THE SEED FALLS AT ALL TIMES - NAOMI FARAYADE
Sometimes ago, I was having a conversation with a dear sister concerning the act of evangelism, then I inferred that there are still some that are ignorant of the good news, they are in gross darkness concerning the person of Christ. They know not what the free gift of salvation is......... They do not know about that luxury that can never be found in any other kingdom......... Unsaved, They exist..... Like that.
And Even though she was of the same view, she brought to notice, those that hear the good news often but refuse to embrace it...... Or even embrace it, but later backslide........ The Clarion voice is calling... It is saying "The gospel is everywhere, the seed falls at all times, it depends on the ground it falls on. That it is one thing to hear the good news, it is another to listen, it is another to receive it, another to believe it and yet another to embrace it and bring forth good fruits.
Ordinarily speaking, good news is good, no one longs to receive bad news but good news. Everyone welcome good news with joy
The gospel means good news, so how can anyone possibly refuse good news? It is sad but true.
A lot are struggling to maintain their position in the kingdom of Christ, Many believers yearn for what is more than a status quo Christianity, No one want to lose their grip on their salvation or shift their gaze from the person of Christ. No one wants to be cut away like the branch that is not producing fruits..... Meanwhile, it is only a seed that grow that can produce fruits.
Jesus Christ gave a parable concerning the types of grounds that seeds fall on..... And as it is in the times of old, seeds are still falling, but on different grounds. The ones that fall on unsuitable grounds dies off.
Seeds fall on Rocky places. Some receive the good news with their minds not on the word but on the world. These are hearts of stone and not of flesh. They are right from time unyielding, so the seeds don't even germinate before 'birds' pick them up.
Seeds fall on footpaths. For some, receiving the good news is only a matter of time. Since such hearts are footpaths for things that crushes the seed of the good news.... And what has light got to do with darkness? This things matches on the seed, and they die off.
Sometimes too, seeds fall among the thorns, a heart among thorns, is a heart that is a center for things that takes away the seed of the good news with time, and even more especially when the seed is not being watered.
So even if the seeds germinate, the thorns will soon outgrow it and then suffocates it until it dies off.
And then, seeds fall on fertile grounds........ They are being watered daily by the words of God and they grow to bear fruits...... Good fruits
Which produces seeds for another ground.......
Evangelism is an important aspect of Christian life, it is a must assignment for all believers........ It is good for the saved to stand up for the salvation of others.
Christians, we are beaming lighthouses of hope for those in gross darkness.
Let's endeavor to sow seeds at all times and pray for it to fall on a fertile ground.
Reinhard Bonnke said "Not to preach the gospel means that we hide the medicine from the patient"............... The world is sick, and the only medicine is the good news of Christ.
