With a fruitful harvest in mind, the divine seed, He plants.
Planted deep in the earth’s crust, it bursts forth in His likeness.
As a grain of wheat has many seeds, His seed multiplies.
Going forth in His likeness, the seed planted bursts forth.
In a powerful display of power, transformation emerges.
Born of the Spirit, His seed planted, hearts begin to produce.
As the seed takes root, new life springs forth bearing leaves.
Watering the seed with the Word, trees of righteousness appear.
As the planting takes shape, fruit bursts forth in abundance.
Faith to faith, spiritual growth is evidenced in Christlikeness.
Making no provision for the flesh, a new nature emerges.
As the new man in Christ emerges, the old disintegrates.
From glory to glory, Christ reveals Himself in those emerging.
Putting on the garments of the new man, the old are tossed.
Adding to the faith, virtue; knowledge produces self-control.
With godliness, kindness, and love in place, newness takes over.
Filled with power and authority, the new man emerges in fullness.
Knitted and joined together in Christlikeness, His body emerges.
Fully surrendered, embracing His cross, His body magnifies.
His seed multiplied; Christ appears in His glory through His body.
With His presence manifested, His Body harvests and gleans.
With signs and wonders filling the harvest fields, they reap.
As multitudes upon multitudes enter, they are transformed.
With many laborers praying into the harvest, much is gleaned.
With the harvest reaped, the coming of the Lord is prepared.
