The Seeds We Plant


Matt.13:18-23
18 "Hear then the parable of the sower: 
19 When anyone hears the word of the kingdom and does not understand it, the evil one comes and snatches away what has been sown in his heart. This is what was sown along the path. 
20 As for what was sown on rocky ground, this is the one who hears the word and immediately receives it with joy, 
21 yet he has no root in himself, but endures for a while, and when tribulation or persecution arises on account of the word, immediately he falls away. 
22 As for what was sown among thorns, this is the one who hears the word, but the cares of the world and the deceitfulness of riches choke the word, and it proves unfruitful. 
23 As for what was sown on good soil, this is the one who hears the word and understands it. He indeed bears fruit and yields, in one case a hundredfold, in another sixty, and in another thirty."

God has indeed given us a mission, to go and make disciples. It is not ours to question but to go! The time is here and now, in your own land or maybe in an unfamiliar place. His word is the seed that can lead to salvation. If we live it, if we teach it, if we share it, He alone will bring in the harvest! Our prayer and study of His word is our cherished weapon against Satan. Christ has defeated Satan already!
Lord, teach us to be doers not just hearers. Amen
