The Seed of the Word
Devotions:
Many times we pray for something and we do not receive the answer that we prayed for. Jesus said that what we ask for we would receive. When we do not receive many times it is because of lack of faith. We think that we have faith when we really have mental agreement on the subject. We will say that it is true but then we wonder why it is not true for us. Many time we are too lazy to build a robust faith. Faith comes by hearing and hearing by the Rhema of Christ (word of Christ). As we abide in Jesus and His words abide in us we can ask what we will and it will be done for us. The secret then is to abide in the word of God and all ow it to build faith in us. Jesus said that word of God acted like a seed. We must water the seed and meditate upon it so that it is not just a superficial understanding. We need to allow it to put roots deep down into our soul by dwelling on it in our thinking and pondering it. We then need to continuously pay attention to the word of promise and not allow over things choke the word in our life. As we do these things the word will produce. If we are not getting a crop then we need to see if we are taking care of our garden. God has created us so that the garden of our souls will produce when the seed of the word of God in introduced and properly taken care of. Stay in the word until you see the 30, 60 and 100 fold increase come and give you what you are believing for.
“If anyone does not abide in me he is thrown away like a branch and withers; and the branches are gathered, thrown into the fire, and burned.”
John 15:6 ESV
