BECAUSE OF THE WORD Part 1
THE EXCELLING WORD FOR TODAY
BECAUSE OF THE WORD Part 1
Matthew 13:3-8,18-23 20.
The seed falling on rocky ground refers to someone who hears the word and at
once receives it with joy. 21. But since they have no root, they last only a
short time. When trouble or persecution comes because of the word, they
quickly fall away (NIV).
My excelling men and women, today I am so excited to
bring to your door post this words of encouragement directly from the throne of
‘Grace'. I know this word will spur you up for excellence in your work with
God. From our text above JESUS was explaining the parable of the sower, the
seeds, the receiving ground and the environmental conditions. The Sower
is he who shares the word. The Seeds are the Words of the Kingdom. The
receiving Ground is the Heart of the receiver. The environmental
conditions represents the Evil One and his strategies.
Please take
note that all the seeds that the sower sowed, had one impact or the other on
the receiving ground. Some fell on a walking path, which represents the
people who hear the Word of God but don't understand it. Some others fell on
the rocky ground, which represents the hearts that receives the Word of God
with excitement but does not have a strong root in their hearts. Also some
other fell on thorns, which represents the people who gets the Word but the
worries and deceitfulness of Riches never allowed it to grow at all. While the
other few fell on good ground which represents the people who hear and
understand in their hearts. My dear readers it is so clear that all the attacks
of the 4 types of hearts (people) were because of the Word.
NOTE
Because of the Word:
1. The Birds came.
The birds represents the
evil one who is always roaming about looking for whom to devour. Bear in mind
whenever he knocks on your door just know that it is a sign that there is a Word
(Seed) of greatness in you. Don't get confused or get carried away. But the
truth still remains that he will definitely steal away any Word meant for
you that you don't have good understanding about. Beware!
2. The Heat
arose.
The heat represents the persecutions, trials, troubles and problems
of life. As a believer whenever you see so much heat around you, one thing you
must guide jealously is that Word of prophecy from God for your future.
Don't stop meditating on it, because the heat has come to scorch any word that
is not deeply rooted in you , to make sure it withers away. Don't be deceived
into thinking you don't have anything for the devil to attack you for. Just
hearing the word alone, even though you don't understand it, is enough
for the birds of the air to come visiting. So also if you hear the word
you didn't really take time to give it a tap root in your heart. You allowed
excitement to take you over, it means you are trading on a dangerous ground.
The heat must surely come because of that word and if the word does not have a
tap root in you, then forget it you have lost that word.
Be alert! Beware!
Be warned! Don't fall a victim.
Shalom!
