Thursday Rhapsody Of Realities - God's Word Is Seed

Now the parable is this: The seed is the word of God (Luke 8:11).

The Word of God is God’s seed, and like any other seed, it reproduces after its kind. God has a message. If the message is about healing, it’s the seed of healing. If the message is about prosperity, it’s the seed of prosperity. If the message is about God’s promotion in your life, then it’s His seed of promotion. Whatever that message is, it’s God’s seed for producing it in you or for you.

According to Jesus, in the parable of the sower, your heart works like the soil, and God’s Word is the seed (Luke 8:5-11). If your heart receives the seed of God’s Word, it’ll produce. God’s Word is meant for your heart, your spirit, not your mind. If you leave the Word in your mind, it’ll remain in your reasoning faculty and soon enough, it’ll be lost. He wants it to go through your mind, because your mind is the doorway to your spirit.

This is the reason you must not allow your mind to be hostile to the Word; don’t shut your mind against the Word; let it go through happily. Receive the Word always with faith, meekness, and gladness and it’ll produce results in your life.

Furthermore, prepare your heart always for the Word by watering it with prayer, with joy, and with humility; then it’ll have depth in your spirit. When the Word is sown deep inside you, there’ll be no thorn or thistle that can cause the seed to fail. It’ll grow mightily and prevail in you, and against adversities.

Always receive and act on the Word, and watch your life move upward and forward!

PRAYER: Dear Father, I thank you for your Word, which is effective in renewing my mind and transforming my life—spirit, soul, and body. Through meditation, your Word takes root in me, thereby producing in me what it talks about, in Jesus’ Name. Amen.

Luke 8:4-15 And when much people were gathered together, and were come to him out of every city, he spake by a parable: 5 A sower went out to sow his seed: and as he sowed, some fell by the way side; and it was trodden down, and the fowls of the air devoured it. 6 And some fell upon a rock; and as soon as it was sprung up, it withered away, because it lacked moisture. 7 And some fell among thorns; and the thorns sprang up with it, and choked it. 8 And other fell on good ground, and sprang up, and bare fruit an hundredfold. And when he had said these things, he cried, He that hath ears to hear, let him hear. 9 And his disciples asked him, saying, What might this parable be? 10 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. 11 Now the parable is this: The seed is the word of God. 12 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. 13 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. 14 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. 15 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.
