THE. SEED (2)

-

Text : Luk 8:11

Now the parable is this: The seed is the word of God.

In explaining the parable of the Sower,  Jesus said two things are essential :

1. Your eyes and

2. Your ears. 

 “How blessed are your *eyes* because they see, and your *ears* because they hear!Mat 13:16 ISV

That is,  any eye and ear that can see and hear the things of the kingdom are blessed.This is because not all eyes and ears see and hear it. 

Without these two elements,  no one can gain understanding of the kingdom matters. Hence,  you must consistently pray to the father to open your spiritual eyes and ear that your heart may be flooded with understanding. Eph. 1:17-18.

The parable of the Sower helps us to know that there are basically four different kinds of believers:

1. The By-the road side believers.

2. The stony believers. 

3. The thorny believers

4. The good ground believers. 

Now, one thing is common to them all: they all received the seed. The SEED is the word of God.(Luke 8:11).

It is worthy to note that this parable is not  addressing people outside the Church, but those that have had the opportunity of hearing the word of God.

However,  hearing alone is not enough, it is what you do with what you have heard that counts. 

But be ye doers of the word, and not hearers only, deceiving your own selves.James 1:22 KJV 

What are you doing with THE SEED?  what are you doing with the word of God you have been exposed to? 

THE SEED was sown into your life so it can grow into fruition. 

Hearers of God's word are like trees. God has an axe ready at the lowest part of the trees. He will cut down every tree that does not bring forth good fruit. He will throw these trees into the fire.’Mat 3:10 EasyEnglish

 *God is expecting fruit from the seed of His word He has sown into your life. Don't be a fruitless tree.* 

Bible reading: Matthew 13:1-23.

THE GOOD FIGHT-2

Text:  1 Timothy  6:12   Fight the good fight of faith, lay hold on eternal life, whereunto thou art also called, and hast professed a good profession before many witnesses. Another thing to pursue in fighting the good fight of faith is Godliness. We understand through the Holy scriptures that godliness is profitable unto all things.   *For bodily exercise profiteth little: but godliness is profitable unto all things, having promise of the life that now is, and of that which is to come.* 1 Timothy  4:8.  You will reap the reward of your godliness not only when you get to heaven, but from here on earth. And this is why we are admonished to exercise ourselves unto godliness. (1 Timothy  4:7), because godliness with contentment is great gain.1 Timothy  6:6. Godliness is the practice of conforming to the image of God by reflecting the nature of the kingdom of God in the course of everyday life. In other words, godliness is living and portraying the nature of God here on earth.  2 Peter  1:

PRAYING MEN

Text : 1Timothy 2:8. I will therefore that men pray every where, lifting up holy hands, without wrath and doubting. God gave explicit instructions to all of His children as to how we must live our lives. Some of these instructions cut across boards, of which all of God's children must obey. However, there are some instructions that are specific to gender or portfolios. We we'll be looking at some of these instructions today.  *THE MEN* From our text, there are two distinct responsibilities God wants men to undertake, and the two are intertwined. First, God wants men to pray. The word  'men' as used in our text is not generic as to mean all human beings. It is specifically requesting that all men should pray. Yes, God expects every of His children to pray, but He specifically called men out here.  A number of times,  when prayer meetings are called, the proportion of women in attendance always outnumbered men. This is because the devil knows the import of praying men.

BE CALM & LISTEN-3

Text: 1 Kings 19:12 "...and after the earthquake a fire, [but] the LORD [was] not in the fire; and after the fire a still small voice" Prophet Elijah fled after he received the life threatening message from Jezebel, the wife of King Ahab, because he didn't keep himself calm before the Lord.  *Endeavouring to listen to God in difficult times is a major prerequisite to your deliverance.*  Are you faced with a life threatening situation like Prophet Elijah, the first and most important thing you need to do is: "Set yourself before the Lord for His still small voice."  *"You will be saved from many unwarranted troubles if only you will always maintain your calm before the Lord and listen to Him."*  After Prophet Elijah heard the still small voice, then the Lord asked him, "What are you doing here?" This question shows that Prophet Elijah had left his rightful location and God-given assignment.  The windstorm he saw, revealed that he has been blow
