess the gate of his enemies.

The Seed

“Now to Abraham and HIS SEED were the promises made. He saith not, And to seeds, as of many; but as of one, And to thy SEED, which is Christ.” Galatians 3:16

If you belong to Christ, then you are Abraham’s seed and heirs according to the promise, Galatians 3:20

Galatians 4:28, “NOW we, brethren, as Isaac was, are children of the promise.”

What nobody knew then, God injected himself into the human through the virgin birth of Jesus Christ. God fulfilled the prophetic promise given to Eve. The seed of the woman shall crush the serpent’s head in Genesis 3:15.

What we could not see then, God would recreate himself in man through the new birth, the new creation.

“If any man be in Christ, he is a new creature: old things have passed away; behold, all things are become new.” 2 Corinthians 5:7

Remember, the characteristics of seed. Seed is a blueprint that transmits life (Genesis 1:12, bear fruit after its kind). Seed is also a container used to transmit life (Genesis 1:12, whose seed is in itself).

Remember also, God planted every tree that was pleasant to the sight and good for food in the Garden of Eden. The trees planted were for beauty and utility.

“WHOSOEVER is born of God doth not commit sin; for his seed remaineth in him: and he cannot sin, because he is born of God.” 1 John 3:9

The Seed, Jesus Christ, through faith in him, God is reproducing both the image and likeness of himself through the fruit of the Spirit and the gifts of the Spirit. See John 1:12-13.

So what about the fentanyl crisis 🤔

There are billions of seeds created in the image and likeness of God just waiting to be sown and reaped.

Remember the parable, “the sower sows the word?” Located in Matthew 13:1-43, Mark 4:3-34 and Luke 8:4-15. The SEED, the Word keep in a good and honest heart brings forth 30, 60, and 100 fold more than was sown.

Join me in prayer. Let’s believe God together that a great harvest of souls will be reaped out of the fentanyl crisis. Sow a seed of prayer and reap a harvest of life in your own life.

Commit to praying at least 30 to 60 minutes a day for people addicted to Fentanyl.

Grace & peace!
