Stat! Make A Difference

STAT! WHAT DIFFERENCE CAN ONE PERSON BE? --- UN-PLANTED SEEDS?

By Wade Martin Hughes, Sr.

2 Timothy 3:1 This know also, that in the last days perilous times shall come.

* STAT: Have you ever been in a hospital and heard: CODE BLUE: STAT? STAT COMES FROM A TERM STATIM. Statim means immediate, without delay. At once, right away.

*URGENT: needs immediate attention or action, compelling, pressing, critical.

*UNITY: united, joined, together, whole, agreement, harmony.

I have about 50 seeds sitting on top of the coat rack at church. They have been there a long time. Someone will lay a seed by the others. This week after I finished my prayer time I was looking over all the seeds. (Peach, plum, cherry, tomato, etc.) I have looked over these for years. This day I SAW THE SEEDS AS NEVER BEFORE WITH THE THOUGHT: UN-PLANTED SEEDS BEAR NO FRUIT…

COME LET US REASON TOGETHER THAT GOD HAS A PLAN AND A PURPOSE… WE MUST MAKE A PRIORITY IDEA THAT GOD HAS ORDERED THE EVENTS OF OUR LIVES FOR A GREATER PURPOSE THAN WE HAVE EXPECTED.

We have to refuse complicity and apathy. God needs people. People need God. God can accomplish his goals with or without us. He does not need us, but it is God’s desire to trust his people in UNITY WITH HIM. By depending on THE WORD, PRAYER and FASTING at how serious the times that we live in can be… We need to come together in solidarity of love and unity.

Esther 4:14 For if thou altogether holdest thy peace at this time, then shall there enlargement and deliverance arise to the Jews from another place; but thou and thy father's house shall be destroyed: and who knoweth whether thou art come to the kingdom for such a time as this?

Esther 4:14 (MSG) If you persist in staying silent at a time like this, help and deliverance will arrive for the Jews from someplace else; but you and your family will be wiped out. Who knows? Maybe you were made queen for just such a time as this."

ESTHER HAD CLAIMED THE LADDER OF SUCCESS. To allow the purpose of God to be accomplished in her life and stand for God’s people could be RISKY BUSINESS. Her focus could have been self-centered and self-indulgent.

MORDECAI CARRIES A GREAT CONCERN AND BURDEN AS HE HAS SEEN THE REVELATION AND TRUE SIDE OF HAMAN… HOW EASY IS IT TO MISS OUR OPPORTUNITY AND GOD GIVEN ASSIGNMENTS?

This assignment is greater than MORDECAI and greater than ESTHER. The enemy’s design is if he can destroy the SEED OF GOD’S LINE he can stop the birth of JESUS CHRIST and trap people for eternity, forever doomed.

CAN I MAKE A DIFFERENCE?

Jude 1:22 And of some have compassion, making a difference:

I WAS IN THE SIXTH GRADE IN CLARMONT COUNTY, OHIO. Spring rolled around. Dad prepared the garden and we were planting seeds. Dad had saved a brown paper bag of CORN SEEDS from last year. Dad had a string and two sticks and he would draw a straight line and with a hand plow he laid off the rows. It was my job to lay the seeds in the ground spaced two hand widths apart. He made several rows and I would plant the seeds then cover them up. Mom yelled and called dad to come… Dad received a call that a church member was being rushed to the hospital. Dad gave me the hand plow and said: WHEN YOU FINISH A ROW, MAKE ANOTHER AND PLANT ALL OF THE SEEDS. I made a row, planted the seeds. I made another row and another. Seemed to me there was more seeds in the paper bag than when I started. I asked Jesus was he multiplying the seeds? I made another row and I said that was enough. I took the HOE and dug a hole and dropped the brown paper bag in the ground and covered it up. Then I ran in to watch Gilligan’s Island. When dad got home he asked me how many rows did the corn seeds make? I said: 5, I PLANTED FIVE ROWS. Dad said there should have been at least 20 rows. I said: DAD, TRUST ME, I PLANTED EVERY CORN SEED IN THE GROUND.

One evening dad came home and walked out into the garden and he stood there and looked at the plants that were growing. He came in the parsonage and he was angry. He grabbed me by the neck and drug me to the garden. He said 5 rows? He pointed to a spot and there was 10 million little green blades TESTIFYING AGAINST ME. He said sure they are all in the ground just like you said. I never dreamed that the corn seeds would tell on me.
