YOU ARE A SOWER


June 5. 

“Listen! A farmer went out to sow his seed. As he was scattering the seed, some fell along the path, and the birds came and ate it up.” -  Mark 4:3-4 NIV

Years back, farmers were digging the ground or making heaps to plant seeds at appropriate positions. Then mechanised farming evolved and machines were used as planting aids.

As words are seeds, anyone who can speak is a farmer. I want us to look at mechanised planting aids that we have now for planting the word.

Mass communication equipment like televisions, radios, and mass communication apps on phones and tablets. You see, someone who wants to scatter a seed word or idea goes on the radio and television to place an advertisement. Through this, he sows the seed of his word to as many people as tune in to the channel. Regular playing of the advert keeps it on people's mouths depending on how interesting it is and it germinates in people's hearts.

Posts on social media apps have the same effect. Posts affect the perception of people over various issues in life as they listen to them. This is why Jesus said we should be careful what we hear and how we hear. Mark 4:24 and Luke 8:18. This is because what we hear especially consistently goes into our heart and grows there to produce itself and more than we hear in our lives. Your life will eventually become a testimony of what you hear. Mass communication equipment are instruments to scatter word seeds. Depending on how your heart is, it germinates well or it is killed.

Let us pray: Dear Father, help me to sow good words at all times and in all places in Jesus name.

 

Numbers 14:28

YOU ARE A CHILD OF PROMISE

   MAY 1.       Acts: 1: 4-5   The days are going so quickly, I remember that Christmas was celebrated not too long ago and here we are celebrating Good Friday and Easter, the most important days in the Church calendar.   The celebration of our Lord Jesus Christ in this season is purposeful and it is from everlasting to everlasting. Some questions come to my mind, what if our Lord Jesus gave up on his disciples who had betrayed and denied him? What if our Lord Jesus Christ rose from the dead and decided to take a holiday from the stressful life he had been through? What if he did not leave us the Holy Spirit, our Comforter? The questions are endless and we sure do not have any answers to all of them and many more. We are the reason why our Lord Jesus Christ did not stop to take a rest and did not deny us, forgiving the thief on the cross.   Today we begin to see the enormity of the work our Lord Jesus Christ did for us, from the cross to...

WHO IS GOD TO YOU

  MAY 2.     Deuteronomy 6:4 Our God is an Amazing, Awesome God, The Creator of Heaven and the Earth, There is no one like Him, none to compare with Him, yes He is a perfect God. He is greater than all that he created, unlimited in nature, infinite and he is the God in three persons.   As you are dressed up to go out of your home, you are attired in all that God created including you yourself. Your clothes are made from cotton, silk, your shoes are made from animal skin, your perfume comes from natural oils, your jewellery comes from metals that are found in layers of soil. As you stand, there is nothing on you that was originally made by you.   All of these products were created by God before He created man and gave man dominion over all that He created. - 1 Corinthians 8:6.   Psalm 14 vs 1 AMP says, “The (spiritually) ignorant says in his heart that There is no God!!”   What do we say to that? Question who is God to you? He is the crea...

HOPE IN THE WORLD

Image
  MAY 3.      Romans:5: 4-5   Hope is not wishful thinking; hope is like making a long wish-list and waiting in great anticipation for each of the things you wished for to come through. You will find yourself marking off all the ones that God has answered.   On who are you hinging your hope on? My hope is built on nothing less than Jesus Christ and righteousness; this is the line of a very popular hymn that we all know. Is it true for you, can you let go and know that He who you hope on will not disappoint you. The faith that our hope has in God is the hope that does not disappoint, it transforms our suffering into endurance and our expectations into joy. This is the hope that all faithful believers enjoy, they have peace with God and they feel very secured. This brings the Christ-like character and the absolute abundant grace in our daily living.   Let Us Pray: Heavenly Father we ask to be filled with joy and peace as we are hopeful of yo...
