Fresh Seed // Fresh Fruit (Part 5) // Michael Todd

Welcome to Transformation Church podcast, where we represent God to the lost and found

for transformation in Christ. We're so glad you're here and wherever you're listening from,

we believe God will transform your life. Do today's message. And so

today week five of a series we're calling somebody say fresh fruit. And today

today I've heard God to take a pivot from something we've done for nine years

straight and to do it differently. Usually at this time of year, we're

doing a finance series, a series on generosity and stewardship. And I was

like, God, do you want me to change the play because you told

me to speak this series called fresh Fruit? He said, no, no,

no, no, no, He said, the people have matured.

He said, they don't need six weeks, they need two. And I

said, hold on, God, but you know some of them is remedia

and some of them be again, Lord, that you really do own everything.

And I need to do five weeks. He said. This is a

test of their maturity. He said, children that you have to tell over

and over and over again the same thing have come to a place where they

don't respect the voice. He said. But there's some maturing believers, some

ones that want to be fruitful. He said that they don't need a revelation,

they need a reminder. And so today and next week, I'm gonna

give you a reminder of the power of generosity in stewardship, in a kingdom

life. And I am not actually gonna preach at you. I'm just gonna

remind you of what God's already proven to you, some of you on a

big scale, some of you on a small scale. But the only person

that gets to determine the scale is you. And so for the next two

weeks, I need everybody who has some type of is with people talking about

money in church. I need you to unclench your booty cheeks because I know

some of y'all just got tight. There will be no offerings, no second

offerings, no one hundred dollars lines. We actually gonna give stuff away.

We are a generous church. We give, just a give, and not

to get. And so I want to let you know that this is not

about getting anything from you. We don't have a building campaign, we're not

trying to repaint the parking lot, and ain't nothing wrong with all of any

of that. I'm just saying today, relax because I want you to get

the principle, because if you get the principle, you will become a person

that lives in so much overflow that you will then begin to pray to God

of how to manage. See, some of y'all have not walked into the

revelation of management because you ain't got enough to manage. But God's saying,

I need you to manage the little that you have so that I can you

to manage. Somebody say more fruit, okay, John ten ten the thief,

the enemy comes to steal kill, and what'll y'all know that scripture?

The crazy thing is, we know more what the enemy wants to do than

what Jesus wants to do. The focus is off the enemy. He wants

to come and steal kill then throw away. Oh okay, but we know

he's defeated. The Bible says he's under our feet. We don't have to

worry about him. But what does our Savior want to do? He said,

I have come that you may have life, and life to the fool.

Write that word down on your paper. Full. I like fu al

l, I like all things full, I like I like, I mean,

come on, like. I don't know about you, but when I

first got my my bachelor path before I was married. There was a few

feelings that you know when you don't really have a lot, that really make

you excited. It's like the feeling after you go grocery shopping and buy everything

you want, and I mean you place all your gatorades how you want them,

and you place all your fruit snacks, and you put your stuff in

there and you got them little stuff. And it's not when you finish,

it's when you go away and you come back to that refrigerator. I'm rich,

Like, ain't nothing like a fool refrigerator. It make a bad day

good. It's like they hate me, but at least I got food.

Like it's like, have you ever gone shopping and you found everything in your

size? Y'all know what I'm talking about. There. Sometimes you go and

it's like, ooh, that's cute, and they don't never got your size.

But there's something about going shopping and it was like I didn't think I

was gonna find nothing. And your bags are fool and you know everything in

there is drippy. It's just like, oh yeah, how about that cat?

Have you ever I just want you to think about having Have you ever

gotten an unexpected check, and you used to seeing your account close to that

zero line or whatever line is yours. Some of y'all got the hundred dollars

line, the thousand dollars line, but it's all zero in our mind,

because when it gets close to that amount, it's like I'm broke, have

nothing. I have everybody stop eating, stop eating, stop eating, like

run a fast, mandatory fast right now as a family. But you ever

had an unexpected check or an unexpected something and you didn't know if it was

gonna cash. It wasn't even real to you until it actually changed the numbers

in the account and you hit that little bank account and the bank account was

Have you ever woke up in the morning and you breathed deep in and you

breathed out, and you felt that your life was full? If you've never

felt that last one, it's better than all of the other ones combined,

because it's the reason Jesus came. He came that you might have life and

life to the what busting at the seams, more than what you can handle,

more than what you even know you need. Somebody just shot at me.

By faith full, I'm believing that this is a new paradigm, a

new thinking process in our lives, that we are going to come into an

area of fullness. But right next to that word fool, I want you

to write this fruit fool. What would it look like if your life was

fruit full? Everywhere I went I was full of fruit. And what would

happen if I told you by the end of this year, the end of

next year, the end of the year after that, that the measure of

your life would not be how many followers you had, would not be how

many accounts you closed, would not be how many people you know or how

many people know you. What would happen if your life was everybody say fruitful?

We need to pray right now. Father. We don't know what's going

on, but in the name of Jesus, I pray healing and strength to

this young man or this young woman, whoever it is. Father God,

I thank you that you are a healer. And I thank you Father that

in this church there will be a place where people will be able to be

safe, healed, delivered and set free. Thank you for wisdom for the

nurses and the doctors. And I thank you, Father God for making everything

okay. In the name of Jesus. We declare all healing, disease and

sickness have to go in the name of Jesus, and we give you the

glory, we give you the honor, and we give you the praise in

Jesus' name. Amen. Hey, listen, the enemy can try, but

he ain't getting it here in the name of Jesus. Amen. How dumb

of you to do that in a church. I'll quit this whole sermon and

I will turn this thing. I'll oh, I love God. Somebody shot

at me. Fool, okay, all right, all right, all right,

fruit fool. When I begin to write this down on my paper,

like a hundred times, I just kept writing fruitful, and then I wrote

my marriage, and then I wrote fruitful, and then I wrote down parenting,

and then I wrote fruit full, and then I wrote down transformation Church.

I want you to practice this right now, write fruit ful, but

then I want you to put at least three things that you desire for your

life to be fruit full in. And then I started getting real deep because

my paper just started. It wasn't enough paper. I started writing fruitful,

and then I was like, in kindness, I've never written down kindness as

something I wanted to be full of because the idea and culture is like like,

I mean, I'll be kind and to you til you push me past

my limit. Come on, y'all know, and once I passed my I

ain't responsible for it. Yes you are, you're gonna tell. But what

if we could be full of kindness, full of forgiveness. Some of you

have been so entitled to the debt that somebody made that you won't even let

it go because you feel safer with the unforgiveness. And what if you are

full of forgiveness. Well, when I started writing down all of these fools,

God said to me. He said, Michael, to be fruit full,

you have to recognize watch this revelation that you are seed full. I

said what he said, Michael, look at any fruit I've ever made.

Inside of the fruit is the seed. Okay, I'm about to preach this

thing. He said. I never meant for the fruit to be it.

I always meant for the fruit to be a catalyst to more fruit. So

if you want to be fruitful, you have to be seedful. And the

beautiful thing about our God is He's put so many seeds on the inside of

all of us. How many of you know there are seeds on the inside

of you that have not fully been cultivated, but there would be a lot

of fruit if they actually hold on. Let me ask that question again.

How many people know that God's put a lot of seeds in you, gifts

in you, things in you that have not been fulled. Okay, I'm

in the right room. So when I started to go through my mind,

if the goal is fruitful and God has made all of us seedful, why

are so many of us pitiful? Have you ever had like you go to

church, you be singing the songs overflower and you man, but your life

is good a full And he said, Michael, because they missed the last

point. Being fruitful means you have to be seedful. But being seedful means

you have to sow, because a seed outside of soil is sus Some of

y'all don't know what that is. I'll use the full It's suspects, But

the Urban Dictionary would tell me that seed without soil is sus Why is this

seed not in something that can produce its greatest potential? And may I submit

to you that many of us are full of seed, but we have not

discovered the revelation of sowing. So you're wanting to be fruitful, and you

are full of seed, but your heart is still grasped by fear greed,

so you won't sow it. And when I got this revelation, y'all,

it freed my entire life because I learned the formula of the kingdom. If

I sow the seeds God's given me, I get more fruit. But if

I also take that fruit and sow the seeds that come from that fruit,

I get more seeds to sew more. It's never supposed to stop. Somebody

say that it's never supposed to stop. Think about this concept. We're still

eating the same apple that was in the garden. You missed it. If

he put one apple on the earth, out of that apple, what seeds.

The only way we eat an apple in twenty twenty four is that there

was an apple at creation and one of those seeds that were in the original

apple created fruit, which created seeds, which created fruit, which created seeds,

which created fruit, which created seeds, which created fruit, which created

seeds. But those seeds outside of soil is suspect. And my question to

everybody in Transformation Church is why is your seed not in soil? Today's message

is called something very simple, fresh seed. I'm believing that God is going

to give you a revelation that you're going to realize that everything that he puts

in your hand is a seed, and your job is to sow it immediately.

Your job is to figure out where do I put this? Your job

is to who do I spend time with? How do I encourage somebody?

Is this money? Where do I give it? God? I need to

learn what to do with this fresh seed because so much of it is coming

in. It's producing so much harvest in my life. I think my full

time job is generosity. Oh, I'm talking to the wrong group of people

today. I used to have a poverty mindset. I used to hide oreos.

Y'all know what I'm talking about. You come to the okay, you

come to the last road. There's only four less and all you want is

too right now, but you want the other two later, So you take

it and you put it somewhere. That is a poverty mindset. While you're

saying that past like it's very trivial, but the truth of the matter is

there's something in you that wants to not do what's necessary to get more and

I used to live like this, not just in finances, not just in

generosity. I used to live like this with my talent, with my giftings.

And then God began to challenge my heart because giving is all about the

heart. Generosity is all about the heart. And when God began to show

me this revelation that he wanted me to live fruitful, and he made me

seedful. So I have to be so full. What do you mean,

so ful? Sow fool? I have to be full of sewing. Somebody

say I'm gonna sew, And some of y'all are so stingy that the word

fumbled out of your mouth when you just said that. Because the truth of

the matter is you feel like you're your protector, and you feel like you're

your provider, and you feel like you are your lord. And so what

you have to do is set up a system that I have enough resource,

enough overflow enough so just in case God doesn't come through, I can protect

myself. Oh come on, y'all, I just exposed somebody. Somebody's standing

there like ooh, And that is not faith. And this whole thing works

my faith. Two Corinthians, chapter nine. I love the Word of God

now May he who supplies seed to the sower and bread for food, supply

and multiply the seed you have sown and increase the fruits of your righteousness.

That is a juicy scripture right there. Keep it on the screen. I'm

gonna read it one more time. It says, now, may he that's

God who supplies seed to the sower. That means the determination to sow.

God already knows before he gives you the seed. We're talking about the God

who knows you, the God who knows your innermost thoughts, who can count

the number of hairs on your head, the God who meets you together in

your mother's wombs. He says, I know if you're gonna sol before I

give you seed, and some of y'all you're not seeing what you desire,

not because God can't supply it, because he knows you wouldn't sew it.

Oh, my God, are y'all reading the same scripts I'm reading. He

who supplies seed to the person he knows will sow, and he gives bread

for food. Watch this supplies and multiplies. Watch this the seed you have

song, Oh, reverse equation, if I sow it, that's what he

multiplies off of Yeah, supply and multiply the seed you have. So no,

Lord, if you give me the seed, I'll sew it. He

said, uh uh, how much did you? So that's what I'm a

multiply No no, no, no, no no no no no no no.

When I make you big, when I get this job. With the

four dollars you have right now, I only can multiply off of what you

have all ready sown. Do y'all hear what I'm saying. So four times

ten is what somebody's like, Uh, Carrie, I said, four times

ten is the only way that that number changes is if what I start with

changes. So seven times ten is ten times ten is twenty times ten is

somebody's like sixty nine fourteen? The stop? Okay, hear me, hear

me, somebody, I ain't done that type of math in a long time

Pastor hear me. It's what you start with that multiplies. That's enough for

us to go home, because now you can figure out why the math hasn't

been mathing for you. Father. Why don't I have enough? Because you

don't give nothing away, and I only can ultiply multiply what you've given me.

So watch this, watch this, mac to math class, zero times

a million is what? So if you have not sown anything, if you

don't have a heart posture of generosity, if you're not looking for something to

give on behalf of your savior, he has nothing to multiply. Oh my

goodness. When I figured this revelation out, it changed the way I viewed.

Watch this seed, Okay, can you give me that seed? Where

is it? It's over here seed? When I go to the store.

I go to the store with seed and I'm looking, Hey, what's your

name? Jen? Seeds of encouragement. Wow, you have such a beautiful

smile. How long have you been working here? They should give you a

raise? Oh y'all thought I was just talking about money. I walk around

with seeds person in front of me. For some reason, my card is

not working, but my son and you sitting there like y'all should hurry up.

If you ain't got the money, get behind me. You knew you

came here without no money, You greedy, selfish you sitting there just praising

God in the car like I got that money? Money an me need eighteen

dollars and some of y'all. When I said eighteen, he was like,

if it was like six or seven, I would be okay. But when

it crosses into the double digits, I know I got some of y'all double

digits. Hold on, now, you know if I was seventeen dollars,

I'm always looking. So see why pastor Mike, because this is what he's

multiplying. What's up? Fam? Good? Oh? Man? Still needs

some money for my tuition. Can't pay it all, but I'll give you

fifty. Well, that didn't meet my need. This ain't about me and

your need. This is about me playing. This ain't about me meeting you

need. He supplies all you'll need. Bye, God. To plan this,

I gotta plant to see the seed is my responsibility. Him providing it

is his. But if I don't plan it and most of us take our

seat and we put it in a bank, mister banker, hold my seat.

Do you have anything? Nothing? If I had it, I you

know oooh SEUs caught me at a bad time. Only use cards? You

only use cards? You have a cash oh no cash out? Wow?

Oh? Come on? How many excuses? How many times have we not

made provision to be generous? My team will tell you one of our opportunities

for growth about say, arguments because I'll be going off on them because these

are my dogs. Who got cash, who got money. Like we'll go

into a store and I'll see a little boy trying to pick out some shoes.

And he's at the wall and his mama is at the sale rack them

Jordan's Mkd's, He's never but he's just there dreaming. I see him standing

right there. I walk over to his mama. What size he wear?

No? No, no, no, no, no, he fine.

He ain't got nothing, he don't need nothing. I know he doesn't need

nothing, but God told me to bless him. This has nothing to do

with you. Do not let anybody keep you from the blessing of being seed

full. Oh my God, No, no, no, we don't need

your money. I know you don't, but God needs my seed. You

may not need my money, but God needs my seed. And if I'm

gonna be fruthful, I have to be seed full, which means I have

to sew. Because some of y'all got a problem. Let me tell you

where the flip comes. When you start giving to rich people. You missed

it. You missed it. You missed it because you thought it was about

what they had. There's things I've given to people with more money than I'll

ever have that blessed them in ways that let them know that God saw them.

You wanna bless somebody? Watch this, bless their kids. You missed

it, miss y'all. And everybody's trying to figure out how how much far

from mind? And God said, you're full of seed but void of sewing.

What I'm asking everybody to do is go get your seed. Run,

run back to the place where you've stored your seed, and say, hold

on, I need to borrow a little bit of that because I'm not just

giving wherever I think I'm giving wherever, he says, because I don't use

seed for manipulation. Key see, because some of y'all will use this.

If you want some seed, got seed for you, a little seed seed?

Well, if you make space for me or promote my situation or talk

nice to me, daddy. And what that is called is witchcraft. All

y'all missed it. That's witchcraft. And that's why we say we give just

to give, not to get. I have given in places that I've never

expected to see the harvest in that place, okay, And some of y'all

are okay with me doing this this whole time, I've been throwing these seas.

Y'all just been like, wow, that's really a mess. But if

I change the seed for him, huh, that will change up real quick.

Huh. If I start, y'all miss it, if I start walking

around planting seeds. Where are the kids at? Is there any kids in

here? Look at her, she said, boy, get up, Get

up, Get up? He was sleep. What's your name? Buddy?

Here you go. Here's some seed for you. Hey, can you do

me a favorite? Can you find that little boy right there, and you

keep two of them, but give one to him right there? Okay,

you see that right there? Yeah, give him one? Yeah? There

you going? Are y'all? Are y'all sisters of friends? Here? Yeah,

y'all? Here, here's some seed you giving away more? He said?

Sure? Okay, well then here, take all of these dollars and

give them to these people right here. Just give it to them right there.

Yeah. Yeah, you missed somebody, you skipped on you What you

didn't like a start? Come back? Yeah? Put a shit? Shit,

You didn't have your hands out, Your hands was in your pocket.

You wasn't ready to receive. Hey, hey, look at him, he's

on a mission. Here, give her the rest of it. Give her

the rest of it. Right there, give her the rest of it.

Give her the rest of it. That might be your wife one day,

give it to give you a rest. Now where you going, Yeah,

give right there? You know the rest of it, everything that's in your

hand. Give them the rest of it. No, all of it,

No, no, all of it. Yeah, there you go. You

got the concept. How do you? He said? Nine? But see

that was just the first part of the seat. These are all twenties.

Okay, Now hold on one second, now, humble you see he was

quick, he was ready. Now, I'm gonna trust you with five of

these, and I need you to go on this row and hand the seed

to these people and then come back and visit me. Just real quick,

real fast. I need you to do a fast boom. Just choose a

bow. Ooh, bow. There you go, bow and bow and back.

Okay, just stand there for a second, don't move see see see

see it's different when it's not just seeds some flower seeds. You didn't open

your hand. You was ready. You was being a humble servant, and

huh you didn't. You didn't want nothing from the Lord. You ain't getting

nothing in me. Look at the kids is standing up. Hold on,

she said, hold on, I don't got a job, all right,

Look you smiling a look at you? Why you're smiling at No, No,

no, nothing like that. Here, go run up and give her

three of those real fast hurry run run run run n I need you to

quick quick quick, QUI quick qui quick quick quick quick, and on your

way back down. Give it to yeah, give it to it and then

on your way. But hold on, you're supposed give her all three.

You not listening three? No, No to the same girl. No,

stop to the same girl. Y'all See how y'all don't be listening. He

represents y'all. You said, I need some money too. What I like

your boldness? What's your name? He said, Dominique bout you? He

told me his whole name. Here, you take that, but just give

one of them to something. Give one to your mam money, you keep

one. Okay, Yeah, we're my mama, he said, Let me

find my mama because I'm in a blessing business. He felt bold enough to

just come up and ask. You've been faithful, man, you've been feel

you get it wrong sometimes? Look at them. It's like, yes,

I do. But every time I've told you to go do something, you've

done it. You've tried to do it. You did it with the right

heart. How much money do you have right now? Do you do you

have any cash that I gave you? Okay, well, I'm gonna give

you some seed. Here you go. How you feel about that? Good?

I like your heart. Give her the seeds that those seeds right there,

Yeah, and then I want you to take all of the rest of

this. It's like three hundred dollars. Okay, Now, I want you

to take all yourn. If I was nine with three hundred dollars, I

would be rich. Okay, But this is what I want you to do.

There was a little girl that was up there. Okay, where's she

at? Come here? Stand up, baby? Can you walk to the

aisle real quick? Bring her to the ale and I want you to meet

her, and I want you to give her all that money. Go ahead,

give her all of it. You're welcome. And do you know that

this whole time, the seeds I gave you, the one dollar bills,

I gave you, the twenties I gave you, it was all a test

because the whole time I had hundreds for you. Put your hand out.

Put your hand out, one, two, three, four, five,

six, seven eight, you nine right nine, And I want you to

live in to overflow. Here. You got there a thousand. What would

happen? What would happen if God's people would just sew? Now? Do

y'all know that tons of people just got blessed. I only touched four people

nine years old with a thousand dollars. That's a different level of living.

Hear what I'm saying to you. It was never about the amounts from this

to one dollar bills to twenty dollar bills to one hundred dollar bills. I

had more than enough to supply. But I gave seed to the and everybody

wants to receive the seed. When you receive the seed, you touch the

least amount. The sower touches the most seed. Oh my God, y'all

are gonna get it on Thursday. When you sew, even though it doesn't

stay with you, you get to touch the most seed. The truth of

the matter is, when you become a conduit that God can flow through,

you get to touch the most seeds. Some of y'all like you making a

mess this is what my life looks like. In things that God gives.

It's more than anybody could pick up and clean up by themselves. I actually

to pick all of this up, I wouldn't need help. This is a

kingdom principle, and He only supplies and multiplies the seed you have sown,

custor might What you should be praying is that God doesn't meet your need.

Ask him to give you fresh seed. Just give me fresh seed, because

the principle works no matter what if this goes into soil. This is why

y'all can't figure out why people who are wicked have resources, because they're actually

more generous than you. But you quote John three point sixteen, you don't

live like it. For God so loved the world that he did what or

you could say it a different way. God soled his son, Oh my

God, where did he put him? He showed him in this earth.

They put him under so that we could be the fruit. We all get

to come to salvation because Jesus was sown for us. What if God would

have had your attitude about sowing. Okay, I need you to go home

and study Second Corinthians nine six to eleven the whole thing because it literally will

preach I'm gonna read the Bible in church, because that's why we gather to

hear about the Bible. But I want you to hear all of this,

it says Second Corinthians ninety six. Remember this, whoever sows sparingly will also

creep sparingly, and whoever's souls generously will also reap generously. Each of you,

somebody say, he's talking to me, should give what you have decided

in your heart to give, not reluctantly or under compulsion. For God loves

a cheerful giver, and God is able to bless you abundantly, so that

in all things, at all times, having all that you need, you

will be abound in every good work. As it is written, they have

freely scattered their gifts to the poor. Their righteousness endures forever. Now he

who supplies seed to the sowld this is where our scripture was found, in

the midst of all this meat, where God is telling you, don't give

a little, don't be stingy with this thing, because you're literally giving me

the opportunity to bless you when you so generously. He said, Now,

he who supplies seed to the sore and bread to the food will also supply

and increase your store of seed. Hold on and will enlarge the harvest of

your righteousness. Hold on, you mean God gave me this little seed bag

to see what I would do. Because right there, it says now he

was ablis to heed to this sored brother. The food is supplies to increase.

He will increase your store of seed. That means that this is my

bag of seed. But there should be a store of seed where I go

fill up all the time. So if I act right with this, I

won't have to go to him every time I need to fill this back up.

He can trust me enough to give me so much because my heart has

turned to giving generosity, stewardship and being intentional. He said, yeah,

pour out some more on it. Pour out enough where he can't carry it

in a bag. Get him a wheelbarrow of blessing. What would happen if

God blessed you with so much seed? Your job during the week is to

just go back and fill it up. Oh yeah, that was fun giving

away that seed yesterday. Well, God, today, I thank you wherever

you send me, I thank you that will use me as a conduit of

your goodness, Father, I thank you. And then God says, did

you do what I said today? Yes? God poured out all the seed

for today, he said, and I give you more than enough. Go

back and fit it up. Well, God, I just thank you so

much that when I used to be so broke minded and frustrated about other people

getting blessed, now celebrate when other people get blessed because I actually know that

it is a sign that you are around me about to do something else.

And I thank you Lord that as I give this seed today, you do

what I said today? Yes, God poured it all out. Well,

God, don't get it. I got you know what, somebody would call

this work? Honest, it takes work to live a generous life. Mo.

We can tell him it takes work to be generous to people. You

want to buy somebody something, and then you got try to get it in

their name, and then you try to do all this stuff. It could

get frustrating. And God says, what kind of work do you want to

do? Because I can make you so blessed in your life when it comes

to love, when it comes to generosity, when it comes to peace,

when it comes to so and your talent all I want you to do is

fill up from the supply that I increased you with, and I want you

to be willing to be generous enough to give it away when I say too,

not for your selfish gain, not to impress anybody. I just want

you to be one of those people that I can use as one of my

ambassadors on the earth. When I hear people praying, I send them next

to you. And I'm telling you, bless that woman. You're like God,

she look blessed. You don't know what she just cried in the car,

and you don't know that she just said, God, if you still

with me when I walk in here, have somebody do something that's unexpected.

And she's sitting there with her Gucci Lulu and Louis Louis bag. Y'all sawt

Lulu and Louis. I'm talking about Lululemon and Louis Vatan and you like this

as Amazon legs. I'm not giving her nothing. And your attitude has judged

an outfit to determine if you're gonna sow the seed he said, he increases

your righteousness, you will be enriched in every way so that you can be

Oh my gosh, you will be increased and enriched in everywhere when you get

the heart of generosity, when you get the concept of having fresh seed.

He said, you will be enriched and enlarged in such a way that watch

this promise you can be generous on every occasion. The only reason you're not

generous every time that you can be is because you think you're gonna run out.

But what if God could see his heart in you so much that you

could have enough increase to give on every Uh. This is prosperity gospel.

No, it's not. This is principles of the Kingdom. I did not

write this. It says you will be enriched in every way so that you

can be generous on every occasion, and through us your generosity watch this.

Watch when I give will result in thanksgiving to God. Come on, let's

thank God in this place and you go holy wooh great. But he said,

you thank me when you give too. What am I saying? Okay,

sum it up. The fruit is the result that God wants for all

of our life. The seed is ready for us. Do you'll own rush?

This seed is ready to produce right now. It is fullard expectation.

This seed right here has so much potential. This seed can make all of

this. This seed is ready, but it's looking for somebody who's responsible enough

to put it in the right soil. And what are most of y'all doing?

You're eating your seed? Ah, Now I destroy the potential. Well,

there's so many other seeds around me. Yeah, and there's so much

you will never see because that thing I ate and I ain't even really like

it. The fruit is the result. The seed is ready. Somebody say,

the seed is ready. The sewing is your responsibility. That's all I

wanted you to know is God is about to give you fresh seed. And

I just want Transformation Church to have faith like a farmer. I want you

to wake up every morning like I don't got a lot. I just got

one scoop. But the thing about a seed bag is you don't know how

much is in here. Only the person that gave it to you. So

this bag could be fooled you wouldn't know. Or this bag could have two

things in it, you wouldn't know. But if I came with the same

attitude, hey, here you go. What for me? Yes, God,

bless you. God's looking at how I saw, not what I sew.

Y'all remember that story in the Bible where the woman she gave the last

two mites. She had two seeds, and all these people was coming down

and they was making it running. They was like, I'm a big ball,

and they was coming into tenth and they were doing all this other stuff.

And Jesus don't pay attention to none of them, he said, because

they're doing it to be seen. But he called that woman over He said,

DEESI, well look at that. You see that woman over there.

She reached inside of her back and took the last two seeds she had.

And all these other people are given out of their abundance and their pride,

and they're trying to impress people at the golf club, and they're trying to

oppress people at the PTA meetings, and they're trying to press people at the

boat on the juck with the buds and the budwisers, and you're trying to

do all this stuff on the lake in the weekend and prove yourself. And

God said, but none of that matters to me. You see that woman

with two seeds. What she did is she sold from a place of desperation.

And we're gonna talk about the seed she sowed for as long as there's

an earth. Yeah, okay, somebody say, I will have faith like

a farmer. Y'all know how many people? Is there any farmers in the

building right now? Farmers? What's y'all? Shout out the farmer in the

building. What's up? What? What? What? What do you?

What do you? What? Do you farm? Cotton? You from?

Hold on, man, what y'all? I'm just playing guys. People farm

cotton. He didn't want to say it. Y'all should have seen him.

He turned right here with cotton. I appreciate you. My shirt would not

be made without you. Okay, so so so watch watch watch this,

watch this. This man in this room, I want you to hear me

has a revelation that most of us do not have. Because most of us

go and uber door dash, pick up whatever we desire. We don't have

to make a deposit or sew anything to see the actual harvest. But but

you're you know about seasons. You will know about having to plant something at

one moment, and you don't wake up every day and be like, oh,

it's gonna happen today. You already know that it takes seed time.

And then what heart the earth? Is just explaining the word of God.

So this man does not sow seed on one day and get frustrated because it

didn't show up the next day. Well, God, I sold that one

time in crazy faith, and I'm still waiting right here. A farmer knows

that I keep so in seed. I go find more land to put it

in. I go find an area of the country who has different weather.

And I can live in one place, but I can be sowing in another.

You missed it. I can be going into this church, but I

can sew in another one, y'all. I can be a part of this

family, but I can sew into somebody else's families faith Like a farmer,

what do you say at pastor? Like Ecclesiastes eleven four says it like this,

farmers who wait for perfect weather never planned, And some of y'all been

waiting for the weather to be perfect. Oh Lord, Like yeah, once

I get my dad down to here, and when I saw I pay this

monster off, and then Lord, once I once I get out of this

broke apartment, because you know, I can't do roaches, and I've seen

a roach last week, and I have to get out of here. And

I'm gonna lose my deposit because I did paint the walls. But I I

like, and you gonna do all of the Look what happens, he said.

Farmers who wait for the perfect weather never plan. If they watch every

cloud, they never harvest. Now the stock markers about the turn now Bitcoin,

I'm telling y'all, it's gonna be the thing. No, no,

no, I got my blockchain together. I got my blockchain. Oh no,

no, no, no no. I'm investing in squids right now.

Oh y'all, ain't hear about the squids. The squids. Boy, if

I go over to Asia and buy seventeen squids, I can bring them to

Alabama. I can sum for a thousand dollars. Everybody's gonna be, he

said. If you keep waiting for this perfect moment, he said, you

don't have a heart for this. You're waiting for your situation to give you

permission to sew for what a farmer knows is I'm a plan anyway. I

got a lot of money. I'm a plan anyway. I got a lot

of time. I'm a plan anyway. I got no time. I'm gonna

steal sew something. Watch this sewing all the time. It's the right time.

Let me tell you the perfect time to sew all the time. Do

y'all hear what I'm saying. I'm trying to break the back of poverty and

little thinking off of your life. What if you made a decision that every

day this year, I'm gonna give away a dollar. I'm not talking about

hundreds, one dollar, pick your amount, but I want you to prepare

to sew it every day. Oh God, what if you could wake up

knowing I'm gonna make some little kid's day. What if you could wake up

knowing I'm gonna be a conduit. What if I took this dollar and actually

put an invite card to church? What if I sold this dollar for a

kid to get some candy whose parents wasn't having a good day with him and

they didn't have the money, and they stretched that like whifa, And then

I said, hey, you should come to mind, Like what if you

decided what if you gave good tips like they ain't even serve me good?

You don't serve God good. I'm sorry, but the truth of the matter

is you're judging people on a scale that you're not even on. What if

you decided anything I spend. God, if you bless me, I'm gonna

give twenty percent. It is not about their service to me, It is

about my service to them. Well, two things are gonna happen. Some

of y'all gonna stop going out to eat and then the other thing and then

the other thing that's gonna happen is you'll be a conduit of generosity. Then

people know the service wasn't good, but you gave them twenty percent, and

just say, Jesus loves you. What could happen? All right? When's

the right time to sew? I said, when's the right time to sew?

And the thing that I found out about sowing seed is seed makes you

sensitive. Wherever you have seed, you care about that space. The reason

why y'all can judge people is you ain't got no seed there. But the

same celebrities that you talking about are the celebrities I'm praying for. Why Because

I've been up at four a m. With some of them, trying to

pray for them and give them hope not to kill themselves. Some of them,

Charles Nose, have shown up at our church doors called I'm in Oklahoma.

I got seed in the ground. So why you commenting and about them.

The what I'm doing is I'm praying and interceding and tear down strongholds and

asking other people who have anonymity as a part of their anointing to get around

these people and pray for their marriages. And why because I'm sensitive? Why

are you sensitive? Because I got seed there The reason why you can't talk

about people who are lgbtq AI, it's because there's nobody around you that you

love that's in that battle. Oh God, I'm stepping too heavy right now.

But the truth of the matter is if your son and daughter struggle with

that, you will become sensitive. I hate religious people. Y'all are so

faith Wherever your seed is sown, you become sensitive. That's why I'm sensitive

about the atmosphere of this house. I got blood, sweating tears in this

house before I was a pastor, before I was in I sold seeds in

the sound booth. I would not be on this platform had I not sown

the seeds in the back of the auditorium. And everybody wants our seeds to

be platformed. And God said, it ain't about that, It's about me.

That Ecclesias is Ecclesiastes eleven to four. It just as nasty, it

says, just as you cannot understand the path of the wind or the mystery

of the tiny baby growing in a mother's womb, so you cannot understand the

activity of God, who does all things. He said, when you plant

something, you will not be able to understand what God is doing with your

seed. Do y'all understand that He's letting you know that when you sew,

there is a mysterious component to it, because if you knew how to make

it happen, you would manipulate the system. So I want you to trust

me, so just so, and watch me work in the background and stuff

you could never ever imagine. And he's saying, watch this, write it

down in a point. The mystery of sewing won't make sense, but it

will make miracles. And then it goes on to say, watch this.

Plant your seed in the morning and keep busy all afternoon. Ooh, I

love a Bible. So it tells you, first off, wake up something.

Y'all just been sleeping on your seed. I'm gonna come closer. You've

been sleeping on your seat. You've been sleeping away the thing that God wants

you to sow somewhere. Well, they won't pay me enough. You don't

need the money, you need the experience. Cause if you will get the

experience in this season, I got a Doing So Cold up the street for

you. But you watching these podcasters that don't have nothing except lighting in a

microphone and ninja don't do anything unless they done du dah. Shut up and

listen to me. But they have a louder mic in your life than the

Holy Spirit. And he told you to go sew at that elementary school that

does have a budget. But I'm gonna be a principal one day. And

he's saying, but you get up and sew your seeds early in the morning

in that third grade classroom. Well, I'm retired, but you're not dead.

And because you worked all of them years, you thought, now you're

supposed to stop working for me. So because you don't got to go to

a job every day, does it mean I don't have work for you to

do. But you sleep in your life away instead of planting your seeds.

He said, plant your seeds in the morning and watch my favorite part ooh

ooh ooh, and keep busy all afternoon. So he doesn't say plan I

did it. God all right, call me when call me? When he

says, now, find something else to make profitable. What's the point,

pastor Mike, Oh, swiftly, work steady. It's the morning. I'm

sewing it. I'm getting this out of getting I got to get this out

of my hands, gotta get it out and I'm gonna still work steady.

Why am I gonna do that? Here's the reason. Here's this where we're

closing for. You don't know if the profit will come from one activity or

the other. My favorite part or maybe booth just all say that. It's

almost like God's playing with us. He says, So to seed early in

the morning, work and invest in something else all afternoon. He said,

do both of them. Yeah, just keep doing it because one may work

or the other man work or think about this. Maybe I want you.

He playing with us because he knows all you're doing is on seed. Yeah,

he's telling you both will work. Because if I saw a seed here,

and I saw a seed there, and I saw a seat here and

I saw a see it's where the seed is planted and what it was designed

to do, It's gonna produce everybody shouting me fruit there it is cause I'm

Mike. Why are you saying this? Because when you read the last part

of that, for you don't know if profit will come from one activity or

another, or maybe both. It gave me the faith to say it is

coming. Somebody say it's coming. Something's coming from what I'm planting. Something

is coming from all the meetings and all the counseling and all. Something is

coming from me waking up and forgiving. Something is coming from me moving my

whole family to Tulsa, Oklahoma. And I didn't know what the heck.

I ain't no Oklahoma existed, but the seeds that I've sown, something is

coming. Somebody's shot at me. Something's coming. I don't know where it's

coming from. I don't know who's gonna be a part of it. But

I know I saw good seed in good ground and something something's coming. So

that's why each of you should give what you have. This is the last

word I want you to maximize on decided today. All I wanted you to

do is see a real picture of what it would look like if you decided

to wake up every morning and have faith like a farmer. Because God wants

us to be fruit fool, and he's already made us seed fool. So

our responsibility is to do what So each of you should give what you have

decided in your heart to give, not reluctantly or under com compulsion, for

God loves a cheerful giver. Let me tell you how this works out in

my life. I've already decided to give all my children once they do the

necessarity things, when they get their driver's license. I've decided to buy all

of them a car as soon as they get a driver's license. A couple

of reasons. One of them is selfish, I don't want to drive them

around no more. But but for real, the the reason is like,

because I want to be a father that gives them more than what they deserve.

And I know some of y'all there you go, No kids need that,

and they're gonna have nice cars, like I'm not. I started out

with a bucket, and you gonna get a bucket. I thought we were

supposed to build generationally and they were supposed to get better. I'm just saying.

I'm just saying. I'm just saying, so they're gonna have nice cars,

and I've already planned that they're probably gonna wreck them, because I know

my kids. But I've already decided. My oldest daughter's ten. She can't

legally get a vehicle or a license for another six years, but her father

is thinking about her in advance, and I've already so because I've decided,

I've already started making preparations because I'm gonna sew a car into her. I've

already decided. So now I'm already planning and preparing for it. So me

and natalieven talked about this for years and all that other stuff. My parents

blessed me and my brothers with cars and stuff like that. It was a

really big moment for us, Like whoa Like, I got a car,

I got responsibility. Oh, I gotta put gas in that much like there's

like different things that I started learning. And the Holy Spirit said, I

give seed to the soul. I was like, yes, God, and

I'm just swing to my kids. He said, so on to somebody else's

kids. I said what He said, what do you mean? Me and

Natalie went on a trip or withdrawal trip. On the way back, he

said, I want you to buy this person's child a vehicle. I said,

Lord, I said that I decided to give my kids and once looked

like me and Natalie. He said, come on, sometimes you gotta clarify

like once we had. He said, I know, I know what you

decided. But if that heart is already there and I give seed to the

do you have the heart now? MOA's my witness this week when it bought

somebody else's kid a car, No, hear me. No, No,

this out for the cloud because it hurt to do. Do you know what

I could have done with it? And it's a nice car, But I'm

not looking for a harvest because my responsibility was to sow the I'm telling you

as a church that if you would decide, decide, you're going to actually

give to people at Christmas this next year. Come on, some of y'all,

miss they ain't never gave me nothing. They don't have the heart to

They don't have a heart like me, They don't have a heart like our

father. But you could decide. And I'm not talking about being frivolous and

ridiculous and getting in debt. I'm not talking about that. But right now

you could make a everybody say decision, Oh my god, you could and

if you decided that I am gonna be a generous person. This scripture changes

your life. Watch it. Proverbs eleven, twenty four, twenty six.

This is where we end. The world of the generous gets larger and larger,

and the world of the stingy gets smaller and smaller. The one who

blesses others in abundant is abundantly blessed. Those who help others are helped.

Don't eat your seed, don't leak your seed, and don't cheat your seed.

How do I cheat my seed by not sowing it? With everybody stand

all over this building. I feel hearts changing in this room. I am

talking about finances. Everybody listen to me. Everybody listen. We're gonna leave

just a second. But I really feel like God wants a fresh commitment from

you to decide the level of generosity you're gonna live at. And this is

how I want to end service. We're gonna sing overflow again, but I

think we're gonna sing it with revelation this time. I'm not just talking about

one area of my life. I'm talking about overflow in every area. But

that means if I'm going to have something that's full enough to overflow, I

gotta show what God's already placed in my hand. Generosity isn't dramatic. It's

a decision. If you want to make a decision to live at another level

of generosity, You're not gonna prove it with your finances today. You're gonna

prove it with your heart commitment to God. There's no switching bait. There's

a bait and switch, that's what it's called. No, there's no bait

and switch. There's no I want you to have this revelation because it changes

the quality of your life. Christ came that you might live to the full.

Would you your hands if you desire to live at that level and actually

experience what it's like to have fresh seed. Oh, my God, Father,

here we are today. God, I pray the prayer that I prayed

almost twelve years ago. Father, Would you take all of us from a

place of providing for ourselves to a place of knowing that you truly are our

provider. Would you teach us the kingdom principles that would allow us to give

freely and expect you to be Jehovah Jirah. Would you eradicate us from all

of the thoughts of greed and poverty, because both sides of the pendulum are

evil. And God, would you let us walk in a level of trust

that would allow us to see your faithfulness over and over and over again.

Today, God, we trust you, and we decide that we will live

generous. God. I'm thinking you that all week you will do heart surgery

on us, and you'll give us opportunities, Father God, to wake up

and be ready to sow the seed that you've given us, a seed of

encouragement, a seed of kindness, a seed of love, a financial seed.

Father, whatever the seed is, whatever type, and we won't look

for the place that we sowed to be the place that we reap the harvest.

I thank you that we will look to you, the Lord of the

harvest, to be able to meet every need. Blow our minds, God,

and let us live in the overflow. We give you glory, we

give you honor, and we give you praise. Change our faith in the

name of Jesus. Let us have faith like a farmer in Jesus' name.

If you're in this room and you've never accepted Jesus as your personal word and

savior, y'all, they're gonna have to come and clean this up in just

a second, and then we're going to sing the song. But I just

need everybody to focus right now. If you are in this place and you've

never received the seed of Jesus on the inside of you, it will be

the thing that makes you more fruitful than anything that you've ever ever ever seen

in this world. I can tell you it's taken me from being a liar

of manipulator, somebody who was addicted to pornography. I had a lot of

evil things in my heart, had a lot of manipulation motives in my heart.

And God did make me a perfect man. But I'm telling you he

turned my life upside down. There's no way I should be standing up here

in front of you after ten years. Who I was was nothing like who

God has made me to be. And I'm telling you it was because of

one name, Jesus. And today I want to offer you the greatest gift

that I was given. And I'm telling you this is not a moment to

actually be excited about anything else except my life being transformed. Today. Some

of y'all are tired of running, You're sick of the relationships not work,

and you're done with church as normal. Some of y'all are religious, but

you don't know Jesus. You got rituals, meditation, prayer times, candles,

and you have nothing that will actually help you. And today I want

to give you say his name with me. Jees He's the reason we're here.

He's the reason we give because he already gave say his name one more

time. Yeah, today, I want to offer you Jesus. This is

not spooky, this is an upgrade. Whatever life you've been living is better

with him. So on account of three, if that's you, if you

want to give Jesus your life today and actually for real living to overflow,

I just want you to lift your hands. You don't got to confess every

sin you've ever done. You could still be struggling with addiction. He's the

only person that he will bring you in and he says, give me your

heart and I'll help you change your habits. Don't believe the lot that you

got to clean up before you come to God. You can't do it.

You'll still be a mess. But he'll take you just as you are,

and then he loves you so much he'll not leave you just like that.

Today, if you want to give Jesus your life one. You're making the

greatest decision of your life too. I believe that God has divinely orchestrated you

to be here right now. Today is the day of salvation, and your

name is going to be written in the Lamb's Book of Life all over this

room three. If you want to accept Jesus, lift your hand in this

place. I see you, my brother, so proud of you, man

holding your baby. I see you, I see you my sister. Come

on, transformation, come on, hands going up online. Oh y'all,

this is the reason that that we're here. Thank you Lord. Hey,

we're a family. Nobody prays alone with everybody. Just lift your hands and

say God, thank you for sending Jesus. Today I give you my life.

I believe you lived, you die, you rose again, and today

I give you my life. Change me, renew me, transform me,

make me fruitful. I'm yours in Jesus' name. Amen. Can we shout

all over this place and all over the world, Halleujah, Thank you Jesus.

Hey, listen, we're gonna do something, and the team knows we're

about to sing overflow one more time. I want us to go out in

victory because some of y'all about to be so fruitful, because you're gonna be

seedful, and you gonna everybody say so, Okay, next week, I'm

gonna cut you real hard, okay, So everybody wear bandages, bring your

bandages, bring everything. It's gonna be the best cut you've gotten in this

whole series. And then then we're gonna get ready for Easter. But as

they're doing this, I need I need you to know if you need prayer

for anything. After we sing this song, the altar call workers are going

to be at the rear of the building where you see the little blue kind

of lights going up. Everybody, look back there, y'all see the blue

lights. That's heaven, okay, And you're going to go back there and

there's gonna be team there to pray for you, okay. And then I

want to give everybody a reminder. As you leave, we got these mustard

seed bottles with fresh on them, and everybody, as you leave, I

want you to leave with your fresh seed because it's not going to take a

lot. I want you to put this in your car. I want you

to put it on your desk. I wanted you to put it on your

night's stand. I want you to remember that God is the one who gives

seed to the sower, and I just want you to have this reminder that

every morning you wake up, you get grace and mercy, but there's fresh

seed there too. Amen. Thank you for joining us today. If you

said that prayer and accept it Jesus into your heart, it's the best decision

you could ever make. We want to celebrate with you, and we have

some tools to help you on your journey. Text saved to A two eight
