In this scripture the seed represent the Gospel.
Jesus teaches here that each time a human being hears the word of God, there are four possibilities:
1- Some seeds fell along the path
Some people, as soon as they hear the word, the spirit of darkness(spiritual boundage/covenant/education) comes and takes away the word that was sown in them. Only way out: deliverance.
2- Some seeds fell on rocky places
Some people hear the word and at once receive it with joy. 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 and deny their identity in Christ instead of standing by the promesse of God and the Holy Spirit.
3- Some seeds fell among thorns
Some people hear the word but the worries of this life, the deceitfulness of wealth and the desires for other things come in and choke the word, making it unfruitful. We are all made to bear fruits for the Lord, to impact lives. Be too full of ourself could be a falling stone.
4- Some seeds fell on good soil
Some people hear the word, accept it, and produce a crop for the Lord. They just live their destiny full of the fruit of the Spirit(Peace, Love, Joy, Patience, Goodness, Kindness, Faith, Self control, Hope)
Prayer Points:
Prayer points:
1- Let us ask the Lord to help us to accept his word and to live by his word.
2- Let us ask the Lord to help us not to live only by the word(logos) but also by the word reveals to us(rhema) that give or restore life.
3- Let us ask the Lord to be our Perfect counselor in time of challenge and in time of decision making.
4- Let us give all the Glory to the Jesus, the cornerstone.
IN THE BEGINNING WAS THE WORD.
