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

  • The steps God takes in disciplining us II

    If we listen to the conviction of the Holy Spirit that is communicated through the people God sends to us to correct us and repent of our sins, then He stops all the judgments. But, if we continue in our stubbornness and resist Him, God allows more trouble in our lives in order to show us that there are spiritual problems in us that we need to resolve. If after that we still resist Him and refuse to humble ourselves before Him, then He increases penalties. God does that because He loves us and does not want any of His children to perish.

  • God’s Word is a sword

    You and I are in the middle of spiritual battle and we need the weapon that would help us fight and overcome the enemy. God’s Word is His weapon, His sword. If the Word is in us, we will always be able to easily overcome temptation, sin and enemy.If God’s Word abides in us, we will be able to say as Jesus said: «It is written! It is written! It is written!» But if you are not ‘in shape’ and do not know what is written in the Word, you won’t have the necessary courage to proclaim God’s Word over your life and situation.

  • How do we make sure that the Word of God abides in us?

    Why are there so much fear, panic, disappointment, weariness and tiredness in the lives of many believers? It is because the Word of God does not abide in them. God wants us to be filled with the Word. When we read the word of God with the understanding that we need the word daily as our source of light and direction, then we are motivated to do read it even more. Since I want to be spiritually strong and able to overcome the wicked one, I want to have the understanding of God’s purpose for my life, I want His direction as to how to carry out my assignment and I want to walk in purity in my life – and for this very reason I read God’s Word and study it on a regular basis.

  • A person must be filled with the Word and live by every word that proceeds out of the mouth of God

    People “dull of hearing” are not the ones who do not listen at all; they are the ones who are not able to grasp and comprehend.When we feed on God’s Word, this Word helps us grow spiritually. When we do not do it, we stay spiritual babies. Looking at some churches we can see that they are full of spiritual babies. This situation does not bring joy to God, because He can’t rely on spiritual babies.

  • Habit is a compilation of knowledge, skills and willingness

    Knowledge is an understanding of theory of what we have to do and why. In order to make something as your habit you need to understand the theoretical aspects of such necessity. How is it connected to our praying life? Let me explain that. We acquire knowledge by reading the Bible, Word of God. We know why we have to pray, then we can make a habit of praying, just because we know what we have to do. We should pray without ceasing – I know this and so I do why. Let me elaborate on it. Awareness of what I gain or lose by having a particular habit helps us to develop that habit.

  • God’s Word is spiritual food

    God wants us to be strong and healthy not only physically, but also spiritually. We do not need ‘spiritual fasts’. We can have physical fasts in order to gain spiritual power. But in order to become spiritually strong, we should daily feed on the Word. If you do not do it, you get weaker as a believer; you get weaker in your judgments and in your faith.When we get weaker we must ‘eat’ spiritually; that is what God’s Word is there for: «…as newborn babes, desire the pure milk of the word, that you may grow thereby» (1 Peter, 2:2).
