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!

  • Suffering as a method of discipline II

    My responsibility is to live a worthy life and to walk in obedience before the Lord. If I become disobedient, then according to the Bible my Heavenly Father corrects and disciplines me. To discipline is to correct for moral perfection. That is why the Bible says:«As many as I love, I rebuke and chasten. Therefore be zealous and repent» (Revelation, 3:19).
  • What are the grounds or foundations of favour? II

    Through faith in Jesus Christ we become clothed in his righteousness and nature. In the our spirit we have the perfect character of the Almighty God even though we do not become perfect in our actions immediately after becoming followers of Jesus. We reflect God’s life, character and thoughts more and more in our lives to that extent to which we submit ourselves to the new nature in our spirit. Our daily submission to God’s nature and character in us is what I call practical righteousness that qualifies us for God’s favour.
  • Our highest calling – to reveal God in our flesh

    The Bible says: «For the law was given through Moses, but grace and truth came through Jesus Christ. No one has seen God at any time. The only begotten Son, who is in the bosom of the Father, He has declared Him» (John, 1:17-18).The law can never save people because the law only reveals the sinful nature of man. The law was given in order for people to realize their need for God and His help. It was Jesus who brought to us the truth and the grace that conveys spiritual power necessary to live in accordance with God’s will. Anyone who will accept this truth and grace will have the power to live a holy life and become an instrument in God’s hand that is able to manifest or declare God’s truth and grace to other people.
  • We have to be ready to go wherever God sends us to

    As we concluded yesterday, we have to become obedient disciples, so that our families, our church and our towns can be stirred. God uses obedient disciples to fulfil His prophesies and restore His will on Earth. Even more, we have to be ready to go wherever God sends us to. Thus we can fulfil our calling. Obedience to call begins with obedience to short instructions God gives to us through His word and our leaders in Christ.It´s also important to know that Jesus knows everything, He possesses all hidden information, necessary for our mission. That´s why obedience to the Lord who knows everything is vitally important! When Jesus had a need for a donkey to ride upon to Jerusalem, He knew where to find the animal. He knew where to go and find that donkey. He knew how to bring that donkey to Him.
  • We are the new creation in Christ Jesus, made for good deeds the Lord has determined for us II

    «For by grace you have been saved through faith, and that not of yourselves; it is the gift of God, not of works, that no one would boast. For we are his workmanship, created in Christ Jesus for good works, which God prepared before that we would walk in them.»(Ephesians 2:8-10).Here we can see that person is not made righteous by his deeds. God never declares somebody righteous by his many good works. Vice verse, God makes righteous those who accept His gift by faith, namely Christ Jesus. A person becomes good in God´s eyes by faith when he believes in good works God has done in Christ.
  • The importance of favouring the Kingdom of God II

    «..being confident of this very thing, that He who has begun a good work in you will complete it until the day of Jesus Christ» (Philippians, 1:6).Why was Paul so confident that the Lord will complete the good work He has begun in the lives of believers? If you pay careful attention to the context, you will see that his confidence is based upon the attitude of these people towards the work of God.In the beginning of his letter Paul said that these people had been preaching the Gospel from the very beginning of their walk with God.
