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!
Mācītājs Rufus Adžiboije

Some people never accept answer “No” at all. Those who dare say “No” to them become enemies of such people. Sometimes we are not able to accept negative answer from God too.Apostle Paul wrote in his letter about a thorn in his flesh used by the angel of satan to inflict pain on him. Paul prayed for three times for removal of it, but God said “No!” Didn´t Paul remain in God and the word of God in him?

  • The wisdom of repentance II

    David talks about the obvious advantages that are available to a person after he has confessed his sins.1. Supernatural freedom from guilt and condemnation.« I acknowledged my sin to You, and my iniquity I have not hidden. I said, „I will confess my transgression to the Lord,” and You forgave the iniquity of my sin» (Psalm 32:5). Right after we confess our sins God takes away from us the burden of guilt. When our own hearts condemn us, when we experience the guilt caused by our sins, it is extremely hard to boldly go before Godi n prayer. Feelings of guilt destroy our confidence. So, in order for us to get rid of the guilt we need to repent of our sins.

  • The sample of effective prayer

    In order to pray effectively one needs a sample. Christian life is a spiritual life, therefore, connection with Heaven is vitally important. Our God is a spirit, but we all live on Earth, so we need to stay connected with God. There are only two ways of having fellowship with God – The word of God and a prayer. The God speaks to us through His word. The word of God is His revelation about God himself. Neither you can create the character of God by yourself nor you can imagine what kind of person He is, because you can easily fail getting it right. The God tells us in His word about who He is, what He can do and how He acts.

  • When we pray, invisible chains that bind people suddenly fall off! II

    You may ask why people act the way they act? Why don’t people sometimes understand very elementary things? Why do people hear the truth, but do not change? There are invisible things that keep people in bondage. There are strongholds that cannot be destroyed by teaching, sermons, instructions and lectures. They are spiritual things. What happens when the church prays? These strongholds collapse and some real changes take place. We cannot afford not to pray and try to admonish other people; usually people listen to us, say that they understand, but do the same thing all over again.

  • What are you doing with your talent? II

    The world is changing very rapidly. I am convinced that new changes will come into our lives with an increasing speed. If I told you about different predictions and ideas that experts have about our future, then the hearts of many people would be filled with fear. One pastor spoke to me about it and I saw his heart getting filled with fear after hearing all the predictions. He asked me what to do with all of it; is it worth making big plans if all these terrible things are inevitably coming upon the earth? I told him that – thank God – we have the Bible that contains all the answers.
