Don't Wait Until You Die!

In Matthew 13, Mark 4 and Luke 8 we find parallel accounts of the parable Jesus told about a sower and the seed he spread. Having this message recounted 3 times something becomes abundantly clear. Jesus told and explained this parable so we would know what’s necessary for the “Kingdom of God” to manifest itself in our daily lives.

Jesus point blank declared the purpose of this parable is to teach us how the kingdom of heaven or God works.
Matt 13:11 says “it is given unto you to know the mysteries of the kingdom of heaven”
Mark 4:11 says “Unto you it is given to know the mystery of the kingdom of God”
Luke 8:10 Says “Unto you it is given to know the mysteries of the kingdom of God”
Jesus said because you are my disciples I’m explaining to you how the kingdom works.

Believers, even though we are living in the nasty now and now we’re not just waiting on the sweet by and by. Jesus wanted us to understand how the kingdom works so we could begin receiving the graces of the kingdom of God here and now.

Receiving and walking in these kingdom graces is what’s called living and abundant life. Jesus said he came so we could have life (eternal life) and have it more abundantly (abundant life now). This concept of abundant life now is proved out in this parable of the sower. In Matt 13:12 Jesus says “For whosoever hath, to him shall be given, and he shall have more abundance:” Jesus was saying this parable was being given because he wants us to live an abundant life filled with kingdom Graces now!

So…How does kingdom abundance occur? Simple. It occurs when we get some seed that produces life giving kingdom graces in our life. Once we have the seed we must plant it in good soil. All we have to do then is make sure it’s watered, keep the weeds out and the seed will produce what it is intended to produce.

Luke 8:11 leaves no doubt what the seed is that will produce kingdom graces in out lives. It says “the seed is the word of God”. If the seed is the word of God then the word of God is seed! Matthew 13:19 refers to the seed as “the word of the Kingdom”. Therefore we can say the word of God is kingdom seed. My friend there is only one thing kingdom seed can produce. Kingdom fruit!

Are you tired of stress, worry, doubts, fears, pain, and lack? If so just grow some peace, love, joy, gentleness, longsuffering, goodness, provision. Get into Gods printed word and find some “kingdom seed” that will grow what you need.

Far too many believers are crying for the Father to relieve them of their troubles thinking the Father should just waive a wand and make everything OK. Waiting on the Father to fix our trouble when we have done nothing is not how the kingdom works. If we need peace we must expend the energy to get some peace producing “kingdom seed”, plant it, water it and weed it. This is the only way for Kingdom peace to manifest itself in our lives. Jesus said believers planting “kingdom seed” in their lives is what’s required to produce 30, 60 and 100 fold kingdom graces in their lives now. Don’t wait one more day for the sweet by and by. Don’t spend one more day wishing the Father would intervene. The Father has already intervened. He gave you the seed you need to grow the answer. One benefit of being in the family of God Is we can have all the seed we want. It’s been paid for!

Hear, Receive and Do the word. If we don’t expend the energy and effort to get some “word seed” and plant it in good soil we’ll be waiting until we die to begin walking in kingdom graces.
