The Seed of God’s Word

The Seed of God’s Word

Luke 8:15  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. (KJV)

Let the seed of God’s Word take deep root in your heart, then your life will be fruitful.

In this uncertain world, nothing can be more important than taking time on a regular basis to plant God’s Word in your heart.  Nothing has the ability to truly change us like the seed of God’s Word.  God’s word keeps our priorities in line and gives us peace and purpose.

 It is important to understand the parable of the sower and the seed in Luke 8.

Jesus said if we didn’t understand this parable, we would have a hard time understanding all the parables he would teach.  This parable contained important spiritual principles.

  • The seed sown by the wayside.

  • God wants everyone to hear the Word of God, but not everyone receives it.
  • The devil wants to steal the seed of the word of God from people before they have the chance to truly understand and become rooted in God’s Word.
  • We should remember to pray for young believers. Remember they immediately come under attack of the devil.
  • When we hear God’s Word regarding any topic, not just salvation, we should take time to meditate upon it. We should make our best efforts to really understand.  Seek God for understanding.  Don’t let the devil steal a blessing from you.

 

  • The seed sown on rocky ground.

  • The people here received God’s Word with great joy. The word of God is good news.
  • These people did not process the Word in their hearts and let the seed of God’s word take deep root in them.
  • They only believed for a while. They weren’t committed to the Word.
  • In times of temptation or testing, they don’t follow the Word of God.

 

  •    The seed sown among thorns.

    The people here received God’s Word and believe.\

  • But they are distracted. They worry about things of this life.  They focus on becoming rich and having fun.
  • They are not able to be all that God intended for them to be.

  • The seed sown on good ground.

  • The good ground is honest, good-hearted people. They are people motivated by the love of God.
  • After they hear God’s word, they keep it. They protect the seed of God’s word in their hearts.  They consider God’s Word to be the most important thing in the world to them.  They meditate upon God’s Word and let his Word root deeply in their hearts.
  • They bring forth fruit with patience. They are patient.  They are committed to the things of God for a lifetime.
  • God is able to do in them, all that he wants to do. Some bring forth 30, some 60 and some 100 times.

 

  • God’s Word is Alive

  • God’s word is living and powerful. Sometimes people try to change themselves and it doesn’t work, but if they just fill their hearts with the seed of God’s word, they would find their lives transforming without all of the struggle.
  • Just like newborn babies desire milk, we are to desire the milk of God’s word in order to grow by it.

 

The Seed of God’s Word once it is deeply rooted is a powerful force.

The seed of God’s word was so deeply rooted in the apostles that they spread the gospel all over the then known world and most of them suffered or were martyred because of the message.   The apostle Paul the day after being stoned and raised up by God, immediately went to the next town and preached the Gospel.

If we let the seed of God’s Word take deep root in us, we also will be busy about our Father’s business and complete his work for us.
