Luke 8:4-8 (NKJV)

The Parable of the Sower

4 And when a great multitude had gathered, and they had come to Him from every city, He spoke by a parable: 5 “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. 6 Some fell on rock; and as soon as it sprang 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 But others fell on good ground, sprang up, and yielded a crop a hundredfold.” When He had said these things He cried, “He who has ears to hear, let him hear!”

As we see in the passage the sower threw some seeds and where the seeds fell shows how much crops grown.Think about it, God is the sower and has people to throw some seeds for Him (Churches, Pastors, Elders, Ministries and many more). It's all how you have recieved the message (seeds).

People may neglect the message that God wants you to have, you may not want the message and leave it wayside (vs. 5).

Sometimes the message is so good that you take that message and go with it. They may grow so quickly and have that zeal for God, but sometimes that zeal quickly stops. Sometimes, that zeal dies and thier walk with God falls asleep. They go and take that message but fail to have the fellowship and forgetting to keep on going back to the original source. They gladly accept that message but endure that for only a time and when trial and tribulation comes, they may stumble. (vs. 6)

For the people who hear the word and grow with the thorns are the people who care for this world and the world's riches. (vs. 7)

And for the people that the seeds fell on the good ground, are the people who know the word. The people who hears the word and accept it. The people who bears the fruit of the spirit. (vs. 8)

So, what kind of seed do you have? Please, think about it.

God Bless You.
