The law of harvest and multiplication

Peace be unto you, dear friends! I greet you on this wonderful day and pray that God assists you in all your endeavors and grants you success in everything you do today. Today I will like to begin a new theme: „The law of harvest and multiplication”.As a base we will use a passage from Mark chapter 4, where Jesus Himself was speaking in parables. In this chapter there are three parables, through which Jesus explains the power and the potential hidden in a small seed. First I would like to simply recount these parables, but later we will look at each of them in more detail. The first parable that Jesus talked about is the parable of the sower. This parable shows that there is a whole list of obstacles that make it difficult for seeds to grow and bear fruit. In this parable, Jesus went ahead to show us three types of obstacles which can impede the growth of the seeds that we sow. (Mark 4:3-20) Afterward Jesus told the parable of growing seeds, which is written in Mark (4:26-29). The purpose of this parable is to show us that, if we sow our seeds and, while doing so, remove all the unnecessary hindrances for the growth of these seeds, then an invariable rule comes into effect – these seeds, independently from us, will surely grow. We only need to do our part – sow the seeds and clear the obstacles in the way – then these seeds will certainly grow. The next parable, told by Jesus, is the parable of a mustard seed (Mark 4:31-32). In this parable Jesus tells us of the potential hidden in a tiny seed. The potential in even the smallest of seeds is enormous. A small seed can become a vast garden. It doesn’t matter, how small our seeds are; what is important is what we do with them. If we sow our seeds, then there is a high probability that these seeds will grow and bear magnificent fruit. Today I want us to think about the fact that there is great power in a seed. The Bible tells us that God created everything with its own seed inside of it.
‘And God said, “Let the earth sprout vegetation, plants yielding seed, and fruit trees bearing fruit in which is their seed, each according to its kind, on the earth.” And it was so. The earth brought forth vegetation, plants yielding seed according to their own kinds, and trees bearing fruit in which is their seed, each according to its kind. And God saw that it was good.’ (Genesis 1:11-12)
My dear friends, from the very beginning of our lives, God has given us seeds, and these seeds are God’s instruments for your influence, for your greatness, for your blessings. These seeds will determine your future. It is very important, what you do with the seeds that God has given you. We will speak of this in more detail tomorrow.May God bless you and may you walk in His peace! Pastor Rufus Ajiboye

  • God’s desire for our faith not to be based on the wisdom of man, the wisdom of this age, but on the wisdom of God!

    Only God’s wisdom is meant to bring us into the place of glory. The wisdom of God glorifies and exalts us. It is very important for us to open up our hearts and to receive God’s wisdom. Today we often hear about Chinese wisdom, Russian wisdom, Babylonian wisdom etc. But how wonderful it is that we have been given God’s wisdom! The wisdom of God is the highest form of wisdom for all the living. Only this wisdom is able to transform human life, changing it from within (from inside out). That is why God wants our faith to be based on His wisdom and not the wisdom of men.
  • What is compassion?

    We must understand that Jesus’ disciples were not perfect; quite the opposite, they are ordinary people with „character issues”. Jesus did not wait until they become perfect, but sent them out to serve people. He did not have anybody else to send; so He worked with what He had. And He is calling us to do the same today; it applies to every one who considers himself to be His disciple. Jesus desires for God’s children to be filled with compassion and to help people allowing God to touch all the people around them with His love.If we see someone perishing physically because of some illness, we do everything to save him. We often do not realize that unsaved people are spiritually ill, that they are perishing and need salvation. We must do everything in our power to save them. So our hearts need to go out to them with love and compassion.
  • The more we collaborate with God, the more prophecies we will see fulfilled

    What does it mean to be stirred? When such things happen due to the changes taking place in people and through people the latter can´t remain indifferent to God any more. Nowadays people live wrapped in their problems, immersed in their own world, as though there is no God at all. They use some duty phrases in their speech like “For God´s sake”, “Thanks God”, but there is no God in their hearts at all. It happens to them just because they have never experienced the real God in their lives. God is a care taking father. Such people have not felt how real the God is, how powerful and Almighty Creator He is.
