“And Jesus answered them, “The hour has come for the Son of Man to be glorified and exalted. I assure you and most solemnly say to you, unless a grain of wheat falls into the earth and dies, it remains alone [just one grain, never more]. But if it dies, it produces much grain and yields a harvest. The one who loves his life [eventually] loses it [through death], but the one who hates his life in this world [and is concerned with pleasing God] will keep it for life eternal. If any one serves Me, he must [continue to faithfully] follow Me [without hesitation, holding steadfastly to Me, conforming to My example in living and, if need be, suffering or perhaps dying because of faith in Me]; and wherever I am [in heaven’s glory], there will My servant be also. If anyone serves Me, the Father will honor him.“ ( John 12:23-26) AMP.

In our text the Lord gave us the nuggets for growth and multiplication which is very important , Everything God created that has life has the potential to grow and multiply. If have for example a seed of a corn , it has to be planted in a good and watered , that single seed has to die in the ground before a new plant will grow and produce more curds of corn .

The same way our Lord needed to die for the sin of the whole world without sin and resurrected to a new life to produce a new species of beings of the same kind that will multiply and fill the earth with the glory of God as the water covers the sea.
Beloved if you must grow in your walk with the Lord ,you must die to the works of flesh and take up the responsibility of going through the pain of living the life of denial and some times the life of rejection . If you truly want to please the Lord and manifest His glory in your life and be able to draw others to Christ .

Remember it was after the resurrection and the ascension of the Lord that the Holy Spirit was given ,that Peter preached the gospel three thousand souls was won and so the church began to grow in wisdom and numbers and believers have covered the earth with persecutions , rejection and death. But the more they try to stop us the more we grow and multiply as the sand covers the earth This same principles works for every thing, if you want to be loved more sow love , if want to see God’s glory and power sow time in studying the scriptures and apply it in your daily living . If you to see multiplication in your finances you must give your tithe and offerings, give to yours pastors , give to projects in your local church,give to widows, orphans and the less privileged once in your community and so shall God prosper your finances and cause you to enjoy all round prosperity and this applies to all areas of life . The life in general is all about sowing and reaping . Friend start today and make intentional decisions and choice with the mind set of sowing righteous seed in the lives of others as you please the Lord every day , your life will become a wonder to this generation.
