Dorothy and Zelda, the leaders of Mannenberg Harvest Time Pentecostal Church Vuku, went to the Children's Library in Philippi (Missionary Jung and his wife Joy) and initiated a Vuku group with the parents.

He also said, “This is what the kingdom of God is like. A man scatters seed on the ground. Night and day, whether he sleeps or gets up, the seed sprouts and grows, though he does not know how. All by itself the soil produces grain—first the stalk, then the head, then the full kernel in the head. As soon as the grain is ripe, he puts the sickle to it, because the harvest has come.”

Mark 4:26‭-‬29 NIV

Written by Jung 

Some might dispute this claim, arguing that we understand how plants grow through scientific discoveries, particularly in the field of biology. However, it is certain that we still have much to learn to truly understand life itself.

Nonetheless, this is an analogy, and Jesus is describing what the Kingdom of Heaven is like. Some theologians and especially psychologists, who have researched for many years to understand human development, might claim to understand how our minds work—what goes in and what comes out.

Yet, in the Kingdom of Heaven, how we grow remains a mystery. The primary reason for this is you. You were created by God in His image. As mysterious as God is, you are a wonder that can't be generalized because we don't know what God will work out in you.

That is why no one can claim to change or transform you except God alone. The people around you are mere vessels who help facilitate the transformation that God is performing in you, much like a man who scatters seeds. Some might understand what God is doing in you, but it is still God who is doing it.

You are a work of art created by none other than God Himself, and the same holds true for those you are serving now. Therefore, our objective is not to transform but to offer the true truth and, not my own love, but the love of Christ, so we do not hinder what God is doing in them.

Bless you, for you are God's proud workmanship.
