HIS VOICE:
Memorise: And when the sun was up,they were scorched,and because they have no root,they withered away. Matthew 13:6.
Insight: Luke 8:11-15.
The parable of the sower and the seed is one of the most important parable spoken by the Lord Jesus before his disciples and other multitudes. He opens up the foundation upon which the kingdom is built, not keeping them in ignorance about the meaning of this crucial parable.
While he establish, that this parable is for thier advantage and usefulness, He affirms:" unto you,it is given to know the mystery of the kingdom of heaven,but to them it is not given,he continued clarifying this truth in thier heart, saying, blessed are your eyes,for they see:and your ears,for they hear.
You have been given the right to the deep things of God and your eyes as well as your ears are blessed,you are not dull of hearing,as you belong to Christ.
Explaining the meaning of this parable, He said,the seed is the Word of God,
Some fell at the way side, those are they which hear; then cometh the devil,and taketh away the word out of thier hearts,lest they should believe and be saved. ( Luke 8:12).
The devil has failed concerning you, because the Word has saved you, having grown in your heart.
They that fell on the rock or stony ground are they which when they hear,receive the word with Joy and these have no root,which for a while believe,and in time of temptation fall away (Luke 8:13).
Can you see the Wisdom of God?,revealing that been saved isn't the end of your new creation,the word of God that got you transformed, will require you to stay firm with it to the end without wavering.
Your faith in Christ,will pass through trials because you are in the World but not of this World and the World is against the Word of God.
1 peter 1:7 establishes this:
That the trail of your faith,being much more precious than of gold that perisheth,though it be tried with fire,might be found unto praise and honour and glory at the appearing of Jesus Christ.
James 1:2-3,helps us more saying,
My brethren,count it all joy when ye fall into diverse temptations;
Knowing this,that the trying of your faith worketh patience.
It is therefore necessary that you allow the Word of God have root in you. Because tribulations,persecutions will arise as a result of your faith in Christ and your believe in his name, you can't afford to be offended, and fall out of the Grace of God where in you stand.
Is your ground stony? Break up your fallow ground today.
Pray this:Father, by your grace that makes perfect in weakness,keep me rooted in your word,settled and established,that i will stand still in time of trials and temptation.
