Interesting we are being brought back to the Garden. In Genesis mankind was instructed to tend, guard, and keep the garden with no sweat. The assignment was given and only required obedience. Those who know the story regarding Adam and Eve and their disobedience (Genesis chapters 1-3) know how SIN separated mankind from God and the results among many begat no more relationship.

The relationship with God was broken, could no longer fellowship or communicate directly with him and for generations God only spoke through his prophets and appointed vessels. Until the fullness of time when Jesus arrived, walked and demonstrated obedience was mankind brought back into fellowship with God.

Back to the garden for a moment. Before sin, God provided everything that mankind would need and given dominance of every living thing. The food (fruit and herbs) the animals had seeds within to reproduce as well as the Man and Woman he created. The assignment given was to be  fruitful, multiply and replenish, subdue, and have dominion on the earth.

When one plants a garden, the soil has to be prepared, seeds must be placed in as well as watered and some need full sunlight while others need little. We discover there is a certain seasons that plants and fruits should be placed in the ground and experienced gardeners know how to tend and ward off insects that many eat up the seedlings or hinder its growth. To even give deeper it’s the soil, planter pots, watering and sunshine that assists in getting the full harvest.

Let’s just line up this God-given process up with his Word.

The Word of God is an incorruptible seed (1 Peter 1:23-25 AMP) and when:

- it is placed in the right soil (purified heart) of a person,

- watered properly,

-placed in the correct about of sun for that particular plant,

-and tended to, guarded and kept it will produce the harvest expected.
