Demands for Guaranteed Returns on Our Seed Sown
The seed principle is the fundamental covenant that powers the dominion mandate God has given man. Gen1:28-29
Seed is the reproductive agent of a thing.
Every good thing God gives has seed in it, necessarily to ensure its constant supply.
If God is the source of all good things, then seeds are the resources of all the good God gives.
The fruit is for man's sustenance but the seed is for sustaining the supply of fruit
The fruit is for man, but the seed is for God.
- Sow honourable seeds – Mal. 1:6-9/ Pro. 3:9/ 1 Sam. 2:30

Honourable seed is seed that is presentable.
Honourable seed is seed sown in righteousness. malachi 3:3 Acts 5:3
Honourable seed is seed sown with the right motive. Ps50:5-11 . The purest motive is sowing to honour the covenant.

The more you sow, the higher your chances of a harvest. ecclesiastes 11:6
