Don't Eat All The Seed

Don't Eat All The Seed

You can count the number of seeds in an apple; but, you cannot count the number of apples in a seed.
A pastor once shared his encounter with one of his church members who needed a moderately large amount of money to start a business. The woman in question walked into his office on this particular day, all decked up in an outfit with accessories only fit for a "big man's" party. 
The pastor listened attentively to her lamentations, how she had tried to borrow from individuals without success and even banks would not hear her out, much less approve a loan for her.  When she was done speaking; the pastor did something unexpected.
He picked a pen off his table and a clean sheet of paper.  The woman thought the pastor wanted to write a recommendation for her and waited patiently. The pastor said "I hope madam, you would not mind answering few questions?" She registered her willingness to answer all of the questions the pastor intended to ask.
The pastor asked her how much the hairstyle, clothes and accessories she had on cost and she answered.  When he was done, the total sum of all she was dressed in was a whooping sum of three hundred and fifty thousand Naira (N350,000)! That was exact amount she needed to start her business.  The man of God, with a smile on his face; told her that she was wearing her investment.
You need to Recognise the Seed; Re-Invest the Seed and there is Re-Assurance of Dividend.  There is need for you to learn from the ants ("...which having no guide, overseer, or ruler, provideth her meat in the summer, and gathereth her food in the harvest.  ...a people not strong, yet they prepare their meat in the summer." - Proverbs 6:6-8; 30:25).  Realise that what you invest today is what you'll reap tomorrow. Sow something today and don't eat up all the seed! (extract from Christian Women Mirror - May 2013 Edition)
