Well, due to time constrain, I'm just going to blog a very short message.
Luke8:5-8 A sower went out to sow his seed. And as he sowed, some fell by the wayside; and it was trampled down, and the birds of the air devoured it. Some fell on rock; and as soon as it sprang up, it withered away because it lacked moisture. And some fell among thorns, and the thorns sprang up with it and choked it. But others fell on good ground, sprang up, and yielded a crop a hundred fold...He who has ears to hear, let him hear!
Okay, some might be wondering why am I talking about seeds? It's not as if I'm going to teach you how to farm. Seed refers to the word of God!
Those by the wayside are the ones who hears the word of God then the devil comes and takes away the word out of their hearts, lest they should believe and be saved. They don't take the word of God into their heart but just let it be there and let the devil take away so that the devil can take over you without the word of God overcoming him! So, have the word of God in your heart!
Those on the rock are those who, when they hear, receive the word with joy, and these have no root, who believe for a while and in time of temptation fall away. It's like when people tell you the word of God, God's promises and you are like fascinated and happy that God is so good but you do not love God and be rooted to His words so you won't follow God's commandments and etc, therefore you will fall into temptation!
Those who fell among thorns are those who, when they have heard, go out and are choked with cares, riches, and pleasures of life, and bring no fruit of maturity. It's just like you know God, believe in Him and he blesses your life but you do not grow and serve Him but expect him to bless you by just BELIEVE in him only! Sooner or later, the blessing from God will decrease and you will think God treats you no good and you will backslide!
Lastly, those who fell on the good ground are those who, having heard the word with a noble and good heart, keep it and bear fruit with patience. You listen to the word of God and work on it and bring glory to Him, you will grow with the seed and become a strong Christian.
I've made it a point to have the seed to fall on the good ground to grow so what's yours?
