THE WORD IS AN INCORRUPTIBLE SEED

“Being born again, not of corruptible seed, but of incorruptible, by the word of God, which liveth and abideth forever”. 1 Peter 1:23 (KJV)
The word of God is incorruptible; therefore anyone born of the word is also incorruptible. Our text scripture says, being born again not of corruptible seed, but of incorruptible by the word of God, which lives and abides forever. This means that you are indestructible. The word is incorruptible and whenever it lands on something that is dead, it turns alive! It is referred to as the word of God which liveth and abideth forever, it’s not temporary.
When you understand that you’re born of an incorruptible seed, no matter what’s attempting to corrupt your life or to destroy your life will never succeed. Life will always swallow death, life will always consume death. The same spirit of him that raised up Jesus dwells in us and quickens our mortal bodies. You know what Jesus told us in the parable of the sower (Mark 4:14). The word of God is like a seed, the sower sowed the word. The word is what we sow. Every time you speak God’s word, and every time you read God’s word, you are receiving seed into your spirit, the seed will produce after its kind.
The sower sowed the word and the word is incorruptible, and because it is incorruptible, what he sows must produce. That is why you should be addicted to the word. Every time you read the Bible, find out what God is saying concerning you, and don’t be intimidated to say it. I am the righteousness of God in Christ, I am a new creation, old things are passed away and all things have become new. I cannot fail, I’m more than a conqueror and I can do all things through Christ which strengthens me. I am born of God, I am a world overcomer, and greater is He that is in me than he that’s in the world. Let that be your declaration and every time you speak it into your life, you’re assimilating the word that will produce the incorruptible seed. You are sowing incorruptible seed into your life that must produce.
