Devotion: God Gives Seed

Most of you are familiar with “The Parable Of The Sower.”  Jesus explains the parable to his disciples this way.

“And his disciples asked him, saying, What might this parable be?  And he said, Unto you it is given to know the mysteries of the kingdom of God: but to others in parables; that seeing they might not see, and hearing they might not understand.  Now the parable is this: The seed is the word of God.  Those by the way side are they that hear; then cometh the devil, and taketh away the word out of their hearts, lest they should believe and be saved.  They on the rock 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.  And that which fell among thorns are they, which, when they have heard, go forth, and are choked with cares and riches and pleasures of this life, and bring no fruit to perfection.  But that on the good ground are they, which in an honest and good heart, having heard the word, keep it, and bring forth fruit with patience” (Luke 8:9-15).

Jesus went on to explain the meaning of the parable.  The seed represents God’s message to men, which falls on all types of ground.  The ground is a representation of the hearts of man.  Some seeds fell on the roadside, which represents those with hard hearts who hear the words, but then the devil comes and steels the message away, which prevents them from believing and being saved.  Some seeds fell on the stony ground, which represents those who enjoy listening to sermons, but somehow the message never really gets through to them.  Some seeds fell among the thorns, which represents those who listen and believe God’s words, but the message is choked out by the cares of the world and their quest for money.  Some seeds fell on good ground, which represents those who are honest and good-hearted people that have ears to hear.  And it was those who are honest and good-hearted people that have ears to hear that listens to God’s message with open minds and in the right spirit.

“The word of God is a seed” and it gets planted in the hearts of man.  Depending on the heart of the man, depending on the type of soil available, the seed will grow differently in each heart.  Many believe themselves to be that honest and good-hearted people, who have ears to hear God’s message with open minds and in the right spirit, however the truth of the matter is that they are those, who actually hear the words of God without understanding.  They have the wisdom that comes from the world, not the wisdom that comes from God.  Know this about the word of God.  The word of God is a single seed that produces a single crop; it is not a seed that produces a variety of crops.  The word of God does not and cannot produce a variety of truths; it produces only one truth, which is “the gospel truth.”  If you be among them who have an ear to hear, then hear this revelation, understand and let it produce a crop.

“As the rain and snow come down from heaven and stay upon the ground to water the earth, and cause the grain to grow and to produce seed for the farmer and bread for the hungry, so also is my word.  I send it out, and it always produces fruit.  It shall accomplish all I want it to and prosper everywhere I send it” (Isaiah 55:10-11 TLB).

God has said that “his word will not return to him void.”  God says that his word will always produce fruit.  God says that his word will accomplish all that he wants it to accomplish.  And God says that his word will prosper everywhere he has sent it.  God’s word has the power to create, if you could only believe.  Imagine the words that you speak being like the seeds that the farmer sows into his fields.  And like the farmer, the words that you speak will produce a crop much like the one that is produced from the seeds that he plants in his fields.  Whatever a person plants will be what that person reaps (Galatians 6:7).  Remember, God says that his word will always produce fruit and that it will accomplish all that he wants it to accomplish.  If we plant the words of God, then the promises of God are what we will reap and we will reap them in their full measure.  On the other hand, if we plant something other than the word of God, then we will reap something else entirely different than the promises of God and we will reap them in their full measure.

As for us, we choose to believe, to believe in the power of his word, so we plant the seed that God gives us much like the farmer who plants his seed in the ground.  We have chosen to place our faith in God and in his seed, “for with God nothing shall be impossible.”  Jesus makes it very clear that those things that seem impossible with man are not impossible to God, for “with God all things are possible.”  Faith in God makes all things possible.  More importantly, faith in “the word of God, in his seed” makes all things possible.  If you be among them who have an ear to hear, then hear this revelation, understand and let it produce a crop.

We always give thanks to God for the ability to share these inspirational messages with you.  We constantly pray that you will be blessed as well as informed by our messages and that you will be the better for having read them.  If you are blessed by any of them, please share so that others may be blessed as well.  Amen.
