WHAT TYPE OF HEARER, AM I?

Matthew 13:18
Hear ye therefore the parable of the sower.

The parable of the sower teaches us about our nature, what type of believer we are. One common factor about the "anyone" was that "THEY HEARD THE WORD"

Thus the explanation of the parable meant that Jesus was talking to those who have heard the word of God. The question is what happens after we heard?

1. Do we allow the enemy steal it from us because we do not understand it? Matthew 13:19, Hosea 4:6, John 12:40.

2. Do we have enough soil for the root of the word to be grown deep down inside us? The bible said, they received the word with joy, yet no soil for the word to grow, they quickly spring up then die because of tribulation or persecution arising because of the word. What happened to faith, what happened to patience, what happened to careful study and meditation, what happened to prayers. Matthew 13: 20 - 21, 1 Peter2:2, John 8:31.

3. Do we attempt to let the good seed of the word grow with thorns, that is, the cares of the word, deceitfulness of riches, thus choking the word and making us unfruitful. What are the gods we still hang on to? Matthew 13:22, Matthew 6:24, 1John 2:15-17, 2 Corinthians 12:21

OR

4. Did we hear the word, understand it, allow it to die, inside of us, bear strong roots that we may produce fruits?
Matthew 13:23, Luke 8:15, James 1:25, John 15:4-8

We have a deciding factor on what type of soil we are!

Do we have enough patience to read through this devotionals and look up the scriptures?

The parable of the sower does not just talk about new converts but the people in church as a whole, it WAS A WARNING!

Matthew 13:9
 Who hath ears to hear, let him hear.

Mark 4:9
And he said unto them, He that hath ears to hear, let him hear.

Luke 8:8
And other fell on good ground, and sprang up, and bare fruit an hundredfold. And when he had said these things, he cried, He that hath ears to hear, let him hear.

WAKE UP MINISTERS, WAKE UP FATHERS, WAKE UP BELIEVERS, WAKE UP!

We determine our soil. . .

Love
