Does the seed have dominion over the soil or does the soil have dominion over the seed? It seems from Jesus parable that the soil has influence on what the seed becomes, either fruitful or not fruitful. Looking at nature a seed becomes what it is programed to be; corn seed will always become a corn plant and will extract what nutrients it needs from the soil. So, we are back at the parable of the sower to start today, but then on to some other scriptures to help us understand the answer to this question, and how we can become more productive with our faith in God’s word.
