The law of harvest and multiplication II

Dārgie draugi, es svētīju jūs šai dienā un lūdzu par to, lai acīmredzama Dieva klātbūtne pavada jūs visas šīs dienas garumā.

Vakar mēs uzsākām sarunu par spēku un potenciālu, kas apslēpts sēklā.
Šodien es gribētu sākt sīkāk izskatīt Jēzus līdzību, kura aprakstīta Marka evaņģēlija 4. nodaļā. Sāksim izskatīt līdzību par sējēju.

„Klausaities: raugi sējējs izgāja sēt. Un notika, sējot cita sēkla krita ceļmalā, un putni nāca un to apēda.Un cita krita uz akmenāju, kur tai nebija daudz zemes, un tā uzdīga tūdaļ, tāpēc, ka tai nebija dziļas zemes. Bet, kad saule bija uzlēkusi, tad tā savīta un nokalta, tāpēc, ka tai nebija saknes. Un cita krita starp ērkšķiem, un ērkšķi uzauga un to nomāca, un tā nenesa augļus. Un cita krita labā zemē un nesa augļus, kas uzdīga un augtin auga, un cita nesa trīsdesmitkārtīgi, cita sešdesmitkārtīgi un cita simtkārtīgi”(Marka, 4:3-8).

Šai līdzībā Jēzus stāsta par to, kas notiek ar sēklām, kuras mēs iesējam. Jēzus vērš mūsu uzmanību uz to, ka pirms sēšana ir svarīgi sagatavot augsni. Tas, ka Dievs mums iedevis sēklu, nenozīmē, ka varam kaisīt šo sēklu, kur vien vēlamies. Tas, ka Dievs mums iedevis sēklu, nenozīmē, ka mums nav jābūt apdomīgiem attiecībā uz to, kur sējam šo sēklu.
Augsne – tas ir mūsu sirds prototips, un Dievs norāda mums uz to, cik svarīgi ir sagatavot savu sirdi Dieva Vārda sēklas uzņemšanai, jo tā spēj glābt mūsu dvēseli un mainīt mūsu dzīvi.

Jēzus deva arī šīs līdzības skaidrojumu.

„Sējējs sēj vārdu”. (Marka, 4:14)

Sējējs izgāja sēt sēklu, bet sēkla – tas ir Dieva Vārds. Dieva Vārds kā sēkla nes sevī visu varenumu, visu Dievišķīgo dzīvi, radošo spēku, kurš spēj pārveidot jebkuru cilvēku un jebkuru situāciju. Šī sēkla tiek sēta mūsu sirdīs, tāpēc tik svarīgs ir mūsu sirds stāvoklis. Ja vēlamies, lai Dieva Vārds nestu augļus mūsu dzīvē, ir svarīgi tam sagatavot savu sirdi un aizvākt visu, kas var padarīt neefektīvu Dieva Vārda darbību un ietekmi mūsu dzīvē.
Rīt mēs runāsim par to, kādā veidā mēs varam sagatavot savu sirdi tā, lai Dieva Vārds spētu atnest reālus augļus mūsu dzīvē.

Lai Dievs jūs svētī!
Līdz rītdienai!

  • God helps us to develop compassion towards other people through the ministry as well

    It is true that ministry transforms us into the likeness of God. Since God is graceful and compassionate in His essence, then we His children should be able to show to others the grace and compassion of our Heavenly Father and we do that by serving other people. Earlier on, we already mentioned that God’s desire is to transform us into the image and the likeness of Christ so that we can begin to reflect the quality of character that Jesus had. It was Christ who came to reveal God to us so that we can follow in His steps. We know that changes automatically do not occur; changes or transformation happen only as we implement the laws and principles of God into our life. Ministry is one tremendous way we can do that; it is one of the many tools, God uses to mold and transform us into likeness of Christ.
  • Preparation of the way of the Lord II

    Yesterday we started talking about God’s desire to demonstrate His glory and fullness in our lives; for this to happen we have to prepare our hearts and to prepare the way of the Lord. We have to cleanse our hearts from the things that God hates and cannot look upon.The following verses from the Scripture reveal the principle of preparation the way of the Lord.«In those days John the Baptist came preaching in the wilderness of Judea, and saying, “Repent, for the kingdom of heaven is at hand!” For this is he who was spoken of by the prophet Isaiah, saying: “The voice of one crying in the wilderness: ‘Prepare the way of the LORD; make His paths straight.’”» (Mathew, 3:1-3).
  • Ministry changes a selfish person into a loving, compassionate servant of the Lord

    It is not a secret that we are all born selfish. Someone might argue and say that does not apply to him or that he is not selfish. If you say that then you are lying! We are all selfish, except the transforming grace of God!What does it mean to be selfish?· A selfish person is one who lives only for himself. He only cares about his world and does not notice what is happening to others around him. A selfish person is only concerned about his life and his comforts.
  • Purpose for living V

    After Solomon forsook God for a season, he tried to find happiness and satisfaction in different things and activities. We see that Solomon made several attempts which all lead to disappointment. For a wise person Solomon’s experience can become good lesson in what the wrong ways to happiness are. We mentioned that Solomon sought happiness in education and knowledge, in fun and pleasures, in beauty, in works of men’s hands. Afterwards he came to a conclusion that despite the fact that all these things are important and necessary for living, none of them can make us happy, if God is excluded from our life. Solomon said that everything under the sun is vanity and grasping for the wind. Solomon’s conclusion was that everything that happens under the sun is vanity and grasping for the wind – if apart from God.
  • THE GOAL OF DISCIPLINE IS REPENTANCE OF PRODIGAL SONS AND THEIR RETURN TO HOME

    «As many as I love, I rebuke and chasten. Therefore be zealous and repent» (Revelation, 3:19). Repentance is the right reaction to discipline! Sin never is just one’s personal business, so to speak. Sin is not something you do to yourself; sin is something that inevitably affects others.
  • The example of accountability in the life of apostle Paul

    Who was Paul? He is the greatest apostle ever, one who wrote 2/3 of the New Testament. He had access to the revelations like nobody else. He got to know God more than any other apostles.«Regard the patience of our Lord as salvation; even as our beloved brother Paul also, according to the wisdom given to him, wrote to you». (2nd Peter 3:15).
