GENESIS 1:11
Then God said, “Let the earth bring forth grass, the herb that yields seed, and the fruit tree that yields fruit according to its kind, whose seed is in itself, on the earth”; and it was so. [Genesis 1:11 NKJV]
Then God said, “Let the earth produce plants. Some plants will make grain for seeds. Others will make fruit with seeds in it. Every seed will produce more of its own kind of plant.” And it happened. [Genesis 1:11 ICB]
As soon as the earth was established and named forever, the earth became what a dryland was not by this Word of God expressed above. God spoke, and things began coming out (growing forth) from within the earth and surfacing the face of the earth. Dryland became Greenland, and the wilderness became forest of fruitful field.
There was neither rain nor sowing (planting), yet by His Word, God made the earth to bring forth in one day [Isaiah 66:8]. And the plants offspring He commanded the earth to bringforth and to bear were those that would in turn be yielding (bearing) seeds and fruits afterwards. His Word empowered the earth to bear fruits that would in turn bear fruits, and to yield seeds that would in turn yield seeds; so the chain of reproduction, seed-yielding or fruit bearing would be sustained. Nothing that is unfruitful and unyielding should continue on earth, for God required every offspring of the earth to be fruit bearers, seed bearers and yielders, including mankind themselves, plants and animals. Every man must be fruitful and yielding to God if the man must remain on God's earth.
Bible Teacher:
Before it became so and happened, it was neither natural nor humanly possible for the earth to bring, to give or to yield, anything. But as soon as God said it, it became so and happened that it's natural and common for the earth to bring, to yield or to give. At first it was a supernatural wonder and miracle of God's Word, and since then it had continued to happen as the earth keeps responding and obeying the same Word of God spoken once in the beginning.
This Word of God transformed the Earth into a Bringer, a Yielder, a Producer, or a Giver: and the same Word makes it consistent. That was the day "Giving" began in the earth: and Giving is the foundation of bringing forth, producing, yielding, growing and bearing fruits and seeds. Seeds contain information of Giving. When Seeds began to exist on earth was when "Giving" began on earth. Everything about the plants, seeds and fruits, is establishing "The Reality and the Necessity of Giving, which is also Bringing, Yielding, Producing, Bearing fruits etc." Giving was first established on earth before Receiving, which also means Producing came before Consuming came. When there was no consumer or receiver on earth, the Word of God made the earth producer, bringer, yielder, bearer or giver.
It is more blessed to give than to receive, and more blessed to produce than to consume. Producing is founded on Giving; it's a process of bringing one's own contribution or strength to the table. The earth itself was the first bringer (giver) that brought things to this Earthly Table; and all the earth brought forth that day were by default, "True Givers." These things the earth brought forth to the table included Plants, Vegetation, Seeds, Trees and Fruits, of all their kinds, according to the Word of God's Mouth.
Commentaries:
In the same day the dry ground was formed and named Earth, God gave the communication that empowered the dry ground of the earth into becoming a yielder, a producer, a reproducer or a multiplier, a bringer and a bearer of fruits and harvest out of seeds sown and food planted in it as returns on investments. The day the earth was setup and called was the same day God began to place demands and expectations on the earth for fruitfulness and yielding results.
God began to demand harvest from His Earth, and to expect fruitfulness from His Works. The earth was the first of the Earthly Works of God, from which God requires fruits and harvest. Mankind is part of the Earth's ground, and God also requires mankind to bear Him fruits and to yield His Harvest.
Bible Teacher:
Mankind would discover the cure after they discovered a disease (sickness), but God established the cure before a disease (sickness) ever came. Before any problem or disease ever exist, God already established its Solution or Healing (Herb) before it. For giving existed before receiving began, abundance existed before scarcity came, food existed before hunger began, and there were producers on earth before consumers emerged.
The varieties of plants, herbs, seeds, fruits and trees, were varieties of answers and solutions to those things that were yet to come in need for them. Thus, by then, eyes had not seen, ears had not heard, what God already prepared for those yet to come on the earth.
