Next time you see an acorn on the ground,<br>hold it up and look at the oak tree it came from, because there\u2019s another oak tree just like that one lying<br>dormant inside that tiny acorn. It may take years for it to look like the oak it came from, yet, that acorn<br>is a mighty oak tree waiting to happen! Once it\u2019s planted it will reproduce the very life it was given by<br>the oak tree.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Jesus talked about the Word of God and likened it to seed. In fact, the scriptures refer to Jesus<br>as the Seed of Abraham. Jesus was the Seed who came from the spiritual Tree of God\u2019s Covenant<br>Promise to Abraham. Like an acorn that carries in itself the very life of the oak tree it came from,<br>Jesus carried the life of the Father in Himself. That\u2019s what Jesus meant when He said, \u201cBelieve<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>me that I am in the Father, and the Father in me\u2026\u201d John 14:11<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I John 4:17 says, \u201c\u2026as He (Jesus), is so are we in this world.\u201d We too have inherited the Life of<br>God when we were born again! The more we meditate on His Word, the more we water that seed<br>of Eternal Life that was planted in our hearts, the more light and revelation we will receive!<br>That\u2019s when we will begin declaring our new identity in Christ as a new creations, and the Life of<br>God will manifest as it did in Jesus\u2019 life and ministry. \u201cFor the life was manifested, and we have<br>seen it, and bear witness, and show unto you that eternal life, which was with the Father, and was manifested unto us!\u201d I John 1:2<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>With Love,<br>Pastor Tom<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Kingdom Business is Eternal, as are the rewards that come from God.
