The seed contains tremendous potential

ByPastor Rufus Ajiboye Reading Time: 4 minutes
Peace to you, precious children of God! I bless you on this wonderful day and pray that you prosper and be in good health just as your soul prospers.For several days already we have been talking about the power of seed, about the potential that is hidden in it. Yesterday we started discussing the parable of the sower that went out to sow seed. The seed that is sown will certainly bring fruit. But in order for this to happen it is necessary to prepare the ground or the soil. God Himself works in accordance with the principle of sowing. When He wants to accomplish something He sows His seed. When God wants to heal He sows the seed of healing into the person’s life that is in need of healing, and the seed bring forth healing.
«He sent His word and healed them, and delivered them from their destruction.» (Psalm 107:20)
God’s seed is His Word.
«The sower sows the word.» (Мark 4:14)
Our attitude towards God’s Word is very important. God sends His Word into our lives so that His Word would bring to us that which we need. In order for the seed of God’s Word to grow in our hearts, the condition of our hearts is particularly important.
«For as the rain comes down, and the snow from heaven, and do not return there, but water the earth, and make it bring forth and bud, that it may give seed to the sower and bread to the eater, so shall My word be that goes forth from My mouth; it shall not return to Me void, but it shall accomplish what I please, and it shall prosper in the thing which I sent it.» (Isaiah 55:10-11).
God tells us here that there are no problems with His seed. The problem is with what we do to the seed and the preparations we have made in our hearts so that the seed would be sown into the right ground. So, Jesus told the parable of the sower, and afterward He started to explain the different types of soil.
«And these are the ones by the wayside where the word is sown. When they hear, Satan comes immediately and takes away the word that was sown in their hearts. These likewise are the ones sown on stony ground who, when they hear the word, immediately receive it with gladness; and they have no root in themselves, and so endure only for a time. Afterward, when tribulation or persecution arises for the word’s sake, immediately they stumble. Now these are the ones sown among thorns; they are the ones who hear the word, and the cares of this world, the deceitfulness of riches, and the desires for other things entering in choke the word, and it becomes unfruitful.» (Мк.4:15-19)
Dear friends, God can not do anything for us apart from His Word. God’s Word is His seed, and God’s life is hidden in His seed. If we do not seek the understanding of God’s Word then Satan comes and steals the Word. If we are not consistent in the area of reading the Word, meditating on it, practicing it so that it can become rooted in our hearts, – then sorrows, persecution, different problems will pull up the seed of the Word from our hearts and we won’t be able to obtain the anticipated fruit of healing, prosperity and God’s protection. Further Jesus says that if there are any type of weeds in our hearts – love of money and other sinful desires, then they choke the Word and make the seed unfruitful. Dear friends, I want to remind you once again that the seed contains tremendous potential that is capable of changing our lives. But it is important to remember that the condition of our hearts is what determines whether the Word brings forth fruit or not. May God help you to watch over your hearts and keep them clean so that the Word could take root there and bear fruit. Read the Word consistently , meditate on it, implement it into your life so that it can take root and bear abundant fruit. May no sorrow, or persecution nor trouble be able to choke God’s Word out of our lives!God bless you! Pastor Rufus Ajiboye

    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.

  • Do not be discouraged if you feel like God hasn’t yet answered your prayer, keep praying!

    Maybe you are praying to God and it seems to you that the answer isn’t going to come, maybe you feel like giving up on prayer, you think that prayer doesn’t work. I’ve spoken to people who were praying for a long time and started to disbelieve in the power of prayer as the answers were not immediate. The example of Canaanite woman shows us that it is wrong to think that there is no point in asking God for help. I would like to reassure you that your prayer is heard today! Even today there is magnificent power in prayer!

  • What are you doing with your promotion?

    AutorsPastor Rufus Ajiboye Reading Time: 3 minutes
    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.

    This Scripture tells us that the people had one goal, they had one language, and they put forth a unified effort, and it says about them that “now nothing that they propose to do will be withheld from them”. God said that because of their unity they would be successful in everything that they do. In the Bible God often speaks to His people about unity. Unity is a very important key that allows us as God’s people or the Church to fulfill the will of God and our calling in this earth.

    «…Write the vision, and make it plain on tablets, that he may run who reads it.» (Habakkuk 2:2).Make notes of everything you believe in, everything that God speaks to your heart during prayer, fasting or Bible studies on the paper! For example, you may say: “I wish I could preach the word of God followed by miracles and wondrous things”, or “I wish I could bring relief to orphans by giving some of them a shelter in my house”, or ”I want to establish a school for those who would minister in the church”.
