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

  • Your gift will make room for you! IV

    In the Gospel of Mathew Jesus told a parable about Master giving his servants different talents. «For the kingdom of heaven is like a man travelling to a far country, who called his own servants and delivered goods to them. And to one he gave five talents, to another two, and to another one, to each according to his own ability; and immediately he went on a journey» (Mathew, 25: 14-15). Jesus shows us here that the criterion of His assessment is not quantity, but faithfulness. God know that every one of us has different abilities, so the quantitative result will be different for different people. Numbers are not important to Jesus; He cares about how faithful you have been with what God has given you. He cares about your attitude towards His work.

  • What are you doing with your promotion?

    Promotion is connected to the issue of wealth, and we are not talking just about money. Riches are more than money. Health, joy, good relationships, peace, rest, and love – those too are riches. Many people have lots of money, but they lack true riches. God tells us today not to be haughty and not trust in material things; we need to trust God alone. We should be generous and sociable. When problems come, God is the only One Who can help us. Trust God and do good works. By doing this, you will draw God’s attention and earn God’s promotion.

    Usually, we never dedicate time to something unless we realise its advantage and strict necessity for us. When we realise what we are losing by not understanding and hearing God’s voice, then we can become zealous and motivated to do our best in order to dedicate time and attention to it. You must understand that satan is a thief and given a smallest chance he will take away all our privileges and opportunities in God.
