RELATE WITH THE WORD AS SEED
Now the parable is this: The seed is the word of God— Luke 8:11
In our opening scripture, the Lord Jesus was decoding to the disciples the parable of the sower He had just shared with the people. He lets us know that the “seed” in the parable stands for the word of God. You have to learn to relate with God’s word as seed. Just like seed produces after its kind, so does the word of God. God’s word has power to bring about a harvest of what it talks about. Your life is meant to be the manifested consolidated harvest of the Word of God you have been receiving. Just like a farmer is intentional with seed to get the maximum benefit, you too have to be intentional with the Word of God. How intentional are you with the Word of God? The Word of God should not always be something you meet along the way. Be intentional and deliberate about it through your scheduled learning and studying of the Word of God. Proverbs 8:34 affirms the blessedness of those with this attitude: “Blessed is the one who listens to me, watching daily at my gates, waiting beside my doors”. Every word you receive has the power to accomplish what it says. That is the character of seed, producing after its kind. God’s purposes are accomplished in His word. See the word of God as the best seed to give you the best harvest ever in all areas of your life. That is why in our previous study we learnt that the Word of God is profitable. His Word is the most potent seed.
In Isaiah 55:11 God declares the unparalleled efficacy of His Word: “so is my word that goes out from my mouth: It will not return to me empty, but will accomplish what I desire and achieve the purpose for which I sent it”. In this scripture God vocalizes His confidence is His Word. What changes do you want to see in your life? It could be in your marriage, finances or relationship. Deliberately take time to meditate on the Word of God concerning those areas and you will see a massive harvest of positive changes in those areas. If a farmer desires potato, he plants potato seed. 2 Corinthians 3:18 says, “But we all, with open face beholding as in a glass the glory of the Lord, are changed into the same image from glory to glory, even as by the Spirit of the Lord”. You are changed into the same image you see in the mirror of God’s word. Relate with God’s word always as God’s seed in your life.
