Does the word 'Seed' refer to 'Money' in the Scriptures?
'Seed' always refers to the 'Word Of GOD' in the Scriptures.
Soil refers to the heart where the seed of the Word is sown.
The seed sown on good soil grows and bears fruit.
The degree of fruitfulness depends on the condition of the soil.
This refers To the attitude and motive of the heart.
Fruit refers to the fruit of the Spirit.
The fruit of the Spirit is Love, Joy, Peace, Patience, Gentleness, Goodness, Faith, Meekness, Self control.
These are 9 aspects of the fruit of the Spirit of God that should be seen in us as GOD'S people.
These are 9 attitudes displayed by a heart filled with GOD'S love.
The seeds from the fruit are the actions that follow the attitude of the heart.
Such seed are service to GOD and others, gestures of kindness, reaching out to those in need, giving to the needy and so on.
The actions refer to spiritual sowing which results in fruits of righteousness not only in the sower, but also in those who receive, through many thanksgivings to GOD.
"The sower sows the word.
"And these are the ones by the wayside where the word is sown.
When they hear, Satan comes immediately
and takes away the word that was sown in their hearts.
"These likewise are the ones sown on stony ground who,
when they hear the word, immediately receive it with gladness;
"and they have no root in themselves, and so endure only for a time. Afterward, when tribulation or persecution arises
for the word's sake, immediately they stumble.
"Now these are the ones sown among thorns;
they are the ones who hear the word,
"and the cares of this world, the deceitfulness of riches,
and the desires for other things entering in choke the word,
and it becomes unfruitful.
"But these are the ones sown on good ground,
those who hear the word, accept it, and bear fruit:
some thirtyfold, some sixty, and some a hundred."
Mark 4:14-20
But the fruit of the Spirit is
love, joy, peace,
longsuffering, kindness, goodness,
faithfulness, gentleness, self-control.
Against such there is no law.
Galatians 5:22-23
But this I say: He who sows sparingly will also reap sparingly,
and he who sows bountifully will also reap bountifully.
So let each one give as he purposes in his heart,
not grudgingly or of necessity; for God loves a cheerful giver.
And God is able to make all grace abound toward you,
that you, always having all sufficiency in all things,
may have an abundance for every good work.
As it is written: "He has dispersed abroad, He has given to the poor;
His righteousness endures forever."
Now may He who supplies seed to the sower, and bread for food,
supply and multiply the seed you have sown
and increase the fruits of your righteousness,
while you are enriched in everything for all liberality,
which causes thanksgiving through us to God.
For the administration of this service not only supplies the needs of the saints, but also is abounding through many thanksgivings to God,
while, through the proof of this ministry,
they glorify God for the obedience of your confession to the gospel of Christ, and for your liberal sharing with them and all men,
and by their prayer for you,
who long for you because of the exceeding grace of God in you.
Thanks be to God for His indescribable gift!
2 Corinthians 9:6-15
