Mark 4:1-25
Are your seeds still in the barn or have you taken them out for planting? All who proclaim Christ as their personal Savior are to plant the good seed every day. What type of Farmer are you? We all hold a Farmer position. Some may hold more than one. Whatever the case, find out your position and go to work. The TILLER
What do tillers do? Break the ground, stir up the soil, prepare the ground for planting or do they bring confusion? Use your tools wisely. It could be a verbal testimony, a song, how people see your life, your witness. Use your tools carefully so as not to destroy the plants. What may work on one may not work on another and some may respond quicker. The SOWER
Do you plant the seeds and lay the foundation? Some of the seeds must be laid in mass; objective is to get as much seed out as possible. Not all of the seeds may grow, do not fret if it doesn't grow. The Lord instructed to sow, growing depends on the condition of the heart. The WATERER
Do you nurture, feed, and take care of what or where the seed is planted? Too much water and the seeds drown, not enough and they dry up. Don't deprive the soil of what it needs, food and water. If the soil is receptive to what you've planted and you see it growing, tend to it. It could be an older Christian tending to a younger one. The REAPER
Do we gather the harvest or cut it down before it's had time to grow? Have we waited too long, and it has dried up and dead? Many are searching for the Word, looking for answers to their life. Show them Jesus, bring them to Him. Don't act hastily and overpower it, give it time to grow but don't wait too long and let it die. Who is the sower? We are. What is the seed? The Word of God. What is the soil? The world. There are plenty of people waiting to hear the Word. We should not make excuses, look around, and we’ll find someone eager to listen to the Word of God. God will use us in one way or another or maybe in all aspects of farming. We should be prepared to work. We could be the one to lead someone to Christ.
